I've recently got my shiny new Prime (C30), came out of the box with ICS .15 on it with a prompt for an OTA. Rooted first and used Rootkeeper prior to updating.
Apart from the obvious spectacular performance I did notice that WIFI is practically killing the battery, takes even more power than the screen, which is in accordance with reports from other users updating to .21 like myself.
(Edit: for example: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/transformer-prime-help/19825-prime-battery-drain-standby.html)
Another thing I noticed - when entering the advanced WIFI settings menu, the option "Best WIFI Performance" is interestingly missing. On my Sensation I've left it on for a week by mistake only to suffer horrendous battery life with no actual improvement in reception nor speed.
I can't compare to the previous version, but I'm getting the feeling that the "fix" that came with .21 is to enable this option, and keep the user from disabling it.
Can anyone who's running .15 or prior confirm whether that option exists on their tablet? (Settings->Wifi->*click menu*->advanced)
Another question - does anyone know how to manipulate WIFI settings using ADB?
Just wondering if anyone is using PMR, what settings you are using. Never used it before, and just got my LGOG last night, so I am a double noob.
I stayed away from kernel tweaks but tried just about everything else with no problems. Gave some slightly noticeable speed increases in some areas.
quardrant score only went up about 200 fully loaded though.
If you dont know what the script is going to do dont use it. Safest way to go about it. Some have pretty clear explanations.
Edit: The one time i did use kernel tweaks i got bootloops but i think i had them all selected. Download the app from the store so you can download the unpimp zip in case you have problems.
The phone is so damn fast out of the box I would never notice any tweaks I don't think
I noticed that the battery performance is dropped after the latest omate OTA update than before, is anyone also see that? Any one has a solution for That?
I got this update a few days back and its change log is not available, so was wondering if anyone else who got this update saw any changes. Though it seemed like it is hogging less RAM now and seemed smother. Is there any thing else??
So here is the XDA article about the feature drop
June Feature Drop for Google Pixels includes At a Glance improvements, Pocket Operator, and more
The June feature drop for Google Pixel devices is now available, and you can install it on your smartphone. It has a ton of new features.
www.xda-developers.com
And it really does look kind of..... underwhelming? like nothing there is very useful or important at large.
But the update actually brought nice stuff.
Check this article for the main take on the feature drop
June Feature Drop appears to cure most of what ailed Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro units
Most Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users have seen a big improvement in their handsets' cellular connectivity after installing the June Feature Drop.

I myself have noticed improvements in the time to fingerprint unlock, network seems to be faster and more stable in comparison to March, and my network battery usage went down from being around 30% to around 5%!
So all in all I'm happy with this update even though it didn't seem meaningful at the beginning. It makes this phone more fine tuned and worth.
Have you-all noticed any improvements?
Are you feeling it's better then before?
Yes much better. One day in only but noticeable for sure.
The OTA update isn't showing up yet for me.

I used the android flash tool it factory reset my phone but that's not big deal for me I restored my backup from Google one.
I have noticed the fingerprint sensor is working better my phone seems to not get as good reception but the network is also not using 30% anymore it more like 10 or 15 which is still high but where I'm at now doesn't really have great reception to begin with

Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. I'm manually checking for the update, and it's not showing up. I'll try restarting.

I usually wait for the update notification upon checking updates available. This time it didn't seem it was forthcoming anytime soon since my wife's P5 didn't get it either. So I sideloaded it yesterday. It took all of 7 - 10 min from recovery to reboot. Not sure what the delay is but I just didn't feel like waiting for them to do whatever the eff they need to do to release it.

i got my phone yesterday ....love it
I've definitely noticed an improvement in the fingerprint reader. I haven't noticed any different in network - but more so because I am usually on WiFi and generally don't have network issues when I am not.

Yeah, I ended up sideloading it. No issues, and everything feels a little snappier
I sideloaded it Monday afternoon. Wasn't having any issues before and am not having any issues after.
It's a little early to tell, but I think battery life has improved. I ended the day both Monday and Tuesday with a battery that was about 10%-15% higher than usual.
Being able to use music player like neutron working again is brilliant I had the update on Monday about 11pm I'm in uk
i installed June update 2 days ago. not sure if it is the update or battery guru which was installed at the same time, but now my phone ACTUALLY goes into deep sleep (as reported by battery guru)!!
Its always in deep sleep now for around 15/16hrs between charges and battery drain is down to as little as 1% per hr when screen off. Before I could lose around 20/30% from around 10pm (last phone use) until 6.30am when i pick my phone up the following morning.
One thing i am having issue with SINCE the June update is pixel launcher. Im getting errors saying it has stopped working. I Use Lawnchair anyway, but thats not the point. Just before I get the error about pixel launcher, the phone goes really slow.
A restart of the phone hasn't solved the issues and i have also cleared data/cache from the launcher to no avail.
I NEED TO CONNECT MULTIPLE BLUETOOTH DEVICES AT ONCE!
one weird error I have since updating. If I pull down the notification tab as soon as i click a notification, instead of opening it it will lock the screen
Noticed much improved battery life as well. A 2% drop in active usage and much better standby battery drain. Took my phone out of the charger at 1pm yesterday and I'm at 48% as of writing this message the net day at 6:35pm. Moderate active usage between then and now.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that my phone doesn't seem to randomly overheat anymore while casually browsing the web.
EDIT 2:
Phone finally shut down today at 4pm, with around 50hours of total battery life and 6ish hours of screen time. This is probably the single biggest overall battery life improvement I've ever experienced just from installing an update alone on any phone I've owned.
NVM, I found the setting.
Definitely not better here battery or network wise after the June patch.
