By Bell Nexus had over 24 hrs battery life with normal usage since December until this week when Google Services started popping up in the battery summary with the included packages: Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager, Google Bookmarks Sync, Network Location and Google Contacts Sync. It's also the culprit for over 175MB of data usage in 5 days.

I've deleted any apps downloaded in last two weeks and all location services are off. Can't figure out what has changed!

Please help my battery life has been cut in half!
 
Check out the link in my signature. Read the post about using better battery stats to identify which service is the real culprit. I found a Google backup sync that was running for 11 hours one night. I ended up disabling that feature.


+1 on better battery. I found the same thing. The sync options for google sometimes get stuck and a reboot helps, but I found that I can turn off the sync for the things I don't use like books etc. Good luck.

Check the root forum. You're in what is called a boot loop. Someone there will either tell you how to fix it or someone else will have already posted the same question.
