Google services sudden battery drain (not Play)

[AC Question]

Hi all, really grateful for any advice... 3 days ago my normally reliable Galaxy tab 2 7.0 started losing power at an alarming rate. Checked battery stats and 'Google Services' is using 80% battery! (NB not Google Play Services)

I resorted to a factory reset, have the most up-to-date versions of firmware, Google Play Store, Google Play Services etc., tried clearing cache and data, synching is off, but the drain continues.

Please please help! Thanks

To add to my previous post, I noticed a habit that I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing. My phone still lasts approximately a day with use. I let the phone go to 0% charge. At 1%, before the phone shut down, Google Services only accounted for 25% of battery use. It seems that GS does not do its battery drain thing after around 40% charge, at least in my last two recharge cycles.

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
