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.

[Q] How can I limit Google Now's battery drain?

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.

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

[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.

CheckInService Wakelock

Hi guys,
I am having a problem with the Google Play Service CheckInService wakelock. It is draining my phone's battery quickly while the screen is off. I disabled location and Google Location Reporting but it did not help. Someone suggested an app called Wakelock Terminator but it is not available anymore. I tried disabling the wakelock for all of Google Play Services but it caused the app to constantly crash.
Any help would be appreciated.

What I would do is back up and uninstall all the user installed apps that ask for location access to see if the wakelock disappears, then restore them one after the other. It might be a third party app trying to use the check-in services even though you blocked it?

The only apps I saw trying to use location are google and google play services. I had turned off location but it still happened whether or not location was on

Could it be an app that tries to use location, even though it's blocked? Tries over and over again?
You got tibu or something similar? Backup and uninstall everything and see if it helps (since you, understandably, seem desperate).

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
