Shocking battery drain on M9 - even in airplane mode

[stephlovesnutella]

Apologies if this has been posted before - I found many posts of people with battery drain months ago prior to an OS update, but I only purchased my M9 two months ago, and the battery drain has been shocking.

I haven't rooted the phone, or done anything to it. I turned off Google Now. I keep screen brightness on relatively low. I turned off notifications for all apps, including really active ones like Facebook and Instagram. I keep GPS off unless I need it. No Bluetooth, nothing. And yet my battery just drains and drains.

Last Sunday I kept my phone on airplane mode for most of the day (I did turn the mode off a few times to check texts but then turned back on again). My battery kept draining throughout the day, I started the day at 100%, and by 6pm it was at 20% battery. ON AIRPLANE MODE!

I can't upload a screenshot right now but battery usage stats say Google Services used 38% of my battery during the day - what is this?! I turn off most things so that Google can't use my phone or notify me of anything, and yet it uses my battery so badly.

It's making me hate my phone - my old Nexus 5 and then OnePlus One was never this bad. I'm actually jealous of my iPhone friends who can use their phone for a day and a half before charge runs out!! Help please!

Install GSAM. Charge your battery full. Drain it to 1-2% left. Screenshot it and post it here. Then we can all get somewhere....
