I haven't.
But something I got into the habit of doing a few days ago is before I put my Note 2 down, I hold the home button down and close all the active apps.
I wonder if this is why I get so much better battery life?
Of course, my Note 2 has always lasted all day since I first got it.

Battery drain is the same. You all just want something to complain about.

I'm not a fan of the new calendar setting that shows the option of day, week, month etc. It takes up screen real estate that's unnecessary. Previously there was an icon switch to bring up those selections; now it's there by default. Nothing in settings to get rid of it

Also, does anyone else notice the font is much larger in messaging than the system font? It looks unusually large. There no font size in messaging settings to change.

Yes. Works for me with my bad eyesight. A bigger place for pics of who you are texting with too.

The wifi notification is there. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

I think you have to enable it in your Settings> Display> Notification Panel.

One thing I have noticed that maybe someone could explain:
When I get a text message and it appears on the lock screen, when I tap the message an outline of a box appears on the bottom of the screen with nothing in it. What is this box for?
Stock 4.3
Stock text app
Nonrooted Note 2

Guys, on 4.3 There is no longer an option to add weather to the lockscreen? Any work around this, without buying a freaking app? Thank you,

You have to swipe to the right from the time and add the widget.

As I said earlier in this thread, I did successfully connect my tablet with Bluetooth, that will give me what I need, without the hotspot. I don't need more than one connection.

New widgets for the Calendar. ..makes it much more useful. Wish you could adjust transparency but I prefer this over the original

You must not have looked in the settings in the camera app to change it.

I did because I recorded several videos for mms so I could send them, but I don't remember those.
