So, I'm having S5 - 2-3 days ago I updated from stock 4.4.2 to 5.0 - after 2 horrific days with battery life draining twice faster I decided to downgrade back to 4.4.2 - did it - all was well until I somehow downloaded the 5.0 update again and it's waiting to be installed... with that dreaded notification. Is there any way I can remove it and keep using 4.4.2?
I'm not sure about the message but if you were going to go through the hassle of downgrading why didn't you try 5.0 on a factory reset? Fixed the battery drain issues for me.
Same problem...

There is no unusual battery drain in 4.4.2 if not factory reseted do it, it will fix your problem, u can't go back to 4.3 now.
If you do a google search you will see there are many many users affected by the battery drain bug. Im yet to find a fix.
My S4 has MK6 (resulted from the 4.3 update OTA as I pulled it out of the box), rooted and TWRP installed.
Currently running Skyfall 4.4.2 ROM. Battery life seems HORRIBLE and the vibration is VERY week (with each ROM i've tried).
Also running the Zerolemon 7500mah Battery that doesn't seem to fully charge, but drains quickly.
The question is that if I take 4.4.2 from samsung mobile's site and load via Odin, will it lock up the phone from being rooted and
installing custom recovery again?
So far, I"m unhappy with the S4..... but it's my own fault for rooting and testing ROMs, I suppose..... but that's all I ever did with my
S3 with very positive results.
Suggestions and help guys???
Thanks

The sammobile may change your bootloader, if you stay on 4.3 your bootloader will stay MK6 which means you can use a 4.4.2 rom or 4.3 rom, if you update the bootloader to NC1 you will only be able to load 4.4.2 roms. You don't mention what baseband your on so I will assume it is MK6. You may see some battery improvement going to NC1 modem (flashed through odin PC ... twice.. you will see in the instructions) I am sure there are some near stock roms out there for 4.4.2 ... Mapleleaf is close to stock. As for battery life, it depends on what you have running on the phone. I can get 2 days on mine if I don't fool around too much. urrently 2 days 4 hours 37 minutes, screen on time 1 hour 23 minutes... 40% left... I turn off all data after 10pm and don't have gps running. You can check what is using the battery with wake lock detector, maybe you have a something that is not allowing the phone to go to deep sleep.
Thank you! Valuable info! Yes, baseband is MK6...... I'll try loading the 4.4.2 from sammboile and see what happens.........
Will post results.
Any suggestions on other ROMs for our Canadian S4? I like TW ... Can't stand the look of AOSP

Try Mapleleaf .. its 4.4.2 tw pretty much stock except the kernel I have been running it for over a month now, no reboots or issues.... probably want to update your baseband to NC1, won't affect your bootloader, just modem. It is important to follow the instructions with PC odin (take off auto reboot flag) and wait for it to finish. I flashed it twice as the instructions suggest doing so.
Hi
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 with 4.4.2 official,some days ago I install Android 5.0.1 official, the rom is I9500XXUHOA7 from Russia with Odin 3.09, the installation was normally I use the option AP.
But i have the next problems:
- The screen of the phone too hot on top only with normal use without playing.
- The battery lasts much less.
Is there any way to return 4.4.2 or solve these problems
Thanks
Odin it back to 4.4.2 thats what I had to do wait for 5.1 to see if it fixes up these pesky bugs.
I believed im the only with top screen hot.

Battery & Gestures
I like the lollipop update except two things battery,something I think Sammy needs to address, second problem is that the Gestures are not fully working i.e scrolling when using stock browser. I've tried both Russian and Indian firmwares both same result. Anyone notice this or anything else?
Oh! dirov if you do downgrade make a backup & bk your imei. Report back how you get on, Good Luck!

Hard reset?
Factory reset fixes most issues caused by leftover KK files

Hi toohurt,
I have been having this issue as well, it sounds like its a bug with the lollipop update for s5. If you are with verizon, supposedly their latest update fixes the issue, so I would try that first.
I saw some advice on another forum that if the hard reset didnt work, that rebooting the phone about 5 minutes after you take it off the charger can at least help stabilize the battery drain a little. I've also seen that uninstalling Google Fit and then disabling the "S Health" app can help.
As a last resort you can always go back to kit kat.
Hopefully that helps!

Hello All,
I have an Exynos 910C currently on 5.1.1 -- pure stock.
After almost 2 weeks, resetting the cache, doing a factory reset and resetting the cache, my battery life is quite bad with almost no apps on it. WiFi seems to be draining faster than Mobile Data.
I've decided to revert back to 4.4.4, if possible. I would just like some questions.
I plan to downgrade first to the latest 5.0.1 version (BOE1), then to the latest 4.4.4 version (ANK5) and keep it there.
Is this possible? I am currently downloading the files from sammobile.
What buttons should I check on ODIN? Should I need to do anything with the bootloader?
Sorry, my first time doing this...
Thank you very much!
Hello,
Have successfully downgraded to 5.0.1
However, even if I disable software updates, the phone checks and downloads 5.1.1 upon first connection to wifi.
Any way to disable without rooting or other modification?
Thank you.
