Recent battery drain

[ericmazariegos]

Recently started having some battery draining issues. Before this, the tablet would go completely to sleep while off. I have wifi set to turn off while the tablet is not in use. The battery life on this thing used to be phenomenal. Absolutely outstanding. But as of late it's been having a few hiccups; while not in use, the tablet does not fully sleep anymore. I attached a screenshot to help diagnose the issue. As you can see, the screen is off but the tablet remains awake for some reason. To be honest, this isn't the first time this random battery drain happens for me too. I suspect it's the Google Play services just being out of whack. You know, Android being Android... In the past this issue has fixed itself. Hopefully this is temporary but I just wanted to post letting owners know. If you're experiencing recent battery drain issues, you're not alone!

P. S. No i have not installed any new apps... In months... This battery drain appears to be completely out of the blue

Funny you should mention blue... Do you have Bluetooth enabled by any chance? In mine, if I turn BT on, battery drain on standby goes out the window, but if I turn it off, it comes back to normal. For me it's been a couple weeks, haven't tried clearing Google Play Service's cache or uninstalling/reinstalling updates.
