  1. This has sorted out my battery drain issues. Now at 81% after 5 hours - that's more like it! I used HTC backup to restore everything from googledrive (after its done a backup!). However you'll lose photos (use Flickr to save these) and your whatsapp thread (can be backed up to googledrive first) plus any settings from apps such as Maildroid and Beyondpod so export these and save them to dropbox for restoring later. Wish I'd done this earlier!
