What a difference a day makes..... I'm now seeing the android OS with a severe increase in battery usage.

Android OS is now at 73%...

Display is at 14%

I'll see how usage is throughout the day and if battery drain has increased overall.

I was seeing some additional battery drain as well, I decided to root and try a custom rom "unNamed 2.1.1" and all is better, actually my battery life has been much better than pre upgrade stock. The developer removed all the bloatware including social hub.

Yeh I'm going to flash to unNamed as well, best ROM for this phone right now. I'm seeing an increased battery drain as well after this update, I too was at around 1% an hour before, now it's like 4-6% and in use like browsing etc drains faster then before

Noticed a weird thing to, after this update, uploading videos to Facebook takes forever now compared to before.

I just spent the last two hours talking with Att and Samsung regarding this issue. Don't waste your time with Samsung they wanted me to send my battery to them for 7-9 days of evaluation before sending me a new one.

ATT tech support was very helpful. They said it's very possible that the 2.3.6. OTA update corrupted my phone and or battery causing the increased drain. They will be sending me a battery to try and fix the issue. If that doesn't work they'll replace the phone. They said the more people who call them about the issue the faster Samsung will supply a fix to the update.

I'll let everyone know if the new battery fixes the problem. I have my doubts but I'll try it anyways.

Hey if it doesn't, at least you have a free spare battery

I did A factory reset yesterday and that fixed the problem, my battery its actually so much better than before I'm going on 1 day 8 hours and still have 50% left, its doing A lot better in stand by also draining about 1% every 2 hours

So factory reset maybe fixes it? I may have to try that.

Thing about factory reset is that application automatic re-download had never worked for me. I do have auto backup, or whatever it's called, option enabled. Have to make a list of all apps every time. Real PITA.

Factory reset did squat for me. Almost made it worse. Maybe because of the reset up. I lost 45% battery in one hour! I use an iPhone 4, wanted to try this galaxy, but with battery drain like this, and the long re-charge time I just can't.

Could you let us know what your settings are? Display, apps, widgets. I would like to try and duplicate to see if it works on mine.
