Samsung Galaxy S4 Android OS is draining my battery

I've had this phone for about a year now and as of the past 6 months or so my battery drains. At first I thought a super large app (Hearthstone) was the culprit. But it drains now at 1% every 2-3 minutes.
Android OS is using 115% of my battery (Screen 28%). I have done the tricks (wakelock detector, disable google location services, uninstalled apps, etc.) and its still awful. Any help, please?

Hey Knyuo,

Welcome to the AC forums!

By any chance can you print screen the battery history? Sounds like it's some Play services or some part of your OS hogging the battery.

Can you also tell us what's your current firmware? :)

I would like additionally to ask you to send us also a print screen of your Mobile Network connection status throughout an entire day, maybe the problem is due to poor carrier service.

Thanks and see you soon.
