Battery Life?

Is battery life a problem with this phone using basic use?

That really depends on your definitions of "problem" and "basic use". The EVO is such a versatile device, much more than a mere phone, that it invites you to use it for a large variety of tasks. The more you use the EVO, of course, the shorter the battery life. If you are determined to use the EVO primarily as a phone, you can easily disable wi-fi, blue tooth, GPS, and 4G radios and extend the battery life to last through the day. Realistically the EVO needs to be charged every night to be ready for the next day's use.

As you come to rely upon the EVO more and more for directions, web browsing, short videos, or playing games, the power consumption increases accordingly. This thread contains many hints for making the EVO's battery power last longer: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/18547-new-evo-battery-life-sticky-please-contribute.html

Go, read the reviews... The biggest adjustment had been the screen brightness. This app , set to advance mode and adjust the brightness to auto adjust (it's dark most of the time, indoors the brightness level gets a drastic adjustment) has allowed me to not worry about battery life. Right now it's been off charger 13 hours with 2 hrs 37 min screen (display) on time and battery is at 61%. Last night before bed it was at 37% with 3 hours plus of display time and off charger time was 19 hrs 30 min . Love this app.
