Soldato
Just got my early upgrade and i have gone from an old HTC Hero to a awesome Desire HD
Now a few questions
I received the phone with half a charge and gave the battery a fully charge before first use. I used the phone LOADS the first day (wifi,dl apps, playing games etc. and from 11 am > 10pm it was dead and time to charge (as i would expect from a day of heavy use)
I have given the phone a complete charge over night and awoke to the green light. This morning as i was getting ready for work the misses took it off charge to play some angry birds (women ..) and i used it a bit for texts and web before driving to work (about 5 mins max) and when i got into work (about a 15 min drive it had already depleted 1 bar....
Now i know the batteries on these phones are not brilliant and ive done all the usuall things i did on my Hero (advance task killer set to kill apps on screen off, changed brightness, screen time out to 30 seconds, wifi and mob net off unless i use them, no syncing unless i ask it to etc etc.) And I am wondering if there is anything I can do (without rooting) to help save a bit more power.
Ive read about conditioning the battery (seen vids on youtube etc) and wondered if this is something i should do?
Does the battery get better after a few charges?
And is ATK a false positive and actually use more battery then it helps save?
(sorry for the silly questions I just want to make sure I can decide whether to keep this phone or sent it back before my 7 days grace period is up ...)
Any help is appreciated thanks

) I have had mine on since this morning and its only lost the one bar as mentioned in the OP. Although I have only really been texting and that's it.
