Do you mean from 4.1 to 4.2? I think that's the upgrade that caused some problems for most people.

That's certainly the upgrade that screwed up my Nexus 7: have it random pauses and terrible battery life.

No, in my case the 4.0.* to 4.1.* transition has a lot of impact in the battery life. I've not received the 4.2.* update yet.

Not an android user, but iOS has done this to me before (3.x to 4.0). The solution back then was (try each one successively), restart device, restore device from backup, reinstall and restore data. I'd never had to go to the last level except for whey using beta iOS builds.

I read about that in Android forums also, but some people don't notice changes.

In another note I am impressed with the iPad Mini battery: streaming an Internet radio all the night doesn't consume the battery.

iOS has always been amazingly good for music and (most) video usage for me. It's when I play games that torture the device (SF4 Volt) or use a lot of wireless radio that battery is burned up.
