Disable location services. That's how I fixed mine, also go into Google maps and turn off everything relating to location.

I agree. I hate Google trying to use my phone anytime that I'm not. In addition to shutting off google location and freezing GTalk and Google Now I also always make modifications to the Google Services Framework to really shut down Google's ability to use my phone when it's in my pocket.
The result is that I have almost no wakelocks or alarms caused by the Google Services. And I have battery life coming out the wazoo!
Here's how....
This is a good old fashioned dirty fix, as it breaks some things. So this is not for everyone!!!!
You MUST be rooted for this to work. The ROM you are using shouldn't matter.
GTalk and GNow (and maybe a few other things) will not work after doing this. They are casualties of the dirty fix. But if you're like me and never use GTalk or GNow this will help. I'd bet that contacts sync and calender sync are also broken by this, but I don't use those so I don't know.
I used System Tuner Pro (The older version with the Green Android icon. Not the new one with the Blue guy. Both are available free on Google Play. But the new one doesn't have the option you'll need) to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
First I froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps without touching the GSF. The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them even if they are not there. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
So go to System Tuner and select "Start Ups".
Then pick the Google Services Framework.
Then uncheck the things on the list below. (Basicall anything with GTalk or Checkin in the title)
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet) If you want to go that route you can do it but you'd have to unfreeze the GSF everytime you wanted to update an app.
One little quirk with this is that when you turn on wifi or mobile data, the signal bars don't turn colors. They stay gray because you aren't connecting to the google servers anymore. (They normally change color to indicate that you are connected to the Google servers). After a day I stopped noticing they didn't change colors.
I highly recommend making a Nandroid backup before trying any of this. Once you go that, go nuts! You can't hurt too much when messing with the GSF because it will just shut down google elements. Worst case, you can always just reactivate everything, reboot, and it'll all work like it did before you messed with it.
And worst case, if you totally louse up your ROM, just restore the Nandroid and it'll all be back to normal in a flash. (Get it? In a 'flash'...haha I crack myself up)
This should have the same effects on any ROM as the GSF is the same for all ROMs on all devices as long as it's the same version.

great tip on the google framework startups. you learn every day! :good:

I really appreciate skipjacks! I did the system tuner thing. Do I need to freeze the 3 Google apps or I'd that good enough? Having trouble finding Google now in system apps using TTB

i think if you go to application manager in settings and disable google now. its the same as freezing
edit: bbs is giving me partial wakelocks with "event log handoff" and "checkin handoff" after disabling it in framework services. do i have to reboot my phone after disabling services?

Freeze Google now as well. The app itself likes to wake the device to look around.
And yes, a restart might be needed after disabling the event log and check in stuff. Also make sure they are actually disabled. Sometimes they restart right when you disable them. I know this works as I haven't had an event hand off wake in about 8 months. Including since I moved to the gs4 last week.
And remember, this is a dirty fix! This severely cripples Google Services. So if you use those services, this is not for you!

Hey bro you did it check from 40 % and down. My battery drain calmed down! Couldn't I just remove Google search and hangouts? To achieve this also? Thanks so much bro! I'll donate to you if you set one up!

The battery level shouldn't be a factor. It might have just taken some time for the elements that were already is active memory to be cleared out.

i had to remove that app since it was giving me a lot of wakelocks. i guess since its constantly monitoring. but kool app!

Is strange, I removed Google + and hangouts and all see those options unchecked in my system tuner app. I assumed some of those options would have been gone after the deleted apps. How do i freeze Google now? I don't see any specific Google now app using titanium backup? Just want to be sure I'm good. Thanks slot guys you really helped me out a bunch. That donation is here for you if you set one up

Google services is killing my battery

I have had great battery time on my Nexus 7 2013 stock 4.3. Then today it ran down faster than usual and when I looked at the battery stats I saw Google services using up a ridiculous 74%! Never seen that before. I was on YouTube for a while. Would that be Google services?

