i got an OTA update notification 3x since i got my epic. the first was the night i bought it, but i couldn't do the update as the battery needed more juice. 2x, it started but then said i didnt need updating. 3x, started and after a bit said there was an error (maybe bcuz i was on wifi, i dont know)...but after a few hours i checked and it says DI18. so i would say yes, but that is iffy to me.

i'm not sure what you mean exactly by battery tweaks. i have installed juice defender/ultimate juice and used recommended settings. have let batter drain at least 2, maybe 3x now. just started using start-up cleaner very early this morning. was using the free ATK, but stopped the auto-kill after doing some research.

i also use quick battery/quick settings to help monitor. brightness down to about 16%. no haptic, no vibration on select or notify.
