So those that have a Vivid how has the battery life been? HTC has been getting a bad wrap for that.

Its bad not as bad as the Inspire but bad.
RE: Battery Vivid Life
Mine has been absolutely horrid. With moderate use I'm lucky if it lasts 3 hours. To be honest, though, I didn't let it charge completely when I first got it - I was too excited. I'm actually recalibrating it now in hopes of improving it.

Getting great battery life, probabably about the same if not slightly better than I got with my iPhone4. Definaletly the best switch I've made.

I got mine this afternoon. I had an Infuse 4G and traded it in for a Vivid. According to my Battery Monitor Widget after 3 hrs 48 mins (battery was fully charged) I'm at 86%. I am using Juice Defender Ultimate.
Yet another battery life thread...

My battery life is quite a bit better than even the GS2 I had for a short while. I don't even know what the low battery alert looks/sounds like.

The notification light blinks yellow, and a big battery image and a message pop up on the screen when the battery level hits 10%, then again at 5%. It's pretty obvious. Also, the phone shuts down some background functions such as data syncing to conserve battery power.
Full on data streaming of my podcast or Rdio on Hspa drains my battery in 5 hours or so. With sporadic web browsing in there, just listening to cached music and podcast I stretch it past 8 hours. Better then my desire by 2/3 hours

Yeah, I thought my GS2 was good, but this is definitely better, especially considering LTE.
I finally ran it down to low battery the other day because an app ran away with my processor and drained my battery in the background. It did this in my locker while I was at the gym. When I finally pulled it out of my pants, it was super hot and down 20% lower than usual for that time of day. I restarted the phone and still managed to make it through the rest of the day and night before it died, but just barely.
Runaway apps is one of the things I have always hated about android, but that was the only time it happened since I bought the phone, so I can live with it.

Yeah, I'd read reviews that the battery life wasn't spectacular - but this is downright confusing! Do you think I ruined it by just using right out of the box without letting it do a few charge cycles (again I was TOO excited, the most excited I'd ever been about a phone)?

Last night I charged my phone and unplugged it around 6:30 am, but used it for maybe 10-15 minutes total for some calling and light apps like iGag, but as you can see, Android OS drained almost 30% of the battery while the phone was idling.
What exactly is Android OS, because I can't find the exact apps which drained the battery so badly. Any apps or advices for detecting the troubled apps or an advice? Thanks guys. :good:
Try battery stats plus from Google Play.run it for while, it will calculate which apps are draining your battery most.

And when 95%, it take long time to 100%
Have problem with my battery ?
no its all like that cause when the battety is 100% it take too much time to 99% then the battery drain faster

My battery when it reaches around 7 - 4% will skip straight to 1% and turn off. I don't normally let it reach less than 10% but when I have it's done the above.
Any ideas has to what it could be?
Thank you for reading and any help provided in advance.

Its not so good to let your battery get so low. I start a recharge at 20%. Your battery may just need to be re-calibrated.

Mine has done the exact same thing. Otherwise it works great. I haven't repeted the test because as Zaphod says it's not recomended.

I would say mine is around 15-20% depending on what i'm doing. When the phone is not in use it's around 1% every 3 or 4 hours.
