Sudden loss of battery life

[NealJ777]

Is anyone having problems with a sudden loss of battery life?

I charged my Nexus 7 last night and removed it from the charger this morning. It's been sitting untouched all day. When I got home from work, the N7 was unresponsive. I plugged it in and the battery was at zero.

A widget or app might be draining your battery. Some weather widgets are responsible for it. Install gsam battery app and check which apps are consuming more battery. I disabled gps because some apps and widgets tend to use it too much. A friend of mine had that problem and solved it this way. My battery lasts for more than one day even with very intensive use. Please let me know if this solved your prob

Thank you Jmlr. I do have GSAM.

This behavior just changed within the last 24 hours and no changes were made to the N7 during that time (unless an app auto-updated).

Heard of random battery drains. My guess is that its an app, although might be battery problem, but betting on the first possibility really. Check which app is consuming more and try uninstalling.

This happens to me on my phone. Usually rebooting the phone clears the problem. Some app gets basically hung and keeps drawing power at a high rate. On my phone its random and I haven't figured out which app it is. If it were me I would just power it up and see if the problem happens again.
