Depends on what you are turning off. Sync, display brightness, 4g radio, and WiFi are the battery killers

Google search trial now finds your Gmail receipts, hotel and restaurant reservations

sign up here--https://www.google.com/experimental/gmailfieldtrial

Google has expanded its Gmail search integration to cover selected receipts, events, hotels, and restaurant bookings. The new features are available to anyone participating in Google's field trial, and add to the recently announced flight tracker, Drive, and email search features.

Just as Google demonstrated with its flight tracker feature back in August, the new additions to the field trial are triggered by simple search terms like "my purchases," "my hotel reservations," or "my events." Google will then pull the relevant information from your Gmail account and display it in a box above or to the right of your search results. The new features are available only to users that live in the US with gmail.com addresses, but if you meet the criteria you can sign up here.

Android was not designed to be updated like iOS, but good luck getting everyone on board with that idea

The Slow history of Android handset updates

HTC fared the best when it came to updating its devices, with an average time of 4.8 months, although Samsung’s updating schedule dramatically improved with its Galaxy S III smartphone, which was updated in an average of four and a half months. Overall the company updated its devices in an average of 6.9 months, better than Motorola and LG, which averaged 8.6 months and 11.8 months, respectively. Motorola does not plan to update the DROID 3, Atrix 4G and Photon 4G, however, which is a reason for concern.

On the carrier side of things, T-Mobile was found to be the most reliable with an average time of 5.8 months for updating devices. Sprint is the second best with an average of 6.5 months and unsurprisingly AT&T and Verizon are found at the bottom of the pack with average times of 7.8 months and 8 months, respectively.

In the end, if you are looking for a smartphone that will always be up-to-date with the latest version of Android, a Nexus device is your best bet. The unlocked version of the Galaxy Nexus receives its updates directly from Google, while the Sprint and Verizon variants experienced an average update time of only 2.5 months.
