Yes!!!!! I finally made it to the cool kid club. 4 hours of screen time. Had to use the help of airplane mode throughout the night. I also had a mysterious spike (I believe I rebooted my phone) that wasn't from a charge.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geniustheanimal:
After some settling in time, and weening back to slightly-above-average usage, I'm seeing some great battery life! Listened to some music, browsed XDA and Reddit apps on and off all day, few phone calls, numerous text messages, twitter, facebook, app downloads, etc. Also have push mail enabled from my Exchange server (a fair battery hog), and 30 mins synch for mail during off-peak (evening) hours.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgtblunt:
I don't agree with this, I race rc cars and have bout 20 different batteries out Nicd and Lion, and Lipo. Yea they see bigger batteries ranging from 7 to 12 volts, the only big difference between lithium and nickle is how you store them over longer periods.

Fyi, I have seen lithium batteries really explode, nuked a 1/10th scale car into pieces
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmentals:
Mostly WiFi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fldash:
You don't have to agree with it but the research shows it to be true for both Li-io and Li-Polymer (what's in the EVO).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgtblunt:
1 day 11 hours 20 minutes and be battery is down to 4% totally normal usage not heavy usage, wifi on GPS off. Also I'd like to add during that time my phone went threw 2 mornings where my 5 set alarms went off and I kept hitting snooze. My evo isn't rooted yet or I would post a screen.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DJ1994:
Just press and hold home + power and it'll take it. Or press hold power and volume down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
Battery is not super, but I've been using the phone ALOT. I'm impressed.

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ptrd:
I get about 13 hours moderate use and its down to 4%. It's alright but yeah I am missing my extended battery on the og EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
So I went from 2-3 hours of screen time (which can be seen in my earlier posts) to 4+ screen time (which can be seen in my earlier posts) to now 5+ hours screen time. I keep my screen at auto brightness (I want to keep the thing I love the most).

If anybody is interested, I'll let you know what I did. I don't know if anything I did, actually has an affect. But after monitoring the battery with better battery stats and other tools, I found some slight tweaks. Mostly get rid of stuff I didn't use. Here are some of the minor things I did:

1) Find problem apps. I used better battery stats and found that my stock widget and extended controls were causing a lot of wakes. I got rid of them. If you have a lot of apps, (transferring from an old phone) this is a good process.

2) Sign out of latitude. Google Maps seems to be a big contributor. I also have Location setting turned to off. (But I've kept Google's location service on).

3) Limit background processes. Settings > Developer Options > I choose at most 2 processes (But what sucks is after you reboot your phone the limit goes back to 'standard').

4) Use titanium (if rooted) to freeze some unecessary culprits. This was trial and error. I froze some things but later found out that the phone didn't like it. I mostly targeted the HTC weather stuff (I use Weatherbug) and Google apps that I do not use. They seemed to pop up from time to time in battery stats

-Talk 4.0.4 (Gtalk seemed to be a major culprit)

-Friend Stream

-Friend Stream Widget

-Google Play Music

-HTC Weather Provider

-HTC Weather Sync Provider

-HTC Weather Wallpaper

-Weather 1.0.22

-Weather 4.0.22

-Voicemail (using Google Voice)

-Sprint Zone

-Sprint Music Plus

-Automotive Traffic

-com.android.wallpaper.holspiral

-Google Text-to-speech Engine

5) Changed Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep from 'Always' on to "Only when plugged in".

5) Like always, Be smart. Check your sync settings, only sync things you use . Turn off off wifi when not using it. I also turn off mobile data when using wifi. Exit out of apps by pressing back.

6) If you are using better battery stats or any other tools, freeze them when your done monitoring. The one widget that displayed mah was waking the phone every ten minutes preventing it from going to sleep.

Awesome

I honestly don't know how to explain to people how awesome the battery life is on this phone. At times I honestly think that there's something wrong with it. Just because I'm not use to my phones lasting this long.

