Ever since I went through the update process for my Galaxy S4 to Kit Kat, 4.4.2, my phone is constantly running 40+ invisible processes that eat up most of the 2GB of ram. Needless to say, this is also causing my battery to drain 3 times faster or more than it used to prior to the update. I have Powersaving Mode turned on, constantly clear RAM and always double check to make sure I am not accidentally leaving any apps open. Additionally, my phone reboots itself at least once per day. NONE of this occurred before the 4.4.2 update. I am hoping someone here or from Verizon can possibly shed some light on the matter.

Hello CharlesDW,
Help is just a posting away! Let's get your device working properly. May I ask have you completed a reset after the update? I suggest this to resolve a the initial issues with the update. Here's a link on how to do so. As always, we suggest backing up your info before the factory reset.

Thank you for the response. Yes, I did a factory reset approximately three days after the update since I read about that as a possible solution here on these forums after backing up my information first. Unfortunately, the problem has persisted.

Thanks for trying those steps, CharlesDW!
Let's test your device with it powered up in Safe Mode: http://vz.to/1rCor6X for a few hours. Let me know how it responds with it powered up in Safe Mode. Keep me posted. Thanks!
