Post your battery life on the EVO 3D here

[boe]

I figure we could get a more reasonable guess at what type of EVO 3D battery life a new user gets if you -

1 Post if you have 4G turned on or off
2 post if you have wifi turned on or off
3 use BT all day long or not - (not necessarily on the phone but have your headset ready at all times and bt enabled on your phone).
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.

Hopefully we'll see some info now that people are getting them. I"m really curious if engadget was right in dismissing the battery life on the EVO 3D.

Here is my battery life with the new EVO 3D:
1 Post if you have 4G turned on or off <OFF>
2 post if you have wifi turned on or off <OFF>
3 use BT all day long or not - (not necessarily on the phone but have your headset ready at all times and bt enabled on your phone). <BT on all day>
4 How much time you spent on the phone <Made 3 calls today for about 10 minutes total>
5 How much you browsed the web <None today>
6 How much time you used it for gaming. <None>
7 Your average number of bars for signal strength. <3+ bars signal average>
8 Have email set for push - how many accounts. <None at this time>

With that little going on, my battery was yellow by 6PM and I didn't unplug it this morning until after 10AM. So about 8 hours of non-use and the battery was almost dead. I'm NOT impressed. Oh, I did take three 3D pictures. I guess that must have worn it out today.

1. 4G - off
2. wifi - off
3. BT - off (only use BT when driving in my dumptruck at work and haven't used it yet.)
4. 3 phone calls for total of 30 minutes and about 20 texts
5. 1 hour total web usage (surfing) and 4 downloads
6. No gaming
7. 3+ bars signal average
8. No push email

I charged it all night (while off), unpluged it then plugged it back in. It actually charged for another 30 minutes. Took it off charger at 9 am saturday morning and I'm just now charging it (while off) at 10 am sunday morning. I say I'm getting decent batt life outta this thing!

Here's a tip: Go into sync and accounts and turn off auto sync for HTC hub and HTC Sense. These seem to keep the phone active and so far there has been no repercussions turning them off.

8 hours of very light use yesterday and I had 72% left.
wifi/4g/everything off.

Are you guys using auto brightness? I'm trying to extend my battery life, I can barely get 8 hours out of this thing!

[Mswezey]

i've hit about 14 hours with pretty good use.

I've tried out juice defender, it seems to helped out a little bit.

Yesterday I had it on, phone last all day at work no problem

I took it off that night and today my phone got done to 30% when I came home.

im at 85% battery with 11 hours of battery life and 35+ minutes in calls and normal texting and internet. Very very impressed with the battery life on this phone once properly configured

So just came back after a 15 hour shift at a place where there is NO voice/data signal (well maybe get 1/2 bar or so if I stand near a window which there aren't many). I still have 1/2 the battery left. Couple of things I did:

** Kept 4g AND 3g data off while in the buildling. Connected to the local wifi in the building to use data and groove ip for voice (and ?text). Worked well. Usage was about medium (i.e. wasn't on the phone the entire time, but did get on and off for various apps, web surfing, etc.

1. 4G - off
2. wifi - off
3. BT - off
4. 8 phone calls 40+texts
5. Maybe 1 hour total Internet usage. Posted 3 pics and updates status to Facebook mostly.
6. No gaming
7. 3+ bars
8. Hotmail ActiveSync
*9. Took about 15 3D pics and 4 videos about 2 minutes each.

All that and still had 30% battery after about 11 hours of usage at Warped Tour. I am really impressed. My daughter had my EVO 4g and had to change batteries midway.
