So a different issue all together now. I've been noticing the past few weeks that my phone gets rather warm during casual usage on the web browser. The back light is usually on auto or 10-15% of the maximum brightness. Google Now is disabled as well as location services. Android OS, Android System and Google Services seem to be in the top 3 spots for battery usage aside from the screen. I only let a handful of apps sync in the background, work email, gmail, contacts and a few others.
Lastly, when location services is disabled what prevents an app from requesting your location? Or can an app continually request your location thereby keeping the device awake?
