I'm going to give a try and see if Samsung fixed the battery issue. I used to get at least 8.5 hours of screen on time on 4.1.1 and now I'm lucky to get past 6.5 on 4.1.2. Hopefully 4.3 brings some optimization on that end.

FYI Ladies and Gentlemen,

The GS3 crowd has found that attempting to rollback to a previous version of android (such as 4.1.2) can cause brick like symptoms due to the new bootloader that gets installed via official update methods. They found that if you go back to the 4.3 version that you can get the phone back...

They also found that the modem and rom can be installed via recovery once the devs give it their treatment and the old bootloaders stays and works fine.

TreveE and other tethering options either don't work or are not great just yet but there are some options that can be flashed via recovery to get thethering back. They figured out how to get it to work on their device. Might not work for us but it might start the thought process regarding how to get it working. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2553066

I'd bet that their experiences will be repeated with our devices...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
Okay, let me explain. Lol.

First! I used the OTA feature while I was at school so it would update. I didn't understand the consequences of KNOX, so I installed it. After me not enjoying the 4.3 rom, (felt kind of sluggish) I was trying to move back to 4.1.2. While I was trying to flash the 4.1.2 tar file through oden. It failed at the end because of the KNOX feature. So I went and downloaded 4.3 again from the guy that posted the mediafire link. And flashed that through oden. I'm not sure which website he got that tar file from, but it works! Lol.

Worked for me, although I don't think it completely removed Knox. Everything works except Delayed Lock, which can't write to a protected area. Probably should have waited for a deKnoxed ROM, but really wanted to get my Galaxy Gear running, and I can live without Delayed Lock. In fact, the Gear Manager more or less replaces that by disabling pattern lock when Gear is connected.

I successfully upgraded once to 4.3 , but tried Mini 4.4 later, then decided to go back to stock 4.3. Knox is on the phone, but I haven't read a definitive way to remove or bypass it. I haven't tried the Exposed module method yet to fake the device status, and I want to sell this phone as stock.

Several of friends are experiencing the same sluggishness and so are many in this thread. I've had to disable my lockscreen because pressing the home button was unresponsive every time. I've wiped the cache partition and the same sluggishness persists. I might have to do a factory reset or downgrade back to 4.1.2 if possible. I figured Samsung would learn from the whole S3 fiasco but I'm guessing not.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
I've given it two days already. I was one of the first people to download the OTA since i found out @ 2AM on 12/9. I believe its because Samsung basically dirty flashed the OTA update. I wiped everything off my phone and flashed stock, and installed the OTA update. And its still working beautifully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
It's still unacceptable on behalf of Samsung's part. Users shouldn't have to resort to wiping their phones in preparation for an update. Samsung's really inconsistent with their updates. Their second 4.1.2 OTA on July killed my battery life, from 10 hours of screen on time to 7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
I'm pretty sure, that if the phone wasn't on a different rom, you wouldn't have to wipe it. Lets just say it like this, You're on tweaked rom, and you don't want to use it anymore, so you download Jedi. Dirty flash it etc, you're obviously going to have lag, FC's, etc. That's basically what's happening right now, since I'm pretty sure you were on a different rom other than pure stock.

i like to think of it this way: after getting a new coat of paint or a new clearcoat put on my car, i'm still going to wash it before i put a new coat of wax on.

even when installing NANDroms on my trusty old HD2, the devs always suggested to do a wipe (still keeping the newly installed OS intact). there's always room for byte-sized dust bunnies still lingering and causing troublesome issues. you have to to look for them.
