Hey guys, just thought I'd make a thread to see what people think after having it for a while and after the recent small update after it.
Gotta say I'm disappointed after this update, from looking around here and another site it seems to be no two people have the same experience with this phone even pre-JB. On ICS my phone was perfect, battery life was great and sense was a lag free experience.
After installing I noticed straight away that my battery had took a massive hit, going from a respectable full day off one charge (often still in the green by night) to an abysmal 6hrs. After turning off Google now & hotmail from syncing it initially went up to about 14hrs.. not perfect but juxtaposed with the smoothness I was willing to accept. Now I'm down to about 10hrs before it's in the orange, even with the power saver turned on... keeping juice in this phone is impossible, even when in standby. Things that never used to use much battery when it was on ICS now kill it, music player, browser, facebook and even small apps like my banking one drain the phone like never before.
I've noticed my phone has become really glitchy too, the buttons on the bottom aren't always registering presses and my camera seems to take ages to take the first shot, often spoiling the whole point of having a camera on the phone... again it never used to do this.
I feel the things I've supposedly gained with this update are negated by the things I've lost, my phone was really smooth before so the new frame rate thing means nothing to me, if I could roll back to ICS I would do it in a heart beat I really feel this was an update to far for this phone.
What experiences are you having with your version of the phone, mine is an unlocked tegra 3 version.
