Battery Life Issues With Froyo 2.2 Manual Update

[pastorbob]

hm alright, well as far as my question about warranty? manually updating to 2.2 should void it right?

as long as this is the one everyone else is getting pushed next week, no. There is no way for them to know how you actually went about installing it.

alright well after searching through various forums, ive come across a problem stated in androidforums.com

i really am not sure if its true but here it is: Android 2.2 [Froyo] Bugs and Questions - Post em Here - Page 4 - Android Forums

its posted by Trident simply stating that: ATTENTION: Motorola and Verizon have found issue with this OTA update and it is rumored that there will be another next week. For those who have already installed this, don't freak out, you will be able to install the new update right over this one. For those who have not already installed this, it's probably best to wait until next week. Stay tuned for more information..

The VZ people at the store near me doesn't even know that the droids they sell are 2.1 and going to be updated to 2.2.

There is no way they would even know what you are talking about.

I drained my battery by the time I got off work, very unusual. I did notice that ATK isn't working properly. It hasn't been killing the browser. It showed it did, but I don't think it is really working. Didn't notice that till it maxed out on the number of windows opened. Perhaps this is why the battery drain has been so high.

I've been using it since 2 and it doesn't seem to be overdraining. I've been playing with it constantly, and have downloaded a bunch of stuff. Seems fine.

I have never any faced such type of issue. But I think that The battery had been drained very far due to some caused such as If Users have kept their cells always in vibrant mode . This is the main cause of this issue. If You have valid validity over the battery then replace it and get new one in place of it.

Latest word seems to be that task killers do not play nice with the 2.2 update. If you are having battery/heat issues try turning it off/not using it. I have had the manual 2.2 since it was posted two days ago and have had no battery drain/heat problems. I would also recommend a battery pull after installing any update and rebooting.

alright well after listening to what people have said about task killers, i have finally uninstalled it and things have gotten way way better.

battery life is back to normal, and if anything i say have improved. oh thank you for advising me to uninstall the ATK. froyo has been that much more enjoyable now.

ive been downloading different things all day and battery is still great!

I noticed that for me after updating to 2.2 SportyPal used over 30% of my battery the last 2 days. I use it every morning to track my runs. I just uninstalled and reinstalled and will keep an eye on it the next couple of days. Does anyone else use this app and are you having a similar problem?

Gang, Droid-Life is reporting that the Facebook update that was pushed out yesterday is draining the battery and that Facebook is aware of the issue and working on a patch. So since it came out the same time as the 2.2 manual, it is possible that it is NOT the 2.2 update but the Facebook update.
