Geez guys, am I speaking martian here? Not using or touching the phone is just that, not using or touching the phone. Or did the English language change in the last hour? So you're saying my "not using or touching the phone" somehow reduced my battery in the last few days to 30%-40%? That's...

Where did you get 89%?

Man, all you guys are missing the point. Ugh. My battery went from a pretty consistent 30%-40% by this time of the day to a staggeringly better 80% simply by switching off wifi. That's the point fellas. It's not to critique my usage patterns but to find ways to improve your battery life. Yeesh.

Hmm. By regular use, I don't quite think it means 'didn't touch'. I had my daily routine on the throne in the morning (yeah, I know) meaning a 15 minute session with the internet. Read 20 emails. Checking the game right now (Lakers!!!). Sporatic internet browser usage throughout the day...

Okay. I just did an extensive test at home. My router is normally on the bottom floor next to my desk. I turned off my cellular data connection (wifi only) and did some tests in the garage and upper floor, both about 30 feet away between two walls. I get the same results I get at work, which...

Weird. I've had my Evo since Monday. I use it at work all the time, which is an environment where my office is 50 feet from the router separated by a number of stainless steel walls. To test the effectiveness of the wifi, I've disabled all data connections through Sprint (wifi only) and I get...

dang. i work in an environment where my office is a good 50 feet from the router with a few stainless steel walls between it and my stock evo. i get 2 bars and a solid wifi stream going. are you guys maybe loading 3rd party programs that are interfering with the wifi? maybe a case that you're...
