Google Now uses all our; GPS, Data conn, Map, Media Server, Sync,.. which consumes 'average' (more than LOW) power when taken separately. So imagine all of them used together! Plus processor activity and display will definitely Suck Up the battery! And since Google Now constantly monitors your behavior, the phone hardly goes even to the deep sleep mode. Overnight 5Hrs ""without even touching"" my G-Note phone, still had lost 20% battery in the morning.
But after disabling the Google Now, couple of texts, Flipboard, and average use, still lost only 10% battery for 2Hrs!!! Im still monitoring my phone, but seems that Google Now is the culprit.
Additionally I switch off the GPS unless using Maps, Data stays on except night, Sync is disabled for all except GMail, separately. I hardly use WiFi.
