One thing I have noticed today is that my battery seems to be discharging quicker with JB - and its not due to playing with the phone more as I'm at work and it just sits on my desk.

Do you need to carry out a full battery discharge when you upgrade the OS?

Yes, I advised that earlier in the thread to recalibrate the battery chip....

Also just noticed the 'swipe up' for Google Notes does not appear to be working, the only way I can get into it is to hold the home button and select it by pressing the 'g' button - anyone else having this issue?

I think that's only for tablet or handsets with no physical home key.

Leave phone on until it turns itself off. Then recharge from a wall charger with phone still off until it reaches 100% in one charge. Unplug charger, then reinsert charger, wait for 100% again then remove charger and battery for 3 mins. Re insert battery and use as normal. Should now be calibrated. The phone will learn this over a period of a couple of weeks but this just speeds up the process.....

Thank you for the tip MI5, it looks like my battery needs recalibrating, it isn't a big deal because I am normally near power, I'm at home today so to speed things up I will run a film on my handset to run down the battery.

OT, how does one use the quote feature on this board please.
