hello all, so I was super psyched to see a post about the ICS update, and I decided to download it. I checked for the update on the phone, got it, went to install and then during the reboot, was upset to see the phone stuck on "Updating media database" or something like that. After it was stuck on the for about and hour, I pulled the battery for a hard reset. As I held my breath, I put the battery in and re-booted and was excited to see that the update had worked, so yeah!!!
However, I quickly noticed not only and intense battery drain, but the phone would not charge at all. Between the long-ass reboot time and me not really noticing, it quickly dropped to about 20%...even plugged in, it was still just draining away...after looking at some previous ICS rollouts, what I found was that in some cases of extreme battery loss and no charging, two solutions seemed to dominate. One was a phone cache reset (see-http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/07/05/how-to-fix-droid-razr-and-droid-razr-maxx-ice-cream-sandwich-issues/)
Along with this, some people suggested a full factory reset. I did both, and found that it did solve the problem...best guess, it's an app compatability problem, so you could try deleting one app at a time to see if that solves it for you
So, if you are having a post-ICS battery problem, try one or the other (or both, like me) and it hopefully will help...
p.s. other then that, ICS update seems to be quite nice...
