I rode mine hard yesterday, it made it from 5am to 5pm without plugging it in. I use 3g all day for my work. I didn't play with the camera or 4G though. When I wasn't on the browser I was on xda , it will get better within a few days. With my EVO 4G I had.to tote my charger with me while at work.
[HTC EVO 3D] hungryjoe:
Includes 4g while watching first Netflix and then half of the Green Hornet.

Now that it's been through a couple charge cycles the battery meter is starting to shape up and the charge seems to last a good deal longer, though I haven't bothered to time it since.

Edit: Using 3D supposedly takes more power so I suspect watching the Green Hornet was the major battery killer.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
3D takes a lot more power. Look at the 3ds. The battery is a joke with 3d on. Turn it off and that thing lasts forever.
[HTC EVO 3D] snarebum:
yeah i love this battery...for me its a night and day difference. plus in my opinion the battery charges so damn fast.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonpaz:
FYI, I left mine on Auto, and Phone Auto and Androd OS were each at 3% after a full days use.

I went through the entire batter and my top to uses was phone calls and Display.

My display was on for 2h 45min and I had 3h 17min talk time. % wise both were in the high 40's wise.

Overall, I was very impressed!

[HTC EVO 3D] thesabri:
spoke on phone for a few hours, had 4g on, wifi on... surfed a bit after 6hrs was at 50%... not sure why but i have not gotten the charging light to turn green while the phone charges when its off.

so far i love the battery and it almost seems like the extra batteries i've ordered wont be needed
[HTC EVO 3D] Abricr:
Good thread. Any more input?

Still haven't picked up the Evo 3D yet; battery life is a make-or-break thing for me. I need it to last 12-18 hour shifts on-call. Its hard to let go the Evo 4G with my 3500mAh if I think I'll be taking a huge step down in battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
If you dont use the 3d at all i would think that it would last that long pretty easily. but in the end its all how the individual uses it so really YMMV
[HTC EVO 3D] :
12 hours and 33 minutes since last charge. 1 hour 25 minutes with display watching 3d videos and xda, facebook, texting, and twitter. The rest was Poweramp playing music ALL NIGHT LONG! Im at 21% left.

so far its about average//on par with evo 4g. buttt i am using 3D ALOT. like alot more than I thought I would so thats a pretty big drain. i expect it to be 20ish% better than a stock 4g
[HTC EVO 3D] devgrp:
I got 11 hrs yesterday from a full charge. Got it yesterday morning and 8 and charged it fully. Took it to work and was showing it off to my co workers. Played 3d movies, took pics, talked for about 1 hr 15m. Installed apps and set up lock screen and just did a bunch of stuff. Total screen on time was 71%. This is not a typical day for me so I know I will get better battery performance. This was with wifi connected, and background sync on.
[HTC EVO 3D] FlowingAway:
18 hours yesterday. and that's with at least 2 hours of cut the rope combined time all through the day. and of course some 3d. crazy good compared to evo. i'm going to stay off the gaming today and take it easy on the 3d and see what i can get out of it.

I've noticed the phone battery looks like its at around 90-80% more around 90% though but when I go into it, its at 73%. I will definitely be buying a second battery for the phone but if your only getting 5hours on your phone, turn your 4G off unless you need it. Or get an appkiller, your doing something wrong, its not the phone. After 4 hours and constant texting, emailing, slight calls, and slight toying im at 73%, though it really looks like 90%. Also a great flashlight app that works is tiny flashlight +LED (I read somewhere people couldnt find one or have it work). Works great, its free and its not as ****ty as the one sprint gave. It has an on/off trigger.

If anyone is new to this type of stuff, private message me and I will help you out. Also, I was told over and over by sprint that it is not gorilla glass, as reviewers stated. Get a protector!
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
Fully charged 3D and I talked for 90 minutes and batter still full.

Fully charged rooted Hero died after 5 hours of being idle. Reinstalled stock Hero and two full days of full battery charge......hmmmmmmm.
[HTC EVO 3D] adamcattell:
Great battery life compared to the Evo, went 16 hours yesterday and still had 40-50% left, not heavy usage but I would have been on my third battery with the evo. So I'm very pleased with the battery..
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
2-1/2 hours since I unplugged full off charging last night. At 53% battery now :( wtf that's piss poor bad. I have been playing with the phone all morning, adding apps and messing with settings, etc...but still this is really bad.

I rolled over this morning to a green light at around 5 am. I have today ran WiFi for the majority of the time with autosynch and a little gas here and there. I had 1 hr of 3g and played angry birds for like 2 hrs total. Battery is at around 47%. Not bad considering. Also the display has been on full brightness.

