S4 very hot and fast battery drain after KitKat
Hi, I've had an S4 for well over a year. It's a great phone. Sprint is my carrier. I've been very happy with them. However, after the KitKat update was applied, my phone started heating up and the battery is draining like crazy. I've been carrying spare batteries with me and sometimes I go through four a day. I got a battery monitoring program and it's showing that the drain is coming from software. Specifically either Android System or Kernel (Android OS) depending on the day. Sometimes both are very high. This has ONLY been since KitKat. Any ideas?
