              Then press power and volume down at the same time and hold them until phone turns on into DOS lookalike.

              Press volume up to confirm you know what you're doing.

              Now select Restore from Recovery partition.

              Let the phone complete it and reboot. It should load OS after that.

                                        Chimax, 08 Oct 2014It drained only 2% in 3 hours... Which is about the same as mine did normally… the standby in KitKat has been drastically improved.

                                        But there's something running in the background, that's polling the services and is killing the battery.

                                        Trying to pinpoint it has been very hard as it keeps coming up with different things at the top, which make very little sense.

                                        I still don't know what's doing it exactly. But the camera access that Google claims? That can't be.
