Anyone would like to post the first impressions about 4.2.2?
I think the device is definitely colder, or could it be just placebo?

I'm hearing it kills lte connectivity.

I noticed that the entire OS is less jittery. I also noticed transitions and scrolling is much smoother overall.
Anyone else have the same experience?

Everyone always does after a fresh update. From the AOSP changelog, I don't think much work was done in that area.
Bluetooth streaming is working great for me. Was worth the wait!!

Now that I can finally talk about it (lol), the main thing I have found to be different in 4.2.2, is the battery life. I can EASILY make it through a day and have plenty battery remaining. I have had days where my talk time was around 2.5 hours, and my screen time was 2 hrs, and the battery lasted 17 hours. With medium to heavy use, my battery still easily makes it to 15 - 17 hours. A light use day now can easily have the battery last 24 hours. All in all, the update isn't a major change. There are a few things like the battery charging sound and the quick toggles (long press to do it), but overall the most significant thing the update brings is acceptable battery life. Whereas before, battery life was the Nexus 4's weakness, it is now something of a strength. It's also worth noting that the screen sensitivity issue has been addressed too.
I feel the same.

Its not a minor patch, 50MB is big for an incremental update, and it is only contain bug fixes.
When i am on GNex 4.1.2 to 4.2 is 80+MB, and its a huge update, i mean it contain some new features and bug fixes.

Any news about the data not working when the device is idle for a long time? Or is it me the only one who has it??
Edited for what I assume may be better clarity:
Anyone else experiencing the notification dropdown being... slower? Like they smoothed out the animation of it opening, but now it feels like it takes too long. I liked it being quick before. It seems to be fine if you flick further (than usual for me), but if you do just a really quick flick, it's slower. I don't know how to explain it. I mean it acts like "normal" if you pull it down about half way with your thumb as fast as you want before releasing, but.. that flick man!
I LIKE TO FLICK! =[
Edit #2: Now that I think about it, the notifications feel like they open the way they did when 4.1 first launched, because I remembered them being slower then, too. I got used to it then, but having it the way its been for so long, its annoying to go back.
Also, maybe I'm just crazy.

Now it looks laggy in a way. I doubt it's because I have a lot of notifications loaded up because they were there before the update, too, and I had no problems.
Edit: It will now pull down as fast as you pull it down if you manually drag from the top to the bottom of the screen (i.e. using your finger about half of the way instead of just a quick flick). However, the act of flicking the notification tray down to open it, is slower.

Early days, but I appear to get notifications on WiFi even when the screen has been off for a while. That said, my phone has been on charge and I can't remember if that affects it. But hopefully thats been fixed, because it was the only thing that annoyed me.

I have that too. It is pretty annoying. Initially i thought it is the operator coverage problem but i tried my sim to an S3 and it is working flawlessly.
I really hope it is fixed in 4.2.2. Wait for it with croessed fingers.

Used to happen to me on the GNEX ALL THE TIME. On the Nexus 4 it only happened to me a few times, however, and that was near when I got it. I don't think I had the problem at all for the duration of 4.1.2. Strange...
After updating to 4.3, I have noticed that using the stock ROM/Kernel is giving me better battery life than before.
It's equivalent to what I used to get using custom kernels.
Also, I haven't noticed any overheating. At least it is not worse than before for me.
Now before you say "Oh that's complete Wi-Fi use" or w/e. I never got ~ 5 hours of Screen on Time when not on Wi-Fi before either... even w/ PA and Franco and UVing.
With that being said... In my first 24 hours of 4.3 use, I have 5 hours SOT.
Wondering the same thing myself.. to see if its worth flashing 4.3 for the battery life vs losing my custom rom features and adding some annoying things i've seen like constant notifications..
Would appreciate input from people who have already flashed it. Or I could just wait for uxylon to get on 4.3
Going to patiently wait for slimbean 4.3 haha.
Yeah..Battery life is great so far..I started while i had 77% charge left..Still managed to reach 4Hrs sot out of total 23Hrs..

nandroid and try it out since to me all these people are going crazy for something that they are only going to leave once the custom roms start coming out. Must admit I only ran my factory rom for 20 minutes. Waiting is not that big of a deal since my phone runs perfect right now

not saying its not but lets be honest and lets get 3-4 cycles before we dub this as King.... Jus Sayin
So far my battery life is looking almost exactly like it did on stock 4.2.2, which honestly wasn't great, I was lucky to pull 3 hrs screen time. Also I updated with a full wipe fastboot flash.

