Recently I updated my tablet to the stock 4.4 room via the OTA update.
Since then, my battery life has gone horrendous.
Android OS takes up most of the battery when the tablet is idle.
With ~2 hours of screen time and a day on the battery, it has drained down to 30%.
Anyone facing similar issues?

Bad Battery
I experienced the same bad battery today.
for test purpose i set the tablet to flight mode and left home for around 8 hrs.
when i came back it has already died out,,, if i check the usage the Google Service has used 46% of the juice.
I'm having same problem. Device was fully charged, 6 he's later with light use it died. Here's a screenshot showing Google services

So i'm running stock jellybean 4.1.1 OTA (yakju) however i've noticed battery life isn't great, charged phone overnight to 100% its been on standby for 7 hours and is already down to 68% screen time on is only 3 minutes, is this normal battery drain seems a bit excessive for standby.
depends on what you have running and syncing, etc.
you gave us no screenshots or anything to base anything off of.
I just charged up my phone from a 20 hour run, almost 4 hours screen time broswing with wifi mostly... stock JB 4.1.1
edit: oh i forgot i am using franco.Kernel
On my Nexus battery life isn't much better than on your Nexus, It is normal or then my Gnex battery is poor again..
I'm using "takju" JRCO03C with it's own radio + kernel so all is stock and battery life is enough good, for me on yakju builds the battery drains much much faster than on yakjuxw/takju builds..
My Galaxy Nexus's battery stays 14 hours with not using it and then battery is left something 12% or less, and when I use my Gnex then I can use it like 2 and half hours and then the battery has too less life to use it... (when Clock Alarm is on, and Hotmail + Facebook notification enabled...)
Google Now is said to use lots of power, have you tried disabling that?
I am also getting really bad battery life since JB. I have the extended 2000mah(?) battery so this might be the issue although I have not had any issue with ICS, I got about 26 hours with this battery on ICS. Now on JB I will go from 100% to 85% in 2 hours and all I did was text about 10 times, no phone calls. Today I woke up at 6am listened to Google music going to the beach, at the beach did not use the phone except to check the time.
Listened to Google Music on the way home, got home at 6:30pm battery was at 31%. I did not surf, made one phone call that lasted 30 seconds.
This has been about consistent since JB installation. Everything is stock except for the fact that I am rooted.
I am currently conditioning my battery, when done Im going to remove facebook and see what happens. Also can we "freeze" Google Now? This so I can test the batter.
Thanks for any suggestions and/or ideas.
I'll chime in to say I'm also getting slightly worse battery life on JB. I'm mostly observing idle battery drain during the work day. On ICS it was a steady 0.5%/hr, on JB it is over 1%/hr. So before I could get away with not charging it some nights and it'd only lose like 3% overnight, but now it's more like 7%. The phone is stationary during this time so I can't imagine Google Now is contributing much. I'm not rooted, completely stock.
What are some options available to investigate this? BetterBatteryStats or apps like that?
My S3 is normally have really great battery life with disabling unnecessary features and turning off unnecessary functionality. With normal use and with wifi one it has battery life more than a 36 hrs. But at work because of poor signals I hardly gets 20 hrs. and I can understand that problem with poor signals.
But, Ones and while battery dies in 3- 4 hrs. I fully charged my cellphone at night and took the charger off mid night Battery at 40% in 4 hours. without use , where no application or wifi, data plan running. and many time it just die if I don't get up in midnight. This happen so randomly no proper time duration. some time no issue for month or week. Some times I seen this behavior in day time, phone got really hot... I just restart phone and it will fix the issue.
I didn't root my phone running on Jelly beans. Should I contact Samsung or bestbuy from where I purchase.

