This new update has done wonders for my battery life. It was never an issue for me anyways because I am always able to charge it but I've only lost about 20% battery in the amount of time that I'd usually have lost 40% easily. Win!

I still wonder what their reason for removing Android launcher is. It's free, they already give us the ability to stop sense and use other launchers.

did the OTA break your EVO if what whats your problem.

I've read quite abit about battery improvement. However, I've also read quite about google talk constantly restarting in services. I feel this is adversely affecting my battery life.

To those who notice improved battery life, is gtalk running in services?

I'm not rooted, FYI.

The update is less than a day old, how do they know their battery life is improved?

So I completed the long process of the update this morning.

All seemed fine and well. Updated a few widgits that were busted, no biggie.

Now about 6 times now while using it, regardless of the app, I lose complete control of the phone.

The screen does not respond, the bottom keys do not respond. It literally starts to randomly click open and what not. Its like it thinks I'm touching the screen randomly all over the place.

I cannot explain this other than its like ghost in the screen. It just wont let me do anything.

The only resolution is to hit the power button, turn the screen back on, and slide the unlock. Sometimes this fixes it, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attemps at this. But it does eventually go away.

Places this has happened in:

Tapatalk
Dolphin HD
MMS
Manage Applications

I've tried reinstalling Tapatalk and Dolphin, neither resolve it.

I do have SWYPE installed, so thats my next guess to unistall and see if it continues.

Its ruining my phone overall though, totally strange.

Yes... for me, battery life seems improved since the update.
