I just noticed that when i install the update for google maps 4.1.1 this app will drain my battery really fast. I have used it for aprox. 5 minutes and wihtin my battery comsumption info under settings it had used about 18% battery. With the previous version i had no problems at all. The same happend with google earth.
I also found this thread in google support forums:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=2a11fbd2ef43cf00&hl=en
Anbody else experienced this. Someone has a solution for the described probblem?
Right now i used to train my battery and discharge my phone before i go to bed.
But no way i would used it in the wild.
Uninstalling my be a cure to some battery problems people here seem to have.
Cheers,

hi all
my htc one m8 battery is draining very fast
last time i called htc support for my issue (random reboots and also battery problems) they told me to clear cache and my device didnt start up but after charging it and getting some of the buttons for some seconds my battery worked well till now
im having battery draining issues again
what should i do about my problem?
Hi, have you tried something like Wakelock Detector from the play store?
This will show you if something is trying to wake your phone and wasting battery.
Maybe you have some rogue game or app thats trying to call home or is tuck in a loop on startup.
Also get Autostarts while you are there. you can see what is actually starting as you turn on the phone.
Could be you have a hardware problem but worth checking software first.
If all else fails, hard reset?
Sending back is the last thing you want to really.

If it's only started happening recently it would appear to be app related. Something is running in the background wasting battery.
I'd recommend something like autostarts, like the previous poster said, to check what's causing it.
If your phone's rooted, you can also use greenify to hibernate all apps that you don't want running in the background.
This is my battery status
See post 2 in this thread for general battery tips,
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Also, are you rooted? If so, get gsam root companion installed as well. Go from 100 to about 10 percent left and then do some gsam screen shots.
Especially, main screen. App screen. And from app screen drop down, times waking device and held awake time and kernel wake time.
Do you have a good signal whole not on wifi? A weak signal while on data is a killer and usually won't show in any battery stats.
?

Keep screen as dim as you can stand, manually. Check out "display brightness" from playstore store. Great app!
And turn location off! Completely off. For now anyway.
Well my device is completly stock and i dont have root
Yesterday i tried a way to calibrate battery and today i cleared chache.(this time phonr is fine ). I will post the result when phone is 10% again
:good: My v10 had been suffering from batter drain ever since i got my phone last year. I kept looking up information about other peoples problems and how mine differed from theirs. Aside from doing the basic phone setting tweaks, rooting, and greenify my battery life still suffered. I came across an app called Gservicefix from the play store and it increased my battery life by alot. Normally i would get around 2 hours to 2 1/2 hours SOT with my normal use like listening to music, youtube, facebook, intagram, (would be snapchat but cant seem to get it to work) browsing the web. Now i get 2 hours SOT with 30% battery used. I will post a picture if permitted with my battery life and SOT after more use. For those who are looking for something else to try because it can not hurt I say download the app and do what it tells you to do which is simple.
the app is called Gservicefix
it will ask that you have a full charge 100% and cord plugged in just FYI then follow the instructions and see if it works for you.

As quoted from the Play Store: "After using app. turn off gps and sync to save battery according to usage."
It will take couple of times to work depending on os version. Its a workaround for the battery drain bug caused by Services / OS / System. *Tested on limited devices only . Services are the background tasks on devices that keeps all of the company's services in sync and updated. This covers basic environment, among other services which results in heavy battery drain of your device."
So if you have to turn off gps and sync and turn them on when needed, then why do I need to install the app? Just turn on and off gps and sync and get the same results, no?
it is a work around for the battery drain. after using it i found out that if you remove the battery you would have to do the process all over which can be a hassle if your in a rush. The app did work for me but i since found a better solution that i will post in a the general forum.

What was your better solution?
Use Naptime, a greenify like app, but more suitable for V10.
I have an android phone and I don't know why my phone drains too much power and I have to charge twice a day So as I am a mobile app development dubai but did not solve the issue with my phone anyone who knows the problem pls help me.

I have stock rom 3.2.7, rooted, xposed installed. I use Greenify and hibernated all apps except whatsapp and also cleared recent apps before going off to sleep. I had 23% battery when i went off to sleep at 00:30. When i woke up at 06:30 my phone was switched off. When i tried to switch jt on it said charge a little before switching it on in red letters. I fail to understand reason for drain, during daytime i get satisfactory battery life. Please help/advise.
Oxygen OS have had standby battery drain issues from the very beginning. The fault is not with the settings or with any of the apps installed.
Try a custom ROM if you want better standby life, like Sultan's CM13 or AOKP.
It happened same to me last night for first time (I have OP3 from june). I fully charged phone at 23:00, went to sleep. When I woke up at 6:00, phone was warm and switched off.
Did u turn on Doze in Developers options? That might explains it.
Settings > Backup > disable Google backup. Massive battery drainer.
If you dont use Google now, disable it. (I haven't and I still get only 5-6% drain overnight)
Any Bluetooth devices syncing overnight? I have found MiBand and MiFit app to be massive drainers.
Location services: if using Google Now, turn to device only, otherwise disable
Also disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning from location settings.
Make sure greenify is actually working. Using the broom icon to clear recents app will stop greenify, unless it is locked in recents.
Use aggressive doze in greenify
Wipe data from Google play services. Wipe dalvik and cache from twrp
Install amplify. Even if you are not using paid version, you will still be able to find out wakelocks, alarms and services
Another app I'd recommend is wakelock detector.

