no service IS the reason. you really burn the battery looking for a signal. (the phones should be smarter in stop looking for signal once battery life dips below XX% with a user option to configure.

google maps (when not being run) cannot drain the battery so i'd reinstall that (plus you can turn GPS off in GM).

the GPS itself i don't find to burn the battery anyways but obviously that is another item to consider if you don't travel or drive.
