Same issues as everyone described -- with DP device were showing "loading" or "resuming" sometimes (once-twice a day), now every 10-15 minutes. Battery drain also is quite noticeable (about 12-13 hours from full to ~20%) and the phone heats up. Did 3(!!!!) hard rests already incl. one reset by nokia software recovery tool
I am on AT&T's official Cyan/8.1... Seriously considering moving back to 8.0...

Same issues as you with my updated 1520 plus my start screen now shows "loading" or "resuming" at random times. I have had to do myriads of resets since I updated to 8.1. I also have done a reset to factory settings and reloaded all my apps one at a time. It was after that factory reset that my phone started freezing on a regular basis.
My battery life prior to the update was 36 hours easily. Now, I am lucky to make it through the day--16 hours. Of course, I am keeping location on so that I can use Cortanna--otherwise, I cannot voice dial. But before the update, Wifi was always on and Bluetooth was on most of the day.
One thing I noticed, even though the battery saver has the apps barred from running in the background, as soon as I open one of the apps, they again are allowed background usage. With 8.0, you could choose whether they remained blocked or you could choose to turn them back on once you reopened the app.
I left Androids because of battery drain, freezing, and constantly having to tweak the apps. I will leave and go to Blackberry and take my chance with them going defunct. I am too busy to have to play nursemaid to my phone.
I feel like going back to 8.0. I have read that with Nokia you can revert to the older version.
