Question: How is the battery working out for you?
It lasts all day/most of the day. I use it as much as I want to and haven't been stranded with a dead phone yet. - 94 (19.9%)
It lasts till the evening. With regular surfing, emailing, photographing, etc, I can last until at least after work hours. - 168 (35.5%)
I find that its dead/nearly dead by lunch time, so I have to keep a cable with me @ work to supplement my overnight charge. - 159 (33.6%)
It's gone mid morning, lasting a few hours at most. - 36 (7.6%)
Other... Leave comments below! - 16 (3.4%)

Hey guys! As we get our hands on these devices, I'd love to see what the consensus is about the battery life.

I tried to make the polling options fit most opinions without actually asking about time/hours...

How is our little EVO faring out there in the real world?!

Did you add a task killer?  It sounds like your 4g is on...

Everything is off, including GPS.

It's been two hours, and it's almost dead.

(I DID have live wallpaper, friendstream, and some other things going. Which I changed. Hopefully changing that makes it better)

Im at work right now ive been using my phone all day with just 3g on and its still at like 70%. Im very happy with the battery performance on 3g. 4g signal seems to be worse than i thought so I haven't been using it, but i think that drains it faster.

I played with it til it died from the "out of the box" charge.  I then charged it to 99% and played with it off and on for about 5 hours and it died!!  I didn't even use it the whole 5 hours!  It's on the charger again for its second full charge today!  Man I hope this battery life gets better soon....I've done all I can think of to reduce power consumption!!!

ive been hearing very good reports about battery life. And im very happy for Sprint because it was about time this happened.

Since ive had Sprint for 5 years, their service has been amazing. Ive never had a customer service problem and when a phone doesnt work, they replace it immediately

String, why do you think some folks are getting great battery life and others like your self are not? Do you think the phones are set up different, different tasks running/configuration of the OS, version...?

Mine is rediculous...I had a full charge at about 3:30-4:00, and playing with it non-stop.  I can't kill this darn battery!!  In fact I'm trying everything I can now...  I turned on Pandora about an hour ago.  I also just turned on 4g, gps, and bluetooth, plus constant playing with the screens.  Still at 18% battery.  She's finally moving a bit since I turned on the 4G etc.

The real test for me will be running pandora straight with a full charge.  My guess is 5 hours easy.  That's my test for tomorrow. 

PS- If you have not figured it out, I'm trying to kill the battery, then full charge overnight.

So far no complaints on the battery.  My biggest and only complaint is the small button on the top to get the phone out of sleep mode.

WOW! I have read through all of these replies and I just dont get it. I charged mine fully with it off out of the box to full charge and mine lasted a good 8-9hrs. Believe me when I say I have been texting, downloading, making wallpapers, adding contacts,  and talking all day since my initial charge which only took about 1 1/2 hrs.
However, I  have turned off all widgets/apps that I'm not using at that particular time.

So, I have uninstalled my app killer and I only lost about 1 1/2 hrs battery life. So, it makes me wonder if some of you guys ended with deffective battery's. Even though I'm getting decent battery life I have ordered an 1800mah battery for it.

Oh...let me just say that I'm gonna need to buy the extended battery.


I expected this, though, and I always have means of charging so it isnt an issue anywhere I go.

But I will still buy the extended battery.
