Battery life after update?

[garl6]

seems like my camera app is draining a lot of battery. more so than usual? maybe. it does seem like my phone is draining battery faster than usual, but i have no proof to back that claim. it doesn't hinder my usage, can still get through an entire day comfortably.

Something has been keeping my phone awake all the time since the update. Still cant figure it out. It is KILLING my battery

Just curious--when you had your phone on at 5:30, was it pretty much fully charged, or was it really down to 85%? My battery does this weird thing where, as the day progresses the initial battery gets lower and lower. My usage is fairly routine: unplug phone, turn on at 8AM on my way to my hour-long commute (usually just the Kindle app + Play music with no wifi/4G). Same thing on my way back, when work/school ends.

In the beginning of the day, it shows my phone was at 100% since 8AM--but by the time I get out of work, it says that my battery was anywhere from ~80-90% since 8AM. Is that happening to you, too?
(just took this screenshot now; it was at full charge when I turned my phone on at 8 AM (which is that chunk of usage that shows prior to 12 PM), but now it shows 90% at 8AM)

^~2-3hrs' screentime mostly without 4G/wifi and partly with a screen dimmer, down to 36% after 17 hours; if anything, I think my battery improved after the update.

My best run on battery after the update.

It was probably at 85% for me, since I primarily charge only fully at night, if I have charges throughout the day I only charge long enough to where the battery notification looks primarily full. I will keep an eye out on it though to see next full run I do.

Have you used betterbatterystats or GSAM to try to figure it out? I know I had an issue with wakelocks for a few weeks. One was caused by my wireless at my office and the other wakelock was caused by the SIM error that has been plaguing some phones. My solutions were to use 4G while at the office to fix one and to pull out and clean my SIM to fix the other. My battery life has been awesome since.

It's not showing 8am. Pinch to zoom in and you'll see.
