Two options
1. Enjoy 4.3 battery life
or
2. Downgrade to 4.1.2 and have good battery life
I did number 2 and i'm loving it. I don't need 4.3, it's just a number. More ****-ups than good things in the update

M on 4.3 ml4 n people say it cant be downgraded

my batter life is pretty good on 4.3. Do a factory reset ASAP. Its a new phone so u wont any significant data anyway.
Secondly a lot depends on how u use your phone. Install du battery saver and go through the tips to save battery. It has helped me a lot.

I hv installed battery doctor

For me, on the N7105, the standby battery drain is MUCH MUCH MUCH better on 4.3. I tried every solution under the sun with 4.1.2 and the standby times were utter cack when WiFi was connected.
Was looking forward to selling it until I upgraded. There was a serious problem with 4.1.2 on certain WiFi networks.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but im not getting answers anywhere else..
Im on 3uk, and the 4.3 update hasn't been pushed by them yet
If I use odin to flash a different carrier (eg . Vodafone ) from Sammobile, will it still work?
Im not quite ready to root yet but im getting slightly impatient.
Thanks

If u are averse to rooting then i would suggest you to wait. If 4.1.2 isnt creating any problems then why are you in a hurry? There's no major overhaul in 4.3 anyway. Sure they have tweked a few things, but it still is jelly bean.

Still with Android 4.1.1 (software update is disabled) and Note 2 is very smooth, battery performance never let me down.
Go to Settings + Application manager + All + disable all the apps and other bloatware you do not use or simply don't need (KNOX, also if you do not need).

Rooted, I use BetterBatteryStats to identify culprits (causing wakelocks).

The 4.3 is definitely not too stable. Once in a while, I will see a battery drain and if I check in the battery graph, I will see that Android OS will have Stay awake at long hours like 5 to 7 hours even though screen on time is only 1hour plus. Normally I have to restart to stop this. Oh well..

no, you have bad media file (music, video or picture) on your SD card.
Guys, let me ask you a question.
Which one would you chose, considering battery life? (battery, a very important thing for me).
GT-9500 or GT-9505?
That is not a question! Get the octa core! the 9500!
Ok, i am waiting for opinions.
I am more likely to buy the octa core version but, from the feedback i've read on the forum it overheats a lot, and the battery is not so great.

This is my first Droid so i dont know the implications of Hard Reseting my device. Will it remove the Bloatware from my service provider? Is there a way to retrieve the apps and settings and stuff after hard reset that after hard reseting it, it doesnt feel like i did a hard reset?
Settings --> Accounts --> Backup&Reset --> Factory reset
No, it won't remove any of the bloatware, but our forum members have said that it will help with battery life and overheating problems.
The bloatware can be removed only by rooting the phone.

Yes.
Except for mediaserver your numbers are normal and you should expect screen to take that percentage or even somewhat more. In the 40 percent range is quite typical and expected. The one poster was correct, find out what is keeping mediaserver lit up.

[Q] Those who are now on KitKat (TouchWiz) any regrets?

It's been eating at me since ROMs started coming out for KitKat whether I should upgrade to it or not. I'm quite happy with my 4.3 Custom Roms and CM11 Roms. The only thing I dont like about the CM11 is the bad sound and the obvious lack of note 3 specific features such as one handed mode and S-Pen and S-Note.
I can't get it out of my head and I would like to hear some feedback for people who already upgraded to Samsung's KitKat.
What are the main issues with most roms right now? Any regrets being in the new bootloader? Worth it?
Should I be a bit more patient and give DEVS more time to master 4.4?
For those that don't know when you upgrade to the new bootloader to try and install KitKat roms you cannot revert to the previous one so hence cannot flash 4.3 roms or AOSP roms.
(AFAIK only the Mexican Note 3 or Canadian I think have a way to go back or install 4.3 roms after going to the new bootleader)

I don't know what others are experiencing at the moment - but I recently flashed Kit Kat and the only problem I seem to be having is that the WIFI will periodically disconnect for 5 second intervals about 10 times an hour. Other than that nothing else is a problem
I do really enjoy the new galaxy s voice. But mind you - I havent installed a custom rom yet
satisfied with kitkat.. no regret

i heard it brakes compatibility with call recording software.
4.3 is stable enough for my liking.
BUMP
Call recording doesn't work and the camera is worse, I have flickering lines on my camera which I never had. But the phone is super fast and the battery is a great improvement. I wouldn't say you need to be on kit Kat if you are happy on 4.3....but the Poland firmware is obviously a test firmware.... So when all regions get it... Should be much better.

On aosp kitkat I'm running acid audio engine with great results!
I actually love the battery life on Kitkat... I have removed both Note 3's, sporting JB and Kitkat from power at the same time. I've been using the Kitkat phone all day making calls, sms'ing and other various things not to mention the auto updates...
Both phones have the same setup and syncing but the Kitkat phone which is being used has more power than JB phone which has sat on my bed all day long doing what it wants and not being used. It's down to 78% over about 11 hours. The Kiktkat one is at 86% ad has been used all day.
That's brilliant as far as I'm concerned...

Thats interesting, you never had flickering before you updated?

Apparently the Balitic now has 4.4.2 firmware, according to Sammobile... Its the same build though...
Well I would say the only regret is missing the ability to flash 4.3 ROMs and CM. Otherwise seems smoother and faster. So if you do like the TW features I would suggest upgrading.
Been upgraded for a couple of days know, busting my head around how to revert back to CM but I realized putting CM is not very productive when you think about it. The 4.4 stock ROM is damn fast so the only difference I'm seeing is in RAM Usage (stock ROM using much more ram naturally), but does it really matter on a device with 3GBs of Ram? I've never once been close to hitting that mark.. You do get all the S Pen features and stuff that probably made you buy the device in the first place.
So basically:
TW pluses
no bugs
S Pen and other features
CM pluses
no bloat
more customization options and annoyances fixed that should've been there in the first place.

