Man, lets take on the problem at hand...

1. kill friend stream....start up "TALK" in your apps, hit the menu button at bottom and select settings then uncheck auto sign in....then select sign out...

2. Reduce brightness to about 30% and uncheck auto adjust.

3. Lose ATK as 2.2 has one built in, but refrain from using it as 2.2 manages apps internally.

4. Qik....ALWAYS sign out after using and exit app, otherwise it will poll constantly draining battery.

*note*
Always use an apps menu to exit if it has one!

5. In sync, uncheck contact sync, everything else is ok. Only sync to google when needed. It's an extra step but will help with batt.

6. Some will say to that formatting your SD card will help but I still would like to know how. Formatting an SD card has absolutely no bearing on batt life on any device but thats your call. As with rooting, that's your call too.

7. Don't use live wallpaper. You can use ANY background you wish as color has no bearing on batt life, unless you keep it on the home screen for hours at a time....

These are just a FEW tips and you will learn more as you read and progress. I get 18-24 hours with moderate use, on stock 2.2 and not rooted, with just about every service turned on. Your mileage will vary though. Just remember to EXIT or SIGN OUT of an app that you are not using and/or finished using. Good luck man and hope you like your new EVO! Remember, we are here to help!
