Heat problem and battery drain on i9500

Hello all! I just wonder if you guys have the same problem that I do, after about 4 minutes of chilling in menus or doing something that wouldn't use CPU much causes heating at the top and top-back of the device and by that time battery just drains.
My device is i9500. I flashed Wanam's kernel (Adam V1) yesterday night to see if anything would change, but nothing has changed so far.
All of the gestures and stuff are off and the screen brightness is set to automatic.
I just wonder if you guys have the same issues.

I9500
I do have the same heating problem while using less cpu intensive tasks and battery is draining fast even if its in standby mode(i mean when still screen is off).

Same.
Huge battery drain issue and serious overheating on the i9500

I'm just sitting and waiting some updates, patches and fixes like everyone else. Missing my Note2 :crying:

try running betterbattery stats and see what is hogging your battery juice
hope it will show the cause of the fast draining

No issue here. I've been using the AT&T version of the S4 for the last few days. Playing games & web browsing for extended amounts of time. I haven't felt any heating on the device thus far.

iv got serious issues as well...
apps like nova launcher using so much??
apps usage greater than screen usage..

Well guys, I have charged it full and then after 15 minutes I have used BatteryCallibration app to wipe battery stats (It needs root), drain is not changed but the heat problem seems better. I will use it for 1 or 2 more cycles then post the situation.
And I will try to flash another modem.
Ext. SD is unplugged btw.

See what is using the battery from settings and fix it.
Get greenify from play store.
Disable google's location reporting.
It consumes about 10% battery per hour.

Or you could have a faulty battery. They did do a bad batch which experienced terrible battery drain. No link sorry but if you Google galaxy s4 battery fault you should find an answer.

Frm the screen shot it seems you have background processes running(BBM n alarms). If you are always on 3g/wifi then the battery draining is normal. Or you can buy a new one for your satisfaction. Or charge it fully n dont use it just check for successive draining and if it drains within minutes then buy a new one.

Turn of features like google now and google location reporting. They consume hell lot of memory. Install greenify.

Try to check your battery if it is swollen...this is the big down of s4..
Or maybe a bad flash of your rom if u have
I'm using lindroid rom and i experienced good battery life. I also tried thunder_universe rom and thorvicc did a good job...

Can you show the battery usage screen?
And also use Wakelock Detector app to check which apps eat your juice.

Thanks for help

I'm using this rom: forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-galaxy-s5-stock-rom-final-fast-clean-t2888215

Can I suggest you get 'greenify' from Xposed.
Then use greenify to freeze all background tasks.
Perhaps there is something running while your phone is awake, just a suggestion. Probably not your battery if you get a good life when the screen is off.
Are you using any custom kernel, in case of increased voltage or high frequencies or an aggressive governor.

I use the kernel from omega v23. Can i find the default kernel from note III to flash to my rom?
Thanks

as i can see android "android system " drains a lot of battery .... so if you are rooted you can you app master ( i have used it its a very nice app ) unistall some google apps you dont need or you dont use that much ( you can replace them with similar apps from the market ) also use greenify and any other app that can "clear" your ram i also use gsam battery monitor to check how much battery my phone drains in 1 hour