I have the galaxy S2 as well (required for work) and I'm happy if I make it home by the end of the day with some juice.

This is normal use several calls, text emails, twitter, instagram, etc. I don't typically play games on my phone. I just have to say bravo HTC and to think I'm not even rooted yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Really the trick is to disable everything you're not using. Use various programs listed in this thread to discover what is truly running in the back ground.

I don't use facebook/twatter/etc, so all that is not only turned off (not set to sync), but also frozen.

Unless you absolutely have to receive your email immediately, set up polling with 1 hr or longer intervals. If you have multiple accounts, determine which are not vital and set them appropriately.

I have no experience with the stock email app, but have been using k9 mail for the last 2 years. Very configurable client with LOTS of options.

Finally, if you're in an area with poor reception, i believe no amount of tinkering will help your battery life. Poor reception takes more juice for the radios. Contact sprint to get a free airave device (femtocell).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jryanvt:
thanks for the tips. quick question, and it may be as simple as going to settings and clicking "Mobile network" off, but how do you turn off mobile data when on wifi? the og evo had a setting "enable always on mobile data" but i haven't found that in the new evo lte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] creighton:
Couldn't agree with you more. Nice to know I can make it two days if necessary.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
I haven't found an option like that. I've just been doing it manually when I'm at work or home. Just been going to settings and clicking off on mobile data.

I want to get back to using 'Tasker' again. But I want to make sure it isn't much of a battery drain and doesn't keep 'waking' the phone. With Tasker you should be able to disable mobile data while on wifi and vice versa automatically.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greymalken:
I was thinking of starting a thread like this but this is easier. . .

So I took my phone off the charger on Tuesday morning, used it the whole day, and forgot to plug it back in that night. On Wednesday, I didn't charge it at all to see what happens. It's now middle of the day on Thursday and it's still going strong. My og Evo, with extended battery would've died by now.

My normal use involves turning of mobile data at work and the phone is constantly roaming while I'm there. The only thing that works is SMS. After work I turn data back on and use it or wifi normally. In fact, I'm posting this from my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Hell you could probably make it a third day. What's your on-screen time looking like? (tap on screen in the above screenshot).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
@greymalken , What's your screen on time?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greymalken:
Actually only 2 hours. I guess I don't use it as much as I perceive that I do. At least not during the week when I work. . .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Makes sense. You'd still net like 4 hours with consistent use. Probably a bit more.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greymalken:
Probably. Though, for my usage habits, this phone had been kicking ass!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] emyvett:
I'm going to continue using my phone and see what the final outcome is before my battery completely dies. What I'm trying to do is see if I can use my phone normally (*based on my standards) without having to alter or change anything and still maintain my daily use.

I found myself watching and spending a lot of unnecessary time watching my OG Evo battery and doing tweaks for optimization. I vow to not do that or be a battery watch dog once I got this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] emyvett:
Here is where I am today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greymalken:
So, by the end of the day on Thursday here's what I ended up with before I lost me nerve and plugged back in:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Screen on time??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] splcfiya:
I've came to the conclusion, at least in my case, that the phone will last about 4-5 hours of on screen time.

So if you use it right away then your phone will last a few hours, if you use your phone for one hour every 6 hours then your phone will last the whole day.

So its great in normal situations for me (when i have work/busy), but its only pretty much average when I actually need to use it all day
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
A unique observation. I usually use my phone as an alarm clock and by the morning, it is at 90% (Evo3D) and sometimes 80% (OG evo). Check out my battery usage with the Evo LTE. I was quite amazed!!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I think this was mostly wifi from this weekend. I don't remember how many times I left the house this weekend. So far the phone lasts me all day and I charge while I sleep (if I remember to throw it on the charger) so I am pleased. I have not done a thing to try to help my battery though. I have frozen or disabled any app in my drawer I don't want. I don't use my phone too much on the weekends.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Best battery life I've ever had in a phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ninja07:
Is there any power-saving measures you are taking? I am seeing drain of around 1% per hour overnight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Mine barely drains overnight. I left it off the charger last night, and it barely lost any power, if any at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
No power saving measures at all. In fact, I leave my mobile network, GPS, and bluetooth on. One of my email accounts checks every 5 minutes through the night and I usually turn the screen on a few times at night as well.

