This new kit Kat update has ruined anything good I had to say about the note. My battery drains within hours of heavy use where before I could use it heavy for half a day at least. I walked around from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm did a few searches on maps took a few pictures and had to go back to my room because the battery was completely dead. By a few pictures I mean like 15 maybe. I only had under 40 in two days. This update is terrible keyboard was better previously. If your not forced to do the update don't do it. Verizon blows they take the longest to release and then mess it up and make it a terrible update when all other carriers love the kit Kat update on reviews for note 3. Thanks for having the best coverage highest bills and slowest device and software roll out. Damn shame you can't get it all right for the price you charge.
