Nothing to improve battery?? Which was much better on previous software.

I was hoping for battery improvements as well. The last OTA slaughtered my battery life. I factory reset twice, and I still haven't come close to numbers I was seeing when I first got my phone. Its not battery depreciation either.

My phone is awake more with the screen off. The kernel needs to be updated, thats where a majority of the wakelock comes from. At first I didn't want to root and go ROM/Kernel searching, but I may just have to now...
 
And so it begins. OTA for this update has started.

Two minor things I have noticed. First the phone recognized by faster Wireless at my house. Second the wallpaper extends further up on the home screen.

Note: Motorola does periods of push until they make it available for pull. Your location does not matter.

I'm still holding onto 4.2.2 for tethering. If anyone knows a reliable way to root or otherwise maintain wifi tethering and get up to date, I'd love to hear it.
