Battery drain when using data after 4.4.3 update for GPe S4

Hey guys

I'm have the GPe of the S4 running stock ROM. I updated to 4.4.3 from the update Google pushed out, but since then, my phone overheats, the battery drains when I have data turned on. If I turn data off, it's ok again. I've checked battery and there aren't any weird apps running that would cause a battery drain- just the usual Google Services, Exchange, etc.

I've tried tweeting Google, but no response. :(

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Might want to try a clean install. Doing so is always suggested after a major software update.

4.4.2 to 4.4.3 patch is hardly considered a major software update.

Right, but it's stil an os upgrade.

Sure, but there's no need to do a clean install of anything. A reboot is enough.

The issue of these low battery/overheat issues is most often solved by a clean install, so it is recommended.
