Jelly Bean update woes?

I've updated my Razr Maxx to Jelly bean through the About Phone > System Updates option. It's been a few days now for all the apps and syncing to have settled down, but I'm still seeing the battery getting chewed through now and it's looking like Android OS is using up close to 60% of the battery (averaging about 58%).

I've also seen that with the update certain apps (bloatware) has been removed. However, I still seem to have a few apps, like MotoACTV & Verizon Videos, present that should have been removed with the update.

I was going to wipe the cache in Recovery Mode before doing a Factory Reset, but holding down the Volume +/- rocker and the power button just boots my phone up normally. Recovery Mode hasn't been removed in Jelly Bean has it? I wouldn't think so.

UPDATE: I did get the boot menu to pop up but when selecting Recovery it only showed me the little Android with an "!" in a triangle over his open chest case... and then it opened right back up as it would normally boot.

Anyone have any similar issues with the update? Any fixes if so?

I went through the update this morning. Everything seems to be working okay, however the speech to text option is not working. When I select the microphone I don't get the prompt to start talking. I've gone into settings to see if there's anything there to change, but I don't see anything. Can anyone assist me please?

Oh, you guys are lucky. Had to get them to send me a replacement Razr as mine wouldn't boot after the update. Rep was friendly and apparently handled 20+ calls on the failed update that DAY. Those techs that post the beta updates to the production server should be fired. You need to freaking test your stupid OS updates before you push them. I understand the stockholders are looking for profit but if people are leaving because you keep breaking their stuff then when the company goes under you're the only one to blame. Also since receiving my new phone it's being a pain to set up. Have to do half of it on my account online from my computer as it won't take inputs from my phone.

The JB update was soak tested.

It sounds like your replacement phone has issues also if you cannot set it up from the phone. And as Jim mentioned, the OS updated was tested, so it is not anywhere near "beta" code.

What does that mean?

it may have been tested but it fries phones. my roomate got the ota leak dec 27 and it made her very stock phone fry. I'm seeing many posts across many forums where people are having the same issue. I wont be upgrading because i have no desire to replace my phone.
