How to improve your battery life:

1. Turn On battery Saver in Settings > System > Battery Saver.

2. Goto Settings > Applications > background tasks > and switch off apps running in background like HTC Hub, it drains battery a lot.

3. Use Black Background and HTC Green Accent.

4. Disable Locations Service in Settings if you dont think this is a usefull feature.

5. Disable Geo-tagging feature in Settings, you can simply turn it off from Settings, Applications, Pictures & Camera and choose Off from the “include location (GPS) information in pictures you take.".

6. Data roaming is another feature that eats the battery's energy, if you are not using it you can turn the feature off from Settings and Mobile Network.

7. I recommned to turn off 3G connectivity if you're not using it for faster Internet browsing.

8. Also disable Connections like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as much as you can, use it only when you need it.

9. Adjust Screen Brightness in Settings. Automatically is by default and drains battery a lot. Switch is off ans set level to "medium".

10. Another battery eater - Change Email Interval in you Inbox Settings, default is 30 change it to "Hourly" or even better "manually".

11. Turn Off Xbox Live Auto Connect in Settings > applications > Games.

12. Conenct to your PC via USB cable. You can sync your device via Wifi but this will drain your battery fast.

Also, if you are a ROM addict and flash your device severall times be aware that battery needs 2 or 3 full cycles to stabilize.
