However, I don't feel I'm getting as much life in real terms as many here and wondered if it's possible that without calibration the mA values reported could be wrong and I'm not actually getting full capacity.
im very satisfied with my battery life. unplugged 1d and 7hrs and i still have 33% of battery life.. at first my battery life was short, but maybe it just adjusted and now, works great!
Only few mAh? Mine on standby is doing around 35....

Bringing the thread active with a question.
I have CurrentWidget and have all runs normal in terms of battery consumption, except when I am on Data Connection. I have following average values:
1-4 mA with screen turned off ( with a few spikes up to 60 mA when syncing )
120-280 mA with screen turned on an Wireless on ( 280 mA when wireless is being used for sync ).
300 - 600 mA when using Data connection and screen turned on ( constantly about 400-500 mA without actually doing anything, I have most of the syncs turned off ). Ok, I understand data connection uses more power than wireless, but let's be serious, it's far from being alright
Actually with same sync settings I achieve to have 120-280 on Wireless and suddenly i get 3 times more consumption when using data connection.
I am using auto brightness and Android Revolution HD 4.0 Beta 2 ROM. Same was with Leedroid 2.3.4 ROM.
Has anybody encountered this? Is it normal to continuously consume so much without doing anything ( or at least I don't see the arrows in the status bar doing anything ).
PS: I do need to be connected to internet all the time, so turning data connection off is not an option for me !!
This is not normal! Do you have the recommended radio? How is your reception? Check your cpu load with OSmonitor and/or seePU. Try with auto sync off.
Do a full wipe and try to flash newer ROM.
Since I written that configuration has changed a bit, problem remains almost same. I have now ADHD Beta 4. I have radio: 12.41.60.19U_26.06.04.14_M. It was recommended for this ROM.
As about the reception, it is very good, there are no triggers between 3G and 2G.
I now get around 200-300 during standby, which is double than on WI-FI or 2G, without actually doing anything.
I don't think it has to do with Auto Sync, because with same setiings I get better results on Wi-Fi or 2G. It must be somewhere else. I can't think that only being with 3G consume double battery.
Yeah, didn't see your post was from a while ago
No my experience is that with good reception 3G uses less battery than WIFI.
I would still suggest you turn autosync off at least to try! Remove sense account! Have you checked your CPU load?
Maybe you should give CM 7 a try! It's a stable release now and perhaps has even better battery life than Sense Roms!
I have my desire hd for five months and the battery hasnt been great i even bought a 1600 mAh battery was ok for a while but still not that great.
I was on the verge this morning in buying a iphone 4 but i didnt for some reason
Can anyone tell me how i can get my display down to about 20% ?
My display is registering at 78% and its set to auto brightness with no live wallpaper
Since the 2.3 update my battery has been poor. IT shows 30% drain from Android System alone. any ideas?
