So, this is what murders my phone's battery? I thought it was weird that GPS icon has been always active recently, and that my battery juice tends to start rapidly dropping sometimes without any reason. Now the only way I can use my phone without constantly charging is turning GPS off completely.
It's really strange to me. I noticed yesterday that the Play app started leaking battery like crazy on my Nexus 5. 100%-0% within 10 hours of idle, 33% due to Google Play Store.
Today, 6 hours since the full charge I'm looking again at the battery screen: 38% battery left.
16% Google Play Store (Total CPU: 10s, GPS: 6h 20min 6s, GSM: 1min28s)
6% Screen
4% Android system
Chrome is most surprising, as it's not usually there. I did a single web search three hours ago though. The phone is idle all day otherwise. There's something rotten in the mobile software industry that's literally making our pockets warm for no good reason.
Dear Google, please at least be a good citizen in your own ecosystem.
