for anyone who cares, i force stopped the htc facebook app and since then my battery life has been a lot better. it was absolutely pathetic before that.
LOL. People are still complaining about battery life on the EVO and the Incredible? Battery on both is fine and also depends on usage and what battery saving tips you decide on using. I have friends and relatives with the Incredible and EVO and after walking them through some basic battery saving stuff they go all day without an issue. Now if you are on the thing for 30 to 40 minute clips, surfing the web, streaming and playing games well then yeah your battery will get juiced in a few hours. Same can be said of my Droid. I go all day from 7am to 8pm and have between 30% - 40% battery left. Moderate usage. The second I start hitting it hard and stream video, browse non stop for 30+ minutes I can actually watch the battery gauge drop. These are no longer traditional phones and people buy them thinking "ooh look huge screen! let me watch a movie, talk to my friends for an hour and then browse the web for an hour or so" and then wonder why their phone's battery is draining so quickly. It still just amazes me.

I guess you either didn't read a single post in this thread or you can't comprehend basic english
this thread is about the fact that the EVO already got an update to help the battery life and it helped it out tremendously, but nothing has been done to help the Incredible
That's why I also bought 2 extra 1500mAh batteries and charger (total of $12.) off ebay to keep me juiced up all the time.
Check your firmware version and see if it is above 2.1
Just another comment, I do have 2.1-update1 installed. Just went from 15-18 hrs per charge to 60 hours. Used the phone relatively the same. Not sure what they did to change something.
