Where did you have the 107°F (which screen, app etc.)?
It's not that much though.
The battery should last > 10 days in sleep mode. Of course it's less when you're using it. The screen is a battery eater and you have it at 57%.
I have rooted and unlocked bootloader . is there a y good kernel for stock kitkat rom and do we have to backup efs folder before flasjing or it is to safe to direvtly flash . i also cannot sew backup made by cwm 6.0.4.9 i don't know where it is placed

This happened to me when I flashed SlimKat 7.6. I all I remember is that it got insanely hot, and didn't turn on until the phone cooled down completely. If this not your only phone, i'd replace the battery, and while you are replacing the battery check if there is any signs of damage from the heat. If it is your only phone, I would just keep a cable with me at all times.

Hey guys I'm on an AT&T D800... since Monday afternoon my phone had been unusable... it got extremely hot both front and back near the mid to top of the phone... and was just chewing through battery 31% in 15 minutes... so I powered down and left it numerous times on different stock based rooms and still no luck it would just overheat till it shutdown or battery died if I didn't turn it off... I managed to get it charged enough to restore my stock backup, unroot, and put the stock recovery back on and then did 2 factory resets with still no change... so I called at&t and they sent out a warranty replacement which will be here tomorrow.. so my question is do any of these return to stock methods actually clear rootchecker? That's my only worry that they'll see that and nail me the retail price of the phone... I didn't use a custom kernel just the roms...
I see conflicting stories from people saying yes it does it clear rootchecker and others saying no.. I would just try but I don't have WiFi so I don't burn up my months data just to find out it didn't work.
The phone seems to be working fine since I powered it up 2 hours ago but I'm worried about any residual/repeat issues or decreased lifespan of phone from the overheating issues
Thanks in advance!

Flashing a Stock .kdz works completely. Perhaps you should read this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Thanks I've read that one before but I've also read other threads that say it still shows rooted when booted into download mode even after doing this reflashing

Did you check to see why the battery was being depleted so fast? I am willing to bet the phone itself was fine, but some app was utilizing the entire CPU, which would heat the phone up and kill the battery quickly.
Which means it's entirely possible you'll have that issue with the new one as well.

How can I tell if I have a wake lock or a battery issue? I have wakelock detector installed and I check my battery stats. It says in the lat 3 hrs I used 28%but I haven't done that much. I probably used the phone for about 15 min total . resetting didn't help. I left home at 7am with 100% its 1140am and I'm at 65%. I know Kik is running but I havent used it much. Also my on screen time is almost 2hr hrs but I haven't been using the phone. Its sitting on a desk and the screen isn't turning on .

Kik is first thing I would remove.
I had installed Kik on all of my Android devices at home to kik with my daughter but this app was a battery killer. Happened on every device I installed.
I cannot believe that the Kik's creator hasn't fixed this issue yet.
Anyway, stop using Kik since.
Also
a. try to disable Knock On/Off feature.
b. try not to use Location Access
When u say location access you are referring to GPS? I have everything on this phone turned off , I greenyfied just about everything I could and I froze everything that's been listed in debloat threads. The battery life was pretty good before the past 3 days and I haven't installed anything. Reboot doesn't help

Also is it possible for the battery to drain out quicker after rooting, greenifying and freezing things because whenever I do all this on a device it seems like the batteries drain faster than stock

Hi All,
Everything was ok till the day before yesterday. But suddenly from yesterday I am facing a huge battery drain problem i.e. 1% per minute on my S4. I am running the latest version of Arrow Rom.
I did format everything and reinstall Arrow Rom but no luck. Then I restored my previous Stock CWM backup and again problem is same.
One more thing my phone's battery is taking too much time to full charge. It takes 5 to 6 minutes to charge 1%. Sometimes it takes more than that.Although my phone is only one year old. When Iam using phone for browsing or chatting with charger plugged in its not charging properly its decreasing.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?

Your battery is more likely to be uncalibrated. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play and follow the steps on how to calibrate it. It requires ROOT. Any other things that can cause this are wakelocks, be careful what kernel you use. You can monitor wakelocks using Wakelock Detector from Google Play.
Or your battery might be a faulty one, check if its swollen

I don´t believe in calibration. It´s a balast...
How old is the battery?? Over one year? Buy new one.
Or try to use Wakelock detector and after results use Greenify

Use power saving mode install stock rom
Auto brightness
Format sd card
Remove unnessesary apps
Stop all unusual apps like google plus hangout and play books etc etc those you don't use.
Disable chrome use dolfin or other's.
If you are using custom kernel or mods like audio mod or performance mods don't use them.
Auto sync off when not needed
If these steps don't work then change the battery
For charging use 2amp charger with a 16amp socket
Use stock usb
Clean your battery's copper area with petrol and also clean your
Usb cable and ports sockets
Hope this will help

For the past few days I've been noticing that the battery is draining terribly fast, a quick check in the battery details page revealed that my wifi is being used throughout the time my phone is on, even though the wifi is off in settings and quick songs notification panel. How's that possible?. Is it some app which is using the wifi?. But can the app use the wifi which is off? . My S4 is a GT-I9500 model running 4.4.2

WIFI is always ON in your example, but it is not the issue you are looking for.
You have to find what application ( or wakelock) is running in background when your graph is in AWAKE state.
Drain? What drain? There is absolutely no drain visible on the screenshot. Your screen uses power. That's normal for a screen to do.
Smart Stay and adaptive (screen mode) drains battery a lot so you should consider disabling it.
I've turned off adaptive display, ill check if it will improve the battery life. Thank you

As u can see from this graph, my phones charge came from 95 to 15% in just 7 hours, with hardly any usage. Is this issue hardware related, could a faulty battery be the culprit. My phone is just 3 months old and still under warranty, should i consider replacing it.

well don't worry i had it 2 when i had N900, it is a normal behavior as your device make an automatic calibration depends on your phone usage, taking an example, if you playing a game, you quit the game, your battery is showing 50% then you put your phone away for a while, you find it 51/52 or even 53 % , it is so normal & to be honest i saw this only on N900, now i have N9005 & this never happened
Thank you very much! I was getting really worried!