[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
Yeah I got my 3d yesterday and I was surprised of the battery life, lots better then OG EVO so far I am very pleased with the battery, cant wait for the unlocked bootloader, then the battery will be excellent
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
I don't know what's going on with your phones, but I'm getting outstanding battery life. Yesterday I got 17+ with med to heavy useage, took some 3d pics, watched some youtube, had many email's and text, and a few phone calls. I've had mine since weds. and the first day it went pretty fast, but after that it's surpassed my rooted Evo by leaps and bounds. Give it a day or so to settle in and see if it's not alot better, if it's not then I would start checking some of the apps you're using. And don't forget, if you're using the phone for hours at a time without it sleeping, it's gonna drain the battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] lbhocky19:
would you mind looking at the battery info and posting the actual time for screen on ?

mine has gone from 95 pct battery to 65 in 2.5 hours while the screen has been on only an hour, and wifi has been on for maybe 30 minutes
[HTC EVO 3D] VintageSin:
Yeah I would like to also correct the time I play angry birds. It was like 12 mins minutes. Not sure why I said 2 hours. The display has been on now for 2 hrs and 30 minutes.

It's been up 9 hrs and idle for 6 of them. It's now at 30 pct.

I just installed Juice Defender Ultimate, lets see how this works ? I am also using the task manager a lot in the notification pull down bar, I will close apps running like internet or market, if I am not using them. Does that really help too ?
[HTC EVO 3D] rhconcepts:
I think some of you are high. The battery will get better after 10-20 full charges. But no way can you get more then 10 hours with wifi on watching 3d moves on youtube for a hour or two.. I do think it is better then the old evo for sure, and I dont even have setcpu running on this one yet.

Like I said the battery will get better so I may be eating my words about the 10 hour thing lol..
[HTC EVO 3D] keebler021:
Devs and others have stated before on the Evo 4G threads that task managers are actually a hindrance to good battery life on any phone that has 2.2 and above. The reason behind this is the fact that phones with 2.2 and above have a task manager built into the actual Android operating system. Also, for those people experiencing exceptionally poor battery life, is the software actually up to date? There's a pretty big battery saving update related to HTC Watch.
[HTC EVO 3D] itisaradday:
Meh.

Well, first full charge when I woke up this morning. Talked on the phone for about an hour, watched 10 minutes of youtube, checked some websites (wifi on this whole time) and then left for work (turned wifi off). This was about two hours of use. Got to work, showed it off a bit and took 3 3D pictures. Used the 2d camera app for ten minutes and took 12 pictures in 2D.

This was around 4 hours. Battery meter yellow. Checked my usage and I was at 65% used by the display.

No idea how anyone is getting great battery life with their screens set to full brightness, I'll be using auto for the next few days while my battery hopefully breaks in.

Also haven't accepted the OTA, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
At ~30% right now...also, brightness is at automatic:
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
One thing you guys can do (and I did this on every Sense build I ran with no ill effects) is go to Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks (not the check box) > and turn off "Enable Always On Mobile Data".

Basically, it doesn't allow apps to maintain a constant data connection when the phone is sleeping. I never used any email other than Gmail, so I can't confirm if auto sync still works with that, but my Gmail still came in instantly and battery life is improved by double.

Give it a shot :)
[HTC EVO 3D] aaron130:
I got to work at 9 pm last night and I plugged it in this morning at about 11am and i had 13% left. And i use my phone A LOT. Apps,web,text,YouTube,etc. So not too bad. I think it will just get better with time after it breaks in.
[HTC EVO 3D] rhconcepts:
He is right u can't just run stock and get good life on it. Turn some crap off and it will last longer. And why would someone keep the vibration text thing on anyways, that thing bugs me. But mine is starting to last longer and its only 3 days old.
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
Today I got 18h 17m on battery......talked for two full hours, played some games and surfed the net. Text a few and played around with it....not bad at all........still have life with 18 hours gone by.

[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:

whats up bro?.....guy im on 22 Hrs 42 mins and still have 35% left......left it off the charger all day yesterday and its still going.....pretty damn good, and with my experience so far this battery life dominates my old EVO....
[HTC EVO 3D] lowery23:
I was pretty impressed with my battery life yesterday. I went 13 hours or so and still had 25% left. This was with auto brightness turned off, some texting, checking FB and Twitter many times, playing some games and took a lot of 3D pics and videos. My friends Iphone had long since died and at the end of the day he was playing Fruit Ninja on mine because it was still going strong.

[HTC EVO 3D] ministersin:
My battery life has been AMAZING. WAYYYY better than the Evo 4G, the HD2, and the G1.

And I use my phone. A lot. Always. Tons. Even the first day when I didn't put it down at all...it lasted from the time I picked it up at 2pm until I went to bed about 11pm without even turning yellow.

I plugged it in and went for a full day on Saturday. Last night I didn't even put it on the charger and I am still going no problems.

Again...heavy user here. I had two regular batteries and one "fat back" battery for the 4G. I will probably get another 3D battery just to have it. But an extended battery would be stupid here if this battery life holds up. I mean maybe I will get one...in case I go on a long road trip or camping or something. But I won't use it regularly like I had to on the 4G.

