I'm on EE with a stock Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 on Android 4.4.2.
Something odd has happened to my phone in the last 48-72 hours. I'm suddenly getting massive battery drain (100%- battery warning in less than 3 hours) but only if I have a cell signal. I'm not generally using the phone. No issues at all on Wifi only or flight mode, or when I appear to have no signal (circle with cross through - although there is a signal, the phone just needs a reboot).
I thought battery, and had to recharge 3 times yesterday, but when I stuck it on flight mode last night, the massive drain stopped. When I took it off flight mode this morning it clearly didn't pick up a signal and lost virtually no battery for most of the day, until I noticed the lack of signal, rebooted, and it picked up signal again.
When I do have a signal and the phone is draining, it's also getting very hot - not quite crotch-pot cooking hot, but I'm noticing it through my pocket. Heat stops with no signal.
Cell Standby (25%) and Android System (19%) appear to be the 2 items top of the battery list by a long way.
I've searched and found many complaints about battery drain over 12 hours, but not 3! Any suggestions??
