4 How much time you spent on the phone
5 How much you browsed the web
6 How much time you used it for gaming.
7 Your average number of bars for signal strength.
8 Have email set for push - how many accounts.

Engadget posted the battery life sucked and maybe it does but without posting how they were using it and under what conditions we can't really gather much from that post.

I know I'm asking for a lot of information but it would be 100 times more useful than someone just saying it lasted just 3 hours and then someone replying to them - you must have a defective unit - mine lasted all day and still had 20% -without any of the conditions that it was being used.

Thanks for participating.

I installed some battery widget for my phone and it claims that 75% of my battery is being drained by the display. Shouldn't the setting for the brightness of the screen (auto, 10%, 50%, etc.) be one of the most important factors for battery life?

Anyone here leave their BT on all day?

I get what HTC Hub sync is checking for but what is HTC Sense sync, syncing? And any clue why when you change from push updates to a lesser time interval it says "dashboard features may not be available with this setting"? What are dashboard features?

1. 4G - off
2. wifi - on (manually cut off when I know I'll be out of wifi range for extended periods)
3. BT - on/off manually toggle when using headset/connecting to surround sound in home and connecting to car
4. a few short phone calls and lotsof text idk at least 50-100
5. 1-3 hours web surfing through out the day
6. No gaming
7. 3+ bars signal average
8. 3 gmail accounts

Saturday I amazingly got 12hrs until hitting 14% that was with moderate use and that's pretty good compared to my OG Evo. Today and yesterday I'm getting less stellar performance draining approx 10%/hour wit little use besides texting and light web browsing. My performance seems irregular and probably wont normalize until i'm back on a regular schedule.

I haven't performed any of the OTA's either. I was wondering how much that makes a difference in battery life. We should include OTA (and which ones) or no OTA in our posts. I swear it seems like my phone is not sleeping correctly right now. Anyone else noticing this (uptime vs awake time)? Wonder if the OTA's address this at all?

I'm using juice defender from the market and my battery lasts me all day long goes down to half full after about 13hrs

Might have to try with Juice defender again. I purchased ultimate juice but just trying to give this a whirl barebones to get a base level first

I am. I think if it wasn't for that my battery would be better. I will post my results later.

Sent from my EVO 3D!

Do you guys use the preset settings for Juice Defender? Which one, balanced, agressive, extreme?

I use custom and then select which apps I want to include/omit. I also use the location based wifi settings

Network Connectivity drains the battery bad. The place I work at has pretty bad sprint tower connection. So my phone switches between Sprint/Roaming a lot…. That takes a big toll on my battery life.
