To be expected until the phone sorts it's new 'self' out. Give it a few days.

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.

The only thing I really noticed is a huge change in the time my device is awake. But I think that was just a change in how accurate it is

Poor battery life? No. Worse battery life? Yes. It's been a little better since the Play Services silent update last week (well, maybe two weeks ago), but it's still slightly worse than before.

Do you think it will ever have the battery life that it once did? I love this phone mainly because if the battery...

I had the Amazon MP3 app go berserk on me two days ago, took about 25% of my battery life in 3 hours, after I had purchased and downloaded a song. It's been behaving better since, but check for rogue apps.

I'VE had a 25% battery drop off since the update. Also Slacker radio app comes on whenever it feels like it. Plus some other flaky behavior...If I had a chance to upgrade to kit kat again...I would not..

I bet you your problem is kitkat incompatible apps that are draining your battery. Uninstall everything and your problem will vanish. Then you can reinstall one by one.

Agreed. Back to normal for me.

How do I revert back to jelly bean? There's still no improvement on the battery life
