got 16 hours of moderate (normal) usage out of it until i finally got down to ~10% at 4pm.
popped in a new battery at 4pm and have dropped to 94% in the last 2.5 hours.
just fantastic, at least, compared to where I started with this thing a month ago.
hope everyone is having similar results.
I'm having better results running stock..

i was getting 7 hours, at most, doing the same thing i'm doing now on stock. glad your's is working out better.
do you only use your phone to make and receive calls?
battery life
somone post a damn link to a video of the process u guys are using to get good battery life
The process is to get rid of whatever is using your cpu cycles while your phone is inactive.
Yeh damage control I now get 22 hours if awake time
B efore id get 18 hours of uptime.
Dc is the best I have tested then all. I get 34 wakeups in powertop. Do that test on any other rom you ll get 2 to 3 times that
I clocked 32 hours with moderate use. And I am using an app killer... but I just watched for apps that were CPU hogs and found replacements for them. There aren't too many that affect it so much to trade them out, but you might be surprised by your findings

No way I'm beating thee crap out of it. Dc limits higher cpu speeds with dconfig so if you have that option checked its slower but who cares I don't notice it saves batery like crazy. I'm on speaker phone conference calls all day. Bluetooth/gps on. Exchange sync as items arrive. Its crazy good I'm using syspannel monitoring ilk posy screenshoys, tomorrow.
L I ikesais, powertop gives me 30-40 wakeups. Some roms,are in the hundreds or thousands, but the proof will be the screenshoys tomortow, or try it yourself

haha, great name for it. i'm having better results too doing the charging circle jerk. 20+ hours with moderate to heavy usage
My battery life has been great since the 1.4x update... As an FYI the facebook syncing from 1.3x caused SERIOUS battery drain if you had it linked to a facebook account and had the HTC people widget on your home screen. I used 2 gigs a week while having the phone on wifi at home most of the time due to this bug!
So, at what point do I just throw in the towel and ask for a replacement battery from Sprint?
I've done the "battery circle jerk" twice, now, with no improvement. In fact, this morning, after completing my third jerk (battery jerk - get your minds out of the gutter), my battery percentage fell to 95% after 10 minutes of almost no use. Either this battery is bad, or the EVO has some serious issues with topping-off a charge.
^I have the same problem.
Losing thee first ten percent q quickly is very normal with this phone.once it his 85% it'll start to even out. Personally I've notice charging with the wall charger seems trio make this problem a little better

I fixed my gps early this morning and then set it up with a full charge to do a battery calibration. I turned 4G on to help it drain. I also used it to read xda for about 30 minutes earlier this morning (not sure why the battery stats don't seem to show everything that has been running). Here's where I'm at 8 hours later. I would say the battery life is pretty freaking great! Can't wait for some UV'ing once we get source.
Note: I have Overclock widget set to 1000/200 screen on and 400/200 screen off.

i somewhat second this i have left it unplugged all last night and i am at like 80-90 percent full with some what use..
I am still using juice defender, but my phone as been off the charger for almost 12 hours and I am probably around 75% battery left. I will be testing out turning off JuiceDefender tomorrow, but for now it looks amazing.
CRAPPPP
it some actually deads faster than 2.1
I've been having pretty fantastic battery life. So far the phone has been unplugged for 6 hours, I've been texting on and off all day, and played angry birds for about an hour. I'm sitting at 75%. Probably not fantastic but not bad.
I've noticed an improvement, but as to how much, I'm not sure. Maybe 20 to 40 percent better.

excellent battery life
61 percent with some youtube , texting surfing the web angry birds and 4g on(sleep mode for 4g works really well) and apperently my gps was on all day. Its been 7 hours and 32 minutes ..I would normally be at like 35 percent
I have definitely noticed an improvement. It seems as good as baked ultimate and that says a lot.

I am getting battery life like it's a completely different phone.
I was always rooted but with stock roms and kernels and on 2.1 my battery life was frighteningly bad. I have been on for well over 8 hours and using my phone off and on all day checking out froyo features and the battery indicator is showing still nearly full battery life. On 2.1 I would have had to pop it on the charger at around 2 pm today or earlier.
* I am going to be making a thread about LEGIT improvements that froyo gives us with this phone. There are a ton of piss and moan threads, but froyo adds a ton of features (several i'm sure I don't know about) and MUCH BETTER battery life. *
omg this new update made my battery life so much better! it just died now !

