I should try that too...not to use my phone that much.
For me, now I moderately use my phone, I get up to 1 day 14 hours of battery life lol.

There's this update (~77mb) that says "Improve stability". Anyone knows what it really is? And also, do I need to do a factory reset for this update?

I have absolutely no idea on why my phone is draining battery really fast and gets hot easily too without me touching the phone. I leave my data connection on usually but before this I've never experience such issue.

When I went into the battery usage under settings, I noticed this weird process called 'gpsd' which I've never seen before since day 1 I got this phone. I searched for it in Google and it seems to be some kind of GPS related process. For your information, my GPS is always turned off.

Anyone facing this similar issue? I think it started since the day I updated to the latest firmware a week ago which was supposed to 'improve stability'.

Try restarting your phone. It worked for mine.

Tried it many times... to no avail.

Try to Turn-Off all Location settings, disable security update, set it to Wifi only. Check for a days usage

Before this, I'm able to turn on Data for the whole day and even location. Weird huh hmm.gif

My colleague faced this issue of battery-draining after updating firmware.  She did a cold reboot (turn off, take out battery for a few minutes, put back in) and it seems to be working so far.  Probably hot reboot will work as well like someone else said.

Tried that too...both factory reset and cold reboot...still the same issue.

Nothing mean you didn't receive anything? Maybe you rooted yours therefore the security patch not applicable to you qua... hmm.gif

My wife S4 9500 received fw update 72MB but never stated what updates.. doh.gif  rclxub.gif

That's the one I updated 2 weeks ago where it just say "Improve stability". After that, I faced battery issue and phone heating up real fast.
