Verizon GS4 battery drain issues

So I'm having problems with my S4 having short battery life. Everything else seems completely fine other than the phone getting warm under the camera when my data is turned on. Anyone having any clue what's going on?

Re: Verizon GS4 battery drain issues

Welcome to Android Central! Those stats aren't completely helpful--it would be more helpful to see stats after most of the charge has been used. Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:

1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).

Two main culprits to consider are (a) poor mobile signal, and (b) a corrupt file on the SD card, if one is present. For the latter, try unmounting the card (in Settings>Storage), removing it, and rebooting. Now see if you still have the battery drain.
