Note 3 Lolipop battery drain

I updated to Lolipop now I can watch the battery percentage drop. I have tried factory resetting twice and same issue...well typing this message the battery has dropped 5 percent. Needs addressed as soon as possible. Phone is now unreliable. Seems slightly better in safe mode. Issue only happens with screen on on idle or sleep its fine....android battery section says it's the android kernel using all the power. This sucks. Want 4.4.4 back at least it was usable.

Same problem here. I regret updating. Who is responsible for the quality control on the updates. Verizon or Samsung?

I fact reset again and then disabled about 60 apps to see if it would help.

It's better but still worse than 4.4.4. Trying to kill the phone now and

recharge to test to see if it helped.

I did allow my battery to drain until the orange indicator showed at the bottom of the battery meter. It did not seem to change the performance. Just sitting on top of my cubicle at work today, the battery went from 94% to 68% in 8 hours. that is just standby drain.
