[Q] Google play store draining battery?

I have been using the GNEX for about 6 months and I never had any problems.
Since I updated to JB, the battery drain has been quite big. There is also some big lag sometimes, but I suspect that the lag can be tied to the market too.
I see that the market accounts for the battery drain now.
It should be noted that the market was not opened, no apps were updated and there were no notifications. So it must be running in the background.
I did not use the phone much today, read the news in the morning and made 1 phone call. So the drain is quite big for this using.
Has anybody had this problem and knows the solution?
P.S.
I haven't open the maps either.

You can force stop maps, maps can be started by any application that i has location services, Google search, twitter etc. Open play store under settings, uncheck all options.

I just had the same issue with Google Play Store. Plugged the N7 in to charge to get it to power up and the battery usage is showing the Play Store as "Keep awake" for 6h 46m, which essentially drained my battery overnight. I can't see any obvious reason it did this

I have exactly the same issue with my new LG Nexus 4 running JB 4.2 !!!
I removed it from charge this morning and after 5 hours in standby mode the battery was on 20%

ur best bet is to "don't keep activities" in the developer options
re: the maps draining, u'd have to turn off location services but it's needed for google now

^That kinda defeats the whole purpose of owning an Android device. I would at least start by uninstalling updates and opening the Play Store back up. Maybe it got stuck doing something it shouldn't have been. The Maps issue. Mine is always running. Never shows up in my battery stats. There are so many triggers that can cause it to run, so I've given up(There's always AutoStarts, though you need root for it) even trying since it isn't affecting my overall battery life. I leave GPS on, but turn off Google Location Services unless I need it.

Play Store and Play Music are really draining the battery in my Nexus 4...

I found out that it happens only after it automatically updates my apps.
I disabled the auto update apps from play store and seems to be fine now....
[UPDATE - 16-12-2012]
Today I checked manually for updates, Installed 26 of them and the battery drained again after couple of hours.
For some reason, it does not stop the application and it is constantly using the CPU thus draining the battery. My phone is very hot (temperature) at the moment and I have not used it for almost 2 hours and it was not on charge !!!
This is ridiculous.....

How do I diagnose Google Maps usage?

This is a new problem, just started happening this past week or so. My battery is draining faster than normal and google Maps is in the top 2 spots every time I check. I've force-stopped it and an hour later it is running again somehow. How to I track down what app or apps is causing my maps usage, and once I find it how do I fix it?

There are several data tracking apps in the play store.
Regarding google maps...I think this is still true. I know it used to be. Almost every program that wants your location calls on maps to get it. You most likely have a program that is polling at a frequent interval. What have you installed recently?

I had this problem... Disable the location settings options in Google maps settings... It completely fixed the problem for me.

[Q] Dumb wakelocks, wakeups, help?

Upon loading up BBS, I come across these rather annoying wakelocks:
"wlax_rx_wake" (37m)
"battery-monitor" (27m)
"wlan_wake" (13m)
"mdm_hsic_pm0" (12m)
Partial Wakelocks:
"NetworkLocationLocator" (2m)
Basically, these are repete foes. Their times vary, but they're always there. Sometimes, they go up to hours.
Also, I'm noticing that Maps always has a top 3 spot in my battery usage (using the stock battery info). I'm not using maps, I have location services turned off, but it's always there. I tried clearing the data, didn't do a thing.
Last, I've noticed that many apps "wake up" my GN2 (found it in BBS). Ebay Mobile woke it up over 700 times, so I uninstalled that. Maps wakes it up over 300 times, not even sure why.
Android OS also has a "stay awake" time of 3h, 49m, 45s.
What's going on? How can I solve these issues?
I'm on Jedi 3.3.

Android os is, well, android os, some usage will always be there to run your phone.
That said, if 37 min wakelocks in the span of a full day, is not much. Wakelocks are necessary for some services to run. If you have maps wakelock for several hours with location services off, my guess is an app that is badly coded is checking for location even though it's off.
It would be helpful with a screenshot of kernel and partial wakelocks.

Here are some screens, keep in mind that they have been much, much worse on my past charging cycles.
Oh and the maps data in these is after I killed maps, dug deeper to disable location services, and wiped maps' data.
37 minutes is the span of after a reboot, I'd say about 6 hours. They've increased (in the screens) over the past few hours. Pre-reboot, the wakelocks were up in the 1.5-2hr mark.

