Re: Improve Battery Perfomance on HTC EVO 4G from Sprint

So....for several days I considered returning my EVO and reactivating my Touch Pro 2 because my battery life was horrible. Charge my phone up to a full charge before sleep and then wake up to half battery. Recharge and battery would be almost dead by the end of my work shift. Tried changing the settings on each and every application. Screen turned down..so on and so forth. On top of all that, I tried the app killer apps and liked none of them. They were too buggy for my taste. Finally, in the settings I found Accounts & sync, I found my savior lol. I uncheck Background data and the rest is history. My battery has last all day at work with occasionally putting my phone on airplane mode while in the office, mild texting, and web browsing. And of course that's with all of the unnecessary radios turned off. So now I am keeping it. I loved everything about it and battery life was the only complaint I had. I'm not really caught on background data. If I want to find out anything, the phone manually updates at the push of a button and that's sufficient enough for me. I just wonder if anyone else has had the same results, or if I'm blowing this out of proportion???
