just go ics-not thrilled

Well people. I just went to a US cellular store to test out the galaxy note 2. Holy crap batman. It's incredible. Smooth, fast, good feel to it, and it does fit in your shirt or pants pocket. If you've got an upgrade, check this beast out.

I'm curious what apps you were running. There could be a problem app.

Under System Settings > Battery it shows you recent stats.

While you're in System Settings. Tell us your Data usage. An app could be using a ton of data in the background.

Also are you clearing cache correctly?

These are the proper steps:

Step 1: power your bionic down
Step 2: hold volume up, down, and power simultaneously
Step 3: use the volume down to navigate to "recovery," use volume up to select
Step 4: you will get a screen with a triangle with an exclamation point, next to an Android. Press volume up and down simultaneously
Step 5: use the volume rocker to navigate to "wipe cache" and use the power button to select.
Step 6: after it has finished, use the volume rocker to navigate to "reboot system now" and use the power button to select.
Step 7: say "TA-DAA!"

You should only do this once. Not every 3 hours. You're phone will not get any better if you constantly wipe your cache. It is a one time thing, not a 5 times a day thing.

Also if you're still having trouble try using the Smart Actions app to help save battery life.

Well I followed your instructions to a t and all went well. However, I can't say ta-da since it didn't help my phone. Still lags, sluggish, battery taking a beating.

Did you calibrate the battery afterwards?

No. Not in the instructions.

No. Not in the instructions.

It takes a bit for things to settle down after a cache reset.

Also you didn't do any of the other instructions like tell us your stats. You can take screenshot of those screens by doing the following:

Simply hold down the Volume Down button and Power button for about a second.

You can then go to imgur.com on your phone and upload the images.
