I honestly don't get how user experiences could be so different. I have gone to 8.1 twice now and always wound up at 8.0. Phone overheats, shuts off, battery will drain up to 30-40% an hour etc. One morning I woke up and picked up the device beside my bed and it had been plugged up but actually lost a charge during the night and was burning up. Then whenever I tried to start it or launch apps I would be stuck on a loading screen for roughly 5-10 seconds so I had to restore. There must be some reason it seems to (allegedly) run so well on some Icons and not others?
I am sorry, I am not sure I am buying this.
I have 2 Icons, and neither of them have had these issues.
I have had a couple minor issues that required a hard reset, mainly slowness
But my Wife and I use ours all day long, she actually uses her's more than I do.
I get roughly a day and a half on battery
She get about day.
You need to check your Apps and shut them down.
there are other issues going on there,, I do not believe that it is from the update.
OR, it could be malfuntioning hardware with the update. But htat would be a hardware issue, not the update
If it were the update only, we would all see something similar.
this should not be an issue for Verizon to replace the phone as it would be a warranty issue
But I know they will blame the update itself out of pure laziness.
I have actually reverted back and forth to WP8 several times myself, on both Icons, and still not a single issue with Battery Drain or over heating. And Lag of Apps is virtually non-existent anymore.
