Battery life gone to crap after 3 days, why?
I picked up the evo on friday, and I activated it on a new line. Therefore I still had a tp2 on my main line and I did not use the evo for calls. I went ahead and set it up wit all of my info and d/l a few apps and such. The first night I left bt and wifi off, put the phone in airplane mode and left it off the charger for the night. I started at 98% and by 8am I was at 92% which was great. I left it off the charger all day and by the evening I was still around 72%. The next night I kept the same settings but turned cellular radio on (airplane off) and I had very similar results. Over night I only lost 7%. Problem is, the next night I d/l K9 mail, a couple of silent/vibrate widgets and spareparts. That's when my battery starting disappearing quickly while idle. I am now losing 5-6% an hour with airplane mode on and nothing running. I uninstalled each of those apps one at a time to see if they were the problem, but battery life is still horrible. As of now, the phone has been off of the charger for 1 hour 21 min and I am at 92%. Battery info says "phone idle" has used 83% of that. Am I missing something that could have made such a drastic change? I planned on switching the evo to my main # tonight, but I'm afraid that if I actually use it I won't get more than a few hours in battery. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
