Anybody having problems with there TP-1010 chargers after updating there firmware to 2.3a ? It seams that since it was updated I didn't get a full charge ! I was flying for 6min with no noticeable drop in head speed, and without braking the 80% rule, now it’ 5min 30sec, and with drop in head speed, and putting back in 4250mAh (TP 6s 5000mAh) the 4250mAh numbers came from my Astroflight 109 charger that I started to use, trying to find out the problem with the packs.
anybody else having the same issues ?

Check that you have it set to do a full charge, one of the options is to charge 95%.

You have to remember the mah displayed includes losses from heat, resistance and mah used to balance the pack.

Are you sure the charge is set to 100% and not a 95% quick charge?? What's the cell voltage once it's done? Should be close to 4.2v/cell. Just for giggles, let the pack sit for 30 mins or so and hit it with a 1A (not 1C) charge and see how many more mah it takes and what that does to the cell voltage.
