Didnt find a thread for this so created one. After installing CM10.1 and updating all the google apps i started seeing NLPCollector wakelocks which accounted for 6-7% of the total battery time. I didnt have this issue on stock touchwiz with 4.1.2.
So after searching around i found that this is because of location services being used by google now. I use google now and didnt want it to be disabled.
So after looking around i found that disabling "location reporting" in Gmaps under settings>google location settings>location reporting and keeping "location history" on fixes this wakelock (atleast for the last hour) as well as making google now usable.
Please let me know if someone has seen this issue and if this works.

Close google services via "running services"

Try disabling the calendar sync, i noticed it can gum things up quite heavily. Check in the running services for the obex (might be something similar) service. Do not kill it as it is responsible for other background syncing tasks.
I had this problem and I can't remember how i fixed it...sorry

Haha Just because he stops google services does not mean that he won´t be able to sync. One can always sync by pressing sync button.
so can you stop it from running from the start? Is that a bad thing?
if so, how to do? thx
You may attempt set up Osmonitor
Then check
which process take your cpu
thc for the replies guys I really appreciate it Ive stoped google services hope it works

That's not what I said, no need to mock me.
I stated that the OBEX service is responsible for running other background syncing processes and killing it willy nilly can cause unexpected behaviour from your phone.
The calendar sync is renowned for causing issues with the battery performance, as is the HTC sense account. These are documented on many threads dotted about.
I'm running Black Jelly's JB ROM and the other day I installed Google Wallet using the instructions from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083. Everything worked fine, but now I have this weird battery drain from Google Services. It's keeping my phone awake for hours. In Better Battery Stats "NetworkLocationLocator" Google Services is the top one under Partial Wakelocks. I checked my location settings in Maps and everything is unchecked as it always has been, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've attached screenshots of my battery and BBS. Has anyone seen this issue with Google Wallet or know what's causing it?
Thanks.

Just to be sure, under settings -> Location access, it's turned off?

Do you mean under Google Wallet settings? If so, there is no Location access option in Wallet's settings. Under main Settings -> Location Services I have Use Wireless Networks and Location and Google search checked. GPS is unchecked.

Try a reboot, if that doesnt help, uninstall gwallet and do not install it for a day or two just to test if that was the problem.:good:
The threads I've found by searching are all telling me to just turn off Google Now or Location Services, but I still want access to the location based services - however, I think it's overkill for Google Now to be polling my location pretty much every freaking minute. Is there any way I can limit this to ever x amount of minutes instead, or is there a better way to limiting the wakelocks caused by the location services without completely disabling them?

Just turn off GPS is all I can think of really. Google doesn't have sync control on Now like they do with let;s say gmail. Something they should look into.
use autostarts to disable google now. It should still be usable when you specifically need it.

correct. i leave almost all 3rd party and native app features enabled. i simply have sync and gps unticked on my notification tray. i just rolled over the 24 hour mark on my battery. a simple swipe and press will have your gps on. google now is a great asset but it requires great resources. you have to determine how much you need what it offers and how much battery you're willing to live with. cheers
Greenify will "sleep" your apps until something requests to use them. It's all done in the background, so you won't even notice Google Now is being controlled by another app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5vYXNpc2ZlbmcuZ3JlZW5pZnkiXQ..
Otherwise, I don't think I am seeing the problems you are.
I usually remove Google now and I get an extra 1-2hrs of battery.
Thanks for the replies, I'll try some of the stuff that's been posted

man..greenify IS THE SH*T!
Hi there,
For the last couple of days I have an awfull amount of partial wakelocks generated by "*sync*_com.google.android.gms" and I can't figure out what went wrong.
I747m Rooted stock JB 4.1.1 bell, stock kernel, TWRP recovery.
Worked flawlessly for weeks with the same configuration. I use titanium backup to freeze bloats and stuff I don't need.
I usually got a good screen on vs awake ratio. that was last week
deep sleep 6h49
awake 1h01
screen on 48m.
total usage: 7h50
lost 1.9%/h went from 100% to 85%
any help would be much appreciated?
One of your Google apps is causing it. Try uninstalling google search to see if it fixes the problem. Google now has a tendency to create Wakelocks because it's constantly checking for updates to information that you want from it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Try a program called "greenify"
Google search and now were already frozen by titanium backup but thanks anyway.
I think I found the culprit. "Sync app data" and "sync people details" were checked in Google settings but failed all the times.
Seems ok for now but still need to figure out why it failed.
Hey all
When I did a search for this topic, it seems alot of people are having this issue.. So I guess if Google cant track us using Google Maps (Remember that always on), theyre now using Google play itself...
Im using an Unbranded HTC One M8 LolliPop 501 (v4.16.401.10), unrooted...
Googe play is consuming 50% of my battery usage.. I have "Location Services" set to "Battery Saving" Mode and "Location History" OFF. Ive disabled/uninstalled apps I dont use.. Twitter, FaceBook, Foursquare, Google Play Music, Google Games, Kids Mode... Ive also noticed that one of the google updates is "Android System Web View". I have read around the web and the GP store itself.. that this webview is causing mixed issues, so... Do I need this installed if I dont use Chrome.. I use FireFox (Both on phone and on home pc with chrome plugin).
Can anyone advice me of ways around this battery drain with the Goggle Play Services
Cheers

You can, at a start, disable all location services and the GPS receiver. That will help enormously. Of course, you won't be able to use things like mapping services, but you can always re-enable the GPS if you need those. This doesn't require root, and has a noticeable benefit.
If you are willing to root, though, you can use a program like App Ops to disable wakelocks for your top offenders. I disabled wakelocks for Google Play Services on every device I own, and there are no visible issues other than improved battery life. I'm not sure why Google has that service wake the phone up so much, but it's absurd. You can't kill the service entirely, at least not without taking out a lot of Google functionality, but it DOES NOT need wakelocks to operate correctly.

I had the same problem with google services. From my observations, I concluded that google services and facebook's location polling are the culprits. My solution is as follows:
Go into Google Settings -> Security -> and disable all options here.
Also go into Location -> Google Location History -> disable location history.
Also, you can either disable facebook altogether, or at least disable location polling to reduce the battery drain.
Let us know if this helps, so other users can take advantage of it.

Thanks for the tips.. and I was actually coming online to share all my findings anyway Ive done all of what you suggested. I dont use "Life Intruder" (faceBook) on my mobiles anyway.
As well as what you suggested, I also .. Disabled/uninstalled the apps mention in my OP, then after some research Ive found that "Android System Webview" is only for Chrome, so Ive disabled it and changed to FireFox instead, cleared both Chrome and webview Cache in Apps, Rebooted my M8 and its on 80% after 19 hrs.
Another Massive battery drains which I found is keeping GPS Location in Camera turned on all the time. / Auto Sync turned ON and "Location" in Settiings set to High Accuracy. Turn asll these down / Off or Battery Saving Mode. When you install an App that uses Locations, such as Foursquare or HERE maps.. Goto Location and check the App is set to Battery Saving, Not High Accuracy
If your like me and a light to moderate user, who uses their phone mainly for Media ... Boomsound, Camera, BlinkFeed and gaming. Then I dont really need Google Location Services.
Also Turn Off GPS and WiFi when not in range. You can also Turn OFF mobile data, but I find 4G pretty efficient compared to 3G, so I leave it ON.
If you use Google Drive DroipBox or other Ckoud Apps, set them Download your Files over "Wifi Only"
Its just a shame HTC didnt create a Location Icon in the Notifications Panel, but its not too bad.
Hope this helps others
