sigh....thanks for confirming....guess i will live with the batt drain for now

Initially, it does consume the battery quite fast. Even it is rooted with apps disabled.

But really want to seek super improvement is to flash another kernel into it. Etc; speedmod

As far as it is concern, I wiped the phone during GB before upgrading. Then after upgrading, I wipe the storage and ICS one more time.

This is to prevent any other residues goes into ICS and cased problems which I will not be able to pinpoint.

The first 3 cycle was not as good because the battery drained quite fast. Barely using the phone, within less than ½ a day, the battery is like as low as 30%.

Now after quite a few charge cycle. The battery can hold itself until I am home. There are times despite heavy usage; I am still left with 40% sia.

go to the application, select playstore and then clear cache.

Should works fine after it rebuild its database.

Any error message?

Do the following clean the playstore cache.

Else do a full wipe.

Remember to backup your important data.

In simple term yesh, due to the fact, it is a complete different OS.

PS: Opps, I misread your post lxb_70: is not necessary to do a full wipe but it is recommended!

Go to Settings > Display > tick on Display battery percentage.

If you read... cannot use CWM recovery to wipe...

Yup, I knew about the warning, Just that i too fast never think saw the wipe data straight away press . LOL . Well, Status update : Engineer looking into phone .

hmm.. i didn't wipe before updating..is wiping after updating alone ok? since i cant downgrade...no root.

Up to you to decide if you want to wipe. Downgrading doesn't require root btw?

I just realise something after I've upgraded to ICS.

When you go to Settings and Applications, ALL the apps are apparently 'active', meaning the 'Force stop' button is highlighted for all of them! Previously before the upgrade, I had some apps that were running in the background and consuming battery quickly. Force stopping them stopped this. I wondered if this is one of the cause for the high battery drain. I'm currently going through every apps to force stop, since this is abnormal unless you opened the apps before.

Seems like alot of you are going to do full wipe. i recommend you to get "App backup & restore" or "App Backup Reinstall" for non root users. you will be able to backup all your apps after wiping. quite good

Regardless is your phone on or off state.

hold the 3 buttons at the same time.

Vol up, The centre button and power button.

After that the phone will reboot, wait for a while then release, you will see a android logo coming out.

From there on is the recovery manager (default)

if you have CWM installed then better don't wip anything.

Yes you should do that!
