Yup. And several changes in the battery usage settings as well.

First full day using this version with two hours of phone call, dozens of emails, leaves me with 20 percent battery after 17+ hours.

Oh, and the power usage chart is also new

Plus it's now not possible to view the screen on time. You'll need a third party app for that..

View what screen on time/

Sent from my HTC One X using Android Central Forums

In the prior version, you could see the amount of time the screen was on (lit up). Now you can see only the chart (above), but not the number of minutes it was actually lit up.

It was really a nebulous number anyway because it made no distinction between bright or dim settings.

How's Google Now working? And how does one activate it?

Also, there wouldn't happen to be an option to disable the LED lights of the capacitive buttons, would there? :(

I haven't seen any options to turn off te capacitive lights.

Use the Google search widget, and you should see the option to turn on Google now. Its sort of interesting, but it doesn't do a lot right now. Voice search works very well. It should get better as more functionality is added over time.

Battery life for me has been awful. Other than that I'm fine with JB

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Really? Mine has been much better than before. So much that I never bother putting it on the charger mid-day ever when the charger is sitting right next to the phone.

I've been getting 18 hours with 20 percent left even on busy days.

I am on wifi a lot.

Yeah. I've had to disable Google Now, so that my battery improves. I've got battery like in the days of Sense 4... The best battery life I had was with Sense 4.1

Are you sure its Google Now? As far as I know it doesn't do that much until you call it up, or at least have the phone lit up.

On mine, after 3 hours on battery, Google Search shows as 9%. But I was using it pretty heavily.
(Google now doesn't show up at all, but I assume its just wrapped up in Google Search.)

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Battery Utilization app?
The version HTC slipped in in JB is less informative than the old version and
you can't even figure out what percentage the screen uses.

(Seems like they are going out of their way to hide some info).

Google Now gets registered under Android System I guess. And it keeps searching and updating wherever internet is connected. Plus there are notifications too...

Try BetterBatteryStats or GSam Battery Monitor.
