Re: Who else is getting much better battery life with the new OTA
My battery life appears to have improved by about 300% - 400%. I know it's been less than a day, but I've been having battery issues for a couple of months so I've been monitoring battery useage very closely. (Simply by swiping two fingers down, thanks to Nova Launcher Prime Gestures.) Google+ was a big part of the problem- I had to disable it just to get 8 hours without a charge. The update re-enabled it & now instead of being at the top of the usage list, it's at the bottom, 2%. I noticed this last night & left my phone unpluged to see what would happen. Right now my battery is at 66% after 14 hours & 20 minutes. That would equal 43 hours without a charge at current usage! Even though my real daily usage will be more, it looks like I'll be able to go to work all day without charging & still come home with 50% - 75% battery left, like a normal phone. I have an iPhone for work (love the hardware, hate the software, hate AT&T) & it always has 60% - 70% left at the end of the day. Time will tell, but so far I definitely like 4.04.
