Keep us updated please. Curious to see results. Thanks.
After 26 hours, 31 minutes I am at 35% battery remaining. That's with 59 minutes of phone use, total of 3 hr. 31 minutes screen time (I'm at about 35% brightness, not using adaptive brightness.)
App Usage, Top Five
1. Android System 10.9%
2. Kernel (Android OS) 5.6%
3. 1Weather 3.4% (Great app, used more battery because updates were set to 15 minutes; have since set to 1 hour.)
4. Google Play 2.4%
5. Email 2.1% (probably need to adjust update times.)
Those Android OS share of the battery is steadily decreasing. I guess that's what people mean when they say the phone needs to "settle in" for a week.
Overall, battery life is definitely improved since I did the factory reset, but not where I was at before the OS upgrade. I haven't disabled a bunch of apps yet, like I did with Kit Kat. With typical use I could go two full days on Kit Kat and be down to about 15% remaining when I plugged it in going to bed on day #2. I don't think I'll get that this time around, but we'll see.
