I've had a Note 3 since the first day they've been available. I took the KitKat update when it came out. I saw poorer LTE connectivity as a result. I tried everything including a factory reset. Nothing seemed to help. I couldn't get LTE at all in the gym, sometimes no data connection whatsoever. I had to sign onto the gym's wifi to do anything.
Recently my Note 3's proximity sensor stopped working. It wasn't critical but it was an annoyance. It's a company phone so I had it replaced yesterday with a new Note 3. The new Note was on 4.3 Jelly Bean. Woohoo, I thought, I'm going to stay there. However, within 10 minutes of use I started getting the upgrade notice. I could push it away but it popped up every couple of minutes. The phone wasn't useful with this annoying popup screen. I looked everywhere to see if I could eliminate that message. It appears that rooting was the only way to get rid of that popup message, something I didn't want to do.
So, to my dismay, I took the KitKat updae, figuring it was inevitable. When I went to the gym last night I had to sheepishly ask them for the wifi password again. However, as it turns out, I didn't need it. I get 3 bars of LTE goodness while in the gym now. And, better LTE everywhere else. So, it would seem, that the trouble with LTE wasn't KitKat, it was with the phone itself. So far it's only been a day but I'm a very happy camper.
