htc tp2 battery is weak

[TheBundo]

My battery life went way down compared to Saturday, when I seemed to be doing the same sort of stuff. The difference may have been that I had turned on Push Internet, Stocks updating automatically, Weather automatically, POP email very 10 (up from every 15), etc. I just reset everything back, so will see how it goes tomorrow.

I'm not sure what i've done... but my battery used to be good for over 2 days without charge. But I installed a bunch of things (most of the stuff in MightyMike's hacks/tips sticky thread) and a few other things like the 2d/3d graphics drivers etc. My battery has taken a dive... big time. I can easily get though the day, with minimal/moderate usage and battery is @ 20 - 30% levels. The same usage a few weeks ago would have been 60%+.

Can someone point me in the directions of a good backup your phone for hard reset thread or tool?

I am wondering if the people with good battery life are leaving the auto dim feature on vs people with bad battery life are turning that off and manually cranking the brightness to full. I have my brightness to full and no autodim. I can maybe get through a work day (8am-6pm). Haven't tested the difference though.

i've been playing with my tp2 a lot since i got it.. i always last to the next morning. it's great! don't make much calls, but i use other stuff like gps, a lot of texting and multiple email accounts checking every hour or every 4 hrs. plus i'm still playing iwht it a lot because of the new factor. can't wait to see how long i can push battery life when i let it stay idle more.

No complaints with the battery so far .. I get a day and a half after gps,sms,email,internet usage ... Much better than TP1

Did Verizon asked you to send back your battery or you keep it as a spare one ?

THen I activated it and it had 2 bars straight from the box. After I activated it I've sent like 10 txt messages, 30 minutes of calls, you tube video, internet browsing..
Playing with it a little more, I ran three times the stuck pixels video because I have like 4 stuck pixels, well you can notice only one.. And I still have 2 bars.

I thought my battery drain was atrocious because the percentage gauge at the top of the phone read 65% after a full charge and using phone for only 20 min. But when I look under Power in settings I am at full strength. Is that gauge faulty?