Who's service do you use and which modem or radio do you have loaded. I have wind in Vancouver which does not use LTE but wonder if a different radio will allow me to use LTE from another carrier ie. say Rogers if I am out of coverage area of Wind. I notice with the stock Samsung software and Wind in Vancouver if I loose signal it sometimes does not automatically log back in even though I am within coverage area. My only complaint so far.

The camera needs more than five seconds to start up, the battery lasts a day in best case scenario and most important is the heating issue.

I did. Maybe a little better battery life than BNF2. I noticed that it charges up to 95% and then stops charging. I'm going to take the battery down all the way then recharge see if that has any effect. Other than that, I haven't noticed any difference.

I updated mine. My wifi issues are now gone. Thank goodness. I got a new kid mode, got multi user mode, and it uped my antutu x score almost 1000 points. It did however stopped all my apps from changing anything on the sd card. That includes moving stuff there or to the internal storage. I did get the stock filemanger to do it but none if my dowloaded apps work. So mx player won't delete movies or change names, my file manger that I had been busing no longer works with the sd card and so on. Not a big deal since the stock samsung apps still have the ability. I did have to turn of the device and turn it back on after the update to get that to work though. Not that much of a big deal

I'm at 7:30 into depleting the battery. Heavy use and leaving the screen on and I'm only down to 57%. At this rate, I will wear out before the battery. I can definitely say that BNF3 has much better battery life than BNF2 did.

Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 SM-T320 KOO T320KXU1ANF2 Android 4.4.2 23.06.2014 2015017
Also anyone know what KOO means what happens when you install it since all the sites say Region unknown.
I just updated this morning to NF3. Don't know what it did but everything is working like it's supposed to

Ok cool I will give it a shot not sure why most sites have NF2 being newer than NF3 but I will try NF3.
Have updated to NF3 too. Nothing to see except for kidsmode. ...

Can you root it? Did you preserve root?

© «Get best battery life & screen touch fix - EUROPEAN 815 only»

For information...
I installed the latest c firmware (d in build prop) with LG flash tool (NOT UPGRADE), a CLEAN install.
wiped(factory reset) before flashing, then in flash tool cleared and made a CLEAN install and factory reset after to be safe (3 resets) .
Now I get very few screen misses, and screen on time 4.5 hours.
Before this I got screen on time maximum 2,5 hours.
Just wanted to let you guys/Girls in on this as it worked perfect for me and my wife.
Thanks for the placebo

Think I've been around enough to make an accurate judgement, add I'm an recognised developer, I made a hell of a lot of mods and ROM's all developed for two things only battery life with good speed.
You don't have to believe me, what matters is for me, add I got a much better phone.
Hi smaberg,
I was wondering if you are on the Euro 815 version of the G4? Based on your post I'm guessing you are? As a guy who knows what he/she is doing, I was wondering if you could make a flashable zip of the version d firmware? I have a mac and my understanding is you need a pc for the LG flash tool?
Figured I would ask and would greatly appreciate if you could help!!
Do you have the same set of apps installed as you did before the firmware and resets?
I saw better battery results on my second G4 vs my first, some of which I assume was because I installed a lot less apps on the second unit. Which seems reasonable to me.
What device is the OP using?

I'm on international 815 (Euro).
Still using the exact same apps(didn't use LG backup Restore as it brings back the old draining Barry problem from my old backup).
And NO I can't make an zip, as it would skip some important steps. I mean I can make it, NO problem, but then you will end up with the exact same problem add the old.
hey Smaberg, can you outline the step to flash the new version? I'm using 815, but since i'm residing in Asia, my phone is not seeing any upgrades.
Yeah i also like to get exact steps you made to flash

lol at 3 factory resets..just makes me want to skip the whole ordeal
it's 2015 and google (+manufacturers) still can't get their **** together even when using the most powerful hardware available
android 5.x has been utter failure imo.
@smaberg, 4.5 hrs screenon is nothing to be specially proud on, yesterday i had 6hrs with 12.5hrs on battery. Device is H815 and firmware is v10c howecer, i got my device on saturday and did just root it this night... we will see how it behaves now.

Me too, but I did one before flash, one with the flash tool as I chose to make a CLEAN install, and the last mostly to be sure.

I know, but compared to before, with only 2 hours, sometimes even less worth stock a and b I'm pretty ☺ happy, now I'm going to deactivate some junk and see the results, and when I'm done I'll share it.
I'm trying to get the best battery without root, then with root and some of mine scripts and files mod. And we'll see where we stand. In the end maybe an ROM pure made for battery as in the old days. If some still want this? I thought/think people mostly want bling bling and speed...

Hi,
I would definitely be interested in a battery life based ROM. I find that premium phones have more than enough power you need (if youre not a gamer) so as long as the UI is smooth battery life is more important to me.
Regards,
Ravi
Only used 4% battery and got this screen on time. With everything on.

That's weird, you have the economy saver logo activated but still have 62% of battery life...

You can turn it on manually which some people do to prolong battery life rather than just when on low battery.

Correct I have it on pretty much all the time. It doesn't effect anything I do on the phone and I get a lot better battery life as you can see combined with the use of App Ops, DisableService, and greenify
