Im going to venture an educated guess here that 8%-10% of battery loss per hour is gong to be the norm with light usage. 10%-15% with moderate usage per hour and 20%+ per hour for heavy usage.

I have found on OTHER HTC devices a hard reset is a very good idea when a significan software upgrade comes out.
A good example is my HTC Hero went from 1.5 to 2.1 it ran slow and had battery problems for the first 2 days. I did a hard reset and the battery life doubled and the device overall performed better.
Also on a few WM devices i have had the same was need. I would perform an upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1, or with the Mogul the RevO to RevA upgrade. I had to do a hard reset and that fixed any problems.
My EVO came off the charger at 7am, and its at 66% battery at about 2:30pm.
Thats with 2 phone calls less then 10 minutes each, 3 Market APP downloads, and about 15 -25 text messages send and recieved.
4G OFF, WIFI OFF, GPS ON,
Overall i am happy..

So I'm assuming a battery pull is just as it sounds, pull the battery out and replace and restart?

I don't mean to sound like a dumb a$$, but what is a battery pull? Is it simply just taking it out of the phone and putting it back in? If there is any chance it helps the battery life of the Evo, I wanna try it.
Yes, that's about right....i'm currently down to 80% and only sent to text messages since my post at 245
My battery life already seems pretty good, but I want to get it the best I can. I've had it on about 5.5 hours and it's gone down about 25%. Maybe I lucked out with a good battery?
love it. and you?
i'm still trying to figure out all its little tricks and idiosyncrasies but it's a keeper.
No. There aren't any "lucky batteries" out there.
1. It takes several days of usage for Li-Ion batteries to really start to perform like they are supposed to. Call it "conditioning" or whatever...it's true. These batteries sat in a box for the last couple months. Give them a solid week or more for them to really stretch their legs.
2. It all depends on your usage patterns.
Please google, or search this forum.
You likely have many of the "power-draining" features still enabled.

Why would I search the forum when this thread is about battery life? But thanks for the thread

My phone has been sitting idle for an hour and according to power manager it hasn't dropped a single percent since I last picked it up. Reviewers were reporting it dropping like 15% in several minutes while idle. I think the reviewers who reviewed this phone should have taken some more time to check out the battery. I'm sick of seeing bad talk on this phone due to battery issues when it doesn't seem to be an issue...at least for me.
A hard reset is going to bring your phone to the same state it was when you first acquired it. It's a matter of time before you start seeing similar drains as you had before the hard reset. It's a matter of what apps you downloaded and are continually running in the background. Try it and see.
Seems pointless to me. Just get a Advanced Task Manager and auto-kill applications you don't use regularly and are automatically started by the OS (Sprint Navigation, Stocks, etc.) I've been getting more than a day's worth with pretty heavy use.
Hope this helps.

You would think, but this is not the case. I reinstalled all apps, changed all settings back, wallpaper, everything (wrote everything down) within 10 minutes of the factory reset. The only thing i didnt re-enable was Facebook for HTC Sense and stuck with Facebook for Android (dont setup a facebook account while doing initial setup) since it was shown to cause MAJOR battery issues on the incredible.
My battery life is now night and day and im not running a task killer (other than task os) and everything is EXACTLY the same as before the reset (minus FB for HTC). I'm on track to make it to around midnight with around 20% left under very heavy usage. If I babied it a LITTLE i could EASILY get 2 work days out of 1 charge, for comparison sake, my phone died on me at work yesterday around 4 pm when it was idle over half the day (in meetings) before I did the reset last night. I work in an area with HORRIBLE sprint coverage and that does not help one bit (brought my blackberry tour to 25-30% daily until i bought a new charger for the desk and BB has amazing battery life), at home I expect to get great battery life out of this phone now!

Soon as I get home I plan on trying this to see how much my.battery will improve.
With turning off location services I didn't need a second recharge today. I'm around 20% n have gotten about 8-9 hrs so far. Didn't use it as heavily as yesterday maybe about 60% of use, bht hopefully the hard reset will help
