Galaxy II (Sprint) Battery Life after ICS

[aelenes]

I recently got the ICS on my Galaxy SII from Sprint and all the battery is now draining fast! I used to love it because it lasted so much longer than the EVO that I had before but now something is wrong..is anyone else having this issue?? I love the new ICS update but its killing my battery life.

My GSII never received the OTA push, no matter how many times I went into system update. So I downloaded it to an SD card and booted it up from there, forcing it to update manually. But now my phone is jacked up - it freezes constantly, especially when using Chrome. I don't know what's up with it but it's consistently laggy and frustrating where Gingerbread was smooth and quite responsive (and never once froze to my knowledge). Is there anyway to UNDO the ICS "update?"

I have no idea how to remove...I just loaded app killer to see if it would help with the battery but its not doing much of a difference.

Yes, had to re-calibrate the battery and now all is well.

If you go into the boot menu on start up (volume up + power) there is a way to reflash/ wipe partition cache. Try that

I might try that. On second thought, as soon as I learn how to root my phone and flash a workable ROM that will run Jelly Bean, I think I'd just rather do that. I don't imagine it will be long before that's possible (if it isn't already).

I know someone who had the same issue and it did correct it. In addition to the battery the phone was lagging really bad before he cleared the cache.
