      I just bought the Galaxy Nexus and gave my Nexus S to my wife after updating to the 4.0.3 official ROM on manually. I had a play with it for a while and the battery life didn't seem much different. I have heard rumours that NFC was causing some battery issues. Its interesting to see that my Galaxy Nexus is running 4.0.2 and my Nexus S is on 4.0.3.

                I noticed improved battery life, especially with 3g on. There are some animation transition lags. Call list takes to long to load. Also a weird case... there's a conflict with skype and audio calls. After a while skype blocks regular calls.

                        Huh? What battery life problems? Been using my Nexus S 4.0.3 for a few days now and if not anything, I'm observing improved battery life! Is that a bug too?
