Android 4.2 Issues Verizon Galaxy Nexus Frustrating Battery

[jennie01]

My phone kept draining every 2 hours and the back of the phone would get will hot. The top app that was using the battery was Exchange Services. I kept recharging my phone like crazy and its already time consuming. I even had to delete my 2 corporate accounts like its almost useless to have phone like this. 

To make sure that everything was cleared out, I powered off and powered on my phone. Then I re-added the 2 accounts. That stopped the battery drain and the over heating. Also Exchange Services had dropped completely off the list of top apps using the battery.

I would like to know if you also have the same problem as mine. I don't know but I have this Point of Sale system application in my nexus. But the problem is I dont know how to remove it..

Well, try factory resetting your device that should clear all the application you have installed, and if the battery problem is because of the application then I am sure that issue will vanish. But if you still feel like this issue is not yet resolved then I am afraid but its time to buy a replacement battery pack for your nexus. :(

Never had the problem myself, but there are a bunch of reports of Exchange Services eating the battery over on Android Central.  Apparently if it hangs on connecting it will keep draining battery.  Probably a bug in the program, people have variously had luck by setting the sync interval to 3 days, setting it to push mail, or deleting cache.

I guess your battery has error and if it's keep on be hot you have no choice but buy one to replace it.
