Thread: Update to Sense 3.0, battery life drop

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I updated my phone (Incredible S) a couple of days ago to HTC Sense 3.0. I was pretty keen on it and I quite like the animations, however it didn't take me long to realise that it's a battery killer. After charging my phone overnight, I used to go to work and come back in the evening with 70% or more of the battery left. Now after the update, I can barely pull it off with 50% left, and I haven't changed my usage habits at all.
I gave up hopes of downgrading back to the previous version, so I'm hoping for an update to HTC Sense 3.5, which from what I read seems to be more efficient.

Did anyone else have similar issues? Do you have any simple idea for solving this problem? I'm not really up for changing launcher though so I suppose there's not much I can do apart from that.

Thanks for any suggestion/comment.

I have exactly the same problem. 1h unplugged and only 92% battery. It was a great phone but with htc sense 3.0 unusable. not even 24 hours battery life time! In addition, I miss the slate theme!

Same problem here on the Desire S!

It´s very annoying!
