    Hi i've been quite happy with my Desire but in the last few days the battery has gone to crap.
    If i start off with a full charge in the morning it's typically half charge by early afternoon- without even using it.
    I haven't changed any settings- wifi, gps and bluetooth are off.
    Anyone any ideas.
    Thanks.

    have you installed any new apps lately? i have various rss feeds, bbc news widget, twitter widgets, facebook widgets, google latitude, weather info .. etc etc. it's all checking almost constantly for updating which obviously drains battery.

    No, i didn't make any changes recently.
    Battery life was fine up until a few days ago- not sure what's going on.

    My Desire wouldn't even last a day until I installed Juice Defender.

    give it a go and see if it helps. I still only get a day and a half out of the battery once I manage to stay away from Shazam!
