HTC has confirmed the 2.2 update is causing severe battery drain issues for many customers. Read below.
My wife and I updated to 2.2 a few days ago; our neighbors four days ago. My wife is using a stock Verizon phone, no additional apps. All of us have seen our batteries go from about 1.5 days of use down to about 4 hours.
Called Verizon who patched in HTC rep. After some serial number checking the HTC rep confirmed there is a major issue with the Incredible and the 2.2 update. A patch will be coming "sometime in the near future". No additonal details.
His recommendation for now: Use the system to kill any processes you are not using but understand many of them will automatically restart anyway. Keep a charger handy for now.
FORUM: Anyone else get this response yet? I know many of you are lucky and are reporting no problems at all, but many of us are affected. And as I said earlier, my wife's phone is stock Verizon with no add ons so it has to be something internal to the phone.
Anyone have any suggestions or insight to help us get a full day out of the phone? Any insight into when this "patch" will arrive?
Thanks!
