For the d4 and RAZR they decided on keeping the stock browser as well as adding chrome....

My battery life has been terrible. I've got a 32GB sd card w/ ~ 1200 high quality songs on it, so it appears to be working overtime indexing the library. Checking the battery in settings, "media" is hogging 50-60% (twice what the Screen is) and it's running very hot. In doing some research, this seems to be a regular occurrence for JB updates. I'm sure hoping it subsides soon.

Yeah I think that's standard for updating especially if u don't flash or factory wipe the device first. I chose the wipe and recustomize route.. takes longer but also gives me a chance to do it over better than last time my battery life seems about the same I'd say.. but I've completely uninstalled smart actions.

I did an FDR this afternoon and that seems to have solved the issues.

Hashcode tweeted recently that he was looking over the new version and the "battery is horrid".

I've been holding off upgrading as I watch what the awesome devs cook up with the JB update, but I'm getting antsy... maybe it's worth waiting a bit longer if Hashcode says the battery life sucks? I guess I can always just stick the OTA in another ROM slot and play with it.

i dunno. i think the battery life is pretty good. but then.. when i was rooting with razr blade i chose low battery saver option instead of regular battery saver. then after testing root i uninstalled the smartactions apks. might be about the same if not a little better.

I think the battery was quite horrible. But the kernal must have changed. I prepared myself to do a factory reset before I got the update. I did it after I noticed the horrible battery life, and while I haven't gone through a full day yet, I can say, it looks promising now. But I also disable almost everything.

am I an idiot or did the update remove timer functionality from the clock app?

Looks like it to me. I never found that timer very useful, though. I like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jupiterapps.stopwatch or its free variant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch (ignore that they show as different publishers, they really are pro & free versions of the same app).

is it possible to reflash back to ics? im getting a random reboot issue and thinking of reflashing ics and reupgrading again in case something went wrong with the rom update.

hmm so how do i reflash? have to wait for the complete stock jb rom to be released before relashing?

They're basically the same phone except the battery, and now there is a $118 kit for the Razr to adapt the MAXX battery, so why not save the money and get the MAXX right off the bat.
Or get the last developer phone Verizon will likely every get.

Usually, my phone lasts until the end of the day (about 14~18 hours)...
I was hoping this was gonna be better, even if it were just a beta...
I honestly didn't notice a difference with it on my AHD. I got my N4 in the mail friday so I'm I'm giving it a shot on that. The N4 has pretty good battery life by default though, who knows.
BatteryGuru actually eats up more battery life than it helps by waking up your device to change settings. Greenify does what this app is supposed to do and then some. Allows you to pick and choose which apps go into hibernation on screen off and doesn't periodically wake your phone.

Odexed is pure stock. More difficult to mod unless the dev puts out both versions. It is supposedly faster also. Never could tell a difference in speed. But I like to stay close to stock so I always run odexed and odex all of my work. Deodexed is good for modding and theming since you only have to do things once. It is also a little smaller in size. Again supposedly a little slower, like starting apps. Also more difficult to get things working right at times. Like Google Wallet working on my Odexed Rom but not on Deodexed.
I am sure if you Google them you will find much better answers than what I have provided.

This bloody thing didn't save anything really, just annoyed me by turning off things i set to autosync and etc. Used to use it on my S3 when it first leaked months ago and broomed it fast when i noticed i wasn't receiving emails and such anymore. Apparently it turns off what it "thinks" is not necessary, like email accounts i set to check every hour. After a few days of no email, which i found weird, i went into my email settings and this silly app had turned off sync and set it to manual amongst other annoyances. I never really noticed any battery savings anyway.

4.3 leaked/in testing Galaxy S4

Seems as Nexus owners we're not the first to get the update this time. It could turn out to be an elaborate fake but probably genuine as Google are an experimenting company and have released two flagship devices with a vanilla Android option (although they're not "nexus"). From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any big changes (if any actually visible) and more fixes/optimisations.

Flashed it on my GS4 and working like a charm (and it's the international version of course). No root yet, so i'll switch back to 4.2.2 to get my apps lol (can't restore through TB Pro duh).
It's just a leak so don't worry about it. The Nexus devices will definitely get the 4.3 first.

Cool, I'm another few months away from a handset upgrade and so it definitely makes these phones an even better proposition, having access to stock android goodness. Was impressed seeing how quickly someone had put a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM together for the HTC One, then seen this and was very surprised.
Its good to see really as it shows that Google and the handset makers are finally getting why people like android so much and that is the option of choice and customisation. It may not be the exact reason for doing so but they must be conscious of it. As the last I/O conference showed, it was very developer orientated

Crap. I was hoping for better news. HTC promised a fix and apparently delivered a half baked version of a fix. Less tint isn't a fix. Thanks for sharing though.
Mine runs better but then again i am still locked. Judging by the OP going back to 4.1 i bet he flashed it on his own, which probably accounts for a large amount of the issue.
Mine is noticeably faster. The xda app has been god awful since the last update, so that is not due to 4.3.

No problems here! enjoying the update! Also not rooted or unlocked.
Don't use the XDA app, but everything seems good for me. Completely stock, not rooted. Longest I've ever kept a phone this way, and if I can find a way to tether without root, I don't know that I'll feel the need to for a long while.
i didn't flash the update i went back to stock and then updated to 4.3 ... im s-off so i just went back to 4.1.2
I'm not rooted or unlocked. Never have been in this phone. I'm noticing faster than normal battery drain and a laggier scrolling experience if you will. Phone still flys, but not what I expected.

did it last afternoon, and then did a factory reset. I didn't see any power drain problem, maybe even better, but the signal strength seems to be lower, which according to others might just been the data signal strength.
I noticed the laggy scroll too.. and transitions back to the home screen
I'm having an annoying issue. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time but like to turn off the vibrate function in apps like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc so I don't get a vibration when someone tweets me, emails me, etc. Since the update, it still vibrates when the box isn't checked. Can anyone try to replicate? Thanks