Disabling it also lowers the currents running to your CPU and GPU which can influence the system's stability. Hope your N7 will remain unaffected.

I have the same problem, only restarting fixed it for me. (maybe the new update will solve the issue) - and I always have currents disabled.

Try turning Google Now off. It can drain your battery and use up resources, especially if it's always running in the background.

Battery "halfway" solution?

Hello guys!
It's been 3 weeks now since I've got my LG G4 h815 (SN510) used, and I'm very happy with it. Very fluid user experience overall.
But, the battery... It only gives me 2hs, maybe 3hs sometimes of screen. Have 2 brand new OEM batteries, and gotta charge it at least every half day in order to reach midnight...
So, did anyone tried to lower the resolution? You have to be ROOT, and I don't want to yet because of the Nougat update incoming... But maybe by lowering from 1440p to 1080p, will help a little.
The panel will still 1440p, but at least it will render everything much lower, consuming less gpu and cpu.
I've done this on my previus Moto Maxx (5,2' 1440p, SAMOLED) and it did make a diference (even tho the battery was a BEAST).
Hope some of you have already tried it and have some suggestions!

There is an app called 'screen shift' that will change the resolution. I tried it on Nougat not sure if it works on MM.
Anyway it won't make any difference I promise you.
Buy an external battery charger for 1 or 2 spare batteries and if you don't already have one get a fast charger - it's vital for the G4.

That's just the way Android is unfortunately. If you open the stopwatch app and keep the screen on, you can get 7 hours of screen on time at low brightness.
The simplest of things you can do is to disable wifi/Bluetooth scanning under location settings. Also disable all logging in LG's hidden menu.
If you do want to make some bigger changes, you can investigate which apps may be keeping your device awake while the screen is off. This can be done with BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector. After that, you can uninstall the bad apps that you don't really need. There are some apps I use on occasion so quickly freeze/defrost them from the lock screen using App Quarantine Pro but this requires root access. You can also try the non root version of Greenify to hibernate bad apps from running in the background. To get the full power out of these, I'd recommend rooting and getting xposed features of Greenify but that opens a whole can of worms.

Thats the app I used on the Moto Maxx. Ir requires ROOT, mandatory.
I have two batteries and original fast charger. But swapping batteries aint no Solution.

By this assumption, any custom ROM Will perform muchas better, correct? Even when Android OS show little to almost nothing of battery consumption.
All the other solutions mentioned, requires ROOT access.
I believe that changing resolution Will help, a lot. But dont want to ROOT before Nougat OTA.

Google play services destroying my battery

Just as the title says! I've been deleting apps and I have been unable to track down what it is. Every couple of days I'll get an amazing day and play services will only consume 1%. On bad days it's as high as 20-30%

Thanks buddy. I was asking a general question. I've been doing this since the G1 days. I've been doing trial and error with apps and yes safe mode worked but after deleting FB messenger which I thought was the issue but after 2 days of glorious battery and no Google play issues it creeped back up. So here I am again deleting a handful more apps to remedy the situation. Before 8.1 everything was amazing. Since then it's been non stop on and off drain.

Would have been great to have all that in your OP, Mate. Including I'm not going to root. You're obviously not a rookie, and having been around so long, you should also know full well by now how to pose a proper question with the appropriate background. Just have a quick look at your OP again Mate. Best of luck.

