Google Nexys 7 Tablet (2013) Kit kat release drains the battery on my nexus 7

[hrudayk]

After installing the latest release on my nexus I'm seeing my battery life (on standby) reduced to less than a day. The problem appears to be the "exchange services" which presumably syncs mail. Disabling the exchange mail services returns my nexus to normal battery life but also disables my email. Is the a setting for this service that changed? Are there other options or are we forced to wait for a fix from Google?

Thanks - it turns out that there was another post on the forum that pointed me in the right direction. It looks like the sync settings for my email account were all un selected. Either the upgrade cleared the settings or changed the default behaviour for no selection, but in any case the nexus was likely polling non-stop until the battery drains (which appears to be a disappointingly short time). Setting the sync to every 15 min restored my nexus to normal battery life.
