I have a galaxy ace 2 and am suddenly having episodes of battery drain. I woke to a dead phone yesterday and charged it at work. I needed to charge fully last evening, and it was down to 4% this morning. It first happened last week...I turned something off...not sure what.
Thought it was OK....
Help!

Look at the battery usage in settings - you will see which apps are draining your battery.

Facebook is a huge battery drain - better to uninstall the app and access it through a browser

I haven't got fb. The drainer is Google services. What's that? Supposedly it is using 86% of battery...OR was yesterday.
Replacement batteries - genuine ones are only 2-3 pounds
My Google Services has used 2%. I can't understand why yours is using so much - I'll see if I can find anything

Thanks hc.
What version of Android are you using?

2.3.6 gingerbread
pasta have you got the smart network box ticked. This is a battery killer as your phone is constantly switching between wifi and mobile networks and between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. Have a look in settings, wifi and untick Smart network box.
