is anyone else bothered that the evo 4g lte doesnt have a removable batter?
i mean.. my past 3 phones ive kept 2-3 spare batteries at all times but i don't want to be restricted to being by a wall constantly..
what about you?
p.s. i just upgraded to the evo 3d so i won't be getting the evo 4g lte for a bit (i love my evo)

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.

My stock battery has been astonishingly good today - 25% in 6 hrs 15 min. Granted I'm on Wi-Fi and it's only been moderate use, but that's pretty darn good. All my sync and notifications are running in the background and GPS is on.
Guess I'll get brave with the CHICHITEC next week? Or see how I do with a heavier use day tomorrow?
I use my 2 anker batteries that I had for my sensation on the amaze and works like a charm...
the only thing that concerns me is that the amaze battery is 3.8v and the sensations anker battery is 3.7v Wonder if that matters or not... so far so good tho...
I have been swapping out phones like mad lately. In the last 6 months I have gone from the OG EVO, to the photon, then the s2, gnex and now EVO.LTE. everyone I rooted. Had the EVO one day, looking for recommendations for a Rom. On my s2 blazer was awesome. Got 24 hrs plus on battery. Gnex couldn't even come close. Anyone have a recommendation for a Rom with great battery life?
Thanks!

A good recommendation would be mean rom. While it might not hav ethe best battery right now I can still get through a full day without charging. The reason i'd go with mean rom is cause I ran it on my evo 3d and it was perfect. It gets a lot of great updates and the support is amazing. It'll soon have the best battery and best features of any rom The link is my sig, enjoy
I am not rooted yet but I know viper was the first Rom out and he supports his Rom so strongly. He is also focused on battery life. You may wanna check that out.

Very nice guys. Thank you. I like the phone a lot. I about 12 hrs yesterday. My first full day with it. I know.once the battery breaks in, it will be a little better. Getting 24+ hours would be great!
I also think sense is a little overboard. It looks nice, but is just too much. Need to thin it down a bit.

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?

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.
