Lack of Push Notifications since OTA

Sounds4u

Ever since I took the OTA Firmware update last week, I have had issues with a lack of push notifications on my Incredible 2.  Gmail, work email, Facebook, InstaGram, Twitter and more all require a manual "refresh" for me to get my emails and more.

I also have this battery charging issue that appears to be widespread on the boards here, but that is another matter.

Anyone else experiencing this push notification issue since the OTA?

FWIW - The Background Data option under "Accounts & Sync" in Settings was disabled by the OTA.  Not only was my Exchange disabled, but I had to re-enter my Gmail address.  Once enabled and re-entered, I seem to have re-enabled my push notifications.

Now about this battery charging issue....
