    How do I stop Maps from running in background?

    Check the Google app that replace "places" (I forgot what it's now called but it has a red icon. After turning else everything off, I found that app was running the Maps process. That fixed the problem for me.

    Jelly bean update

    Thank you guys, I did not thnk it was going to work, but the framework idea worked for me! You just need to keep trying. My NS4G was rooted(stock) and took the OTA. Thanks!

    seriously, I'm stumped about the battery life

    What helped me was uninstalling all apps and then slowly reinstalling one at a time, in addition to all the suggestions above. Also turn off all widgets and notifications for a while and then slowly introduce them back on. I am getting 24+ hrs on my rooted, stock rom.

    Android OS is eating my battery!

    I uninstalled Facebook and turned off all notifications and syncs. I think Facebook may have been the mail culprit. I am now slowly re installing everything and keeping a close eye on power consumption. So far I went from 7 to 24+ hrs under regular use. I am running stock ICS.

    Is it me or...

    ...did the problem with auto brightness solve itself? Either my eyes adjusted or the auto brightness is making the screen brighter than it was right after the OTA update. Have you noticed this too?

    google calendar empty in app but not in browser!

    This happened to me too with my Exchange calendar. I think I power cycled and later it came back up. Weird.
