[Q] Google Services Draining Batery

Dear Community!!!
So Days ago i upgrade my Xperia ZL to kit kat, everithing ok a couple days, fantastic.....but, was suddenly my phone without battery, the problem? google play service was draining the 85% to my battery. When i upgrade to 4.3 firmeware i had the same trouble and then i maked to flash again. Also, this time i just did a factory reset and then everithing ok a couple days... but again, suddenly, google play service is draining all life to my phone...So, somebody knows whats the problem anda what can i do (whitout flashing again)... thanks buddies

The issue is a location wakelock, there are two ways around it disable location if you don't use it, or disable Google now.
If you are rooted, u can uninstall the Google search app from system and reinstall it from play store

you have an option in settings to disable location
since you are rooted,look for "wakelock detector" and "disable service" in play store,
'wakelock detector' will tell you what apps or services are causing it, and then u can disable that particular service using the 'disable service' app

Thanks a lot

I discovered something else.
I reinstalled my Phone again with Android 4.4.2. I installed all my apps. Using the Google Now Launcher.
Batterie consumptions seems normal. I see wake locks but acceptable.
But when driving to home from work I used Avertinoo (A radar notifying application that uses GPS). At home I closed the application. But suddenly I saw that the phone stays awake all the time. And Google Service is responsible for 86% of battery consumption.
Only solution, restart of the phone.
I did several test with this application. A short usage of the application does not seem to trigger the problem.
I did a test with Navigon (Navigation software) and I got the same problem.
So I think any application using the GPS for to long, will cause a problem with the Google service (endless loop due to time out ?).

Instead of disabling location, setting the location mode to "device only" was enough for me.

it's actually a wakelock, whenever an app requires the phone to be awake(say use gps) it sets a wakelock until some condition is satisfied(as u said endless loop), point is its not due to time out but some weird issue that is coming up with the google apps of our particular device....that's why a restart solves it or at times it may not occur for hours of usage of an app and next time it may occur after a minute.
the disabling of services or location is a temporary solution right now.
I tried to clean up all google apps in system and install the latest gapps and odex them.....until now i havent seen any battery issues(in fact usage is not even visible).....i'll report the findings after a fair usage so i can be sure if it does fix the issue.

I uninstalled Google Search from system and installed from the Playstore, then disabled location reporting and my battery seems to go to normal draining

How to I uninstall it from system.
I have root of course. I tried root uninstaller from the play store but it just replaced it with the factory version.

you don't have to uninstall or install anything
just go to sittings\ security and disable Google reporting
that's all

a little update is coming
On PTCRB there is a new Version certified .233
Maybe this will fix the battery draining.
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=22622

I was having this draining problem (happened out of nowhere, a full week after installing the 4.4.2 update).
Uninstalling Google Search and reinstalling it through the Play Store didn't worked (kept having Google Services draining more than 80%).
Setting Location mode to GPS-only didn't worked neither. Turning location off worked, but disabled my location-based apps, has expected.
What did worked for me was going to Setting -> Location-> Location Services (Google Location Report) and disabling both Location Report and Location History.
Now Google Services DOES NOT DRAIN more than 2% of my battery. CPU usage is always low (using CPU Spy Reborn, the 1512 MHz frequency step is pretty much around 2 - 3% of the time, as is the 1026 MHz frequency step - the remaining frequency steps are all at 0 - 1%, with 384 MHz (the lowest step) at 52% and Deep Sleep at 34% of the time).
All this with Location active on high-precision mode. Roughly 5h10min of usage (LTE always on), with PowerAmp playing for more than 4h straight, around 55min screen on and 15min or so of gaming (Zombie Gunship), and the battery is still at 72%.
With 4.3, with the same level of usage (moderate to heavy, I guess) the battery would absolutely be on the 60-65% range.
In other words, disabling both Location Report and Location History worked for me, with zero downsides with regards to location based apps (Google Maps, Waze and GPS Essentials all work perfectly).
Hope this helps. Best regards.

