I just installed it this morning. I have had a lot of battery use going to the AndroidOS, and according to GSAM specifically the kernel. Hopefully this gets addressed.

Doing my update right now.

I've had that AndroidOS battery drain since I got the device. It doesn't seem to hurt battery life too much I'm getting over 4 hours SOT a day and it's lasting me till the end of the day, so I try to ignore it.
We'll see if it gets any worse or better after a day or so, can't tell anything when we've only had it installed a few hours.
it could be the battery drain while it was upgrading apps on first boot.

it could be the battery drain while it was upgrading apps on first boot.

I did see that on Monday when I first got the device, but the high OS drain was still there last night. I don't pay attention to SOT, but I know it wasn't anywhere near 4 hours.

Just installed. I don't expect to see a change to the Android OS drain until/if we get 5.1.1, but we'll see. Been getting 3-4 hours screen on, with heavy Kindle app usage and I'm used to carrying an external battery because N5, so even though it's only a little better than the N5, at least it's not worse.

I only get 4 hours by never using WiFi. I have unlimited data and turning on wifi even for just a few minutes seems to lead to bad battery life all day for me. It's an old 5.0 bug that still lingers on this device it seems. I do hope they at least give us an OTA to 5.1.1 at some point.
That Wifi drain and android OS is my only complaint about this device.

I have a pebble connected and have used it a bit today. Pretty low on the average spectrum, but my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both on and connected. I'm getting great battery life after the update. I didn't even restart after it.

Haha!

Moved the OS to the latest version yesterday morning.

When I initially got this phone SIM1 was always shown in green.
Within hours the phone received 2 firmware updates the SIM1 indicator went to white.
After the latest it's back to green with a slightly better connection.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yep I noticed that too, bummer I actually preferred both Sims white. But not the end of the world

I didn't notice the sim color but I'm pretty sure I have a stronger (lower db) connection.

Anyone else's phone been crashing/rebooting since this latest update? Mine has probably done it 3-4 times since I updated.

Mine rebooted once since the update but I've had a bunch of new crashes as well.

 

[Blaize19]

No crashes here.

No crashes here, though the model I have is unusual, 4GB ram, 32GB onboard, and the 1.8Ghz processor.
