Re: Another verizon OTA

I took the update this morning as well. My battery dropped from 95% to 10% in under 3 hours. After doing some digging I found that I had lost root and the kernel was keeping the CPU awake. I had to flash back to the older kernel, re-root, and then flash the new kernel. Fixed! Now my battery is back to normal.
So, if you were rooted and are experiencing battery drain this may be the cause.

I was about to say this. I don't have root and the kernal ate my battery! My battery was down to 35% and dropped 2% after the display was on for a minute. I only had 1 hour 10 minutes or display and 40 minutes of talk time in 7 hours. I removed my battery and reboot and went from 35% to 23%.

What the heck? First full day after update and this?

I'm surprised my battery has been fine on both updates. Wipe the cache, that's what I did.

I did this yesterday and my results improved. The battery seems to be draining slightly faster than normal though but its only a slight decrease.
