First time Uploading to Youtube, Now Google+ is sucking my battery! Why?
I uploaded a video for the first time to Youtube through my phones gmail account, and it only took a few minutes. But 4 hours later I notice my battery is draining and Google+ is the culprit!
I tried internet searches, etc, to find the solution, but I can't figure it out.
Some people say sign out of Google+, but I'm not even signed in! Some say uninstall, but I can't {I think it's bloatware).
Any ideas on where I should look to stop this battery drain?
And can I assume it was because of the Youtube upload that it started?
Thanks all...

Pretty sure it's because G+ is syncing your Instant Uploads (which not only includes photos, but videos too). You may want to untick that setting and see if it has any effect.

Sorry but where would I find that setting?

Go in your Google+ and press Menu... then Settings.

Off topic... Does anyone know what the Point System is for in Google+..???

That's the weird part - I don't have a Google plus account. When I click on Google plus it asks me to choose an account.
And if I go to accounts and choose my main account it has sync photos deselected.

Not sure I am hearing what you're asking, but the numbers equal +1's, similar to fbook likes.

I had the same problem with battery drain, so I turned off notifications in Google +. Just like that I was back to very good battery life.
I left instant upload on because in my case the culprit was the excessive notifications every time somebody posted anything.

But I don't even have Google plus running! I ended up disabling it so I'll see how that works.

Since I didn't have a Google+ account to begin with, I just disabled the Google+ app:
Menu
Settings
Application Manager
Google+
Uninstall updates
Disable

Yes, I think so!!
Google+ no longer shows up when I look at Battery Usage. And this time yesterday (about 1pm), I was at about 25% left. So far today I am still at 63%.
So I think that did it. We'll see how much battery I have at the end of the day today!

Sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant was when you go to Google+ and do a Check-In (ex: home, work, restaurant, etc..), you get a point or 2 for checking-in... Just wondering what is the purpose of that point system???
