Initially i had problem of rebooting automatically, WiFi not connecting and lock button not working but after staring in safe mode and doing restart, all problems gone.. Now its working smoothly and better than 4.3, no battery issue at all.
To start ur phone in safe mode
Restart ur phone & press volume down key while rebooting.

    Just Remove sim card and memory card, restart your phone again. It will show "Phone Updated Successfully".

    It worked for me.

                                Hey I had the the same problem.My phone was restarting after every 2 mins. But the problem is resolved after I started my phone in SAFE mode. To enter into Safe mode - just after restarting your phonen it displays The makers name and name of the phone model just keep pressing volume down key until it shows home screen. Your phone's Down left corner will have small black strip that reads Safe Mode. Then it will display a message that phone upgraded successfully. Then see if it is running smoothly. After that you can restart your phone as you do normally. It helped me wish it'll help you all. Be ready to enjoy KITKAT. Have a good day.

                                      I tried one more thing here.. remove one sim card and microSd card.. and restart the phone..
                                      Then you will get the message device successfully updated.
                                      It works properly..
                                      Now insert sim card again and memeory card again..
                                      It working for me Now.
                                      I think Samsung has release this build for Grand Single sim version..
