I did my OTA update today and I had plenty of battery left. Within a couple of hours after that, the battery was dead. It was also running much warmer than before the update. I'm currently charging it, so I'll give it another go, but if this keeps up, it's going back to verizon. This is a huge mess up if you ask me.

Gingerbread OTA update issues? Battery and heat?

Not with the OTA right?
Since it is technically a different ROM, I would. I have run all the GB leaks on my X and never had the problems people have with the OTA. Most of the time, a data and cache wipe works wonders.

Upgraded phones get hot and slow -- let it run.
After you have upgraded your software, the phone is going to spend some time resyncing and setting up your accounts, etc. That means it's going to get hot, as high-battery drain operations = heat discharge. It also may be a bit slow during this operation. Let it run vs. pulling your battery, etc. Give it time -- even hours -- to complete. Thanks!

I am logged into the site I just can't view that thread...says I don't have permission from admin or something ..guess I gotta be part of soak test to see?
I was supposed to be part of the soak, but I had my MEID wrong and never got the OTA. So I guess it is a members only forum thread.

The initial soak was done by 8 this morning. You can load the OTA if you want. Its up at XDA. I loaded that since I was out of the soak, and its working fine.