3D does seem to be the biggest battery hog. Heavy processing I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] nikola25:
I took the battery down to 0%, full discharge, to the point where I could not get it to restart. Then began charging in wall socket and began my timer. Turned the phone back on after 10 minutes of charging. I decided to check the phone every 10 minutes after the 2 hour mark to see when I got green light. When I checked at 3 hours and 10 minutes green light was on and battery showed 100%. So approx a 3hr 10min charge time from 0>100% About 40 minutes faster than my epic 4g when I tested it and that has a smaller battery. I'm pretty happy with this.

today my bat died way too fast!!! i think what did it was system panel pro

since i got the phone on the 22nd batt has been fine, but it has to be because of the app.

[HTC EVO 3D] dcyouknow:
Today was my best test. Went to a concert tonight. Unplugged at about 4:45 and went to the show. Took about 100 pictures (many of them in 3D, and I'm impressed with how they came out), about 15 minutes of video (again, most of which was in 3D), uploaded those pictures onto Facebook (on 4G), made a few phone calls, sent about 75 text messages, 10 MMS messages, and surfed the web for a bit. At 10:45, I'm at 42%. I would definitely say the battery is pretty impressive after doing all of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] ninja_unmatched:
Whoever says they get better battery life then the EVO 4G is a liar, straight up. Just looking at my sister's phone for the short time I had it, it went through half the battery. No way, no how. If you are gonna say its better you need to prove why really and how you used it.

The phone boots really fast (i see talk of a fastboot option) and HTC is full of crap as for as the unlocked bootloader is concerned. But then again think about what carriers has this phone? Sprint, though not as strong jailors as Verizon, does put locks down as far as their EVOs are concerned.

I like the phone but not interested in switching until things are looking more in the ROOTED and unlocked side.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deveal2014:
Your sister **** must be busted because from day one Ive been getting 13-14 hrs off one charge with heavy usage i mean 4g 3d pics & video . Tell her 2 take it back we aint lying this way.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
17 hours off the charger. Data enabled the whole time and about 4 hours of heavy use thrown in. Just down to 8%. Battery life so far exceeds my old HeroC (Deck's 2.3.4 / JB .35 kernel OC'd 748 MHz) and my wife's Evo 4G (Fresh 3.5.01 / netarchy kernel no SBC & static undervolting) comparing similar usage across the 3 phones.

New android user here.. What kind of things should I adjust in my settings to increase battery life? Even if you point out the obvious I'm sure it'll help lol.

So far I've..

- kept BT/WiFi/4G off

- disabled background data

- disabled all the sync options except for fb updates

- turned off auto brightness and set it fairly low

- turned off all the vibration/haptic feedback type of stuff

Anything else I missed?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Stock, out the box evo 4g battery is light years behind where the 3d is. I get almost as good battery life on this phone as I did with custom kernels on the Og evo... "almost'.

Don't believe me? So what?

Making blanket statements like "just looking at my sisters phone" without knowing what her phone is doing/syncing/running makes you look ignorant.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Used it primarily for mobile web browsing, a couple texts, phone calls, and some apps. I had gone through 13 hours before it hit the 32% mark.

I'd say the battery is slowly improving since getting this on launch date.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
You look like an idiot.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
You nailed 2 of the 3 biggest draws.....screen brightness and mobile data. The other big battery draw is being in low service areas where your phone is searching for signal. If you can pinpoint those places and turn on airplane mode.....you'll save a ton. For me if I go into a hockey rink and don't hit airplane mode......sucks the life right out of my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Costas86:
Alright I have another question.. I have the green LED light on which means the battery is fully charged, but I'm also using the Battery Widget Pro that currently says my battery is at 96%.

I went through the Battery Widget settings and noticed the phone is set to stop charging at 1700 mA, however the stock battery is 1850 mA. Should I increase the stop level to 1850 mA or would that damage the battery? I actually just tried setting it to 1750 mA and noticed that it allowed it to go up to 98%.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Yeah....by all means charge your battery until it's full. Don't overcharge it, but charge it until it's full. I also like to charge from a usb port on my computer as opposed to A/C outlets. The battery charges slower and puts less heat into your phone/battery.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet in this thread, but I noticed with my EVO 4G that the Google Talk app would be a big battery drainer. When I'm not using it I would sign out. While the app is open, go to the settings and de-select auto-login. If you don't make that change, google talk is always running.
[HTC EVO 3D] ballr4lyf:
That's been done. If you don't believe it, that's your problem. It looks like 9/10 people are reporting better battery life than the OG evo. The other 1/10 can probably be traced back to a rogue app... For instance, I don't know if you realized this, but "Words with Friends", before the last update (haven't played it since then), and even if you killed the app after you were done with it, was a HUGE battery draw for the 3 minutes you had it opened to play a 2-letter word cuz you didn't have any friggin vowels!!! :mad:

You have to hold really still with any camera to get a good shot... It all comes to the trinity of photography--ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Not any one set of settings will yield good photographs, as it all depends on the available light in the shot, and several other factors.

My battery life if great!

I got 22 hrs with moderate use. Much better than my girl's evo. I calibrated my battery by draining it completely then turning off and charging it. Unplug, charge and repeat about 4 times then turn the phone back on.
