HTC's fault or Sprint's or Android??? Battery life SUCKS.


I hope someone mentioned above puts out a fix for this. I'm tired of recharging my battery every 4 - 6 hours off of standby. I don't want to hear about any tweaks and about closing widgets cause i run almost all of them. This should have been adressed before the phone was put out into the wild and fixed. This is just insane that i need to keep a house charger and have to own 2 car chargers to keep my phone on. What good is a phone that can do everything but dies in several hours after barely using it? I'm not even in a 4g area.


Yes some of you say you get good battery life, but there is alot that don't. Like mentioned above i use my widgets. I shouldn't have to turn them off to get a half day life. I should be able to get atleast a day out of the battery.


I do not want to spend extra money on a bigger, heavier, no protective case fitting battery. I def give it to the iphone on this one...and i hate giving them any type of credit.


Please FIX this asap.

you're getting only a few hours with light use? or 4-6 hours when the device is just in standby? Your phone is either defective and you need to return it or your area is in a cdma deadzone so to speak. I get 25-30ish hours with light use. You said there are many out there with the drain you're experiencing... i don't think that's true. There are a few bad apples like yours in relation to the many out there with decent to good life. The one's experiencing it should exchange as this is beyond the poor battery life that people are experiencing. Even pro reviewers are saying they get 10 hours of intermediate use - and they say that's very poor battery life in their opinion. I haven't seen any reviewer say they only get a few hours with light use and 4g off.
