The stupid keyboard sometimes stays on the screen even after hitting home and hangouts is glitchy at times it does several transitions like popping up and down the keyboard when hitting the space to type.

My battery life on WiFi has gotten much better but on the cell radio, it's just terrible. On NB1, I was getting right around 3 hrs screen on time with LTE, now I'm barely getting 2 hrs. On WiFi, I'm getting 4.5 hrs. A little frustrating when there's no WiFi available.

Battery life has been the biggest issue here since the update to Kitkat . I have a Hyperion Extended battery on my S4 . The thing barely lost battery life no matter how much hell I put the battery through . Since the jump to Kitkat it has been been reduced . Granted the extended battery gets me through the day but even I am feeling the reduction in life .
i didn't use mobile .. next day only i used .. previous update my mobile battery stands near 3.5 days
agree - but I found today phone started acting really sluggish and freezing.
Guess what it turns out to be the damn SD card - it's an old microSD from my epic4g. Took it out and voila - phone is lightning fast.
Moral of the story - sluggish phone? TRy removing the SD CARD
My battery live has decreased pretty dramatically since the kitkat updates. I tried to odin back to stock NB1 and retok the NC1 update but nothing changed. Also swapped batteries thinking maybe the battery had an issue but no change. I hope they release a new update soon that helps with this. Standy uses a little more than JB but when I am on LTE it drains really quickly!
I read somewhere that when you update, you gotta let the kernel settle in for a day or two (maybe more).
NC1 contained a new kernel.
Right now I'm running a custom ROM (but with another base), but the kernel is stock NC1.
Long story short: with power saving mode on and all connectivity off (wi-fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS) off, for 8 hours the thing lost 1% battery.
But, alas, some one hour of browsing on wi-fi, and it fell down to 88%.
Don't ye worry, folks! Graphene batteries will hit the market in several years, and our phones will last a week on a single charge with heavy use, and the charging time itself will be 5 minutes!
(Or at least that's what the science news tells us.

)Terrified Battery Life For Me
Soon AT&T Will Solve This ....
Anyone Giving Same Battery Life
You're complaining about nearly 2 days of battery life with a few hours of screen time? ....... You might want to reconsider what good battery life is. It's not a Nokia 3210.
Yeah You Are Right It's not a Nokia 3210.But Past Update NB1 Kitkat It Stands Nearly 3.5 Days Then Screen Time Is Around 3.5 hours -- 4 hours
But I thought...
From everything I have read about Kitkat it was supposed to increase batter life take less RAM and CPU ect. Kinda like Windows 98 was. I have messed around with it on my PC in the X86 download. Its pretty sweet there but on a High-end 6-Core PC I'm not surprised. Has any one had a positive experience?
When a root method is discovered will it be worth it to upgrade or would you go back if you could.
One recommendation. I haven't used many Samsung Devices as this is my first. However I have use many other and I know when a new OTA comes out if your battery isn't fully charged at the time of update as well as plugged in. You might have caused the battery info to be incorrect. A battery calibration would do the trick. If your don't have root its not the easiest task.
You will have to recharge the phone with the power off. After a full charge power up. Use the phone till it powers down all by itself. Repeat the process 1 to 2 more times. Then your phone should have a calibrated battery.
I don't plan on upgrading at this time so if this helps please let people know.
I have used this on LG's Motorola's and several China Tabs. Some people don't want root but I help them as best I can with there issues.
Good Luck

Anyone get randomly reboot? Sometimes the phone just stopped responding and automatically reboot!!!!
I have witnessed an obvious decrease in battery life.
Also my Google contacts wont sync I get a "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" error. My other Google account syncs just fine.

That's fantastic battery life for this phone in general... let alone any of the baseband versions... I've found on NC1, that I am indeed getting better battery life, and it's a hell of alot snappier as well...
Mind you, I also tweak the snots out of it... for instance, I get rid of all samsung & AT&T bloatware, I get rid of TouchWiz (due to it being such a memory hog.... thus a big battery drainer)
I then go an install Greenify, and Tasker to set a task to hibernate almost everything including most system apps whenever my screen timesout (or I lock it)
I haven't had a chance to really test out how good the battery life is now, due to themeing, getting up to a NC1 Rom, and getting it setup, etc... but once I get a chance I'll post some results

or getting a newer class 10 one

This really isn't a good idea with these batteries, as you can dramatically decrease the battery life overall. They weren't meant for things like this. Instead a better idea would be to root, and find a re-calibrater in the play store... just my opinion.

Those without root... well... get on the ball and root your device

2Nope I think its a defective sd card. Ive seen 2 s4#s have terribe freezing from a bad sd card. Why not just get a spare sd card for testing. Download the photos from old one to pc
Another thing that makes your phone hot I found is a Google Plus backup of photos automatically turn that off especially if not on wifi
