Geez...dead in 2 hours is a MAJOR drain on the order of 'headlights on
high'...I don't know how the dealer can't at least figure out a circuit that
this is coming from. Finding the drains is not that hard, it can just be
very time-consuming (something a lot of dealers hate)....see recent posts
from that last week or so that have DIY instructions for finding a drain (or
e-mail me and I'll send them to you). I've never owned an S4 but I haven't
heard of this problem from anyone else.....SLM
