Greenify shows running apps and allows you to hibernate them.
Thanks. It does not show system apps though, so I'm still not sure what is causing the drain :/

Try Better Battery Stats. Get it from XDA.
I think somebody else mentioned I have to be rooted?
Yes if you are running kitkat root may be required. See in the description of the app here.

Ok thanks, will do in the future.

If you have a spare / old android phone lying around doing nothing and want to use it for surveillance (even uploads video to Dropbox), then you can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warden.cam&hl=en-GB

Battery monitor
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I use Battery Stats Plus to monitor which apps place the greatest strain on battery life. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.bstats

Thanks a lot, this should help narrow it down. I already suspect it's the GPS. Problem is it's already off. The issue is with the phone not actually turning it off after you use it.

sounds like you have location services overriding the GPS
Do you have experience in this?
The location services are off.
On the Motorola forums, there are a lot of people with this issue. People have even noticed it with a factory reset and not 3rd party apps installed.

This must be the best app I've found in quite some time

When clicking on a link, it opens a bubble and moves to the side. While it is loading you can continue with what you were busy with. Once loading has completed, it opens over your app. From there you can close it, or move it to chrome, or share via you app of choice. This saves you from waiting for something to happen. There is a free version and a paid version. Try the free version with tapatalk, it works like awesome.
This is mobile browsing done right.

Does it open it in a different built in app browser in the background, or in your default browser like Chrome? I can't find that info anywhere... Looks epic!
It opens in its own browser on top of your current view and from there you can open it in chrome if you'd like. Great app!

What Pseudo said. How many times do you open a link and then go... meh! I do, a lot. So this allows me to first have a looksee, and if i want to bookmark it, or browse further from that point on, I just click on the Chrome button.
This really is imo the most innovative app I've seen in a long time. Same developer as action launcher.
Not sure if this has been posted, but working great for me as a remote desktop app on my Note 3 - Microsoft Remote Desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android
