Evo didnt die from 4/30 -

YUP!
Not rooted either:dancingcool:

my Evo was fully charged Saturday night & it wasnt on charger since i took it off on 4/30.

as of this morning(9amest)it was about high 80s on battery life.

Unfortunately, it isnt in service either. They gave me a refurb on 4/29/11 and about 7pm it starts re-booting.

on 4/30, the phone was re-booting all morning from 9ish to 11 then staying on the load up screen from 1111 until i got to the nearest Sprint store. roughly about 12pm

I guess without service, is the best way to maximize the the battery life on the Evo.

I was also using the Evo to play music through the night on 4/30

Without constant data/voice polling, your phone is basically a brick lol

yup
when i took it to an auth dealer, they was like, "this phone is !!ty"
