Sounds like you need to do a clean install of the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I've NEVER had wifi issues and this ROM has several thousand downloads on the current version, the kernel does contain the WiFi driver so you could always try another kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
Try different channels. I had to play around to find the right frequency for all my devices to play nicely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] synahnew:
I like to start out by saying Thank you for everyone help! It looks like it's fix now by me changing the Wifi frequency from Auto to 2.4GHz.. It' s funny really because I never had to do that before lol. I'm guessing like Danvdh said; It could be the wifi drivers in the kernel is not working well with my router.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] packetdog:
Thanks for the quick response. So I haven't needed to do that on my other ROMs, including the 4.4.3 release of this ROM. I did follow your instructions anyways, and it doesn't seem to have improved much. I turned off some of the Google services syncing, and eliminated several apps.. It just still seems to be draining quickly, like 10% per hour in some cases.. with the same kind of use I usually have.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I did upgrade (wiping cache only) from this ROM on 4.4.3. Is the non-clean ROM install possibly the culprit? If no one else is experiencing poor battery life, then I'm guessing so..

Thanks for the info bro, but I ended switching to a different rom out of frustration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:

Thanks much for the hard work on this rom!! Running great with ART runtime selected on a M919N MetroPCS S4 variant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
I can't go back to dalvik. ART is just so smooth/fluid and keeps CPU a lot cooler.

Snap camera. In the app store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
It's usually that. But some people, myself included, have much better battery life on 4.4.2, so there's that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rahlquist:
I have an R7000, have had it for 4 months or so, if you are running stock firmware that could be part of the issue. The stock firmware for the R7000 is utter ****. Go check Netgear forums for details. I run this rom and DD-WRT on my R7000 and have zero issues.

No mobile data/phone connection or 5 Ghz wifi

I'm having a bizarre issue with this 7-17-14 build on my SGH-M919 running the MDL bootloader. I did a complete factory wipe (data, system, cache, davlik, internal memory) prior to installing but when it boots up, I am unable to see my 5 Ghz WiFi AP. However, i can see my 2.4 Ghz AP. The 5 Ghz AP continued to be accessible/visible to other devices, and CM auto-connected after I restored from a Nandroid backup.

The second issue I found was that the radio did not appear to work. I just got the no connection icon, and in Status, it showed that the phone was unable to connect to any network. Thus, the issue wasn't merely an APN setup problem as it did not establish any connection with the tower, preventing me from even making a phone call. This clearly isn't a signal issue as I'm within viewing distance of a tower, and when I restored my CM backup, I was connected to LTE immediately.

Any idea why I'm having issues with both the GSM radio and 5 Ghz Wifi on a fresh install?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
For what it's worth, I made a post a week or two back about my individual findings on 4.4.2 and it getting much better battery life. After using it for a few weeks I can still say that's true, it is lasting MUCH longer than it did with the three or four weeks I spent with 4.4.4. It's immediately noticeable in day to day usage, and the stats I have from battery apps echo that (I have the same settings and same apps running for both). The only annoying issue with 4.4.2 seems to be a wifi kernel issue where it gets stuck turning on after a reboot every once and while....it's usually fixed with another reboot though.

With that being said, I'd still much rather have the battery gains and the ability to charge the phone while off (which the stock kernel won't let you do) and deal with the wifi toggle issue every five or six reboots. Haven't regretted going back to 4.4.2 even a little bit, it's the best ROM I've ever used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
do you use a custom kernel or stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
Well, 4.4.2 uses a ktkernel as stock, and 4.4.4 uses stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
my question is are you doing any modifications to the kernel or you run all stock. the difference might be in the kernel. i never use the stock kernel. i have always used kt kernel on all versions and with some tweak settings of my own i get about 3.5 - 4.5hr screen time, 1hr talk time and with about 20hr battery life. js
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
Ah, okay. I run what comes with this rom. After a while of being frustrated with 4.4.4's battery life I tried the ktkernel, but honestly I don't think I gave it enough time to fiddle with the settings (I had never used it before, and only gave myself a few days to become acquainted with it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
I experienced the same battery life issues as you. I switched over to googy-max3 kernel and seems to be better so far for me. Try it out with 4.4.4 and post your experience http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741181
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
I may if I ever find a reason to use 4.4.4. As of now though, the (minor) fixes in the software and the effort/tweaking required to set it up outweigh anything I can gain from the upgrade. As I said, for me 4.4.2 is working almost perfectly. The only reason I would want to upgrade is just becoming complacent and wanting the new thing (which I do often, to be fair. I'm awful). But thanks for the kernel recommendation, if/when I do upgrade I'll definitely try that out and see if it makes me like it more than what I currently have. I'm really gonna try and wait it out for L to release though!

The cLock widget has a weather option, perhaps you should play with it. If everything else fails, just uninstall cLock.

I gave you a choice this build

I will release 4.4.1 google edition when it arrives :) I got this build right where I wanted to just use this until I get that one right where I want it too so I don't have to release like 10 builds

nothing wrong with this ROM :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
It very well could because this is a Samsung kernel :)

I can't test though, don't have an adapter

small update

12/05/2013b

-Incremental update

-removed libart.so (removes ART to prevent bootloops)

-remember xposed does not work with ART anyway

-no need to update if you are on todays earlier build (don't enable art)

-that is it for me until 4.4.1

like I said in the changelog, no need to flash this if you are are 12/05/2013 (version 2.5) just don't enable ART if you don't use xposed or you will boot loop

Is that the lock screen clock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
It's another one. Make a new widget screen on your lock screen and then add cLock then delete the original clock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] apolkosnik:
I think that the default one is clock, as opposed to cLock. The later one is named LockClock. apk and it resides in /system/app/ I just moved it with ES File Explorer to my download folder, to test.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
So I see the cLock widget in my widget screen and that is what is draining the battery, but I'm not actually using that widget, so why is it draining battery?

-Updated Playstore

-Updated Google Keyboard

-Updated Calculator

-Updated Google search

-Added Pure Nexus build to north american threads

-Updated build.prop

over stock is always the cleanest way to go about it, I don't have the time to be uploading 6 builds everytime I release an update.

*INTL users must user a custom GE kernel with this ROM or you may experience random reboots, Ktoonsez, Googy, Faux and Alucard all have INTL kernels*

stay tuned, more to come

Not sure what I'm missing here, but I can't maintain a cell connection after installing this - there's no network connection until I go to the mobile data section and search for operators, then select one (or have it choose automatically). After that I have a connection and I can send/receive SMS and all that but it only lasts until the phone goes to sleep/the screen locks.

Pretty sure I came from stock 4.3. Did factory reset in TWRP before installing as well. Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Fixed it... after looking around I found another post suggesting a modem update. Used Odin 3.09 to flash the most recent modem (M919UVUFNB4) after doing the three-button boot to download mode and it worked just fine.