Google backup on. Google now on. Bluetooth off. Location services on.
I clear all recent apps n go off to sleep, i still get whatsapp messages after clearing it, so if whatsapp works so should Greenify.
Google stuff is on throughout the day but i dnt get drains, it's only during night, so i guess the reason should be different.
I l try aggressive doze and amplify and wipes but i guess theres something v r missing.
Thanks

Why not install better battery stats or gsam battery monitor and see what drains battery... Just create a custom reference point while going to sleep and see in the morning.

If you completely clear recents, Greenify most probably will not work. Its dev Oasisfeng himself says so.
Apart from that, a BBS idle dump is the only way to identify the culprits.

I cleared all apps then opened Greenify with aggressive doze on and went off to sleep with battery at 30% and when i woke up it was at 6%. Wifi always on and connected to my home network
Lost 12 % overnight gsm battery saying that held awake... And dont know what is holding my device awake... On samsung i use to lose 1% overnight.
Ps getting network error not able to post screenshot

I guess its whatsapp app backup which is holding the device awake and bcking up on google driver... Not sure though just a hunch. But 12 % is too much to lose.
Just look in to Settings - Battery and if the Google Play services is in the top the process called *net_scheduler* is cause. The problem is global not only for Oneplus users.

I also own Samsung grand max and it doesn't show any battery drain overnight. And yes i can see "Google services" used my battery but not "google play services"
My Google Now is turned on and my OP3 lasted almost 3 full Days this Weekend with Just 1h SOT.
Google Now is not a huge Drainer for me. I recognized that it is useful to restart your Phone from time to time.

Please post an idle dump from BBS which will indicate which is/are the culprit/s. Also post screenshots of your Battery page in Settings of the phone and Battery History Details.

Till you reach atleast 10 posts, you will not be able to attach files or screenshots. You can upload them to a third party site and post the links here (without http or https).
You can also post an idle dump from BBS and screenshots as explained above. I will try to help to the best of my ability.
Greenify won't work if you clear recents using broom icon because that disables accessibility settings for greenify. Lock greenify in recents before using broom. Also make sure that accessibility settings, device administrator and usage access settings have been enabled for greenify.
I'd still recommend turning off Google backup

Ok last charge i got 5 hr SOT with greenify its was facebook and google play i guess. Let me test few more days ill keep reporting
I'm getting about 6% battery drain over night with wifi off whereas my Samsung Tab S2 drains only 1%. :silly:
The signal quality isn't the best where I live so that could explain the difference. I'm also using 2 sim cards. Does this mean I will consume twice the radio power?
I installed bbs. Locked Greenify and bbs in recent. Activated Greenify in accessibility and administrator. Will post results in day or two
I have s10plus and my battery was very bad. I can't even reach 5h SOT. Then i get serious and at the end i found the problem with the kernel wake lock. I get bug report and i open battery historian and i detailed search everything. The problem was with NlpWakeLock. That's old problem. Nlp stands for network location provider. As you may know, Android provides developers with two ways of gathering location information. One is through the GPS_PROVIDER, which uses the GPS, and the other is through NETWORK_PROVIDER, which uses cell towers and WiFi APs to get your position.
If u want to fix the problem you have to go in Google Maps then on left upper corner and open settings and go to Notifications and disable all notifications.
There is a screenshot and disable everything inside all submenus
Disable all the toggles inside these?

I wonder if that is similar to the attached. Edit. Never mind. Its router issue apparantly

Great find! I'm not a heavy user of my S10e that's I was always annoyed seeing 5 to 8% "Cell standby" daily battery usage and now it makes sense if google turns our phones into a radar station. Today it shows just 1% after shutting off yesterday all the Google Maps notifications crap. Had no idea it was there, sneaky, sneaky, sneaky google. They even added food-stuff location 'triangulation' in the latest update.
Just turned them all off as they were all on by default. My battery wasn't terrible but anything that can make it better is worth a try. Thanks for posting!

Just to make sure, should we disable notifications from the options inside the Google maps app, or should we do it through the phone notification settings?

The written instructions are clear. Disable all the 20+ notifications from within the notification settings of Google maps app
I NEVER have a problem with my S10e Exynos
6-6.5 hrs on screen time, in the evening I have 4% loss in 7 hours standby
I wanted to make a quick system with a good feeling throughout the day without any restrictions, without having to think much.
1. Turn off all notifications that are unnecessary.
2. go to Accu
Tap one of the app for a second and immediately send this app to standby after completion. This prevents maps from being "active" in the background for hours after being used. Google Maps, for example, is still "active" long after use (In Google maps I let the notifications ON, because I want to see also with GPS navigation and turned off screen the notification over the last maps message).
Do that, send app immediately in standby, with some apps except: Google Play services, phone services, SMS and Whatsapp alarm clocks etc ... that's not a good idea. otherwise you may miss a message, which should NOT be the purpose.
3. I also shut down the many unnecessary system apps from Samsung with ADB.
No Samsung Account, No Samsung Contacts, No Samsung Calendar, No Samsung WELLBEEING, No Bixby, No Samsung email, Kids and so on ... They're all in the trash.
Google knows me better than me, but I do not need Samsung for that
(I have the Bixby button with Google Assistant occupied, which has the advantage that the phone does not always have to wait for "keywords", which in my idea can also be helpful to save energy).
4. Go to Accounts, see if all accounts that are linked really need to synchronize all services.
Maybe you can omit the one sync here and there ... For example, Google notes, Google Fit ... I do not care if I really need them, I can do that manually with a swipe down in the app itself.
I do not look at energy-saving mode, I always have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
GPS only when I need it. Dolby Atmos and night mode is always on.
But I do not play any games that I do in a year only 50 minutes
This brings me to a usage profile of 6-6.5 hours on screen time, in the evening I have 4% loss in 7 hours standby
