After a recent Android update to my Droid charge, I started having email and battery problems.

I have Aol mail and the mandatory Gmail accounts on my phone and they will no longer update with new emails. I can't even access the account settings for either one of these two accounts.

Additionally, my battery life seems to have been cut in half.

I have not been to the Verizon store nor have I found any threads describing this behavior in support forums.

Has anyone else seen these problems since the recent update?

Many thanks!
