ICS or GB doesn't matter...
I have a CDMA Evo since that will make a difference.
I'm currently lucky to get 3.5hours screen on in a typical day, that's with underclocking.
No rogue apps running around stealing datas. Just your typical screen sucking down the juice.
I have found underclocking and limiting CPU freq to 810 helped a lot.
But only 3 hours screen on is ridiculous. I need help. Serious help.
I keep screen on minimum brightness all the time too...
3.5 hours of screen on time is great for this phone with stock battery.

Wow. I had no idea!
Don't forget turning your brightness all the way down helps.

Yeah I roll with lowest brightness.
I'm not actually getting 3.5h anymore. 2-2.5 if I'm lucky. I think I had my phone undervolted too far.
Only 3.5 hours! I easily get 5 hours of constant Facebook and YouTube.

Not to sound mean about it, but there's no way with stock battery unless you're in airplane mode or some other shenanigans. Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm on airplane mod with Wi-Fi on and 50% brightness and my clock is at 1Ghz instead of 1.2Ghz

What on earth is draining my battery so bad? On 4 hour charge w/ screen on for a little over 1 hour and i got 47% battery left...display is 77% drain. Is there an app thats draining my batt like mad? I got 4g off, wifi off, gps off, and bluetooth off...and i've been in a strong Sprint area the whole time. What's the deal?

evo3d comes with a task manager, check whats on and kill it. i do it often
Try watchdog.. it will notify you if an app is above threshold.

Try using OS monitor from the market. Go through the settings, change the sorting method to "load" and watch for BS running that shouldn't be.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

The only time I had really bad battery life was with the overclock kernal. I ghetto adb'd it to my phone around 12est and by 6pm est it was dead not low battery but completly dead. I poped the battery out reverted to stock temp rooted it without overclock now im back to the 12 hours heavy use 2 days with min usage.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

What's the average battery life for everyone

About 7 hours for me. I'm planning to buy an extended battery . I always have to check my Facebook and twitter every hour and send about 400 texts a day and run Google music. In pretty sure if I was using my sister's evo it would only last me 5 hours lol.

So it is better then the evo?
Anybody know about vs the photon
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Yes it better than the Evo not by much but I'm sure that the Devs will cook some kernals up for the 3d to improve battery life a bit more. I'm not sure about the photon, but I know that the photon has a slightly smaller battery, 1500mah I believe. But it's not size that matters, it's how you use it.
On my ROM, I get about 19 hours of moderate usage.

If you're not worried about how big your phone is just get a seidio super extended battery. I got the biggest one they make for the Evo 3D, 4000mHa, and it lasts about two days and I'm a pretty heavy user. Even if you are a heavy multimedia user the 4000mHa will last you all day no problem.

Mine shows 12hrs up time with 3.5hrs awake time and still has 60% battery left on stock ROM. I guess I would call it light to moderate use. I should be within that range by the end of the night.

Yes, but it's also dependent how you personally use your phone, average battery use for me ranges from 4 hrs with heavy use, 8 -10 hours under normal daily use or 14-18 with very little useage, is your evo gsm?

Yeah man i got the evo 3d GSM mine cant last 1-2 hours with heavy use.. i dont think i use my phone a whole lot i got Facebook , twitter , Google,weather,whatsapp syncing for 1 hour. and i keep my brightness quite low and i overclocked it to 1.5 ghz (1512 mhz to be exact) what would you recommend ? thanks for the reply
Should last 4 hrs with heavy use, have you tried a new battery, also stop oc your cpu, that alone will drain your battery, suggest trying anryl kernel and see if your battery last longer

I really want to get a evo but I'm worried about the battery life. I do 2 things on a smartphone:

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.
