The update includes the following:

Remember to download the latest version of Samsung Kies before trying to download the update!

Installed the update Friday. Since then battery life is in the toilet. Took phone off charger 6am. by 650am was down to 62% with no unusual activity. Saw a post about the Facebook app on JB. Uninstalled. Recharged phone. Back off charger and battery stable at 98% 30 minutes off charger.
Any ideas on this?

Not sure about that. I was able to upgrade to ICS successfully without putting it back to factory default. The only difference this time around I believe was Kies.
Anyhow, my old phone was dropped in the mail this morning in exchange for a replacement unit. Am I at least assured that the data stored in my old phone (as opposed to being stored in the SIM and SD cards) will be wiped clean and unrecoverable in the process of ATT recovering and refurbishing it? It was stuck in odin mode which I understand is awaiting download of new firmware, but I'd rather have my data not recoverable if AT&T is going to try and save it and resell or use it as a warranty exchange unit as well.

redhot4400 - No, there used to be an indicator showing how much time was available/left for recording before media was full.

I am curious to know why you say to remove the SD card? Kies documentation states the update to JB can be done with or without the SD or SimCard. I am having problems with Kies getting past the point where it downloads the firmware components. The progress bar stops at 100%. The connected device disappears and Kies.exe goes to not responding. The firmware update dialog box closes and th PC just hangs. There are so many caveats with this whole process of installing Kies and using it to upgrade the Skyrocket. Kies also has a major drain on resources after starting windows and loging in, then settles down. I read horror stories of people attempting upgrade to JB and end up having to get a new device. There should be an ATT certified set of step by step instructions on installing Kies and what options should be used during the installation and step by step instruction on exactly how to upgrade the firmware. I have tried to upgrade to JB on 3 different PCs running XP SP3 with exactly the same results and I see many posts on the forum having the same problem.

Need to re-install your USB drivers if your device is not being recognized or connected, or iff you're being prompted for CWM Recovery, then you must have had that app pre-installed prompting you to recover, so maybe the upgrade did not perform successfully?
