Same here, only wierd thing is before over half of the usage was phone idle or cell standby, now it shows 94% of battery is used by android system. Not sure why but now its gone from just about a day to probably two days easily between charges (although I plug in every night).

I guess I may be the only one that hasn't seen an improvement. I toold the phone of the charger about 6:30am and played a few games of solitaire. Made no phone calls and by 9:30, I was down 10%. I made some phone calls - maybe 15 minutes tops and sent about 30 text messages. By 11:30am, I was at half mark.
What changes do I need to make? Wifi, BT, 4g are all off.
Thanks.

Hey - I don't know about non-root users - but - after doing the update last night, on a hunch, I went to Update PRL.
Even though the PRL number didn't change - 60667 - it said it updated it. Usually, it says, nothing to do, up to date.
You guys might want to try that and post back - could just have been an artifact of the way I updated - or it could've been something odd in the update.
Either way, I'm not 1000000% sure, but I think it was established that the PRL update surpasses the need for the yadda yadda CDMA adday adday fix - and keeps you out of the service menu - always a good thing, in my opinion.

Change the preferred network type to "CDMA auto (PRL)" instead of GSM.
Unplugged from the charger at 9:30 this morning. Light use today, a couple of short calls, 10 text messages,30 or so emails, and bluetooth on. At 5:51 pm I am at 90%. With my normal use (bluetooth, wifi on, too many emails and text to count, silent ringers and vibrate only) during work I get two full days, about 50% battery use each day.
Before the update, with same usage I would only get about a day and a half before recharge.

I downloaded TIKL as well and while its cool, i noticed it was usually in the top 3 of network usage as revealed by spare parts, so i uninstalled it
I can get around 12-16 hours on my battery...didn't notice any change with the update really.
While I would love to get more battery life, what I do get is fine as it gets me through my workday and back to a charger...and I don't have to turn my smartphone into a dumbphone to do it.
Hopefully, once root access is gained again (frikin update) I can root and try the new Fresh ROM...I hear great things about the speed,stability and battery life there.
