Google search battery drain

[geekynerd00]

I just noticed this today. I left my nexus 7 not charging for a few hours, and when I come back, it was at 5%. I'm not exactly sure what the percentage was when I left, but it wasnt lower than 50%. I checked the stats since I knew it hadnt been that close to dying when I left. Stats showed that Google search was using 44% of the battery, with nothing else near that level. This is crazy because I RARELY use Google search. Maybe once every few days. I'm annoyed because I just got that irritating mediaserver glitch under control. Hope someone can help

What version of Google Play Services do you have installed? The latest version that's currently pushing is 4.1, which is supposed to fix some battery issues, so I wonder if it might help with this as well.

4.0.34 is the version I'm on. No available updates at the moment.

My Nexus 7 got pushed version 4.1.31 yesterday. It should come soon to you.
