It seems like the update fix the battery issue for alot of people except for me. So I just want to ask if anyone with the new update and great battery life uses a twitter app and is on it a good amount of the time like me. Because I think that might be whats draining it because after the update I re-downloaded my apps but didn't set them up and I didnt have no drain in the morning,then I set up weather bug (which besides touiteur is the only app running in my background) and got some drain and decided to stop it from running in the background and removed the widget and the drain stopped. So I just want to know if someone has twitter running background updates and still gets good battery life because not being notified about my tweets will be kinda annoying.

I recently noticed my phone really chewing threw the battery when I was running through the news, Twitter, etc. But, when it was just idle, the battery hardly moved at all.
I think I finally narrowed it down to the latest Twitter update to 3.0.0. I normally only sync my Gmail, but somehow the latest Twitter made some changes that really put the hurt on my stock battery. Go to Twitter> Menu>Settings>(your username at top under "Account Settings") and uncheck Sync data, and scroll down and change Contact settings to Don't sync. For good measure, I changed Sync interval to 4 hours before disabling it. Since doing those changes my battery hardly moves when using Twitter. Before those changes, I could literally watch the percentage count down while on Twitter.
Thought I'd share this in case anyone else was experiencing the same thing. I was sort of surprised because I usually make a point to only sync with Gmail and then found this app going crazy. I was tipped off to the app when I noticed my soft key lights coming on and off while using Twitter and then I used System Tuner Pro to help narrow it down.
Hope that helps someone.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling. You may need to reflash your rom. I've noticed that sometimes my battery drains quickly and overheats after restoring a backup or flashing a rom, or installing an app.
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If that works, great. If not, then do a nand backup and reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and reflash. If it still doesn't work, then ****... I have no idea.
hi guys, I always see Media > DownloadService in running apps.. why it is running all the time? and, being running all the time, is it supposed to drain my battery faster?
I have always lived with that, but if it drains my battery faster I would like to get rid of it..
EDIT: it seems to me it is related to GMAIL.. in fact, after a reinstall, download service process was not there until I started gmail for the first time.. now it is always there again..
can you guys using gmail confirm you have media download service always running?
and people who has not gmail installed can confirm they don't see that process always running? thanks!

hi guys, just a question.. is that normal that I always see maps in running apps? I use maps once per month or even less, so why it should be running all the time? (maps > PrefetcherService)
and, being running all the time, is it supposed to drain my battery faster?
I have always lived with that, but if it drains my battery faster I would like to get rid of it..
the same happens also for "media" (media > DownlodService..... what is that? can I remove it?) and google play music (MusicPlaybackService)
it is really annoying for me to see them always running even when I am not using them....
any suggestion? thanks in advance!!

It happens with me too. I used Greenify and it stopped appearing until the 4.1.6 play store update. Now maps opens automatically almost every 2 minutes. You might not get a significant change in battery life. You can remove google play music though. I don't know about the media download service, might be related to browser or google play music (I recommend not removing it).
thanks for the answer. I tried greenify too and it seems to correctly remove maps here.. (I too have play store 4.1.6, will update to 4.1.10 in a short time btw )
about play music.. I use it, so I can't remove it! btw I greenified it too, so it shouldn't bother anymore
so the only pending problems are media service and also play store (pendingnotification service) that is appearing sometimes in running apps.. unfortunately they are system apps so I can not greenify them
The pendingnotification service might have appeared because of the option to notify you of an update. And yes, the pro version has that feature of hibernating system apps (but its experimental) and god knows what might happen if you do.
of course I disabled the notification and auto update via WiFi options and rebooted but the service kept appearing in running apps sometimes..
as x the media running service, it seems I fixed it removing mediauploader.apk it has not appeared again so far after removing that package!
so all seems good now thanks all!

EDIT: media downloadservice is back again so it was not related to mediauploader... what the hell can be that??
it seems to me it appeared after running gmail for the first time.. but I will have to confirm that after some more investigations..
after some more attempts, i found out the process: media > DownlodService is related to both gapps and Downloadprovider.apk
if I remove Downloadprovider.apk, that process doesn't appear anymore, but I get gapps FC's (and very probably will not be possible to download anymore things from the browser and/or play store)
so in conclusion it seems to me we have to live with that process running, and that is not possible to really get rid of it safely..
Yup, made that mistake of deleting Downloadservice.apk... Drove me nuts with FCs
so nobody could get rid of that process? you too have it always running?

