I was really bad about my kit kat update this weekend. I unplugged my Razr M at 6:00 AM on Saturday. Only used the phone for 10 minutes and yet the battery was drained by noon. Same thing happened on Sunday.
After lots of searching I found one posting that solved my problems. No idea if this is the problem for other people.
Go into wifi-settings. Then go through the list of networks that your phone has stored up and click on each one. When the details screen pops up, click the "forget" button. I deleted 20+ wifi profiles leaving only my home wifi and my work wifi in the list.
I also then went into the wi-fi advanced settings and checked on the box labeled "Avoid Poor Connections". I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not.
The day after making these changes, I unplugged my phone at 5:30 AM and at 8:00 PM it still had battery power. Today I unplugged it at 6:00 AM and haven't used it yet. It is now nearly 2:00 PM and my battery is at 68%.
I'm sorry you had so many issues after your software update StevenPortlan. I know this is frustrating but we are here to help. Are you having any issues with any of your apps? If so, I recommend removing them temporarily until this issue is resolved. Have you performed a hard reset on your device? Please keep us posted.

It looks like the OP is having issues with Pre Installed Apps which cannot be removed
About 10 days ago my phone automatically downloaded and installed a new update. In the process, Swype and some other apps were removed and needed to be reinstalled. The UI looks different, that's the main reason I can tell something changed. My battery life is much better now. Strangely, my "About Phone" screen shows Android version 4.4.2 still, with a build date of July 29th. I assume this is a newer build date than I had previously when 4.4.2 gave me such poor battery life.
Correct. the one that was on their had an earlier build date and this was to address some bugs
