Mine will last the day (HTC Wildfire), just general using it throughout the day i.e phoning/messaging sometimes bluetooth in the car. Seems to be alright for me. But thankfully upgrade time soon will be moving away from HTC.

Yeah it's not a lot to due to with Beats. Let's be frank, the phones have more power than most PCs and people expect them to last days and days. Would a laptop last as long, I doubt it.

My sensation xe lasts from 6-3ish, that's with a fair bit of internet usage though, goes on charge over night, and usually in the afternoon if i can remember.
If I don't remember i'll turn most things off and it'll last the evening too

I'm getting about a day out of my OneX so far, that's with pretty heavy usage too - email sync every 10 mins and a few calls. My Desire lasted about the same, maybe more and never deteriorated in 2 years.

This is my 3rd sensation with battery problems, kept killing it after a full charge, would get about 20 mins if I'm lucky . Got a new one on Monday and noticed it had a blob in the middle of screen, rang them up told them, getting replaced on Tue. Went to text my lass, pressed the screen were the blob was, thumb cracked the screen, bits of glass in my thumb!
Rang back to complain , logged, got new phone next day. Fingers crossed its ok so far!

GPS and Wifi RAPES battery life. Normally they are off but if I'm at the missus (where I only get GRPS signal) I'll switch it on so I can actually receive emails on time, not 15 minutes syncing later

my HTC desire HD had a really shite battery at first, the phone ran like crap too. Picked up a cheap higher capacity battery off the web for about £10 all in and the difference was night and day. Ran alot better and lasted alot longer. Job done.
I also found the advanced task manager worked well, set the auto kill to crazy and a high frequency helped matters too.

Finding the app killer on my OneX a bit shit, seems to have to think about it for a few seconds or sometimes won't do it at all. There's also a task manager as standard now, disabled a few things but they still show up as being in use = cunt.

Where from? I've looked into it but wasn't sure which to get, don't want some cheap chinese shit melting on me or something!