[Q] battery drain cyanogenmod 11, cm, cm11

Hello, my wifes z1c has some serious batterydrain problems. This is over night and it lost almost 30%
I searched the forum but did not trust any of the suggestions.
I first tought it was a deepsleep problem but that doesnt seem to be the case. Wifi is active but i havent connected it to any network.
Xperia compact battery drain deep sleep problem fix solution

I also have this problem. It should get a lot better if you connect to a wifi network.
I am still investigating what's happening. :-/

Its a hard problem, not only in CM11 and nobody can solve this for evvery time.
This issue (batterydrain with a perfect working deepsleep) come on all devices and all Rom after days or weeks.
Most time a simple restart help.
If not, go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvikcache, then Power off and charge offline to 100%.
If this also not help you need a other kernel.

it looks like Google Play Services is the problem. You can try installing the app Disable Service from Google Play(You must be rooted), and disable following services:
com.google.android.gms.config.ConfigFetchService
com.google.android.gms.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService
after installing, open the app and go to the System tab and find Google Play Services, press it and search for those two services and disable them. This has taken away battery drain from my phone.
Hope it helps

Here screenshoot from stock. All time screen of sleep perfect, but once drain the tha accu and other time not. All time BBS, Wakelockdetektor or other such apps show now abnormal wakelock.
The only idea i have is that google protect to log "PlayServices" with such apps and the Services also drain if CPU sleep deep.

Sorry for the very late answer, but i have not been here for a looong time. I just checked my phone and i am missing those services too. I guess they were removed/changed due to a Google Play Services update. However if you still have battery drain, try to reboot your phone, open the app Disable Service (Google Play), go to the System tab, find Google Play services and then search for SystemUpdateService. Enable it, wait a couple of seconds, and then disable it again (if i remember correctly, this service is disabled by default in custom roms, since they are not supposed to update the same way as stock roms do). I have to do this every time my phone has been turned of or rebooted, but it stops the SystemUpdateService from keeping my phone awake all the time.

Nougat HUGE battery drain

Hi guys
Im having a huge battery drain since I'm on Nougat, and it's because of the android system itself. Not because of an app or whatever. Indeed, in like 3 hours I lost almost 40% only using Spotify.
Here is a screenshot -> http://imgur.com/a/24874
I know there is a ton of posts like that but I believe that battery drain-related problems are user specific, so..
And I'm on full stock. No rom, not rooted
Anyway thank you!

give us more information to help you. Rom? Kernel?

I'm on full stock ! No rom, not rooted, everything's stock

Here's what happened on my 5X, I got mine new about 2 months ago, had 6.0.1 and battery life was great with amazing stand-by time. Soon after, I got the final update of 7.0 Nougat, everything was fine and battery life was slightly better than before. About 2 weeks later, my phone started draining battery when idle with nothing turned on. I tried recalibrating the battery, doing a hard reset and nothing worked, it was still draining battery when idle (I lose about 25-40% over night every time) So I tried fixing this drain issue myself and here's what I did: I rooted the phone, flashed back to 6.0.1 only to find out that that idle drain is still there (I wiped cache and everything) When that didn't work I tried Cyanogenmod 13, the drain is still there. So I read about different kernels, and I flashed back to stock 6.0.1 with ElementalX Kernel and that didn't change a thing. I am currently on 7.0 rooted with ElementalX Kernel and my device is still draining battery when idle. I have done pretty much all that I could to try and fix this but no luck. I tried contacting people on the Nexus forums and the only thing they said is, it might be a software problem. But can't know for sure. If anyone can please help or knows what else to do it would be greatly appreciated. I should also mention that my fingerprint sensor died shortly after 7.0 update and I have no idea why. Btw every time I flashed a new rom, it was completely stock with no 3rd apps installed and still draining when idle. (Side note: I live in Slovenia, there are no google stores in my country)
Also there is no damage to my device, no drops, no water exposure. Should I take it to service to have the battery replaced? What if the problem is still the same? I need some help here..

I'd bet you a large sum of money that it's one of the Google apps holding the phone awake. Get a wakelock detector and find the culprit. All of that Google Location **** that they build into their apps just seems to run away and start draining battery. That's why I've permanently ditched having the Google app or Google Now Launcher on my phone.

I'll admit that I've used those apps before without a single issue. But every once in a while, usually after an app update, Play Services or Location Services would suddenly go rogue and it was infuriating to track down the issue. So I avoid those apps all together now as a precaution.

Same here.

What version of Google Play Services are you running? I believe a recent version (in the range 9.6.xx if I recall) had a genuine bug causing wakelocks.
The latest version (9.8.77) seems OK for me and the phone sleeps as before.

When I clean flash a new ROM I use Pico GAPPS which doesn't come with the Google App or anything and I just never install it from the store.

