I really want to get a evo but I'm worried about the battery life. I do 2 things on a smartphone:
-Listen to music
-browse the web
I do this non stop until the battery runs out. Can someone tell me what battery life/ screen time you get when doing this.

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.
bro i thought the same thing cause u cant remove the battery.. but let me tell u i get great battery life out this phone... i had the og evo and the evo 3d.. and now evo lte.. this phone kicks major a$$!!!!!!

I use mine heavily for many graphics and radio intensive applications, and routinely get 14 or more hours on a charge. GPS is the one thing that will drop me below that. My brother has a galaxy s3 and gets much less.

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.

Hey guys. I know this is going to appear an elementary issue but I can't seem to figure it out. I work for Sprint I know all about battery life and what kills it and how to make it last. My 3d is draining about 20 percent per hour! I have swapped batteries, tested my batteries, wiped my device mutiple times and flashed different roms and kernels. I can't seem to figure out why my battery life has become so bad. My wifes 3d lasts about 16+ hours with moderate use and I get nowhere near that. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

you can try wiping battery stats. if you have been flashing roms that can sometimes cause bad battery life. also the standard making sure radios you arent using are turned off and what not. but i'm sure you already know that. most recoveries have an option built in to wipe battery stats or you can use an app called batterycalibration. pretty straight forward app. hope that helps.

The radio version shouldn't effect battery life that much, could be from a bad signal, the phone constantly searching for signal kills the battery quick, and when you say her phone lasts 16 hours with moderate use.... That doesn't tell us too much,
Screen on time is where the valuable information comes from....
Do everything you can to maximize battery life... Turn on and off the certain radios as you need them etc.
And do a battery stat wipe, as this is calibrating the phone to the battery, not the battery to the phone... Flashing kernals and roms could Bork battery stats very easily... And flashing to a different one wouldn't necessarily fix the problem... Hope you get it worked out,
Get rid of auto brightness too, get your captivate buttons to a lower brightness they eat the battery up too...

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?

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).

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense

Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.

This guy used all the roms he could get his hands on, and all of them, according to him, had bad battery life.
He doesn't understand his amaze or his battery is faulty, and blames the Rom every time he has bad battery life. He needs to get an iphone or Windows Phone because I doubt he understands Android.

Then you need to get a new battery because you clearly have a faulty one. You are the only person on here with a 1 hour battery while everyone else gets 24 on light use.
For what it's worth, this phone seems to eat batteries. I've been through 3, and its not even my daily driver anymore. The processor gets extremely warm, and that in turn gets the battery warmed up too. You can find batteries fairly cheap on Amazon but be careful about which ones you buy.

Yeah, you should expect battery life on par with a first generation LTE device. If you're going to play on it a lot I would advise a second battery and a charger to keep you going. That's what I had to do when it was my daily. A second battery went with me wherever I was going, no questions asked.

I think it comes down to expectation. I was able to play Inotia 4 for about 6-8 hours in airplane mode while flying.
However, in my home area the signal strength is weak. If I have 4G on, I lose about half of my battery power in about an hour.
(The battery is about 1 year old by now.) I bought a new Anker battery from Amazon. Reportedly it works well with the Amaze.
I'll have to test it out. Though I think in my area the battery life is not going to be too great due to weak signal...
It is ironically much better when I'm traveling.
install greenify from playstore (ensure you have supersu and root first) and you will be fine. my year old dead battery became alive again. also you can use anker battery, combined with greenify the phone can last day and half or more.
