For all those who are running 4.2.2, does the update significantly improve battery life?
This is the main thing I'm looking forward to.

It's only been a day, but Better Battery Stats is showing that it's going into Deep Sleep at a much higher percentage than before, even with faux kernels. Idle drain seems improved, but according to faux, they haven't fixed the HSIC stuff that's causing wakelock hell on non-wifi connections.
Unless there is a significant improvement to battery life I don't see a reason to update and give up LTE.

I've noticed a vast improvement in battery life. Usually I get around 2.5 he's screen on time on 3g only. Today so far I've got 1 hour screen time and still at 75%

YES! I noticed a massive improvement in idle battery use as well!
Well, but giving up LTE will almost by definition improve your battery life, since LTE in and of itself is a drain on battery. But since I never used LTE on this phone, I can categorically say that under similar usage, battery life has in fact improved quite a bit for me. Much of that is due to much smaller battery drain while the phone is idle, that is also true.Unless there is a significant improvement to battery life I don't see a reason to update and give up LTE.
