40 percent drop in 4 hours on ICS

you can go back to gingerbread, just take your phone to a corporate sprint store and the can hook you up!

Not so far. Tried at two different locations so far.

Not true! I have made 2 trips & even if they can, Sprint Store won't.

are you sure?

yes i'm sure, they did it for me....

you need to go to Sprint Corporate!

yes you are correct if you just go to the sprint store, you MUST go to the Corporate Sprint Store and they can do this for you. I had it done and they said I wasn't the only one.

you might wanna call ahead to make sure they have the software handy tho.......

edit: just read in another thread you started that you put "GB" back on your phone?

I tell NO LIES!!!

I did put GB back on it & could not see much improvement, so then let it update itself to ICS again. Hoping maybe JB update will some day rescue me!
Meanwhile have purchased new battery from Amazon (thought maybe old one was stressed) but what has at least made situation tolerable for me is an app called "Battery Doctor".
And I did visit 2 corporate stores trying to get a rollback before I followed the instructions on the XDA site to install ODIN & then load GB myself. If you found a Sprint store tech that would do it, consider yourself lucky.
Maybe the recent Japanese buy of control of Sprint will result in better service.

I'm hoping for the same thing ^^^
Softbank sounds like they're going to strive to make Sprint the fastest 4G carrier in the US. That'll be awesome!

I figured out my problem... for some reason if you have a black screen instead of a picture of something you get 8-10 more hours out of your battery.... who knew.....
