I recently upgraded from the Desire HD, and was hoping that the new phone would last longer due to having a larger battery (even though the sensation is dual core I was hoping for a more efficient CPU).
The Desire HD would last just over a day on a charge with wifi and sync all on and the display at around 50%.
I charged the Sensation overnight and woke up a few hours ago. I have sent 2 text messages. Sync is on, so is wifi just like before. In 2 hours and 40 minutes the battery is already down to 40%.
How is the battery life so horrible? Even though sync is on, the sync is every 4-8 hours or so depending on the application. I only have email and weather syncing.
The display has been on around 5 minutes today, but looking in the battery usage it has contributed to 30% of the battery loss apparently. What gives here?
My dad has a similar problem with his regular desire, and after complaining to HTC has been given 5 different batteries. I would rather not have to carry around multiple batteries with me all the time just in case...
