Ics upgrade

My battery life is much improved.anybody else notice improvement?

My battery life is much better, at least for now. Hard to say if the update itself helped, or if some other battery draining setting was turned off as a result of the upgrade. The bolt is such a battery hog, I don't leave the house without a charger.
 
I am really liking the ICS update. However, my wife is having issues on her 'bolt. From the beginning, only 3 of the 4 lock screen shortcuts are active. The right one has nothing assigned to it and when you touch it to add a function it does nothing. Also, last night her phone started randomly rebooting and it has continued today.
 
So far I like the update, there is some lag but the 4g data connection seems much more stable, only time will tell if that lasts, and the battery life is much better. One annoying thing is that I lost all my music but luckily I had it backed up so no big deal.
 
I'm having issues getting my wife's TB to download the update. Randomly in middle of the download it will stop and pop up a error saying that it can't reach the server. I'll keep trying tonight and hopefully it will eventually download the update. This update is long overdue and I'm hoping it will take care of a few of the issues that my wife doesn't like about the phone.

Did you try pulling the battery AND Sim card? Everything came back after I did that.

I think you nailed it. My battery is running the same as pre-update, about 10% per hour on light use and much worse with talk, data, media use.