Can't really help you if you are not rooted
By default, any stock android would eventually become a battery drainer.
You need to tame and have full control of your phone,
Best of luck though

How do I get good battery life

Hi guys,
So around 1 month ago now, I got myself hands on a Note10+ (N975F)
I have been noticing screen off time drain, it is around 1.8% for me. I have tried using greenify, optimizing the settings, battery saving mode etc.
It hasn't really been working for me. Screen off time is really important for me, even more than screen on time.
So i wanted to know, how could I maximize the battery life of my Note10+? Is there like a custom rom you could recommend, like Lineage or dr ketan?
Knox is already tripped bcz of the previous owner, so that is no problem. Or a other custom rom or just with rooting something.
If you know anything, I would appreciate it if you could tell me,
Kind regards,
Crewz

First, you can select apps that you dont require to be always running, to be dormant, look for this option in settings, also you can install galaxy labs, there is a similar option there also, I disabled several apps via CCSWE, that have the undesirable behavior of being always running and accesing internet, such as facebook, chrome, youtube, operator apps, etc, also, with CCSWE you can deprive apps of certain undesired services that eat batt, this a process that takes some time, as you use the device, you can obseve and decide what to disable, to uninstall, or control via ccswe, I have my note 10+ since Sept 6 2019 and the battery lasts thru the whole day, I get some 7 hrs SOT on normal std use, when I play intensive games,, that is another diferent thing

Hey thank you for taking the time to help me. I have tried what you said, I went into settings and I went through my apps and selected those that don't need to run in the background. I also downloaded CCSWE from the playstore, i saw like 500 applications, but only disable or clear data from the application.
Are there any other device settings you recommend changing?
Thanks for your time.

Decide if you want to root it, if so you'll have many more options and tools to work with.
Otherwise get PD MDM to block apks from running at boot and disable them.
Use Samsung Device Manager and set to Optimized in main window. Toggle on fast charging but don't enable any other off the top 3 dot menu. You can then disable that app too. 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's can screw it up. Cloud apps, Goggle Backup Transport/Backup Framework are big offenders on my stock 10+
Disable Google, Samsung and any carrier feedback.
To hell with Bixby except Bixby Vision/Vision Framework which are needed by the cam for full functionality.
Play with it.

Don't disable Bixby Framework either.
The feedback options are buried in settings, you'll run into them.
I'm not rooted so I don't spend much time looking at what I could do. You do have real time cpu/power usage capabilities with it for weeding out the hogs... for one thing.

In the Goggle and Samsung account settings.
If it's a carrier phone one of the advanced network settings. Carrier phone; disable remote support, updates (unless you want an update), and all their software.
Keep Samsung account and apps related to Galaxy Store/Themes as you want to be able to download themes, icon packs and apps from there.
Excellent free icon packs... and the Good Lock family of apps.

Galaxy labs, Battery Tracker is useful.
See if Google Backup Transport or Framework are the culprits. If already package blocked clear their data and the data on Goggle Play Services ie gms.
It can be hard to ferret out as many apks simply are thrown together under Android Services.
Worse some Google apps falsely show under Transport etc even when its blocked. That why you clear the data of gms.
Use the factory load of Samsung Device Manager to globally clean caches. Reboots seldom help.
Turn off location, bt and wifi if not using.
Do not let Playstore run or Samsung updates unless your using them.
When running clean its ide current with screen on is typically in the 100-200 ma range. A few lower and higher. If you're getting a lot of spikes 400 ma and above at idle something is using a lot of the cpu resources...

So I installed Galaxy Labs and Battery Tracker.
I noticed that Google Foto's was on top with 7.1%.
Followed was whatsapp with 6.3%
And google play service was 3.78%
I haven't seen Google Backup Transport in the list.
Would there be like a way to turn off location automaticly when I am not using it, for example that it would only turn on for google maps or something?
Thanks for your time!

I haven't seen Google Backup Transport in the list.
Would there be like a way to turn off location automaticly when I am not using it, for example that it would only turn on for google maps or something?
Thanks for your time!

If you leave locations on it's a whore to a lot of apps including Google. Looks like you found your prime suspects.
Lol, WhatsApp never runs here same with FB.

So I just have to have location turned off that's it?

You toggle it on and off as needed...

Alright i'll see how that goes. Also, I got myself the original wireless charger from samsung today.
Would it be okay if I just putted it down on it whenever I am at my desk? I mean battery wize.
