[header] How to increase the htc evo 4 g's battery life [title] Update the qik application. [substeps] Go to the android market and download the latest version. Earlier versions of the qik video application (before 0.08.22) had an issue where it would ping the server every minute. 
The continuous pings would prevent the device from going to sleep and would completely drain the battery. Standby time went from 20 hours to 3 days when this application was updated.
