@natemack33: I was having HORRIBLE battery on the first day until I let it sit on the charger all night. I had initially let it sit plugged into my computer and it said 100% but I sincerely doubt it was full. I let it drain completely and then charged it fully and now I'm getting the same (or possibly better) battery life as 6.1.

On a side note, I know that there were numerous posts regarding forcing Opera to close when X was hit, what I found after upgrading was that Internet Explorer now behaves the same way (didn't notice it doing so before the upgrade). To fix this you have to delete the following:
From HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
delete BrandedBroswer.exe. It's a DWord with a value of 0. Don't know why they put it in there in the first place but it was and getting rid of it allows X to actually kill it.

Finally, for those of you who don't want to search either back to post #354 of this thread or in the thread referenced previously, the following has worked for me and I've been updating within 5 minutes of a half hour since I set it and rebooted last night:

As drewcam888 says in his post, the number you enter (DWord Value) is the update interval.
Create this DWord entry in the following key:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
Dword Name: Weather.AutoDownloadInterval
DWord Value: 30 (Decimal)
