For those with battery issues

[mbell75]

Here is something that might help you out. The guy who helped me where I bought my phone has has a TP since its come out and has a friend who is a rep for HTC. When my battery was dying after only 10 hours without much use, I figured something was up and returned it. He agreed it was odd and said that HTC had some major QC issues with defective batteries, especially in the models shipped before Feb 09. One of the reasons is in the design itself, the magnetic back to be specific. Magnets and batteries of this type arent a very good mix and I dont know why HTC designed it like that.

If you are one of these people only getting 8-12 hours off a full charge and you arent using the phone that much, you have a defective battery and should return the phone. Thats what mine was doing. It would drop from like 90% to 50% overnight in sleep mode without me touching it. So he knew this was not right and replaced the phone. My new one works great, I get 24 hours or so off a full charge with pretty heavy use and closer to 36 hours with moderate use. I can go a full 2 days without charging if its being lightly used, just a few texts and emails. This is the performance that you should be seeing with the stock ROM.