I am extremely happy with the battery so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] abbazaba:
I didn't think Chameleon was bad (25% after 15hrs), until I tried fresh and got double (50% after 15hrs)! New phone means I install/uninstall apps everyday, lots of sms, hours of bluetooth music listening, mild camera use, moderate to heavy internet use, very little gaming, very little phone calls, no GPS navigation either day.

Wham! Nearly 7 hours of screen time. This is all thanks to flashing the stock Rom w/ goodies which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701117

Nothing else that special. With this ROM, the phone sleeps like a baby, all night without dropping a %. Auto-brighness on, read books, made calls, downloaded podcasts and listened to them, updated 10+ apps on market, etc. #heavy use.

When I first got my phone, I was getting between 2-3 hours screen time. Then I tweaked, got 4 hours. Then I flashed this ROM and 7 hours screen.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Frank_Murphy:
I'm running Fresh's ROM. Not bad, but I'm very intrigued by people's screenshots of 19 hrs battery life and 7 hrs screen time on Flex's ROM. I'll flash it tonight and see if I can get similar results.

I'm not dissatisfied though, especially since I'm running a ton of widgets and background apps. 12 hrs total battery time is not that good, but 5 hrs of screen time is atypical. I also played about 6 songs from my SD card, streamed Pandora for about 20 minutes, recorded a video at max. resolution, uploaded it to Dropbox, sent/received a couple of dozen texts, made/received a few calls, surfed the web a lot, and downloaded a few apps.

All in all, the battery life on this phone is MUCH better than the OG EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I recently switched to handcent (from gosms) and noticed a higher battery consumption. Using something called badass battery monitor, I found out it was handcent causing a wakelock. An issue they've had way back in ver 3.xx. If popup's are enabled, a wakelock occurs during the time a message is received to the time it's read.

I have bbs (better battery stats) here too, but it wasn't reporting the above info directly. Anyways, the above is worth a shot to figure out what's really consuming the battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
My battery life sucks compared to my OG Evo with the exact same usage. As you can see I listen to tune in alot but no more than when I had the OG. And could someone please help decipher the bbs readings. Thanks.

Brought to via my EvoLte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
With BetterBatteryStats, usually you look for partial wake locks to track down a "rouge" process that is keeping your phone awake, ie not going into deep sleep, and draining your battery.

I don't see anything besides tune in radio, but I don't have a feeling if that can be expected.

Can you go into screen and see your screen on time? 4-5 hours seems to be the limit.

i find it kinda hard to run down the battery on this phone. i don't think ive hit less than 50 in about a week. at the moment im at 72% at 16 and a half hours and i use my phone to play music pretty much all day (stored on sd card) and send quite a few texts. im by wifi most of the time so i just leave my 3g off. ill post a pic if your guys really want me to, or you can take my word for it and let me be lazy haha

Haven't had the chance to run the phone through a full day of normal use - which would be a Saturday or Sunday.

I get poor reception at work - so M-F from about 8-430 the phone is in airplane mode. I did notice that after about 5hrs of idle time I only lost 1% in charge. Pretty good discharge rate.

I have to say even stock the new EVO has a hella battery who would of thought 500 MaH would make such a difference. I say that but I have screen shots of my OG EVO going 48- 72 hours with out a charge.

I'm not entirely sure that this has been posted yet, but I do notice a substantial increase in battery life when I set the network mode to CDMA only in the Mobile Network settings. We don't really have LTE yet, so if it's not in your area, there's no point in the phone constantly polling for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dude2k5:
Do you guys have any apps that turn off wifi when it's not around (i suppose like juice defender)? Do you keep GPS on all the time? What settings do you have? Besides CDMA only, and NFC doesn't take too much.
