Blinkfeed

Since the 4.2.2 update my battery life is shorter than before the update. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Could that be caused by Blinkfeed updating?

Sure Blinkfeed is going to cut into your battery life. The more you have sync'd/polling to update there the more drain it is on the battery. Think of it just like Google Now, same principal.. More its doing the more drawn on the battery.

My battery life seems about the same but have noticed if you pick the blink feed option you only get 5 pages instead of the 7 or 8 you get with the traditional option. Anybody else find this true.

Yea I noticed that too. 5 pages is plenty for me so no problem.