I'm amazed at how much people use their phones sometimes... over 400 texts in a day? At that rate, you'd use more texts in a few days than I do in a month lol.
Impressive battery life, especially considering the amount of usage. When I've had relatively heavy use, I've managed to get the phone below 10% with ~19 hours since last charge. Pretty sure I didn't have that much actual usage though.
I miss the chance i get no update although i was registered. The update sounds good. How about wifi reception?
EDIT: I got update without signing up.
I'm on a bell atrix and I'm experiencing the same results from freezing and de bluring. I previously had about 12 hours of usage. Now I'm around 17 hours and that still was at 20%. That means when the update eventually rolls out it'll be even better. Now thats what I'm talking about

i too am amazed of the battery life after sbf'ing my phone and freezing allot of blur i did not use. i played with my phone all day yesterday, it was at 50% at 7pm. AMAZED..
love it..
Has it been confirmed when/if Bell Atrix users will be getting update? Thanks
I'm having the reverse problem. I probably get about 10 hours of use before my phone dies. I lose about 10% per hour with just playing music. Maybe my battery is screwed up.
I wish I could get the great battery life some of you report. I switched to battery saver and found the app "out of milk" was using between 56-71% cpu when completely off. Added that app to the auto end list in the factory task manager. Not sure what else I can do to improve battery life. Never gotten over 2 hours of display time and usually can't get that much.
Hey can someone please tell me in which rom the battery lasts longer???

my battery conservation method is simple:
- Turn on wifi and leave it on
- Set the phone to GSM only.
This almost doubled my battery life using stock HTC gingerbread.

Why would turning on wifi improve battery life?
The idle time on Unity is very good. I'm somewhere around day 2-3/4and just now getting to 50%
However when you're using it the battery tends to die pretty quick.
Pyromod! its amazing, I get about two days battery life.
I never worry anymore, If i'm going out of the house around 5 PM with 20 percent battery life, I'm good for the rest of the night and morning.

That's how it is. The firmware interacts with the battery in a way that any % over 90% is considered a full charge, so sometimes this comes away with the phone sitting at 100% for a long time (up to like 2 hours for me if I don't use the phone much), then draining normally. It doesn't drain fast, it just drains fast compared to the battery sitting at 100%.

Not true. CM6 had a drain rate of 3%/h on idle with no connections and me popping it on once or twice an hour to get a text.
Cm7 was around the same. All stock clock with downclock with the screen off to around 500mhz.
Unity's idle rate is only about 1%/3-4 hours. It's insane.

No, I mean you clearly are going to drain fast when using a phone compared to idle.
And any ROM with a proper kernel can be undervolted / underclocked with apps to disable data in order to drain less battery in idle.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not, but the phones and ROMs I've seen all exhibit this behaviour. The OS will report the battery at 100% for a long time, as if the battery has more capacity than the OS knows about. A more accurate estimate would be to wait until you're at 99%, and then see how fast the meter drops. Better yet would be to use something like Current Widget or Battery Monitor Widget to record real-time current draw, then calculate how much energy has been consumed.
I wish there was a way to calibrate what "100%" actually means, but I don't think that is possible, since it is a hardware limitation.
Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed high battery drain on LMY48M?
Since the update my battery doesn't seem to be lasting the day if I have mobile data on and I use it occasionally. Basically unplug at 7:30am and by 3pm I need to start charging it. There's no obvious process draining it.
I did replace the battery 5 weeks ago and was working fine. Well into 20+ hours with use. Then not long after the update I noticed this issue.
Any thoughts on what could do?
Edit: Should have used the search (noob mistake I know) it's obviously an issue most are seeing on this build.
Are there any recommendations on Kernels to switch to, seraphore (sic) I've seen mentioned.
I'm always wary of updates in case something detrimental happens, but I recently updated to 48M and have seen no adverse effects. Phone on since 6:30 and still at 60%. Definitely no battery drain here.
