Ok, so I love having froyo on my phone and basically have no beef with the update. However, wth happened to the battery? It takes (Im not kidding) over half a day to charge this phone now. And its not like I am getting anymore out of it. Whats with this?

Now, as far as battery... I too was a victim on both of my dInc's when 2.2 came out. (one for me one of son) I couldn't go 4-5 hrs without needing to recharge. However, I have found a solution that works for me and has worked on both of my dInc's. I think whatever it is that measures power needs to be "reset". I Bump charged each phone 4 times consecutively. Once the bumping no longer generated an orange light, I put both phones through their normal useages. I am now able to go the entire day/night without needing to charge. I have also found I haven't needed to bump charge again. Once I did that, the normal charging process seems to have worked. I still bump charge every couple days just to make sure.

Yeah, I also noticed that initially the phone took forever to charge and drained really fast, but the longer I use it after the update the better it gets. In particular, try charging the phone with the power off if possible, so when you power it up, it has a full charge.

One other (follow at your own risk) solution: root your phone and install a custom kernel. There is at least one kernel keyed to rapid charging out there that I know of.

I have it installed and my phone charges normally.
