It seemed to take a long time after downloading (5+ minutes?), but it seems Ok. A bunch of other stuff is downloading now too...
I'll post more if I have any issues tonight.
Cheers,
Scott.

I just did that as well.
And I need to post a correction. My battery wasn't actually dying. It just appeared so. If I leave the phone unused, but still turned on overnight, sometimes in the morning the device doesn't come on when I tap the power button. If I hold the power button on for about 30 seconds I observe one of two behaviors after that interval: (1) If I have the phone plugged into a charger, the indicator light comes on solid red. I lift up on the power button when it does that and the solid red blinks a few times. Then the battery charge symbol appears (like it does normally when turned off and plugged into a charger). It is almost fully charged when this happens, typically around 75%. I can then either leave it charging or hold the power button long enough to boot it up and all is well. (2) If it is not plugged into a charger, the indicator light begins to flash white and then the device boots up properly, again, with about a 75% charge. I'm going to have to RTFM, but it looks like inactivity is causing the device to go into something that looks like a "deep sleep" state. |

Oh, they're trying that again?
I had a few adventures with my tablet through the Android 3.x series where it would go into "deep sleep" if left overnight. There were three OS updates almost once a month from Asus until they made that "feature" Go Away. I'm speculating wildly but it sounds like someone in Google-land loves "deep sleep" in Android and how it improves battery life, thus why it's back. Unfortuately they don't understand why the great unwashed don't Get It. Such a person likely has atypical Android usage and hasn't had that fact hammered into their head yet. Wade.

The battery life on mine seems much improved.

A wall charger will charge it faster than USB.
