well i played w/the phone and was on it non stop for lke 5hrs talking and texting... even jumped online by the end of all this i recieved the less than 15% battery life warning... an important call came in so i paniced and placed it on the charger i was trying to see how long the battery would last before it got to 0-5%

Here's what you need to do... go to settings, about phone, and press battery... now tell me if the up time and awake time are the same. If they are, you're phone isn't sleeping, this was causing me to have 4-6 hours of battery life until I fixed it.

Unfortunately the only thing I found that fixed it was a hard reset :-/

Why do I feel like all these battery "tricks" are a hoax? I guess it could be possible that our phones can't charge a battery to full capacity but I thought the days of battery memory were long gone.

I can't wait to see what comes out next - power cycle 15 times, charge for 2 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 31 seconds while phone is off, turn phone on and charge for 21 mins, spin in a circle counterclockwise with phone in hand while chanting EVO EVO EVO.
