How's your battery life now after 2 months?

In my opinion, you should adjust your screen brightness. In my experience, when you're showing over 50% to screen, it's usually to bright. Switch to auto or move the brightness bar down low. This screen is so awesome, it's still bright on a low setting.

I'm LOVING my E4GLTE! I'm usually charging it every other day, no help apps. In Los Angeles, Sprint 3G is HORRIBLE, but L.A. is also the land of Wi-Fi so I connect everywhere there's a hotspot so I RARELY use 3G. My advice to any of you with battery problems: use wi-fi over 3G and set your screen brightness to auto or at least move the brightness bar down low. The screen will still be awesome on a lower setting.

I'm in the same position. I've got my display on auto too.

Then I would go to Sprint Zone, click on "power controls" and check all your power settings. Sprint Zone rates each setting "high", "medium", or "low". If you have somes high, see if you can adjust those settings. Hard reset could be a possible remedy as well, but you want that to be the ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT!!

Looks pretty normal. Screen will always take the most if you do more than let the phone sit in your pocketpocket

Just got my phone yesterday. Made sure to plug it in and fully charge before activating it. Resisted plugging it in last night and am now fully draining it before charging again. Hopefully this will provide a good baseline and conditioning of the battery! We will see.

Everything I've read recently says fully draining current batteries isn't the best idea. Conditioning is also no longer necessary

My battery life is great, far better than the OGEVO. Because of ther large screen, though, I still use and keep handy, a solar charger, just in case. Much, much better than the old EVO.

Here are some specs, just under 2 days with 11% remaining. This phone is now my daily driver, so I get about 200 emails a day and create/respond to about 10-15. Spend time on web, doing gotomeetings and make about 20-45 min of phone calls. At the moment, I'm pretty happy with battery life.

The advanced task killer really made a difference though, not sure why.

I used to have advanced task killer on my hero but someone told me the evo task manager is more safer and better for the phone so I deleted it when I switched to the EVO

My phone is always showing that the screen is using about 75 percent of the put consumption and I don't have my screen at full brightness. Is there anything I can do to reduce that? I'm only only getting about 5-6 hours of battery life because of that.

**Lawrence76taylor** · 08-22-2012, 02:04 PM

Oh and more thing, my phones screen is not even on for half of those 5 to 6 hours

**Va1ha11a** · 08-22-2012, 03:45 PM

I'm with you, and so far I haven't found a solution.

Edit: are those of you with awesome battery life using face unlock?

**Cyrene** · 08-22-2012, 08:15 PM

I used face unlock for a few weeks. It made no difference in battery life for me.

I would start by going to Sprint Zone and tapping the "power controls." Under "current power usage" you will be able to see the rating (high, med, low) for each item. I think the display brightness and screen timeout, WiFi, and auto sync accounts are the keys to changing your battery life. For me, WiFi is a big one because Sprint's 3G is a SERIOUS battery sucker. Use WiFi as much as possible if you don't already.

I'm starting my 3Rd week with this phone and love it. I have my screen brightness set at 25% and auto lock on 2mins. I usually get about 1.5 days on a charge.
If I knew how to post a pic of the screen shoot I would....haha.

Press power and home button at the same time.

Battery Life now after 7 weeks.

I continue to get very good battery life. Not as good as that, but close. I just did the new upgrade to sense 4.1 today, we'll see if it makes things better/worse/same

Over 2 days that awesome I had to do it really light use to get 3 days my phone on average get 24 to 50 hours it hardly ever go past 2 days uncharged.

Battery life is fine for me. Roaming is the big battery killer for me, but when I'm not roaming I see results like this.
