this phone should not have ever been for sale with a battery that only lasts half a day. Now I have to spend more money on a extended battery, door , and holster. what a piece of garbage.

It is all in your settings. Shorten your Back light to 1 Minute or less. Any apps that run constantly will drain your battery. I hope this helps you

I am using the 1750mah battery. I am a lite to moderate user: a few calls, some text messaging, checking facebook a few times a day, etc.
I have found success with a free app in the Market Place called "Battery Booster." I set it to turn off WiFi whenever the phone goes to sleep. I am getting about 2-1/2 to 3 days of user out of a single charge with this battery.
I found that after the 2.2 upgrade, WiFi seemed to consume an enormous amount of memory. At the time, I was using the 3500mah extended battery which was giving me about 6 days use between charges. After 2.2, the battery was 60% depleted after 24 hours.
You might give the "Battery Booster" app a go. It works for me.

i use the stock (1300) battery and took the same steps that demo mentioned (except that i believ i actually leave gps on). i get a full day of awake time and about 2.5 hours of "up" time, which means i can actually be using it (calls, text, browsing, games, etc) for 2.5 hours during the day and still get through a full day on one charge. on days that i use it heavily, then yes, i wont get through the day. but for me, it's pretty rare to actually use it for more than 2-3 hours. (my email only pulls every 15 minutes, the screen is set at about 30% brightness and is still amazing, the screen times out after 15 seconds, turn of synch for news, weather, and stocks....i just tap update when i check my weather widget, i talk to text whenever i can to avoid the "vibrating" typing or you can just disable that all together.....vibrating kills batteries, especially if you type a lot, etc, etc))

AZSALUKI, in your last sentences are you talking about what's called a haptic feedback when pressing all 4 buttons on the bottom or when typing a text messege? I love this feature. I didn't know it causes a lot of battery drainage...

Where did you get that battery? Is it an HTC battery? Thanks.

Ihave had the same problem. After the 2.2 update Iwas only getting 7-8 hrs of battery life and now takes 4 hrs to charge phone, I turn off GPS, WI FI and 3g when not in use. i also manually update emails. I now get 2 days out of battery.
