AnonD-302525, 10 Oct 2014Hi Adjsl, I tried V2.19.40.18 but with 3G continuos on in 5 hours 30 % battery drain... moreSorry for your issue. But what i have done is
1) Using Greenify and manual hibernate all apps which we running in background and actually was not in use.
2)for All unnecessary apps, i have selected NO to background data download.
3) For some unnecessary apps i have selected Not to being awake and not keep in awake from Power management.
4) After KITKAT update 2.19.8, i had done factory reset and reinstall all apps on KITKAT platform.

Faced battery draining issue just after KITKAT. with recent update it seems O.K. but still under observation. No Heating , No lagging, Minor Bugs but overall enjoying my phone.

Tomazz, I want to factory restore my phone to somehow fix those error I have. Maybe it's just because I'm messing up much with my phone. How would be the restored phone? Just like a newly bought phone?
