Updating to UVDLJC results in a much worse battery for me. 20-25% less per day compared to UVDLJA.

I flashed root66's stock UVDLJC with root and noticed the battery was worse with Android OS using a much larger percentage. I went back to root66's stock UVDLJA with root and the battery was back to normal. Yesterday I got the update nag for UVDLJC and to test I let it update. Sure enough, battery is back down 20-25%.

Anyone else having such issues? Is there a cache that needs wiping? I haven't noticed much increase in signal strength or speed, so the new radio only has downside for me.

I saw a huge battery drain from IP service process. I disabled WiFi calling and its back to normal battery usage. Something in this update with WiFi calling enabled is draining the battery.

I can also confirm that T999UVDLJC drains battery much faster on Wi-Fi. Regular network (4G) is fine but as soon as I connect Wi-Fi, forget it. Did not have this problem with previous modem.

Can confirm battery drain also. Really getting pissed off. Love this phone. Slowly making me regret selling my nexus. Anyone having wifi issues. My wifi seems "slow". By slow I mean compared to my wifes mytouch 4g shes had for 3 years now, she canb load browser pages and yputube videos faster. I get partial loads then it fets stuck. Ugh. I thought it was my router at home but evenbhere at work its still slow.

I always leave WiFi on and let JuiceDefender turn it off when it isn't in use. I turned off WiFi for a few days and the battery life was close to the old radio.

Can't say I have any issues when WiFi is turned on. No benefits from the battery draining radio either.
