I ditched the widget as will. It's so much easier using the phone without worrying. I also get around 10 hours with moderate usage.

Well.... I'm planning on getting 24 hours today...
Not using ATK.
I am using GPS and Wi-fi.
I sync Gmail.
7% battery loss in 2 hours 15 minutes... not bad.

Ok. Well it looks like you solved my issue. I know you stated to ignore the battery level, but I've been using my phone a lot since my last report. I am down to 40% with moderate to heavy use and been on almost 5hrs. I am confident I could get another 3hrs hours out of it, at least. Maybe a little less. I think this I can deal with. I know on Tuesday I didn't get 5hrs with minimal use. I'll keep going for a little longer to see how much more I can drain the battery. Again Thanks for all your help and recommendations.
I am not using wifi or gps. 5hrs of heavy to moderate use and down to 40%. I can deal with that because I am trying to drain the battery. I won't use it like this normally. I was more concerned with the last few days where I would use my phone with minimal use and only get 5hrs.
No problem... keep in mind the last 15% is even harder to kill.. lol. Good luck.
I use my phone heavy! I'm currently testing heavy Qik usage and uploading videos to facebook and youtube.

Yeah I can deal with this. Tomorrow I will try leaving my GPS on to see what happens. I'll remember to turn on wifi when I am h ome too. Didn't realize that saves the battery over the 3G.

I get a good 15/16 hours of use per charge on my EVO.
Things that I did that might help.
-Turn your screen brightness down to 25%
-Undo auto sync on News, Stock, etc. (The only thing that auto syncs is weather, twitter and google.)
-I dont have a facebook app running and I'm not synced to it either for contacts/etc. My main source of contacts for syncing is Google.
-I always have GPS running. When in my apartment I turn on Wifi. When I leave I turn it off.
That's about it. I get about 16 hours on this.

Yeah my screen is turned down a lot. How do you turn off the sync for each of the news, stock etc. I thought you could just undo all syncs or leave them all on.

No you can turn off each individual one. I think this saves the battery big time...
Go To Settings>Accounts & Sync
Scroll down and you can see individual programs with the green dot lit up on the right. Click that dot so it goes grey. Like I said, the only ones I leave running for auto sync is Gmail, Twitter and Weather.

1. who are you talking to?
2. what do you think fixed your "problem"? what was the solution?
Yourself and TheOpusFuller. I followed your steps. I had GTalk running 24/7 without knowing. I shut down that and seems to be helping. I still won't get the amount of time that some have reported, but again I can deal with 5-8hrs of heavy use. Since today I was trying to drain the battery. So again I appreciate your insight.
Got it. Thanks alot! I was able to get my news and stocks off sync. ?That should help.
don't forget to go into the Sprint Zone App and clear out and uncheck everything and set update frequency to "only at startup".
