Google apps do use location based services. U can do one thing, enter google settings->location & deactivate location reporting. Hopefully it'll reduce if there's any battery drain. Post ur battery stats so I can see the reason for the drain.

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

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.

Battery drain after installing Google Wallet

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:

[Q] Google Services - Battery Hog

Has anyone else noticed the Google Services app being a huge battery hog? I read some other threads about it and tried disabling the "Access location", location reporting, and location history within the google settings. I also uninstalled google+, google play games, and hangouts but I am still seeing large battery usage. I also have Greenify installed which is amazing but I am hesitant to Greenify any of the Google Services packages.
Overall the battery life on my Note 3 is simply amazing but I can only imagine how much better it could be if Google Services didn't hog as much.
Does anyone know which of these services can be Greenifyed and how it will effect functionality?
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Network Location
Let me see if I understand this...
Your screen shot shows you have more than a day and 1/2 on the battery, still have almost 1/2 of the battery left and you are concerned about 25% Google services?

I switched to a second battery and it didn't reset my battery stats. Like I said, my battery life is great. But it could be better if the google services were reined in.
I too am having this issue. Only thing I know how to do to fix is disable wifi location service. But doing this then cripples google now, which I love. Anyone have a better fix? I have cleared cache and data and also in installed and reinstalled and still same issues.

[Q] Advice... Google Play Services consuming battery

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

Location and LocationService always activated

Hi, I have GPS disabled but i have everytime in processes the GoogleLocationService and GoogleLocationManagerService always activated, my battery life is really bad (2h/2h30m sot). I tried stock Lollipop, CM12.1 and MM, everytime i had the same issues. Also, in stock Lollipop and stock Marshmallow i have big battery drain from Whatsapp (sometimes about 40-45%). I really love my G4 but i cant charge it 2 times per day
Try a going on safe mode for a full battery day(100 to 0%) if your battery is going better try to delet what's app or just reinstall it
What else might cause the GoogleLocationService to continuously run to provide location information constantly?
Any Google app, download AppOps and it just let you chose what app can use location (it should reduce it).
I have App Ops and i've disabled location for all things but still location activated, about WhatsApp it seems that it doesnt give any problem now. If it can help, i write a list of my installed apps:
AdAway
Facebook
Facebook Messenger
WhatsApp
Hearthstone
Twitch
Quick Boot
Youtube
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Instagram
Root Explorer
Also there are stock cm12.1 apps (i only removed cLock)
Did you try reinstalling the Google location service?
Do you mean the play Services? Yes, i reinstalled like 4 roms. Also i have the same problem with my second phone, a Moto G 4G 2013, i have pretty much the same apps on it...maybe it's a configuration?
Probably when you configure your phone for the first time you press the Google play location (without knowing)
Impossible, i always disable it in the first configuration as i don't really need gps
What happens when you switch off the location
If i interrupt both location services they just restart by themselves
Is your Google map timeline features enable
No
Try booting until safe mode, disable your location and tell me after what happens
I give it a try, but still location activated. I Also tried to enable it and disable again, still no changes :/

Yea i did the same thing with system tuner, but i don't want to disable it in this way. Location services are not supposed to be enabled with gps disabled
