The Battery on my Pro 2 is not as strong as the Pro. 20 minutes of talk, 10 txt and 10-15 minutes of browsing eats about 3 bars on a full charge.

I am going to keep track of the usgage & types of usage for the power drain.

I read that you shoud fully charge only a low battery. Also, do not charge the phone while talking on it.

I'm loving the battery life on mine. I'd think about getting a different battery if that's really the case with that amount of usage because that is pretty lame.

These phones use lithium ion batteries, there is no need to let the battery run low on a regular basis, that can cause more harm than good. So basically just keep it charged all the time. Now as far as bad battery performance there could be a number of issues going on with the phone but for the most part the common consensus around here is that the tp2 battery performance is alot better than the tp1

What? I just received my phone at 5:00pm I started paying with it.
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?

All LION batteries take 3-4 charges and discharges before they start performing at their peak.

Maybe you have a defective phone or something? My battery life outshines my TP by a landslide.

I remember when I first got my Diamond that a few people had worse battery life than others and the advice was to take it to the store and get a new battery -- which worked. Since there are no TP2s at the store, maybe try calling tech support to see if they will send you one ... worth a shot. Or you could wait until the stores are carrying the phone.

The battery on my TP2 blows. So I called Verizon and they shipped me out a new battery, I should have it by thursday.

What are the chances that it's the phone and not the battery? I mean, how often is the phone the culprit and not the battery? It sounds to me like it would almost be exclusively a battery issue. How could the phone be the issue?

Right now we're all just getting use to the TP2. It wouldn't surprise me though if a month of two from now we start finding out that HTC had some issue's with batches of batteries and thus there are some of us experiencing issues.
