try a reboot and delete the cache, if still not working you can try to delete google search data (but I'm not sure this is safe for the OS)

[Q] Power usage

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the info i have found so far has been unsatisfactory. in the power usage app there is an entry "android os" which doesnt detail what it is...it uses quite a bit of my battery and I'd like to know what it is and how to fix it
Is it the same one that says android system in this screen shot? If you click on it it tells you what is included there.

Disable LTE for Verizon Sg3?

Is there any way to do this? I go to the setting where it normally would be under wireless and networks/mobile networks but I dont see an option to go 3g only to conserve battery life. Anyone know of a workaround?

It works for me. I am rooted but su didn't ask for permission to run so I think you can run it stock.

You need to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It's not an uncommon problem
Edit, here's the thread you saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064

I'm confused as to how you missed it. It's definitely apart of Kit Kat.

Only the top notification is expanded by default. That 'top' notification is being used by your toggles.
Just hold you in call notification and pull down. It should show the hangup button.

Ok I'm sure many others use Tapatalk pro and got today's update. I have mine (probably so do most) set to 'subscribed' to show first. But it no longer highlights the forums in black... Do i have to change anything now or is it a bug? As if i go into the forum it shows the topics as black unread still

Nope mine is fine.
And please post that in Q&A forum. Thanks.

The only way I could fix this issue was by uninstalling, and reinstalling the new update from the Play Store. Bit of a pain but it got things back to normal for me personally.
