| Google+ battery drain on ICS | DavRoc | 4/23/12 8:02 PM | I just updated to ICS 4.0.4 on a stock, unrooted Nexus S, and am experiencing extreme battery drain due to Google+ (which appears to be a stock application bundled with ICS, because I did not have it on my phone prior to updating, and did not downloa |
| Re: Google+ battery drain on ICS | DavRoc | 4/23/12 8:23 PM | I should have also mentioned that the Google+ app on my phone is huge.
