Completely stock unrooted Nexus 4. Just upgraded to 4.4.3 via OTA a few days ago.

Charging via USB from a computer (as opposed to a wall outlet) now doesn't work right. It always used to take longer since there was less current available, but now it doesn't work at all. If the phone is on, it will actually lose power rather than charge over time when hooked to the PC. If the phone is off, it will charge, but WAY WAY slow, left mine hooked up to my laptop all night (~7 hours) and it only went from 10% to 60%, whereas previously it would have been fully charged in maybe 3-4 hours.

I found the issue. Shortly after I updated Android, I updated my Good For Enterprise app for my work email. So long as Good is running in persistent mode, the phone will not charge via USB and the battery drains wicked fast (basically two sides of the same problem). Shutdown Good and everything works fine. God I hate Good.
