» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Your Desire HD new battery may not reach its optimum level yet. Please use the Desire HD for a few weeks first. If the battery still draining fast, perform the Battery Calibration tip in the next post, it might help.
Generally, the following will conserve your battery too:
