hi guys, there are alot of controversial issues regarding battery life. so i did some experiments.
Last night i did a hard reset on my evo because i wanted to compare the performance of Sense vs Launcher Pro. I also wanted to see how much battery is actually being used. So the first thing i did was reinstall my basic applications that i had before Appbrain, K-9 mail etc...then i proceeded on changing my settings: turning off Bluetooth, GPS, 4G, and Wifi. I also turned off always on data but left mobile network and background data ON.
some apps that i had running were appbrain, HTC sense, Handcent SMS, k9 and ATK, Lookout, settings and spare parts.
I started the test on 12:34 pm.
after an hour, my battery was still at 100%
after 3 hours, 97%
and now after 6.5 hours i still have 88%. of course i had a few emails got some text messages and got a phone call.
so yea pretty good. and probably could save more if i used wifi instead of 3g and even more if background data was off
