I am re-posting this in Q&A due to erroneously posting it in General. I noticed this today after my battery drained in just minutes. In settings under battery something called dbus-daemon drained 67% of the battery. I haven't installed any new apps lately and did not notice any automatic updates for any apps. Any ideas on what it could be that is causing the drain?

not really sure, i have next to no experience with linux but i did like 5 seconds of research
i think it has something to do with init scripts, do you have any scripts running? maybe thats causing it. could also have something to do with blue tooth
apparently it helps apps to communicate with one another.
hopefully some one who is more knowledgeable can help you out
Not sure about any scripts running and blue tooth is on all the time so it connects to my car automatically. Thank you for your help andrewlax, I'm Googling stuff too but your input is appreciated. I'm going to mess around with the Bluetooth and see what happens.

I have flashed ARHD 3.0 and noticed that wifitimerservice keeps running in the background when i check processes running through settings->application manager. I have also checked through wifi-> menu ->advanced and WiFi timer is turned off. Anybody how to turn off this process?

The same thing happens to me. I have a problem with something draining my battery. When I go to sleep at night it's on 100% and when I wake up in the morning it is down to 60%. I have changed the battery and the same happens. So I am checking the apps running and this "wifitimerservice" is running in the background and I don't know what it is...

I occasionally see that process running on my stock device. I've got the wifi timer option disabled too. Annoying.

Hi guys, sorry for another battery thread but I'm sure I am not alone with this.
I had disabled location services in config (totally disabled) and I was getting good battery life I think (always more than 3 h screen time ) but I noticed that some tasker profiles based on location weren't working (obvious). So today I enabled Location but only by WiFi and network (didn't check gps) and after a while I checked battery status and got this. If that is true that drain is really big ! More than battery? It doesn't make sense to me.
What do you think?

It's a relative statistic. It didn't use 37% of battery it used 37% of the battery used.
Thanks. But don't you think its high anyway?

You used 50% of your battery in almost 8 hours and you think that's high? Check your screen on statistic. Most people only get 3-4 hours of screen on for the entire life of their battery.
Perhaps unchecked currents under your Google account, that was causing battery drain for a lot of. Nexus 7 peoples

Thanks... But I checked and currents is not even associated to my Google account... But it's active... Good guess... Should I disable it?

Regardless of whether your screen was on 4 minutes or 4 hours, it should not be that high.. I don't know how to fix it though, because this happens to me on multiple roms.. My only solution is turning Google now off, but it sucks cause I used to use it a lot

That usage is good, but what would happened if I had disable "Location Services"? I would had 37% more battery! Much better!
Screen time when I took the screenshot was about 1:20h.

Yes, looks like the same happens here. And it's very strange that other people don't seem to have that problem, I really not understand.
Today I'm still testing and it's the same, Google Services uses more battery than screen, anyone who knows about electricity knows that if you are using the phone it's almost impossible.
And what is more crazy is that I'm not using GPS, it's always turned off. Locatization is only done by network and wifi.
It's obvious a bug and I hope that they fix it. I prefer not using Google Now than wasting almost 1 hour of screen time.

No you wouldn't have. At most you could potentially have 18% more battery. And that's only if the battery usage statistic is 100% accurate which is never is.
I have an HTC EVO 4g LTE and I have the same problem. I can't find a solution for it and it does it even if I turn off all location, google now, google sync. I think it has something to do with google play, but I don't know for sure.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's not very common and I don't think it is caused by any one thing. It only started after the JB update btw.

I've discovered that Google services turns on even if you are in airplane mode and you have the wifi on but not connected to a network. I did a factory reset yesterday and nothing. I might have to unroot and take it in if I can't find an answer.

I kept enabled Google Now and Location service and these were the results... My battery life is good even with this drain... Stock 4.2.1 and Franco Kernel...
If I had disabled Location and Google Now I would have had (what location services drained) 30% more! More than 3:30 h of screen time.
So sorry Google ... With this drain I won't keep them enabled...
Its a shame because I used network location to turn on and off WiFi automatically when I was entering and leaving home. Will have to do it manually..

Today I disabled location services and Google now.. See the difference... This is what battery life is meant to be ... With stock 1750mah battery!!!

That makes sense but you can always go back. New ROMs are like
new phones. Sourcery with ak is stable and gets good batt life.
The day is about to finish and here are the final results... As predicted disabling Google now and location gave me 0:30 of screen time and more than 1 h idle.
Sad

I solved it
I had this issue with my S4. I found it was the new update of Google play service that caused this issue. The battery usage of google services came back to normal after I delete the update. However, the new hangouts requires the latest google play service.

Went to school and five hours after getting home, it just starts rapidly decreasing. I used it a little bit more at that time, but not to drastically.

How is the cell signal in your house. I know mine is bad and cause the phone to work harder to keep signal or find it.
I usually average around 3-4 bars, but I'm on wifi the whole time.

Do this...
Open running applications by long pressing home button and selecting active applications.
If u see google play music there, then go to settings -> application manager -> google play music -> uninstall all updates.
The newest google play music runs all the time and kills the battery. I found this to be the issue in all android devices i have... and i was able to solve it by uninstalling the latest google play music update.
Try it.

My wife's S4 has a goofy problem. Sometimes the camera just randomly opens. Primarily when she unlocks her phone, and then sometimes when she hits the back button she says it opens. She is rooted with stock. Nothing special. It's just driving her crazy. She can't think of any apps she has recently updated or installed that would cause it. This has been going on about 3 weeks. Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts...?

Recalibrate the screen
Move the phone app icon.
Run a virus scan.

What do you mean "move the phone app Icon?"
So you really think it could be virus related? Never thought of that....
I also Googled screen calibration and didn't see and option for that..

Well, it's pretty obvious the advantages of rooting a phone. Titanium Backup being probably one of the biggest reasons in addition to Ad Blocker apps. The ability to theme or mod certain things that maybe you couldn't do otherwise. So, that's why. Yes she does mostly text and call and Facebook but she has a lot of apps and things to restore and rooting it makes it easy. Not that it's any of your business anyways.
Life Lesson: listen first and speak second. There is often a good reason for something. You may never have thought of.
Now, she does have the camera widget which was my first thought, but she says that's not it.... And it opens other times as well.