This is a daily problem for me ever since I bought my device so I got used to it. Rooting the device with a stripped down ROM fixed my battery life issue. But I reverted to stock in anticipation of the 4.1.2 update for the i747.
My Moto 360 has been dying in about 4-6 hours the last 3-4 days. It appears to be around the time that recent update was pushed that rebooted my watch. Anyone else experince worse battery life since the update?
Mine has been slightly worse. I use to end the day with about 50% remaining.. Lately, it has been in the 30% range.
My battery was full when I left for work at 9:35am it is 1:33pm and it's at 22%...
I actually came to seek help for this same reason. Up til yesterday (maybe two days ago) my battery has been lasting roughly 16 hrs. Now I'm losing just over 10% per hour. Has anyone found a solution?
Add me to this list. Glad to know it's not just me, but it still sucks. Also noticing 8 - 10% drain per hour (per Wear Battery Stats). I've reset the watch, cleared out Play Services cache, uninstalled all other watchfaces, etc. Still the same drain, which seems to have started with the last update.
I know it makes a big difference regardless, but I turned off Bluetooth on my phone to see if the drain continued on my watch without it being connected. It stopped. In a hour I only lost about 3 percent. Could it be that after the update it is trying to sync too frequently or something to that effect?
I got the 5.0.1 update last night. I removed my watch from the charging dock this morning at 6 am and it is at 31% now at 1045 am. It is horrible. Wasn't this update supposed to be dramatically improving battery life instead of dramatically reducing it?
I had really good battery life before the update easily lasting through the day.
I hope there is a quick fix going to be issued shortly.
I hope the chaps at google are reading this thread.

So I had the same problem but I did a factory reset on the watch because someone in these forums told me to and now my battery life is pretty descent. About 12 - 16 hrs.
Can confirm, after updating to 5.0.1 battery life lasts like 2-3 hours... and its pretty laggy.
Motorola = fail !!!
I also have the same battery drain. After a 8 - 10 I use to have 60 - 50 %left now it is 10%. No new apps added. will try reset
Could it have something to do with the 1.0.5 Android Wear update? I was getting great battery life from 5am to 11pm, at around 30% left. Yesterday I was installing a new band and noticed it was at 15% around 6pm and then died about an hour after. Today I took it off the charger at around 5am and it's at 66% at 8:36am. This is ridiculous! I'm still on 4.4w.2 by the way.
Add me to this list, did the update this morning normally on about 60% now instead I'm on 11%.

So I don't know if something changed overnight, but I put my watch on a little over an hour ago and it's only loss 5%.
Update to my post from earlier. Was 66% at 8:36am and it just died at 10:30am. So, it's only been used for a little over 5 hours.
Are you guys using Facer by any chance? I ask cause I went from using Facer to using a stock face (Digital) and my battery life has improved drastically. I've now had my watch on for 2.5 hrs after a full charge and my battery is still at 91%.
I dont know if this will help or not......i also had the issue when i first updated the 360..........someone posted that a factory reset may work....
so i reset it....didn't quite help.....after 10 minutes or so...i noticed that the watch was quite hot...........i left it for about 10 extra mins and reboot the 360 again........after that....the battery life seems better......over the last 2 hours....i only lost about 7% of the battery......

I'm using Facer. I was just reading on Reddit that it could be because of the Facer update. Apparently the faces are using bits from 5.0. But, if you're on 4.4, the 5.0 faces cause the drain. Atleast that's what I was reading. I'm at work and don't have a charger. So, testing will have to be later.
I'm in the same boat EXCEPT I'm still on 4.4, not lollipop. However I do have the new version of wear.
Watchface gets HOT. I did a factory reset but battery life is dropping like a rock.
This happened to me once before, about 4 weeks ago. I solved it by doing a factory reset on my phone also.
are you guys all running battery wear status and other apps? i took my watch off at 8a this morning and at 12:35p i'm at 82%. i think that's probably higher than the normal 3.5% drain i'm used to seeing.
one thing I DID notice was that i ran the update with 100% and by the time i was done with shower, etc., it was already down to 87%, so i stuck it back on the charger.
Just an update. I went back to using a facer watch face. In 10 minutes my batter dropped 2%. Went back to stock face and a hour later it's only dropped 4%.
Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.
I am seen huge battery drain on Nexus 7 2013 after flashing Android 6.0 factory image. Even battery usage option screen gives strange result. For example -- Total battery % used by all the apps just show 9%, while total battery left is only 73% after fully charging of 100%. So where is the remaining battery of 18% gone, which is not even showing up in battery uses option screen?
Attached herewith is screenshot of battery usage screen. And I really notice huge battery drain with Android 6.0 as compared to earlier Android 5.1.1.
Please help and let me know.
You're estimated time left @73% is 3 days, which means your tablet has been on and not charged in awhile. Nothing in your battery stats indicates any battery drain at all.

