Also the brightness seems just as dark as the usual to me.

Umm dude, you just have to go into camera settings and change the setting for the volume keys
Rockin my LG G2
I noticed something, nothing big. When you power on the phone it does not say 'Powered by Android'. I thought that was required now.

I noticed that too. I was looking for it on KitKat. With Knock Code supposedly coming to the G2 I'm guessing it'll be changed in that update?

It's not there? Damn, I'm skipping this update and waiting until that feature is there!!
OK, so not really I just need something to make waiting for the update to go quicker.

Lol. I know it's not that big of deal. Just wondering why that was left off.

After taking that app off(it was the Macy's app that had a barcode scanner)the battery has held up wonderfully! So I guess that camera bug is alive and well.

I had the same issue with Google Play Music and the "Can't play stream now" bug. Forced closed app, cleared data, uninstalled updates, reinstalled, powered off phone into recovery mode and cleared device cache. Seems to work fine now.
As far as changes, the ability to hold the down volume key to start the camera when the screen is off is gone, now it just controls the volume. Before, if the screen was off, holding volume down would start the camera and volume up would start quick memo I think.

Yep, I just noticed that the difference is playing audio. With audio playing it controls volume, with audio off it works like before. I can't remember if it worked like that before KK or not.
Has anyone experienced a faster battery drain or a lousy connection to Spark/LTE. Before KK I had pretty good battery and a decent Spark connection but now it's constantly searching and draining. I just went ahead and put my network to CDMA. I update profile and PRL and nothing. I know I have coverage. I'm in Fort Worth.

Earlier this morning I was watching an episode of BlazBlue: Alter Memory and my connection reverted to CDMA (stopped the video dead lol). Tried to airplane mode, update the prl, and reboot the phone to reconnect to LTE. Aside from that one occurrence, I have had no problems.
I am finding though that my phone is starting to lock up every now and then. I'll try to unlock and it's like the screen is unresponsive, or a few other instances. Quite annoying, but again. It's tolerable. I see a patch in the future though considering we're supposed to be getting knock code.

I'd give it some time to settle, so to speak. It sounds odd but sometimes after updates, especially bigger ones, there are small network connection issues. I have a strong feeling that the KitKat update re-worked how the phone searches and locks onto bands considering the issues that popped up with the phone not locking onto band 25 in non-spark areas. If you do ##DEBUG# and go into LTE Engineering it'll show what band it's locking onto. If you're flipping pretty constantly between 25/26/41 then I'm willing to bet it either just needs time to figure itself out or you're now connecting to a different tower then before and it might now have all the Spark equipment installed or fully running. Spark and LTE get announced long before the equipment is 100% installed on all the towers in the market so I'd be wiling to be all the Spark cities aren't at 100% completion yet.
If it's doesn't get better in 24/48 hours you can try a hard rest, that'll flush out any gremlins in the system, and see if that helps. I've yet to get the update, but at present the only reason I get onto LTE is because my market just got Band 26 lit up last week. Once I get it I can poke around and see what happens.
After factory data resetting last night battery is way better. Not sure what the deal is but whatever was draining it is gone now.

"google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly"
EEshhh...Since the update, EVERY time I reboot my phone I receive this error message. I'm unrooted, on the KK update, after installed did a factory reset, reinstalled my LG backup. Nothing out of the ordinary. I looked up the usual troubleshooting online and nothing worked. I cleared app preferences, signed out of my Google account and signed back in, disabled and then enabled my download app etc. The only thing I haven't done is do another reset because adding all the pics and data back onto the phone takes so long. Does anyone have any tips or ideas how I can fix this or what is causing it?
