Battery Life under Kit Kat

Hmm not sure. I am at 21 hours on this battery and am at 60% life, with normal usage (no streaming video etc).

I think thats about what i was getting prior to the update. You using power saver so it turns off your data connection when phone goes to sleep?

Any fixes?

My battery life has been awful post update. The only thing that fixed it was a factory reset as previously mentioned.

Having said that, before the reset, my battery would drain about 10-20% per hour. It got to the point where the phone was constantly warm, regardless of use.
 
I was reluctant to reset at first, but seeing additional recommendations for this fix convinced me. Sure enough, that did it!

One tip for the next guy: check your HTC Backup settings (account, password and backup service) before the reset. Using the right credentials for automatic restore after a reset will save you a lot of trouble with reinstalling and reconfiguring apps. Ask me how I know!
 
Shame you had to reset tho, kitkat dramatically improved my battery life. I am at 2 days 6 hours on battery and still have 46% left.

Not heavy usage of course, but still its way better than with 4.2.2. Glad reset fixed it for you tho, good to know its a viable option if my phone ever goes wonky for one reason or another.