Please post with "since charged" or unplugged, since battery stats shows thirteen hours uptime.
The maps lock is only 3 mins and negligible, despite the intimidating red line You might rather have an app using wifi constantly unless you've actively been using wifi for a long time, or you have bad signal or a poorly configured wifi.

for the first time ever my phone drained 10% or more over night, its never done that before even though i had every off.. and i did the same as i normally do, but for some reason it seemed to have drained a lot more last night

Ah, I'll have to post those tomorrow. I don't have a reference point saved it says.
That 3 minutes used to be close to 30 before I wiped the data and rebooted, I'm only concerned because maps is showing up as one of my battery killers in the stock battery info dialog, even though I haven't used it all day.
I did see through Watchdog that "friendservice" and its related processes have been running up pretty high, but I have latitude and everything else disabled?

Any idea what this could be? (Battery life)

I'm already at 37% battery and I've had my phone off charger for only a little over 4 hrs. I'm running GOLDENEYE ROM with KTOONZ KERNEL (using ktoonz settings). I woke up a little after 6, went to gym and had music playing through my beats Bluetooth headphones for about an hour. Had data on for about 10 minutes for a YouTube video while on stair-master. Came home, streamed a YouTube video over chromecast for about 20 minutes. Other than that, its been idling.
I always have data OFF unless needed, but typically on WI-FI.
I have disabled GOOGLE NOW and other services by freezing them using a Method posted in the GENERAL titled something like "amazing battery life when idled" or something like that lol.
But it seems Google services is still killing my battery. Any ideas?

The guide I followed was SKIPJACKS,"INSANELY GREAT BATTERY LIFE WHEN IDLING".
I have all syncing off and Google play auto update off.

Go into Location and uncheck "Wifi-Mobile Network" or something like that. That seems to be the biggest culprit for Google Service.

Just Went ahead and turned it off. Forgot to mention, I have auto brightness on.

Not sure if it will help you at *all*, but if you are in the mood for trying things, going to "App Info", "All", then select "Google Play Services", clearing data and clearing cache and rebooting looked like it might have helped my battery life when Google Services had been eating up mine. Could have just been a coincidence though.

Actually, you might be right. I've heard of this before. I totally forgot to try this Lol.
To be honest I loved my Xperia Z but turned it in for the S4 only because of the battery life but, so far the battery life lately hadn't been that much better. Keep in mind I did have to have stamina mode ON with the XZ...

If you followed that thread advice fully you should not be seeing google framework services causing any more problems. I keep framework services frozen except when I need play store and I only lose 0.7% battery per hour when idle and on a weak carrier signal.

net_scheduler wakelock draining battery

Hi, I created a thread about battery drain I have been experiencing for few days. I managed to find 1 wakelock - net_scheduler from google services. Anyone else experienced this wakelock and managed to get rid of it?
TY in advance

I have all converted to google dialer contact cal calc everything I had on battery 24 hrs and it only used 16% screen was at like 18-20% at close to a half hr give or take a few min screen on time and I was in a place most the day was cutting from no service to roam to 3g and to lte all while was at work my battery was at about 78% from full charge 24 hrs ago so I don't think I have seen this problem now u could try a clean install of a ROM and it may be all u need a good full wipe
Edited
I also for got to say I also use Naptime it help a bunch as far as battery and making things in deep sleep so help with drail on battery

i got rid of this issue after deleting UserData /Internal SD and fully reinstalling my system.
There must be an easier way though ^^

I managed to solve this issuue. It was google play services that kept waking my phone up. Installing older version fixed that issue.

Which old version did you install that's not plagued with this dreadful wakelock issue? I'd appreciate if you shared the version number

I downgraded to 9.2.56 but didnt stay with this version for too long as i couldnt use google keep and i had no notifications from gmail. Im using 9.6.83 and i think the net_scheduler wakelock is gone but cant say it for sure as im constantly using it.

I'm positive it's the Google Play Services. Had the 9.6.83 before and it drained my standby of 30+ % of 7 hours bed time.
I uninstalled it and went back to the 9.2.56 / restarted / and updated it back to the 9.6.83 again / It's been back to normal for couple of days now.

Seeing this problem on all android phones of the people I know.
To fix this:
First install the latest version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-9-8-75-release/
Then erase google play services data and then restart the phone. That´s all.

Worked like a charm on my Nexus 5 also! Thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Just installed 9.8.75 and will see how it works out.
