What the use of this great phone with great features if battery doesn't last for more then 4 hours
I have to recharge it many times a day!
Still I scare to use if for watching videos or surfing net as I might miss important calls due to low battery shutdown!
So I find this phone is of no use!

How funny is that.............
1) Disable the Mobile Data
2) Disable the Background Data
3) Disable Wi-Fi
4) Disable 3G instead use GSM
5) Disable Bluetooth
6) Avoid using Live Wallpaper
7) Use the phone for calls and sending messages
8) Refrain from listening music - use your IPOD instead.
9) Refrain from surfing the net - use your IPAD, Laptop or Desktop Computer.
10)Refrain from watching videos - use your portable dvd player.
Better someone would use Nokia 1200

I don't know why people are complaining about battery too much .... I got my DHD about week ago and its battery is just fine. more than 24 hours. I charged the battery yesterday at 8:00 pm and until now ( next day 5:00 pm ) its more than 65 %. and i m using wifi a lot and location maps and regular phone/messaging. I m also using the live wallpaper ... what else u want from a big smart phone ?

Hi,
I bought desire HD last Saturday. the speaker volume level was toooooooooooooo low you cant hear the ring in the out side. and the multimedia volume was pathetic. From the second day got a problem that there was no ring tone and message tone .I ve been advised by htc call center to make a factory reset.I mede it the problem solved temporarily. after that in a day I am doing factory reset for at least three times, because the same problem is repeating. screen clarity is poor comparing with HD mini. So I suggest all of my friends not to select Desire HD

Yes it is a nice phone and easy to use, I just can't hang around and wait for HTC to provide a better battery.
The company I bought it from happily allowed me to return it for a full refund, so I'm happy about that. Now just got to work out what I will get now.
Thanks

I got myself a desire hd few weeks ago and i am dead in love with it. i am SO happy i choose the DHD over samsung galaxy (i was torn between the 2 for weeks!). on the battery life, its a smartphone, so naturally the battery drains faster than normal phone.. even samsung galaxy faces the same problem.. but if your battery life span is really really bad, try downloading an app called Juice Defender. It will help prolong your better life span. Worked for me and it has also worked for other andriod phones. Good luck to you =)

The only measures you can prolong the battery life are the following:
1) Disable the Mobile Data
2) Disable the Background Data
3) Disable Wi-Fi
4) Disable 3G instead use GSM
5) Disable Bluetooth
6) Avoid using Live Wallpaper
7) Use the phone for calls and sending messages
8) Refrain from listening music - use your IPOD instead.
9) Refrain from surfing the net - use your IPAD, Laptop or Desktop Computer.
10)Refrain from watching videos - use your portable dvd player.
You will have to do these sacrifices in order to prolong the battery. Until such time HTC will announce its upgraded battery in the market. Though they are aware of the issue I believe they are working on it.
I'm not trying to be biased, I'm not working with HTC but I'm just trying to help everyone in here who needs some help.
This is a great phone far better than IPHONE. So far, I have no issues with the phone and it works perfectly on me.
Be happy ... Goodluck!

Hi All,
The battery life on the Desire HD is really terrible. I kept it turned off and charged for 24 hours when I first bought it as recommended but it is just terrible.
After just one on sitting n my work train using the Desire HD surfing websites like Facebook, GSMArena, checking my tweeter account, the battery was drained halfway. There is no way this device would last even half a day with the minimal use I had with it.
I'm taking it back to the shop and replacing it with a different model all together, I'd never go HTC again, what a let down. I don't see why either I should go out and buy bigger, better batteries, if HTC wanted it's consumers to have a very good experience from the get go, they'd give you the best in it's original packaging, don't you think.
Cheers
Craig

Good job HTC! Yesterday my DHD falled down to the floor from 1.2-1.4 m high. It still works great. There are some tiny marks on the phone, but nothing to worry about.
