12 hours seems kinda low...I posted this over at XDA:

Getting some excellent battery life after the update.

I'm at 21 + hours and I still have 50% battery life.

I'm rooted and running stock. I have removed a bunch of bloatware though. I have startup auditor to block the DRM thing on restarts. I have tried updating the PRL and Profile a few times over the past 20 hours but it always failed. I understand that this resets the radio and actually helps with the TWS bug. No juice defender, no set CPU.

I usually go this route to reset the radio rather than doing the airplane mode trick. Although, I just type in *#4636*1111# in the dial pad and go to phone information. Then I hit "run ping test" once or twice until the Set Preferred network type down at the bottom says unknown. If you wait a few hours and go back to it, it'll be reset to the default setting of WDMC or whatever.

Anyways, I know some people have said that the battery meter is off but still. 21 hours without a charge is darn good in my book. Since last unplugged, I've used my phone to text and email quite a bit. Did some light browsing and made a few phone calls.
