Battery life
 

I looked but didn't see a topic on this. Sorry if I missed it.

I pull mine off the charger around 6:30am and it's usually just about dead by 5pm. At first I played with it a lot trying to get used to it but now I just use it moderately and it seems as though the battery life is the same.

what kind of battery life are you all getting on it? I saw a few reviews online that said it had excellent battery life and last all day with heavy use. Mine won't last 5 hrs with heavy use

Re: Battery life
 

I've been really surprised by the battery life. My TP2 was awful, so I was hesitant about how well this would work.

But I can say confidently that I can get a full 24 hours out of mine. That's with texting, GPS, using the FM Radio, as well as e-mails and internet browsing. The only real thing that kills my battery is when I play the XBOXLive games such as ilomilo.

I take it off about 6am and I don't get the pop up warning its about to die until about 11pm or so. That with listening to zune for 7 or so hours at work, texting, and playing impossible shoota for like 10 minutes.

My weather and email sync once an hour.

Battery life is excellent on my end. I went about two days the other day with moderate usage. I'm extremely happy with battery life. This is with a fresh out the package Evo battery, when conditioned via three full life cycle. Life cycle=fully++ discarded and fully charged.

Mine too, haven't done one battery saving tip. have plenty left lieft at the end of the day. Don't play games but watch netflix for an hour each day at lunch.

I have excellent battery life with moderate use. However, for some reason when I have a texting conversation going on..I pretty much watch my battery bar drop as often as I send a new message.

Re: Battery life
 

Sounds like all of you have pretty good battery life. Maybe I just got a bad battery? Should I see if Sprint will replace it?

Re: Battery life
 

if possible factory reset and have a sprint corp store order a new battery. try an htc evo battery, there no official benefits.

Actually I take what I said earlier back, i'm not too sure what to think of my battery life so far. I've had a few good days but mostly bad. Today for instance is bad because I'm sitting at around 50% and I really haven't done much but demo the phone to a few people. I'm thinking it's gotta be bad service in my area? It's typically 1-2 bars where I live. Sometimes I can feel my phone getting warm in pocket (no it's not something else, i already checked!) for no reason. I updated PRL. I soft reset regularly because I'm paranoid about apps being open in the background and draining my battery. I see no difference in battery life between my tp2 battery and arrive battery. I performed a hard reset a few days ago. How is your service where you live?

Re: Battery life
 

I didn't think about service. My service sucks in my neighborhood but is great at work, which is where the majority of my time is spent. I took my phone off the charger today around 8:30am and I really haven't done much with it today and its at 50% now (2:15pm)

Re: Battery life
 

reception strength is very important surrounding battery life results. i have not so hot reception at home and my battery life suffers. when im out and about where reception signal is good to great, battery life is 24-36 hrs on a single charge.

Re: Battery life
 

Here's a tip. When in poor service areas for extended periods of time and won't be using the phone set it to airplane mode. That way the battery won't drain.

APCI:
Something is definitely wrong with my device. I performed a soft reset and let it sit on my desk overnight at 50% batt and I woke up and the phone was off because of a dead battery. I know for a fact that batteries are still good and all of my sync settings are at a long frequency. What apps do you have installed? Maybe something is constantly running in the background

Re: Battery life
 

Strange, the same exact thing happened to me -only once. I wonder if it was something running in the background like IE windows?

Otherwise the batt life has been better than my TP2. I'm charging once a day & txting/listening to Zune quite a bit.

note: I get great reception @ home & work.

Re: Battery life
 

The past few days have been great on battery life. The trick is to use the back button to get to the start screen rather than pushing the "home" button to jump right to it. The back button acts as the task manager and closes apps when you hit "back"

Good point ncsportic, I didn't realize there was a difference...

Here's an MSDN link on it, the graph is good for a quick reference:
