My battery is draining much faster since the update. Has anyone seen this as well? I took it off the charger (fully charged) nine hours ago and and am at 30%. The OS has used 41%, then the display at 25%.

I use just a Tweetdeck widget. I have the update interval set really low. Use is light lately due to work being very busy. Maybe a few texts, some looking at Tweetdeck, one check of Facebook. Has anyone with VZW talked to them about this?

In the thread that is currently above this one,

Since update...

Beginning around the 4th or 5th post this issue is discussed. Farther down in the thread, I think on page 2, I posted instructions on how to wipe the system cache partition. Doing this seemed to have a positive effect on my stock battery after the 902 update.

I saw that and I think believed it to apply to rooted phones, which mine is not. I tried it and it has made a big improvement. Thanks!

Awesome! I'm glad it helped. This is something I read about that's actually for those of us peeps who have remained stock.
