If your battery has not charged and discharged 4 to 5 times, then your battery is not a it's peak performance.

we are both in same boat. Mine is the 0002 version and I've tried all the fixes and with-in 7 hours of light internet use, a few emails and text, with no 4g, auto sync. friend stream or anything my phone is in the red. I think I need a new batery.

Hardware version: 0002 here and I was seeing some minor light leakage under the buttons at the bottom of the phone (no lifting). I have fixed the light leak and will be posting a guided tutorial with photos tomorrow morning on how to do this.

I pretty much use my phone for everything, texts, email, music media but during the day mainly just texts and promotion stuff because i do event planning and club promotion-----very lite phone use as far as calls until about a week outfrom an event but that kind of use should not yield only 4-5 hours battery life, i just did an exchange today bc of a crack in the glass over the rear camera, they were pretty easy on me. checked the version and its a 003 , checked for light leak that is not present and the screen is not lifted anywhere so physically there is nothing wrong with it, but the real test is the battery life of this new unit, i am currently killing the battery fully then doing the full charge on off trick and seeing exactly what comes of it. i will report back ASAP.

i just did an exchange at the sprint store and have another 003, im crossing my fingers on this one, so far everything physically looks great, none of the prior mentioned defects---note--the rep told me that this shipment just came in today so im really hoping i will get a good one this time, other than that i love the EVO, i cant ask for a better device that i use for buisiness as well as regular entertainment. i will let you guys know what happens. thanks for all the tips
