Default Switched from .938 back to .714
And so far I'm liking it more. .938 was great, but my battery seemed much less, right now my battery life on .714 is bad but battery life always seems worst to me right after switching OS's. But I actually think the browser is "snappier" on .714. There is much less lag in the final loading of a page. I'll give it a week or two and make a more proper comparison on battery life and loading speed.

If that doesn't work, stick with .862.

Well I can with confidence after two days that I have much better battery life on .714. At this point in time I have 59% battery life whereas with the same usage on .938 I would be at about 35-40%. Browser is the same, I think it's just slightly "snappier" after an OS change, but before long they're all the same.

don't forget that it takes 2 days for the battery to settle in with a new OS.

I was using 714 when I had my 9700 and loved everything about it starting from battery life to reception quality.
You might wanna try 680 if you still had low battery issues