It just says 3 days remaining. But practically this never happens. Now overnight there is 30% battery drain without having used the tablet and it says now 43% battery remaining and one day left. And total usage mentioned by apps in battery usage screen is not even more than 15% now also. And if you add actual battery usage of all apps by clicking the indivisual battery usage details, total usage is not even 500 mAh. I believe Total Nexus 7 battery capacity is around 4000mAh.
So where is the battery use and drain is happening? This behavior I am seeing is after upgrading to Android 6.0.
I've got quite a bit of mystery drain as well. It runs flat for a little while when the display is off and it is idle for a long time, then suddenly it will just start draining ~2% per hour. The wifi lists as always on even though the policy is "Never". I have location services off, bluetooth off, NFC is off. Even more fun I put the tablet down 2 days ago at 75% battery and I picked it up this morning I picked it up and it was dead. No battery log at all either.
Hmm. I'm running stock rooted with ElementalX, and haven't had any battery issues.

Exactly the same issue here. Battery drains fast but battery stats shows no abnormality. I work for an Android phone manufacturer. My colleague who is in charge of the battery thing guesses some hardware module might have current leakage in sleep mode which software cannot detect.
I have wiped cache partition and now see massive battery usage by WiFi after overnight. Looks to be problem stated in the thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/NB0izQHuBaU;context-place=forum/nexus
Though this issue is raised for Nexus 5, I think it applies to Nexus 7 2013 Android 6.0 also.
You are not alone. My Nexus 7 is currently chewing through it's battery at a rate of knots. Even with the screen off it continues to use the battery as if it were on all the time. After wiping the cache partition things have become even weirder. Apps that have not been opened are using large percentages of the battery. I can barely get a few screen hours out of it.
Wondering if this thread has so few replies because people are checking the general section and seeing nothing about the issue so think it's just them?
The information on battery usage is so weird it's hard to believe that it's producing any useful or meaningful data.
Even I am surprised that no battery drain issue for Android 6.0 is reported for Nexus 7 2013 in this forum and not many members have replied to this thread.
Anyway for me it is a serious issue with absolutely no advantage in any sense for upgrading from Android 5.1.1 to Android 6.0 for Nexus 7 2013.
Here is one more screenshot of battery drain with no battery accounted for 27% (48% total battery drained - 21% battery used by apps reporting in attached screenshot).
I hope at least Google Android team is aware of this issue and knows how to resolve it.
Still amazed that there are only a handful of replies to this thread.
Got the System Update notification today. Size is of 2.2 MB. Downloaded but unfortunately battery charge was not enough to do the OTA install. Will charge the Nexus 7 2013 and install the OTA update. Let us hope that this OTA has fix for this battery drain issue. Will check and let you all know tomorrow.
Even new factory image for Android 6.0.0 build MRA58U is available now.
Same issue of battery drain with MRA58U OTA update also. 20% battery drained out during night within 7 hours when Nexus 7 2013 was idle without any activity.
Same issue here. Flashed 6.0 last weekend. 2/3% idle drain an hour while everything (bt, location, syncs, nfc) is off except wifi. Wifi keeps connected while set to go off when screen off. SoT off course hours less with the idle drain.
Same Issue battery Drain
Same issue battery drain ....i hope the lattest update send me by OTA this week resolves the problem...
I'm seeing great battery life now without root and Greenify or any third party solution but I have problems with the stats. If I let my n7 drain completely and charge it to 100% while shutdown I get +10h SOT (lowest brightness) but if I charge it from 1% without being shutdown I only get 8h SOT. Huge inconsistency in the stats, it's like the system misinterprets the stats and need a reset after every charge.
Hi!
I'm having the same problem with huge battery drain in sleep mode with my nexus 7 2013 after the update to android 6.0.1.
It is using 2-3% of battery per hour when in sleep mode, but the problem is, nothing is indicating what is causing this drain (in battery usage stats everything show as normal - no huge battery drain by the app or wifi, but something is still draining battery).
Prior to the update (Android 5) i was losing maybe 5-6% per 12 hours at most (cca. 0.5% per hour) and the tablet would last 3-4 days, now I have to charge it almost daily.
Any more news on this issue or possible solutions?
Thanks.
