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

Thought this may be useful for everyone to have as the device does sadly have a tendency to be a bit laggy.
Have followed a few guides and got some great info from XDA so trying to give a little back if I can
From what I have done I have found no ill effects that I have noticed so far, all fairly obvious choices so early on, but will get braver as I get more used to the handset and I'm sure others have been more adventurous than me and can help bulk the list up a bit and we can do away with a whole bunch of bloat to get a smoother ride from out G3. Some of these I froze as I prefer other 3rd party apps.
Frozen/Removed
Cell Broadcast
E-Mail
Documents
File Manager
Internet/Stock Browser
LG Health
LG Search Widget Provider
LG Setup Wizard
McAfee Security
Messaging (stock)
Music
Video
Video Trim
Weather
Weather Theme
Weather Platform
If you have any other suggestions please post and and I'll add updates to Post 1 for easy reference :highfive:
Hope this helps some fellow G3 users

I think you should do a different list for the Google apps, the main attention people will give this thread is to find out what LG apps they can freeze and remove, most people will not be interesting in removing the Google apps from their devices.

Understood, you are most likely correct. Google Apps removed from list
If possible, can you post the real app name (the apk name in /system/app or /system/app-priv) ?
Thanks
Get my G3 later today. Thanks for the list! I'm completely new to Android, so how do I remove bloat ware?

They do different things. Freezing them is like uninstalling them - they are gone and won't work at all but can be retrieved by unfreezing. Greenifying them just hibernates them but they work as normal.

Could we have a non-root list, and also a description of what gets disabled/broken for each one. E.g. what does Cell Broadcast do? (I've googled, I 'm now aware, not relevant currently in the UK).
ActionManager service? Board Content Provider?
I've found this list but most of the bloat on Verizon wasn't on mine, since I'm not in the US: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/list-bloatware-safe-to-disable-t2819370

I've noticed that the system doesn't allow you to disable everything if you're not rooted so maybe anything you are allowed to disable is safe to disable.

And how is everything working out after having disabled all those 3 weeks ago? Any anomalies or bad experiences? So far your screenshots give the best list of the removable apps (I'm completely new to LG so I don't know about their stock stuff), and I'd love to remove them but I'm afraid to experiment without a fully working recovery to restore nandroid.

Correct. I have mine frozen to avoid receiving update notifications. Also this is good until you find out if the new update is rootable. If its not then its good to stick with the current software.

My list is almost this one of yours. Had to unfreeze some of those because it made the home screen very lagged.
Everything Google uninstalled or frozen for over 2 weeks. No problems or complaints.
thanks the development has really taken off for this great device
So I froze most of these. Will it free up memory or do I have to delete them? Kinda scared to delete them. I have nandroid backup, just hate to possibly have to restore when the phone is running good.
Hi, since Nougat (OOS 4) I have a lot of wakelocks of this kind showing up in wakelocks detector, and I think they're responsible of the bad standby battery drain while on mobile data.
Problem is, I can't tell whether they're os induced, or app induced. Do you know if there's a way to find out?
I know that this service is a GPlay services one to provide some app analytics APIs.
Thank you in advance!
P.s. I clean flashed, cleared cache etc, issue still there
Please don't tell me I need to binary search my apps until I find the culprit
I was wondering if a ps | grep on the pod could help, assuming that I find an entry in logcat each time this wakelock is triggered...
Any help or idea appreciated!

Same issue
It's used by google to monitor every tiny move you make in the apps on your phone.
Because this site doesn't want me to help you, I can't post a link, but you can google the row below
com.google.android.gms.measurement
FirebaseAnalytics - No invasion of privacy at all and certainly doesn't cause a wakelock to record what you do in your apps before sending that info to Google.
I HAD that too. But then used an app called "Disable Service" on google play services->AppMeasurementService
I have the same problem with last official build (4.1.6). Did you managed to solve?
Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if my english isn't good but I try my best.
I need a little help here. Several days ago, I updated my A520 to the newest firmware, things is, I forgot to notice the firmware version but I will attach the ss.
And.. I found that my weather widget isn't working properly especially 'the background widget'. If I use the default theme, it work properly but if I use several themes that I got from theme store (Samsung theme) the background widget 'on / off' is not working. I mean whether I turn the widget background on or off, it will show the background. It's not a big deal, but, does anyone have the same issues? And does anyone knows how to turn it back? Any help will be appreciate.
And once again sorry for my bad english.

I don't see why you couldn't restrict it running in the background,can't think of anything that would be adversely affected by doing so.

I've got this phone, the Wing, & a Note20 (both T-Mobile US models, FWIW).
I haven't totally disabled the 2nd display, just restricted background data usage & optimized battery setting enabled.
Haven't actually checked usage, I don't keep track on battery at all after I go through the new phone/initial set up & fine tune background & battery settings one by one, including system apps. It's tedious, but, worth it afterwards.
