It was recommended to give it 3+ days after upgrade before judging battery use and that before then the uuse will look higher than normal.
I was hoping for a Christmas gift with the update today. Looks like no go for me.
Did you try Settings | About phone | System updates? (I can not test it since I have already installed the update.)

Tired of waiting, I'm considering installing the update myself using the OTA. Directions here on XDA. Anyone done this? Success or trouble?
Currently I am not rooted, although I was prior to the last update. I've certainly flashed my share of ROMS on other devices and used FXZ to get back to stock so that I could flash the last update with success. I never did get prompted to get that update so I lost patience just like I have now.
Thanks for your thoughts.
To add to Thom's list of (slight) differences from JB that I've noticed (I apologize if these have already been reported):
- as probably already noted, there is now a "Tap & Pay" setting which will enable tap and pay with Google Wallet. (I haven't used it; I don't plan to.)
- settings->apps now has a separate page for disabled apps
- settings->apps, "Running" tab used to have a bug where the time running would show the wrong characters when an app was running longer than 100 hours. This is fixed.
- when you press the "home" button while running an app, it acts like you pressed home twice. If you opened an app from one of the other home screens other than your default, when you press home it goes back to the launcher, then it goes back to the default home screen. This must be a bug.
I thought Kit Kat was supposed have a different dialer? I don't see anything different.
Its exclusive to nexus and GPE devices.
You'll have to manually download it (similar to the GPE launcher)