Mine has been off the charger for 12 hours and is at 28% with only 2 hours of screen on time...not to impressed
Flashed a odexed ROM over the 4.3 leak.
Will try a full wipe and odexed ROM tomorrow.

My battery life seems to have gotten worse. But then again my signal strength hasn't been great today either which doesn't help.

No doubt I'm getting better battery life. Looking like around a 20% increase. I can attribute this to mainly a better cellular signal that I now get. On WiFi battery is roughly the same.

To be frank I'm not seeing much better here than in the "battery impression" thread. Firstly the op has a low score for using WiFi, so I could only imagine his previous experience was even more mediocre, but don't lunge this is just my observation.

i still get 2 hours screen time on hspa, Ive only ever been able to push my nexus 4 to 2.5 hours on an old kernel/rom. I think my batterys a dud
So ever since I got The update my battery life is noticeably worse......has anybody else had this issue?

Mine is considerably worse now. I went into pizza hut tonight with 100% battery. We were in there like an hour and a half and when I checked my phone when leaving it was at 88%. It was in my pocket the entire time.
As I'm typing this I'm at 64% with 4hrs and 3 minutes of very light usage. 1 hr of screen on time...
These posts are just silly and unnecessary. The two of you above me? Our phones are setup completely different, with different apps, syncs, settings, etc.
How long has kitkat been out? Give it a few days. Posts like this pop up with EVERY single android update since android has been around.
My battery life is great - as always.

I have never had any issues with my phones having battery struggle and this is my 5th android phone. That is why I posted the question because it was very bizarre for me not to have great battery life. I was simply asking the question to see if anything has been said about an update or some type of fix other than the typical "battery saving" answers

Have you guys turned off wifi scanning always available? I know that obliterates my N5s battery.

Make sure Google Play Services is updated. Rumors were that there was a bug in the release version causing battery drain.
Give it a few days and then see. I never turn off WiFi or GPS

I experience something interesting after updating to kitkat.
Yesterday morning, I found my Nexus 7 with the update notification. Battery was at 55%, so I have installed the update. I left the Nexus 7 at 50% (updated to kitkat). When I returned home in the evening, the battery was at 47%.
Previously, My nexus 7 could loose from 10-25% in 12 hours of standby.
I just charged up the tablet, to see if the second charge is similar (or if it was a battery calibration glitch).
Battery life while using was similar as before.
Don't tell me that you created a new thread just to tell us how unpredictable battery can be after OTA ?
I'm getting poor battery life as well trying to figure out whats causing it

Im on latest purity with a65 and never got such bad drain. Watching YouTube for 1hour took 30%

Thread closed as battery life depends on users' usage.
I regularly have scenarios like this.
- phone is at 27% battery
- few minutes later it beeps and shows 14%
- 30 seconds later - 5%
- few more seconds and it shuts down.
I don't run anything special and through the day it lowers steady (although 100 to 27 in 12 hours is not that great).
I run official 5.0.1 rom and never unlocked bootloader.
So is it a problem with a phone, the battery or just OS that sucks?
Anyone else having the issue?

Most likely it's the battery. Have you looked to see what is using the battery in settings?

Nothing unusual running. I think Android OS was main battery user, may be with hour and half of screen time.
In this specific instance I was running Toyota app while driving.
But similar things happened before without those factors. And mostly it worked ok in the car as well.

I took it off charger at 7am and drops started around 6pm. It was going down evenly during this time.

Sorry I forgot that was in your OP. Did you look at the battery to see if it was hot or bulging even slightly? Personally for the $15 it takes to get a new battery, I would. Worst case scenario is you end up with a spare. I don't know how old your device (and this your battery) is, but it's not uncommon after 9+ months for them to start dying.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, it probably makes sense to get new battery. I got the phone last November or December but problem started early summer. Seems pretty short time for battery to go bad.
Thank you

It's not unheard of by any stretch. Heat will kill them fast as well. Does the phone ever get hot?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I haven't noticed it being hotter than other phones I used. Yet I carry it in external pouch so would not always feel it.
It definitely wasn't hot when battery was dropping.
More over, last time I turned it off for 3 hours at 14% and when turned it on, drop just continued and it was 5% in 30 seconds.

I got not only a new battery but a new phone and have been experiencing a similar problem. Seriously might just jump ship to the N5. Any suggestions on what else to try? I really don't want to shell out $20 for yet another battery if it's not guaranteed to fix anything. I'm running PopRocks v14 with the stock kernel. Any suggestions?
I had the exact same issue. It was from letting the battery die too often. A new battery fixed the issue 100%
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That's true. Running it down to 1% all the time definitely shortens the life. I'll try to find the article I read that interviewed battery scientists.
