Best thing to do is turn down the display turn off auto brightness to as low as you like which still is bright...
About the only thing I do I get about 19hrs on battery...... Heavy to light use...
I'm only getting about 6 hours. I'm using leedroid rom and also using juice defender ultimate.

Ya, but no calls or data come through... Dont be trollin him.
Looks like your on GSM, so I dont know for you. If you were on CMDA I could give you some great tips and lots of my tweaked settings for MIUI that gives great battery life with amazing smoothness and perfect screen brightness always.
I'll take those tips please

This has given me very good results with all phones I've had:
Get Juice Defender Ultimate from the market and follow the settings from this post:

I assure you you'll see wonders with your battery.
Props to mistermetaphor over at AF for the settings.

What battery saver do you guys use?

Juice defender ultimate
IMO those types of things hurt more often than they help. Just use a ROM and kernel that gets you better battery life.
What do you suggest we use? And can you explain how they hurt more than help?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
they don't really hurt more than help. if you don't use your phone that often. if you are on it alot you won't get any use from it tho. I suggest lowering brightness and underclocking. if you do use it tho it won't affect your calls or sms tho. in case you were wondering. you just have to set it up correctly or you won't like it.
I use JD, but only sometimes...

"Battery savers" and "juice defenders" honestly just cause a lot of wake-lock issues, spawn unnecessary processes, and take up too much RAM.
If you want your battery to last longer and charge faster, you should honestly be running an AOSP+ ROM (such as CM or MIUI), custom UV/OV kernel (like Tiamat or Anthrax), and a CPU governor (SetCPU, CPU Master) with good profiles.
Sense ROMs take up most of your RAM. This is because they have way too many insignificant, hidden processes and services. A lack of excess free RAM causes a huge performance hit.
A good custom kernel will allow your phone to charge very quickly (as opposed to a stock Sense kernel, which takes 3+ hours to charge). This will also allow your battery to last a lot longer.
Do some research on XDA and Google and you'll get a lot more out of your phone.

Well when I tried it twice I would get some days where battery would drain crazy fast from the CPU somehow getting stuck at a high speed. Uninstalling the app fixed the problem on both ROMs I tried it with.
And you must have tried an EARLY alpha build of MIUI, cause the camera works perfect and multitouch works same as Sense

The EVO 3D is a great phone, it's just the camera which limits the developers and the amount of work that they can do, chances are when ICS is released they will kick in to gear and we should see some great rom's, a lot of decent developers have made roms for the EVO 3D but have dropped out due to it's development limitations, hopefully they'll come back once HTC pull their fingers out.
I'm GSM by the way so we won't be getting the EVO LTE, but then again, it's come out when the One X has too so i think it would have been a bit anticlimatic for anyone looking to buy it anyway.
So long as they do release ICS in due course, the EVO 3D should have quite a bit of life left in it, it's a powerful device and does deserve some attention.

I'd probably wait for some real world tests before making that judgement. I'll be getting the EVO 4G LTE regardless... but 24+ hours would be nice.
I would get over 24+ hours on my EVO 3D but damn words with friends sucks up too much juice haha.
Doesn't bother me for 2 personal reasons.
1. I'm sick of this Evo 3D (I'm just done,nothing major)
2. I drive all day so a cigarette lighter charger is with in 2 feet from me all day.
I'm counting the days till the new Evo drops.Just wish I knew exactly when that was.

Not seeing how you're bothered, having JUST upgraded to the 3D. The EVO 4G LTE is a non-factor for you unless you're "that-guy".
Me: Not bothered (yet), I haven't used a huge battery (3200mAh) since the EVO 4G or removed my battery since I figured out the 3 button combo on my 3D.
The battery life better be decent, I need to get 8 hours of decent use & even moreso of it just sitting idle.

The extra ~200 mah over the 3D doesn't seem to be much....I would expect nearly the same battery life as the 3D.
Anyone else having this kind of battery drain?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I'm not sure if that's really that unexpected.
It shows the battery going down, yes, but it also shows the phone was awake and the screen on almost that entire time.
If I played a game on mine, with the screen on the entire time, my battery would go down quickly as well.
Looks like you are streaming music, so yeah, perfectly normal

If that's all you were doing, then you've got some app keeping your phone awake and the screen on.

I still think it's because the screen was on that entire time. Check to see if you have it set to auto brightness.
As far as lte/cdma setting, I have not seen any difference in battery life when leaving lte on.
Yea I had auto brightness on was that the cause of it?

we all know that the battery life is crap on the amaze. It's no surprise. What I've been wondering since is why? why is it such a battery hog. In terms of CPU and ram, it's only slightly higher than the sensation and the sensation has a great battery life. I know the sensation and Amaze are completely different phones and hardware is completely different, but what makes the amaze have such a bad battery life? anyone ever able to figure this out?

Might be the kernel, extra horsepower, less optimizations than the sensation?

It's the display, it uses too much power and heats up too quickly, which uses more energy than it should, that's just imo though.

The display for sure since we're rockin' that qHD, now had it been a Super Amoled - it'll make a big difference in terms of power usage. I've set my display to the lowest (helps out battery drainage most of the time) and i've also downloaded JuiceDefender (works great).

In my experience the battery life on the EVO LTE is great, but it varies more than other phones I've used, based on how I use it. graphics-intensive games and other apps that keep the screen on and run the processor at the same time use it the most. You can do plenty of web browsing provided you keep the screen brightness halfway down, I use the automatic setting and don't notice much battery drain when browsing, but if you turn the brightness to it's highest setting you'll definitely notice more battery drain. I love the 4.7" screen but there's no way a screen that big isn't going to draw a lot of power with the backlight turned up. As for streaming music, that's no problem. I've listened to pandora for hours at a time with the screen off and only seen single-digit drops in battery percentage.

I for one think that the battery life sucks on this phone. But I only can compare to the phone i had before the droid x from verizon, I could go 24 hours on the droid x but on the evo I get around 16 on normal everyday usage. now suppose I came from the evo or evo 3d phones and had a phone with that drained the power off the phone then I would be saying this phones battery rocks.
but with that all being said 16 hours on a smart phone really is not that bad.
