About the new Verizon update

Does the battery life stay the same? My battery has been amazing since last week, but I'm afraid of the battery life getting worse after the update, just because it happens. What to do D:

I used to be able to go 2 days on a charge. . . in the last week I'm lucky to make it through the business day without having to charge! Just finished reading up on 10 things to turn off, and have. . .facebook is the next to go if the situation isn't rectified!

My solution to the battery life issues is not the most commonly used, but I can guarantee that it does work, and works very well.

This is day 3 since charged and at 0510 in the A.M. ready to go to work, I am starting out the day with the battery at 69%.

I do this by using MacroDroid to automatically turn OFF the internet anytime the phone's screen is locked.

When I unlock the screen, MacroDroid senses that and turns the internet back ON. Yes, it takes almost 2, maybe 3 seconds for the 4g to get ready to go.... but golly gee miss molly, that is only one inhale of air for me. I think I can last that long

With my method of controlling the internet/battery life, I doubt very seriously that I will notice any differences between the different upgrade releases as regards "battery life"...

I have no problem with battery life (I've blocked the OTA updates) but I'm going to try doing this with llama and see if I notice a further improvement.

Just got a second update this morning (first one was to 4.4.4) and afterwards my phone took forever to boot up (verizon red scren), now I'm at 68% battery with 1.5 hours off charger and the phone is sluggish overall. Thanks verizon for f-ing up yet another phone.
