Ive been running some battery monitoring software on the TS and it seems that google services is killing the battery, apparently something with the location apps constantly pinging for a location etc...

If I find a good tut i will post here, has anyone else noticed this prob with services chewing through their battery likes its free candy? :p

Edit:

The main culprit apparently seems to be "Google Search"
and possibly "Google Play Services"

The free app above will at let you block google search wake lock etc...
