Did a battery calibration with an app, seems to have fixed it.

Since the update, when I use my camera, everything on the screen is upside down.
I have the same issue. Only mine comes and goes. Certain apps I have stored on my sd card now have no icon just a black area that you can barely read showing sim card error
You would think they would test this software update to make sure it works ok instead of messing up a great phone.

Just to let everyone know...
I got the KitKat update on my Verizon S4 the days after they released it. My phone was fine...everything worked as expected, except for my signal strength. It fluctuated allot. So...I did the right thing and factory reset twice to realign the radios. After I completed that. I toggled thru all the options in the network service section between gsm..lte...global. noticed then that there was an issue with the tower by my house. I completely reflashed my device and proceeded to do the toggle once more. After all the work...my phone runs the way it used too! Fast...battery life is slightly better..charges faster! The issues allot of you are dealing with is allot to do with the SDCard security. If you just redo your phone and back everything up you would be fine! It takes me a solid day to reset a device and reload everything back on to it, but in the end...fixes so much! I would say education in this area is a big deal, and encourage all to attain good cell phone practices!
As a side note, yes there are bugs..most of them are trivial. We would like them to fix them....But they make no money off of this that the corporations can tell...
So...Backup, Reflash, Reset, and Restore!
And enjoy the outcome! You might be surprised! Even a computer needs a fresh load of the operating system at times! Your phone is no different!
Happy phones to you all!

I stated to reflash the device using a computer. Not reset in the os. This will rewrite all the phone and fix many issues. Thanks for your attention to detail. Before reading or trying it!

Had issues...problem is with the radio...factory reset to correct the issue
Yes! Lots of trouble. Having already reset once, still having issues. Funny thing is I could always text when no coverage, now can make plenty of calls in low coverage areas but can't send texts. Reboot phone and will work for several texts then stop sending them again. I have also noticed decreased battery life, not much, but noticeable. Can't access SD card like many of you.
I have been having issues ever since update with sending messages. I also frequently miss calls and end up with notification of a new voice mail.
Verizon replaced my SIM card and it slightly helped, but my phone isn't the same since the update. I had done a hard reset after the update and that didn't help things at all.
I loved my phone before, but it is very frustrating now.
