Go to settings, Connections, location. The most recent apps that used the location service are shown there along with their battery usage.

I've been waiting since December so last month I got it when Telkom Mobile's prices dropped with R50

You waited 4 months to save R 50 ?

I can bet the fun you lost out on these last 4 months without the Note 3, would have been worth many hundreds of rands.

Life is short, if you want something then go get it...

The update has minor changes for the user, but the update is aimed at refactoring the existing code base and some security updates.

Is battery life supposed to be better on KitKat? So far it has been worse than with 4.3
