Google+ eating my battery - unrooted

Hi guys
I've had my unbranded nexus for 2 days now. Power is really bad. Battery usage says Google+ app is taking 40% of the power used. But since I'm not rooted, I can't uninstall right?

Settings -> Apps -> Find Google+ and hit Disable or Uninstall.

Google+ is just another app, so uninstall it.
However, I'd be interested in knowing what it's doing all the time to eat up your battery. Yeah, it background syncs for notifications... do you have a ton of activity on G+?

I still have mines installed but it's not syncing in the background as I disabled it.
Hasn't used a % of my battery of life. It's definitely most likely coming from syncing.

And now it's disabled. Didn't know that I could do that, me dhd couldn't without root and bloatware removal. My app says : cpu active 50 mins, constantly active 3h50 mins out of 4 hours..

Another thing I miss from my desire is the facebook contacts sync? Google removed it i know, but can I get it back? I've tried a couple of apps, but none nearly as good as HTC'S sync option..

Yeah it's a new feature in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) you're now allowed to disable apps.
Facebook Integration was removed. But you can bring it back to life if you flash a custom ROM that has that feature and it pretty much brings back how it was before Google removed it.

Battery issues with aokp

I didn't want to ninja the aokp thread so I'm posting this here. So for a while i was running aokp version 26 with no real issues. I wasn't following the development for a while so when i checked back they were at version 32 which runs 4.0.4.
I also want to mention I'm running no new apps, basically the same setup as when i was on 26.
Facebook seemed to be a big culprit and when i closed that it helped a bit. The screen seems to be using more than it did too. I am mainly concerned with all the wake time. The phone is awake a lot more than the screen is on.

That battery doesn't look too too bad actually.

system wakelock ?

whats the name of that app sucker app you posted.
reset your kernel, wipe and then flash again. It might help

It's called badass battery manager pro. I downloaded it last night from the market because someone on another forum suggested it. It's pretty nice in that it shows battery use app by app.
I'm also using lean kernel. Flashed it a couple days ago. Was using trinity for a while then tried out lean. It actually runs a lot smoother with lean but no battery change.
today it actually isn't to bad. All i did was manually stop Facebook. So once again it seems fb was causing issues. That app is junk.
i am still curious why it is awake so much. GPS is off, wifi is off (always have 3 or 4g), sync is off. Only thing i leave on is nfc but i have been told that is only active when the screen is on. I use no weather type widgets either. I have no clue what would keep waking the phone.
Edit: and what do you mean by reset the kernel. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I installed the rom, then a couple days later flashed the lean kernel over trinity. Is there another way to do it?

I only saw battery improvements with AOKP's 4.0.4 integration.

Quick update, i have a screenshot from a better part of the day. I'm getting a ton of awake time. are there any common culprits that i can maybe freeze with titanium?

Yeah, I'm going to stop using the Facebook app I think. It's such a drainer. I don't mind a game taking up battery on its own but something like that should not use as much as it does! Hopefully they fix it soon.

Facebook showing GPS usage when it's disabled (4.2.1)?

Why does the GPS area in the screenshot show over 90 minutes of usage when I have GPS turned off? Any ideas?

Facebook has been long known to be a poorly coded app (even the newest version) I've stuck to using the browser only because it's so buggy. I'd chalk it up to that...

Turn location off inside settings of app.

The lastest build of their app is by far the worst I have used personally. Someone posted an older build which does not have as many features, but it is way less buggy.
LMK if you want a link.

That's exactly what was happening with my phone. I've been using the app that dschreiber69 provided earlier in this thread, but because Facebook eats so much battery on this phone I haven't been using it much anymore. Furthermore, I haven't been using Facebook much on either my phone or a computer. I'm getting sick of it, same crap every day. Nothing new. Blah.

Google maps draining my entire battery

Since about a week the battery life of my one X has become terrible. According to the battery usage screen, google maps seems to be draining all the juice. Im not actually using gm though, so something must be going on in the background.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and is there a solution to the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Just disable it

And how do I do that? I can close the process, but it will automatically go back on. Disabling the app itself is not something I know how to do and not really something I would like to do either.
Perhaps one other thing of importance: when I open maps (or now) it says location services are turned off, while they are not.

disable from settings app manager OR
get greenify from playstore and just greenify it
problem solved :good:

Also, where do you live at? Might be your not connected to the right sattelites for your region. You could go to play store and download faster fix and make sure your phone is reading off the right satellites.

Google Service could be one of many things. That app narrow it down. If not you could just clear data for Google Service and it will stop it for a while but will eventually make its way back or not.
Usually unchecking WiFI and Mobile network in Location Service will help the most.

Thanks I will try that :laugh:

I also experience the same thing if I leave the location services on... I usually get 4-6 hours of extra battery if I turn it off....

You can stop Google Service wakelocks dead in their tracks. But you have to give up some functionality to make it work.
Only you can decide if this is a viable solution for you.
