new upgrade software using up battery

[gonzo8908]

I would like to know, with the new software update on my droid x my battery life has decreased dramatically. does any body have any idea as to why the software is using up the battery?

Check your battery usage under settings. It's probably the display or an app using a lot of it.

Mine is doing the same thing and there is a new symbol in the status bar ....  looks like it is always working but I can't find anything that is on that wasn't on before!

What does the symbol look like?

Yes, please open the notification bar and advised what the symbol looks like. This way I can better determine what you are experiencing.

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I would like to add that the software updates do reset the power and wireless settings in the phone, so these may have to be re-adjusted in order to preserve battery life.

Thanks!
