Asking for Opinions

I'm buying my dad an evo and I have a few questions
1)Will its battery last from 6am to 12pm with heavy calling and virtually no txts and internet use?
2) what would be good under volt settings for this phone?
thx

1. Yes. Six hours is fine even with really heavy usage (though every phone is different and I'm sure somebody has some horror story to refute me). Just tell him how to turn the radios off that he's not using. For me, I never use Bluetooth, rarely use WiFi, and when I do, they can be toggled on. Don't turn on 4G if you're not in a 4G area, that radio kills the battery. Just don't leave them on if you're not using them, let them be more "on demand". Rooting and getting a tweaked ROM/kernel will also help. I suggest VaelPak 3.2 with Netarchy, or better yet, Vaelpak GB with SavagedZen. See my sig for a link if you're interested.
2. Most people are good with -75mV, some can go higher (100 to 125 in one or two cases) but -75 seems to be the consensus. In addition, you can set different min/max CPU speeds (this is a native option in the latest VP GB beta). That way, the CPU will scale its speed based on usage. Most people go somewhere around 245mHz min to 998mHz max, or you can overclock a bit, or you can underclock so the max is only in the 500-600s. It actually doesn't make a noticeable difference in performance for some people, unless you're gaming and then you can bump it up again anyway.
LOTS of stuff to play around with to get the best battery vs. performance balance.

My dads not the type to return a thing especially if I give it to him.
Even if it hassles him like crazy he'll treasure the phone.
I'm getting him this phone because I want to make his life easier so the 30 day return thing won't really work for me.

So how many hours it talk time and stand by time?
He might need an iPhone or a BB.

18 HOURS is asking a lot from a smart phone. It's not possible with the batt tech atm.
If the talk time is low then maybe.

No.
And as far as the phone lasting from 6 A.M. to 12 P.M. .... I believe it has about 6 hours of talk time (continuous). Take that for what it is, and given his situation. Can he not utilize a charger? Situation won't allow? As said, there are things that can be done to help 'manage' battery life, but that isn't going to yield some insane results. If he doesn't need data he could disable data, keep voice open, and see how that goes. I couldn't see that necessarily doubling the talk time. As mentioned, also, you can trial it for 30 days.
edit: slow on the draw
Maybe the Evo isn't right for him. Especially if you can't wrestle it from his old man grip for a return. Could a BB do?

He doesn't like bb because of the small buttons
I think I might just buy him an extra battery car charger and then under volt it od

6am to 12pm is 6 hours. You mistyped bro. Had it been 6am to 12am then it would be 18 hours.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I'd you are buying new. Buy the EVO 3D. Battery life should be much better than the EVO 4G
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Op mistyped. Either way, I would just wait a week for the 3d.

Evolution 3d probably wont have better battery life. You should buy him extra batteries with an external charger. He'll be fine with about 6..
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

Lol yeah 6 am to 12pm is 6 hours.. 12pm would noon, so according to all the clocks I've ever looked at, it would be 6 hours. And yeah wait for the 3D. Probably same battery but might as well get a newer model.

Battery life?

Hey guys a friend of mine got this phone about 3 weeks ago and is having some serious battery drain. Like from fully charged to the red in about 3 hours with minimal use. I told her to take it back and get another one. What I would like to know is if this is normal for this phone or just luck of the draw and got a defect. Thanks and apologize if this was already posted or is in the wrong place.

You can go under settings>about phone>battery>what's using battery and see what the highest percentage of use is. That may narrow it down to an app or android process causing the drain. Is the phone rooted or unrooted?

Unrooted completely stock and the screen eats about 97%of the battery. I dropped the brightness to its lowest level disabled wifi and everything else I could think of but the battery life really had no improvement

my usage will be for calling, texting, emails , news , games, presentations and other basic stuff like that...im going for the note coz i LOVE BIG SCREENS...im almost six feet tall and have really big hands...

It is an amazing phone, I've had it for 2 weeks, different roms have different battery lives, but the stock one is still very good by default.
So, go for it and come tell us about it!

Before I got my Note I was juggling between the Note and a S2 but went for the Note and I'm so happy that I chose the Note over the S2.
Go for Note. Or if you think screen is a bit big then S3 is to be released soon. That would be my next choice.

My reception was terrible, and kept having 1-2 bars, skipping between h+ and g. drained ~50% in ~7 hours with moderate usage (checking messages every 10 minutes or so, couple phone calls, about 30 minutes of video and about an hour worth of trying to browse the net with the messed up reception).

What you say is true , no doubt . But we need to be careful while buying one. There are many fakes out there in the market .
So i just feel is it worth the risk to damage our phones for a little more money?
