[deleted post]2 hours battery and heat at the back… what are you doing with it? Playing 3D games?
In that case heat and short (although not really THAT short) battery life would be expected.
But if you're doing something, that's not normal.

I mean KitKat is much faster than JellyBean, so there must be something else at play.
You said you did Factory reset. How did you do that?
It is possible to downgrade… posted today in the morning I think, with fastboot.

AnonD-302525, 09 Oct 2014No, It will not resolve your problem just wait for stable Kitkat build as present Kitkat build... moreGreat. There is not new update to resolve this problem?

AnonD-279813, 09 Oct 2014Are you using ultra saving mode?No @tomazz. I don't use the power saver app at all. Although my battery has improved, its not a big improvement. But it's better than before that's for sure.

AnonD-291211, 09 Oct 2014For me update 2.19.40.10 battery fix didn't helped even battery drains faster than before. Mos... moreIn my experience with several different phones, not all Asus even, on 4.4.2 you never know what will happen to one app to start chewing up battery.
That's why I am so sceptical about this "battery fix". But what you can do is go to the Location and either turn it off or at least turn it off for the google play services.
The biggest impact will be from full OS restore from recovery partition though. Your battery drain should be 2-3% per 3-4 hours.

I don't know how useful the battery fix would be, in my case it made no difference, in cases of some others it did.
OK, I take that back. 1 day and 12 hours, and there is 33% left. That's better than before. Not significantly so, though.
But removing all settings and apps, then restoring them might help significantly to situation you are facing.

AnonD-317366, 09 Oct 2014Hi, 2 things you can try out is 1.Chek for OTA which is of close to 13MB- 2.In the Loca... moreI already updated that OTA, but didn't helped. In my case culprit is google play service. which is consuming more than 60% of battery alone and faster. within five minutes battery is discharging 6-7% while using and 3-4 2-3% while on sleep mode. without doing any adventure with my phone, i am thinking to go to service center for any downgrade or any clean install.
