44 hours and still counting....

i can push it to 38 hours with only checking email texts and twitter every few hours, but also a lot of standby time randomly in between. i know that's not with heavy or moderate use, but that should say something about all these dumb reviewers quoting 5-10 hours in standby only LOL.

Yeah I got about 48 to 52 hour without charging. But then again I'm a light user of my phone...

I use the heck out of mine... I don't see 3,000hrs w/o charging happening for me. lol

Here is my current battery usage:



However you classify my usage, I am getting about twice the battery life that I did on my Touch Pro2.

Maybe someone should give a battery walkthrough. here is my setup.

Usage: Moderate
Regular software used: Meebo, Web Browser, phone, text and email.
Exchange Sync: Yes
Data: Yes
GPS: NO
4G:NO
WIFI: NO

Overclock widgit: Yes

Battery life: 8 hours if i am extremely lucky.

What have I done wrong? I dont stream music or anything like that.

I agree. I think its a crock if you are a "normal" user... err i mean a geek like most of us who plays with the phone alot more than the other guy/gal.

I'd disable exchange sync... i'd disable sync "anything". it silently exhausts your battery in the background. you should get at least 24hr...

I would have to agree with this post-----i just started getting half way desent battery life out of my phone since i returened my old EVO and got a new one---my first was part of the initial batch, now i can get about 9-10 hours life where as before with my old one i got barely 4, and i am a heavy user, i get my moneys worth out of it DAILY. i am running a stock ROM but i am thinking of rooting it tonight just to see if there is any huge differerence in speed and battery life with custom ROM and some proven tweaks. i'll report in later.

I sure would like someone with some knowledge come in here and explain how a device running a larger screen, a larger processor, more ram and the same OS as other Android devices yet none of them are getting this kind of battery life...... Oh damn, I forgot, the EVO is magic. My mistake guys.
