    Anyone else experiencing a huge battery drain from Google Services? My Nexus 5 will go from full charge to dead in under 5 hours, with little direct use and syncing off. Been told that Hangouts is a bit drain, which is annoying as I use it on Chrome for OSX. Anyone had this issue and/or know of a solution?

    This happens every so often, a restart should do the trick.

    Totally agree. I get this every few days. Sometimes battery is fantastic, then boom it goes crap..a reboot always solves it...I reboot regardless every 3 to 4 days..

    Reboot hadn't solved it. Had to do a full charge two in 6 hours. Then it was on 64% after an hour and 17 mins.

    Nexus Support team contacted me on Twitter and told me to spend a day in Safe Mode. This will be fun :(
