For me my battery life improved dramatically since switching to Cyanogenmod. I think it's a major issue with Samsungs 4.4 ROM. The Galaxy Note 2 users are reporting the exact same issue now it's hit them.
Got a tip for us?

Last few days on Kitkat have been horrid for me. Intitally everything was smooth sailing now I'm getting more force closes, screen becoming unresponsive in certain apps whereby I have to close them out in task manager and start over again and worst of all is the battery drain. Android System is having a frigging brunch on my Note 3.
Uggg ... This is so frustrating. I just want to go back to Jelly Bean where everything was peaches and cream. I literally had zero issues.

This was actually the worst thing that could have happened to me. I wish they would have kept their update and flushed it down the loo.

Holy crap, the Verizon Note 3 KitKat OTA came today! This is the most unbelievable thing to happen to me in some time, I thought for sure we'd never receive KitKat on this phone!

Bugger. But is this only limited to downgrading with Odin? Can you still load any firmware you want e.g. with ClockworkMod?
I don't think so but I only talk in experience with the exynos note 3.
Xda is the place to research
I'm sure it's possible with root but I shouldn't have too. I think I'll try a factory reset first and see what that does.
Battery already down to 71% and I've barely even used my phone today. Android System still the biggest culprit at 32%
Well mine is normally on 25-28%
Snd still get over 1 day usage. You tried downloading battery doctor? And fast reboot
Have you turned off Location Reporting and Keep History in Location services?
It is reset to on when google services gets an update.
Thanks, I'll try this as well. At this point anything should help I guess.
FYI, both settings were on.
What does your battery info say? It is not normal to drop so much.
For me on standby it drops about 0.5 to 1 percent per hour. 13 to 15 percent drop per hour with screen on. On Lte.
Mine drops about 1.5 per hour I reckon in standby. Depends on the signal.

Try another battery. See if it is just the battery.
