UPDATE: After re-adding the email settings, it no longer drains my battery. It may be different for other phones, so your mileage may vary. Try re-adding the email account to see what happens. Good luck!

On Tuesday night, I received a notification that Verizon published the 4.2.2. update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Having read about the features, I was excited to install the update immediately. The very first thing I noticed was that the phone began getting very hot. I rebooted my phone just before I went to bed, deciding that I would deal with it on Wednesday.
Wednesday was a day of me searching for outlets to keep my phone charged. Within an hour of removing the charging cable, my phone was down to around 10% battery. Looking at the battery usage, "Exchange Services" was eating over 60%! I tried various settings to adjust the sync intervals, all to no avail. Reluctantly, I then removed my corporate email account. I noticed an immediate difference in temperature - or should I say lack thereof; it was no longer burning hot! Monitoring the phone all day Thursday, I can confirm it seems that was the fix.
So, if anyone out there is running a Verizon SCH-i515 Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and your battery drain is as rampant as mine was, delete/remove your corporate email profile.
I haven't tried re-adding it yet. I'll give that a shot Friday and update the post with the test results.
