I just ran my battery benchmark and compared it with my previous results. Read about it in my review of the Galaxy Note.

GB: 329mins
ICS: 350mins

It could be that the video player has been optimized.

How much faster? How many hours did you get before and after the upgrade?

How much faster? How many hours did you get before and after the upgrade?

For me Id probably say 50% by lunch or 1pm....whereas with BG I could go all day with the same config......so far I have reduced the screen brightness....enabled power save....and turned of auto sync....to see what the result is.....I charged my battery last night, over night, and when I woke this morning it was 38% only so that was a head scratcher!?

I definately don't get the bench marks you posted.

Full charge would last me 8-10 hours a day from my usage (Gingerbread)
Full charge now lasts me 4-6 hours a day (Ice Cream Sandwich)
As far as I can tell, I'm using the phone exactly the same way with the same settings as I had before.

Just letting my Galaxy Note sit idle for 30 minutes I can see the battery drop 5%

Apparently the same thing is happening with people who got the Galaxy S II LTE ICS update:

I also have no issues with the battery, it's a little better actually (but not by much). I'm sitting at 11h 7m 33s on battery and it's at 66% discharging after light-moderate use.

I see a lot of users who did not do a clean install complain and experience bugs. The users that did a clean install do not experience any real problems and is working fine. I did a clean install and don't experience any issues with it at all. I suggest anyone who is experiencing any problems do a hard wipe and hopefully it will fix things. Problem may stem from old system files not being purged and causing the issues.

Really nice, from where I can install this on my Samsung?

[Dragonstar1967]

I did not do a clean install and I have battery issues. The reason I dis not do that was because nothing suggested that I do that. All previous upgrades I never had any problems.

I have recently reset my phone and reinstalled all my apps. (blech) but my battery life seems better. Time will tell.
