Noticably worse battery life after update.

[hal1]

My battery app tells me time remaining as well as discharge rate. It used to be over 21+ hrs from full, and a discharge rate of 1% per 15 minutes.

Now it's 15-16 hours from full and a discharge rate of 1% per 10 minutes.

Any thoughts or observations on this?

I don't have that battery app, but going by my personal observations, so far my battery life seems to be improved. At this point I'd usually be at around 17% (took it off the charger yesterday morning). Right now my battery meter shows 24% remaining.

I've had the update since Tuesday. Battery life is no different - no better, no worse.

I don't know if it was the Cache Wipe or the reinstall of my battery app, but all seems good.

Thanks all.

Huh. I was stunned this morning that after I pulled it off the charger at midnight, it was at 98% at 9:30! I'm in airplane overnight. That's pretty astonishing.

So far my battery seems to be the same.

I've seen that before. I believe it's due to the battery charging & discharging while plugged in. Apparently they do that so they don't overcharge the battery and shorten it's lifespan. I remember hearing about that a few years ago on HTC phones. The same thing happens to my laptop, I don't know that I've ever seen it at 100%, it's always says something like 95 or 98% and not charging even though the charger is plugged in.

I have noticed, non scientifically about .2%, that's point two percent less battery usage per hour since the update.
Not a lot but over the life of the phone it might make difference in battery life.

What Battery App do you use?

Us Maxx users are so spoiled in terms of battery life.

I had awesome battery life prior to update and then like many others it noticeably got worse after updating. I experimented and removed the Apex launcher that I had running and that fixed the problem. I'm back to normal again! Check to see if any programs that aren't stock might be causing the reduced battery life.
