I would like to gather some information on battery stats for those that have updated to Jellybean.
The main issues I was having with ICS is a slow discharge of the battery (about 3% per hour) when the phone is in Airplane mode or Sleep Mode. (radios shut down). I see this as a "NOT" normal action, as my EVO would last days in Airplane Mode under the same conditions. I determined the drain by doing a clearing of the cache, and then a FDR and then a clearing of the cache. The only apps that were loaded were that of the FDR. (I did not load any apps). I would place the phone in Airplane mode and set it aside on my desk and checked the consumption rate at the same time per hour; no other use was incurred.
After searching the forums, I found others were having the same or similar issue and the most likely cause was the ICS update. Now that the JB update has been circulated around I wanted to get some battery stats to see if others had improvement or reduction of battery life, and under what circumstances.
My phone is less than a year old and while the battery life on my Maxx is vastly superior to my EVO, I do find the 3% consumption rate per hour rather annoying, and if the JB update doesn't minimize that I may send it in for repair. However I wanted to obtain as much data as possible first.
Thanks for any assistance.
