Battery was dead today at 8pm, all I did was listen to music for 2 hours. Is there a step by step guide for reducing battery usage on this phone?

You and everyone else with battery issues should give this a read - http://hemorrdroids.net/htc-desire-hd-battery-life/

I'm on the second charge cycle with mine at the moment, in 3 and a half hours its lost 10%, and I haven't changed any settings at all, screen brightness is auto, and I've used it for 25-30 mins (screen on) sending texts and taking some pictures.

Wifi is on, haptic feedback is enabled, email is updating frequently, etc.

I'm sure in a few days when I configure everything and the battery has settled down, it'll be absolutely fine, but its not even that bad now.

If I'd done the same with my iPhone 4 it would probably have lost 5-8% or maybe a bit more.
 
That is a good read, and I think its worth saying again about if you are getting lag with the latest OTA patch, many have reported that 'settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging' solves it; I like to think its improved my battery also since it stops a process eating up resources. Though to plug your dhd to your computer you'd have to either install htc sync or just disable the debugging til you are done.
 
My 3 Mobile HTC Desire HD is unlocked. Have just put a Vodafone sim in and it works fine.

Software Number is 1.32.405.6.

Well happy :D
 
for those ordering from T Mobile I just got the call and they are in stock.

Now all I have to do is survive the weekend waiting for it :)
 
Is it true that most phones you get from the CPW are unlocked? (apart from the iPhone obviously)

On talk of the battery, I noticed yesterday that mine has seemed to last a LOT longer than before. Last night at 11pm I still had 30% of battery life left and I had to dry and drain the battery down so I could do a full charge!

Does this mean I will get it tomorrow? :confused: Why couldn't they send it yesterday!?! :mad:
 
Well after a rather long call being pushed around through different departments, i got confirmation and a text saying that my DHD will be with me on Tuesday! Atleast that date should be pretty solid, unlike the ones i have been getting the last month!

Thanks Slinkz! I had given up trying to call them daily!

awesome stuff, I found t mobile to be really helpful apart from the vague delivery date. It was even the same lass who called earlier this week to ask me if I was willing to wait up to 10 days. Luck of the draw I guess...

You'll get it on Monday.

I love this phone, its just incredible. (I don't say that very often)

Still on my second charge cycle at 55% after 20 hours with light-moderate use.
