FIX THE BATTERY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!
This fix does nothing for battery life. I updated my phone this morning and still see a large power drain even with nothing but the esential apps running in the background. Sprint and HTC you better get on the ball ASAP or you will see a large churn of customers!
How long have you had the EVO? I noticed after a week or so, the battery was alot better. I do not run any task managers/killers. I have the Sense UI with news, friends feed, stocks, and weather refreshing quite frequently.
Android 2.2 is supposed to help with the battery, if not then you mite have a bad battery.

IMO *ALL* smartphone could have better battery life!

Leave it to HTC....
after the fiasco of the HTC Hero, I've lost faith in HTC to do the right thing... After putting off the 2.1 update forever the update made most Hero's worse! HTC puts out a ton of phones, they just need to put a little more effort into keeping up the support for those phones. I do find it funny that dumb a$$es blame the carrier when a phone doesn't act right, and clearly it's a phone issue....
How did the 2.1 update make your Hero worse? I like how much smoother it runs since the update and I will hold off getting another android phone once I'm eligible again for a discount.
