No, I didn't. No big deal, still have access to NFC unlock and trusted services., and a seven digit pin doesn't hurt.

Folks this is not just a 4.4 issue. My S4 is still on 4.3 (Verizon!) and about 7-10 days ago started doing exactly what you're all reporting. Deleting the Exchange account, rebooting, recreating account, reducing updates to *manual* -- NONE of this helped. I get 6 hours if I don;t touch the phone. If I touch it, I get less. This blows. Too bad there's no such thing as a true factory reset.

I have not had any issues since deleting sync.me. I think that was my culprit. Do you have it installed?

i dont think a lot of us have even installed sync.me ...so its happening without sync.me. so its a problem independent of sync.me IMHO... not sure if you meant something else...cheers

I have a samsung s4, my issue is the same except I uninstalled/deleted ALL my accounts, clicked force stop on exchange server, turned off wifi, mobile data etc and put my phone in flight mode and disabled exchange server from working except over wifi and tried disabling it everywhere i saw it... I restarted my phone twice as well

... but it is still draining my battery like crazy with 30% usage shown in the battery app. My brand new s4 has a battery life of about 2-3 hours which is seriously wrong. The force stop does not even seem to work on exchange services. Currently the only thing that is being synced is the google account for the play store!

What do I do?

Samsung will make u a patient person ) ...the battery drain occurs and disappears randomly ...I my case It's the exchange services that is culprit always. I haven't had battery issues for the past 6-8 weeks and my battery is lasting 10 hours...but hey tomorrow could be another story. Cheers

Just changing the Sync frequency to 5 Minutes or more is enough to stop the battery train.. The problem actualy appears on option "Push" on sync option

The problem is not the phone. It is exchange.

Log into OWA.
Go to mobile devices. (On my account every phone I ever had connected to exhange was listed.)
Delete all of them. (Including the one you have now.)
On your phone 1. Force stop 2. Clear data and cache 3. Delete account. 4. Restart 5. Re-add exchange services.

Give it about a day. The exchange drain will drop way down the list. (On mine went from 60% to 5%)

I also changed from push to every 15min, but I had tried this prior to finding the OWA solution with no change.

Hope this helps. If already posted ... consider this confirmation.

I had the same happen to me today on my OnePlus Two in my case my corporate email password required changing and once I also changed that in my phones settings then the continuous sync disappeared thus eliminating battery drain
