what works for me is in the morning i unplug it for about 30 min and it will say 91% with NO use, i plug it back in til its 100% again and i can go 9 hours with moderate usage and only be at 55%. works for me. right now ive been unplugged for an hour and it hasnt dropped at all, still reporting 100%

Thats interesting but very believable I'm going to have to give it a try b/c mine does the exact same thing. But I'd say the last 65-55% lasts really long so overall battery life is still good, with this it may be great

I think I remember this on the Diamond and OG TP, it seemed that when it hit 100% while charging it would stop charging. I remember doing this solution with my Diamond and it helped at that time also.

One strange thing that I have noticed is that battery power lasts longer with bluetooth ON. This was the case with my TP2 as well. Maybe it balances power distribution more evenly? Less spiking? I cant figure out why it works. On my TP2 it made a HUGE difference. On the EVO it is only making a slight difference.
