    Wow! Talk about weird! I bought two Motions at the same time from our local Metro store. I rooted both phones at the same time. My sons phone and my phone notified us of the upgrade about 20 minutes apart. His updated just fine but mine gave me a notice that said "it appears this phone is rooted and can not be updated"! Three days ago they both upgraded just fine.

    I noticed that in E and F.... Seems like with each up date, more battery is lost,...

    Yeah.

    If you go to developer options and limit background processes to 3 or 4 you get some

    battery life back ,-not sure on rooted phones if this works.

    Each O.S. seems to boot with more RAM and that RAM is doing something which eats

    battery.......

    Try a factory reset after flashing each firmware and let us know which one uses the least. :)
