I was using bluetooth today, Wifi & streaming from slacker radio on the car.

Just got home since 8:00 am on the road on one single charged. 12+ hours and 2% Not bad i think.

How is battery working for you on 4.3?

I had my first full day on 4.3 yesterday & got fantastic battery life. I played a couple of battery heavy games (not for long though) and the phone lasted me a full 24 hours with about 20% battery left. Normally I'd only get around 16 hours of use and have that 20% left.

My phone wouldn't charge last night though. I restarted it this morning and it worked. Not sure if this is 4.3 related or USB. My 1st instinct is USB but I digress

I've noticed that my stock 4.3 update seems to be giving worse battery life.

I'm usually @ my work place with airplane settings on because of poor signal penetration & can stay in the 80+% battery status for most of the day even when I step out to get a signal.

Now, after 4.3 update - noticed occasional 'coffee breaks' & turning off airplane to check emails usually puts me down to 60% by end of day.
