That's what I used to do with my Palm Pre. My wife is definitely enjoying her new EVO though.
She's impressed with the battery life especially when her OG EVO would die after 6 hours.

If your cdma I would hold out for the LTE phones . If not the 3D is a great phone. Battery life is good on custom roms.

All depends on a lot of factors. What type of phone (gsm or cdma), what rom you are on, how often you use the phone, if you use 3g or wifi, how much data syncing you use. Until you tell us that, we can't tell you how long your battery will last.

Battery and Speed

Day three on the Rom and speed is no longer an issue. However, I am still having issues with the battery draining quicker than stock. Any recommendations, especially from the folks who are getting 15 hours.

Change the performance settings to battery and see if that helps.

I'm sorry, as this rom is new to me, how do I make this change? Will the phone still be peppy? It took a few days for the phone to settle in, and I would hate to lose the performance.

Well I've never tried it so can't say. However do you have a rouge app maybe? Do you have a lot of Widgets on your home screens? Did you turn off background data,gps,etc?? All these play a major roll in battery life. Did you do a fresh install?

Fresh install. Wiped even everything three times. Only widgets are the clock and Google Music. Of course the phone lists the screen as 70% of the usage.

I'm going on 24 hours with 55 percent remaining.
Some days battery kicks ass, others it drains rather quickly. I'm gonna blame it on network changes.

i would be happy with that battery life. mine is half that and ive tried just about all the roms. Just flashed the newest meanRom to see how that one is.

Another screen shot proving Insanely good battery life

This phone has the battery life locked down probably second best to the DROID razor max

You're on pace for 20 hours according to this.
I broke 60 hours with my OG EVO on CM7, and consistently got 40. That said, I'm still happy with this battery life! I just need one day and I'm happy.

It's a big step for HTC and android
Apparently the scepticsicm on sealed battery backfired
The og evo ALWAYS HAD CRAP BATTEEY LIFE. UNLESS ON A EXTENDED BATTEEY.
I'm not sure what alien programmed your og evo, but I found them all to be junk for battery life and I owned least 15
I still say in my opinion the evo lte has the s3 beat in design looks battery life all of it.
It's a very good phone

My best on my OG evo was 3.5 days (battery 0) of normal (light) use.

Thats not even SBC charging. Notice the quick drop off

I remember seeing some screenshots of insanely good battery life on the og evo then finding out the ones who posted the screenshots had extended batteries lol
This is with just over 3 hours of screen on time. My record is 6 hours of screen on after 16 hours, with about 15% of battery left.
Probably the best I've gotten so far after using it all day.

My battery is nor bad when I use the phone to make calls or sms but when I use it for browsing using google chrome or chatting using whatsapp its become very bad it dropped about 20% / hour when I use it for browsing with the screen setting on automatic. I'm still running stock thhough . Any input on how to make it last longer? If I use the phone just to make calls and sms it can last me more than a day.

What I would do is adjust your brightness manually. I work 3rd shift though, so my brightness is pretty much always @ 15%. The screen is what eats up the most battery, so logically using less backlight will lower that.
When I watch movies over netflix I lose about 15-20% an hour. 5 hours of streaming video is pretty good.
Ow okay, thx ill try that. I thought is the data transfer that eats up the battery as the phone get hot when theres data transfers going.
Anyway I want to try to install the mean Rom as most people says it has a battery saver function that supposedly make the battery life a little bit longer.

Screen on time JB

Anyone know of an app that shows the exact screen on time for jelly bean like how it used to be displayed in previous android versions? I found one a while ago but I can't seem to find it again.

I think gsam battery monitor will give you the screen on times. Or flash one of the aosp Roms and it will be in the settings. Not sure why htc took it out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah I seen that in a couple aosp roms. I always ditch them tho because I don't have great battery life on them and my radios act slower. There was an app that literally replicated the regular screen on time thing.

Awesome, thanks. Both apps served there purpose, was looking for more of that classic look though. What a crock. One particular flash of BlackCM had me geeting four plus hours of screen time. Ever since i switched from that rom that has not been happening at all lol.
