Battery life has been terrible since I updated to 4.1.2 done everything I could. Stop Google search, forced stop apps, several battery pulls still with the same results :thumbdown:

**meyerweb** · 02-14-2013, 12:05 PM

Everything? Have you tried a factory reset?

Maybe its just me but everything seems faster and smoother since I updated. I DID do a few battery pulls (clearing RAM and rebooting in recovery)...also, I noticed the "bezel" zooming on the web is gone (I never liked it)...but, that too, might just be ME

Yep, it definitely looks like it was removed. It drove me crazy until I found out what was causing it, and it was still a bother.

I was sooo used to scrolling as I read by using the side of the screen...that was real dumb...glad its gone...AND I am glad it was not just MY issue...HA!

I've noticed in the notification bar, the time is more to the center.. I use Military time, I'm thinking that may be why..

Swype seemed to update as well. I only noticed because the trace line is bolder and smoother, as well as a new button for saving words pops up. Also there is a new app in the drawer called Group Share. Nice update overall, as everything seems a little smoother. Just wish it were premium suite and not just the bug fixes. But hey, it could be worse...I could be on Verizon still waiting for JB.

The camera app also seems different too.

Might just be mine but S Beam turns itself off after a restart. Not a big deal but something i noticed.

**adlebo** · 02-15-2013, 01:40 PM

MA6 definitely updated Swype. Before the update I wasn't able to type in fields such as this reply and in Google searches with auto spacing. I needed to manually space between the words which was annoying. But after the update, auto spacing finally works again as its supposed to! For me, that's the best part about the MA6 update!

Haven't seen the update yet, and nada when prompted. Sounds like some interesting changes.

**rando991** · 02-16-2013, 04:58 PM

I went from Gingerbread on my Epic to JellyBean on my SG3, so I never saw ICS (LF9), but it appears from the online Sprint User Guide that the Settings/Display/Gyroscope Calibration is gone now? Anybody else know where it might be if not there?

**gotta have it android** · 02-16-2013, 06:52 PM

I've noticed the camera is a bit different now, and my screenshots are, what i mean by that is that its just a white boarder around the screen as it wasn't before

**ihbsbA** · 02-16-2013, 08:07 PM

I happen to love the bezel zoom... I hope someone can preserve this function.

What's different about it?

**Bigchris** · 02-17-2013, 12:47 AM

When opening the app, the first thing I noticed was a pop up about Burst shots, then afterwards I noticed the autofocus box looks a little different too.
