Re: All HTC Evo Battery Perfomance Talk
I totally agree. That is why I have this Marketplace FREE app called Juice Defender. You can add on an additional package that supports Wi-Fi, but the base package is free and lets you customize time of day etc, for automatic turning off an on of the data.

Along with unchecking the background data box (unless when you want to browse and purchase apps from the market), turning off gps, 4g, and location services unless you're actually using them, these are the best tricks that i've learned from trial and error to conserve battery life.