I did a fresh install of latest release of CM13 with the pico Gapps package, the only things I installed my self are gmail, drive and chrome, I also disabled all background processes in the developer options, set the animation to 0 and turned off all types of syncing, even before I added those 3 apps I was still getting idle drain. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm thinking of selling my phone and getting something else, but I'd still like to have the battery replaced just to see if it'll fix the problem although I'm not really sure it's just the battery's fault since more people are having the same issue. One thing is for sure, I will never buy the cheapest google phone ever again, my friend's 6p is running better and has more battery life on 7.0 than on 6.0.1.
EDIT: On this latest release of cm13, I got an android system message saying: There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.

Yeah I'm running the latest version (9.8.77) and today, out of no where, I started getting smacked with a ton of wakelocks from none other than Google Play Services.

Which cache did you delete? Like you wiped cache in TWRP or did you clear the cache of an individual app?

What kind of drain we are talking about here? Few per cent per hour or more? I had an issue with my old Note 4 recently, somehow it got wet and it was never the same. Battery drains in 5-6 hours. Generally, after you restore the software, there shouldn't be any drain, if there is, very likely it is a hardware issue?

last few days, androidOS battery drain

last few days i have a ridiculous battery drain from androidos - this is new
no new programs installed
on 7.1.1 stock
anyone else have similar experience>?

Doesn't seem to matter what version you're on or what phone. If it has android Google will eventually target you for some data/battery drain. Mine went from 100% to 59% over night doing nothing - this is on a Nexus 6 runniong 6.0.1. I usually only drop 3%-10% at night, but every once in a while i get hit with the google tax.

There is a lot of news around about a bad update sent out by Facebook and Facebook Messenger that are causing battery drain issues. If you use these apps you may want to uninstall, restart and then reinstall to clear out the issue.

Facebook Messenger destroyed my battery yesterday. I opened the app twice and it caused 20%+ battery drain between charges. Guess that really shouldn't be a surprise given the developer...

To my knowledge, there's really no way to troubleshoot wakelocks without root and Wakelock Detector. I used it and was able to identify nlpcollectorwakelock as my biggest problem. Other smaller ones were identified as well. This was all because my device was awake 100% of the time and Google Play Services were eating majority of the battery. I don't know specifically about the drain on androidOS, but the first step I would take would be root + Wakelock Detector.

Battery drain problem

Hi everyone,
I'm facing some battery drain issue after the last update RMX1993EX_11.A.15: athe the moment my phone can barely achive 5h of SOT (screen on time) while before the update it could easly reach 8h or more.
On the official Realme forum I have read there are a lot of user with the same problem but no one solved. I would like to downgrade to the previous versione but I can't find a way.
I tried to manually set which apps can run in background but not even this helped.
Does anyone noticed the same problem?

I have the same version and I also have a lot of battery drain, with the older version I haven't.

I feel you Bro. I'm in the same condition and there is no way to downgrade. Realme suggested me to disable a lot of function but also in this way I can't solve the problem and so I'm waiting for a new update. Crossed fingers.

Before update my x2 had arround 10h SoT, now less than 6h... wtf?

I don't have the same issue, but try to disable dark mode and update Google services (often associated with battery drain):good:

I've tried to disable the dark mode but it seems that it doesn't affect so much battery, i also searched for possible battery drain issue due to the version of the play services installed on my device but i found nothing, i'll give a try to your suggest hoping will fix che issue.

Is very disappointing, arround 40% less of batery life since last update.

The last one possible at the moment 19.6.68.
I was evuating to install a previous one but I don't think it can really help. I also tried to reinstall the colorOS update via recevery but nothing changed.

Maybe it can help, mine is 19.6.29

Tried also this solution but nothing, in this case doesn't depend to google play services.
Does anyone has something different to test?

The only one solution is a new ColorOS version without battery drain bugs.

I've instaled the last update and the battery drain issue isnt' fixed, I would say that it is even worse.
The only way to achive more than 5h of SOT is to keep enabled the power saving and dark mode, limit all the possible app and don't use the phone (just kidding).
Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade ?

The main problem is Always on Display. Turn it off! I moved from loosing 7-10% battery over night on my RMX1993 to 2% (with 4G data on) over night after I turned it off. Disable screen off gesture and use dark mode more often with auto adjust display brightness. Turn on smart battery saver on.
I still get around 9-10 hours SOT and two days on light heavy use.

With clock on screen locked ... I don't see all this drain ...

If I'm not wrong, according to your stats you can reach at most 5h of SOT
