Official 8.1/Denim for the Icon?

As far as I know, there is not any way to do that. You brought up a good point. Many people complain that their battery life "seems" to be worse. I wonder if it is because of how you explained how you've tricked yourself into thinking that your battery life is worse.
Here is my battery life experience from this past Wednesday, when my daughter and I went down to Waikiki Beach and The Honolulu Zoo. I had around 95%(ish) battery. We were there for about four hours or so. I have a camera that is Eye-Fi enabled (Ricoh WG-4 GPS), and I was taking pics with that camera, taking pics and shooting video with my phone, and using my phone as a hotspot to upload the photos from my camera to OneDrive and sharing them on Facebook the entire time. My battery saver kicked in right about the time we were leaving. So I went from approximately 95% down to 20% in about four hours doing all of that. That's not too bad in my book.

I hope cyan has some impact on that, especially with IE and chat, but I doubt it'll do much. I assume the main reason 8.1 uses more battery is that it DOES so much more.

I agree a lot more going on under the hood with the OS and Cortana than with 8.0, in fact I think I have seen posts by 930 users saying that cyan/8.1 didn't have a big effect on battery life so I am not expecting any big changes in that area with cyan, just getting the WiFi issues and power button start up lag sorted out will make me happy

I've always watched my battery usage with a battery app. On 8.1 I had half the battery life as I do on 8.0

Another weak week. That critical update BS could be some sort of indicator of things to come on Tuesday the 28th. Dunno.

Is it bad that I haven't gotten the latest critical update? I keep checking updates and it hasn't popped up for me. Also, ever since I updated the extras+info app it says i am running Denim. I highly doubt I have Denim but that's what it says. There must be a mistake. I am running DP on my Icon btw
Open your Preview for Developers app and deregister and register and check for updates. As for the extras & info, it is a known bug that it erroneously shows up as running Denim. Try doing a soft reset and see what happens.

Hmmm... that IS odd. I'm stumped. Try reinstalling the extras & info app. Did you get the critical update though?

Yes thank you. And also, I did another soft reset for ****s and gigs and now it says Lumia Black in my extras+info. Hopefully we get an official update soon. These weak WiFi issues are starting to bug me. Anyways, thanks for the help. Cheers!

It will continue to be. Except IE, which crashes all the time for me.
But other than that, everything in 8.1.1 works great.

IE itself, no. But when playing video within an application's IE web wrapper, an unusual strain on the processor seems to be present.
Much unlike a noticeably absent announcement regarding a FW update.
