Hi guys,
I'm about to lose right now concerning this issue. I've had my International Version Galaxy S4 since mid July and it was all candy and heaven, until devil 4.3.3 version came up. I upgraded my phone via OTA. From that moment i have had the most obnoxious and stupid battery drain ever. my phone wont go to sleep mode and discharges over 50% in 8 hours overnight.
I called TechSup bur obviously they didnt do **** to help me, so i installed Gsam a few days ago and this is what happened (check the attachments)
Well. Without further ado, I present to you my stupid phone.:crying:
Great day everyone!
Ur phone suffers from wakelock issues which keeps your phone awake. Only way to combat this is flashing a different ROM (different KERNEL) onto your phone.

You get better info with three battery setting screenshots (little graph with main consumption processes, big graph tapping over little graph with partial wakelocks and other states, and screen total time on), please, post them.
Usually your problem can be fixed by over flashing same rom with Odin 3.09 (no data losing)

I had this drain in my old S2 when I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1.. So to get rid of it, simply format your data (you can backup the apps u want via helium or any backup app)

Hi, I didnt post them because they didnt showed anything important. Android OS consumed 89% of the battery follow by gpsd with 9%. Screen is not even listed since i left it overnight with 100% battery charge. But i will post mentioned screenshot in a while after 8 hours of no using the phone.
Thx for your help, i really appreciate it
Did it already

Hi! would this void my S4 warranty? IF NOT, is there a tutorial you recommend for doing this? sounds like i might brick my phone
Thank you for your time!

Since you made full wipe then you must try another rom and kernel (yes you will void warranty if you have knox) ...

I am not really sure if he just flash a different Samsung stock 4.3 Rom warranty bit will increase... I think NOT as I read in some forums, but not sure at all because I am root since beginning 4.3 with 0x1...

I wrote "try another rom and kernel" so you know flashing a kernel will absolutely increase the knox flag..

Your problem seems similar to mine but in a bigger scale, you find more info at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557164
Right now the suggestion I have was given by the user maanz "L"
U might want to go to Google play store and select "do not auto updates".
Another thing to check is; got to Settings/MyDevice/Accessibility and unchecked Notification Reminder.
Next is; go to Google Settings app, open Android Device Manager and uncheck "Remotely report this device".
Reboot after making these changes and check BBS app after 4 hours.
Hope that these could bring down the high Android OS and phone awake.

He didn't need to google it.All the forum is written that can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.If some one look's at his profile he had only one post.He create his acount only for asking this.Is too hard to search and look for him.This post must be deleted by a moderator.

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the NFC is not working at all!
When I got my device it was running stock 4.3 Jellybean and the NFC was working perfectly. I then updated to 4.4.2 KitKat using the unofficial polish rom, after installing this the NFC stopped working. Because I updated the phone before the official UK KitKat was released i couldn't downgrade to 4.3 to try and get NFC working again(cant downgrade because of bootloaders . I have since installed the stock UK 4.4.2 H3G KitKat rom and this issue has still not been resolved. I have tried numerous batteries (the battery is the nfc aerial) and yes I have double checked to see if the NFC was turned on :laugh: but its greyed out and i cant do anything with it. Any help would be much appreciated
Anyone? I really need this issue resolved :crying:
Try another battery maybe as the nfc antenna is in the battery I believe.

I have tried multiple genuine samsung batteries
Tried DATA wipe and cache clean
Hi,
I have exatly same problem .
I had Nigerian rom i changed to India for 4.4.2 and bam no NFC. Changed again to Nigerian 4.4.2 still no NFC .
Tried another stock battery .
Data wipe / ccahe reset . all solutions.
I am practically lost . How hard can it be to get one NFC working .
The other possibility is I ordered the replacement battery from US . May be the replacement battery caused some problem ?
In any case desperately searching answers as normally the NFC is draining 20 % of my daily use in battery drain

Well i have a friend that just today he recived hes n900 from repair center, he had the same problem as you, acording to info provided by samsung, it was a software issue and they just reloaded the software, so you could just try flashing a stock rom, or just send the phone to repair.
And it's forbidden to bump up a thread in less than 24 hours.
Do you think people are just sitting here waiting to answer questions ? :sly:

Get a stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and flash it using Odin 3.09. There are instructions on the site when you find the right device. Type the exact model number in the Search bar "Search device here.."

Tonight I installed KitKat 4.4.4 (tried 2 different 4.4.4 roms) on an i9505 which was previously running jelly bean (stock, touchwiz).
The phone network keeps disconnecting on it. If I go into wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/network operators and select my provider through there, it will connect and work fine for a while, but will then disconnect itself again randomly. The IMEI is all fine. This is the first time i've really been stuck with a problem, and i've been flashing roms on multiple phones for a long time.
Why would it be working, but keep disconnecting itself? So annoying..
Anyone able to give me some help here please? Would really be much appreciated, thanks..
Just thought....
My mate whose phone it is has gone away so I won't be able to try this until tomorrow, but maybe it's not a UK baseband on it..
I'm sure I've used basebands before though that weren't specifically for my country on other galaxy phones, but it's a good possibility do you think? I didn't think it could cause that, until now..
I can't believe I never thought of trying that at the time, I'll find out if that is the problem tomorrow.
Solved!!
For anyone experiencing the same problem...
Flash a baseband which is specifically for your country with Odin - WITH AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED
take battery out. Boot into download mode. Flash the same baseband again. For some reason if you only flash it once and leave reboot checked it doesn't work.
Phone will boot, and you will find that the problem is fixed.
Hope this helps someone else avoid the **** that I encountered.
Thanks!

Nice to see this thread has helped a few people.
I was scratching my head for a while with that problem, and I'd consider myself pretty experienced with android and flashing ROMs.
I was searching the net, and I found forum posts of people saying they had the same problem, I even found posts that said SOLVED!!! in them, with no explanation as to how it was solved lol. Great help.
Anyways, peace all.
And 1eyedmonster, just gimme a shout if you want the one I used and I'll send you it, or pm me your gmail add, whatever..

It was this issue that has stopped me from flashing aosp and cm 11 in the past as as soon as I booted and set up my apps I would lose signal and would have to aeroplane mode on and off before I could regain signal again and the only roms that I could use was goldeneye and miuiandroid miuiandroid
Thanks to you I will probably spend the weekend flashing Mrs won't be happy [emoji12]

Good stuff, glad to hear it.
The lesson is to always post the solution when you find it. There's nothing more annoying than reading a long thread of a problem you have too, and when the guy gets it fixed he doesn't come back to post the fix...
