I am back home and I have the app installed, just let me know what you need.
I bought a battery last night, will arrive Monday. Even if it's not the battery it's nice to have a spare and they're not expensive.
I'm going to have to argue against the Google play services thing (I had just uninstalled a bunch of apps) and the 2 bars (reception in my house is never perfect). It's never caused the battery to drain this bad. Will look into clearing the cache.
Nothing that I was aware of. I installed an authorization app last night but deleted it earlier today. I also did some cleaning last night and removed a bunch of unused apps.
