Yay! Google has finally released an update that seems to have fixed the problem :) No more battery drain! Sorry you're still having problems Christopher, I hope there's a release for your phone very soon

Thanks for taking the time to reply Robert, kind of you, I've worked my way through the link you provided trying all the suggestions there, to no avail. A glimmer of hope - Google finally seem to be releasing new updates for play services! Nothing available for my phone...yet...but fingers...