:silly: Strangely, no, its not always running for me.
It seems to run when I download something in a browser and then disappears after 15 minutes or so
after a reinstall it seems to me it is related to gmail.. in fact download service process was not there until I started gmail for the first time.. now it is always there again..
can you guys using gmail confirm you have media download service always running?
and people who has not gmail installed can confirm they don't see that process always running? :fingers-crossed:
thanks
it seems to me after I installed latest maps 7.x the media > download process is not appearing anymore in running processes.. maybe it was related to sh*tty maps??? :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Can someone please tell me why Google services is using that much battery. Is it a wake lock or something? Anyone had a similar experience? How can I stop it from using this much data?
Thank you

same problem mate, when I turn off location services, use goes down, google needs to sort this, same problem on HTC one, there is some bug in google now, nexus 4 users were suffering the same, but google was prompt to close the bug, we all know all these other devices are treated like stepson:laugh::laugh:
Same here
I had the same problem i figured out thanks to better battery stats that the problem was partial wakelock called audioout_2. It just didnt let the phone to go sleep. I figured that real racing 3 caused this! if you play that game just close it (hold menu button and swipe it off) and now it isnt draining so much (i know it is called google services but strangely real racing did this just try it)
but if you are not playing this game it could be caused by other app just install better battery stats charge phone to 100% and let it be overnight and in the morning look to better battery stats what causes your wakelocks
proof that it is counted as google services in attachement and tomorow i can add stats from this night when i will just close real racing
+1... But it's not happening everyday to me, just sometimes... But with same usage...
I am witnessing this for approximately 3 months, very sad with this…

A reboot would fix this. I experience this after I use google maps which is very stupid.
Recently noticed the same, it is so ridiculous! So I went to Settings -More tab -Location Services -unmarked WiFi&mobile network location -Restarted and all is good!
Google MUST fix this!! :angry:
Plagued me when i got my S4, turning off Sync and GPS will prevent most if not all, but as people will point out...if you do that you lose Google Now and some other google syncing services.
This is what ive been doing at night or when im not using those apps...
Not the perfect scenario and google does need to fix this asap.
Nothing to be alarmed. Probably it is just location history being recorded.
Btw 4.3 does wifi location even with wifi off. Just making sure there is a real time location even after you selected to switch both gps and Wifi off.
/Sarcasm off
Forgot to add, you can turn location services and history off via settings (no need for root).

You disabled google maps?
If you are rooted you can try to use Greenify to "freeze" apps like google maps when your display is switched off.
It reduced my wakelocks to a minimum.

I had the same problem. In my case i found that the google contacts were syncing all the time. every minute.
The only way to stop draining the the baterry was to stop the sync. i activate ir ones a week to keep by contacts in gmail.
The problem was solved after Samsung deliver a new version.
+1
Guys i already told you that it is caused because of some app but it is shown as google services which isnt true!
Look at first attached file this is like 28% after 10 and half hours on battery (i was sleeping) with wifi off but mobile data on and google contact sync, gmail, app data and chrome on and with google location services on (via networks, GPS was off ) and i didnt closed any apps with holding home button and swiping them off
Second attached file is same setting but i closed all apps and look it drained 11% after 18 hours 49mins (i was sleeping and in work and left my phone home because of this testing) which is great standby battery life (nearly 8 days 100% - 0 % ) and as you can see still it say that google services drained 89% of it but battery life is better than in first attachement
I investigated it and found out that Real racing 3 didnt let my phone to go to sleep and it was because of kernel wakelock AudioOut_8 and some other apps like skype can do the same so my advice is close apps before long standby it helps just try it and you can even figure out which one did it
PS: Sorry for my english its not my native language but i think you will get what i mean
Thanks for the thread @ChampMEon
I've had the same issues. But seems like 4.3 have improved on it!
I have an S5 G900f with stock unrooted touchwiz 5.0 lollipop. A while ago my battery drop from 70% to 58% in just around 45 minutes.. I just played Clash of Clans, did a little chatting in Wechat and a little browsing using Chrome. Just wondering if this is normal? I don't have Facebook installed just Facebook messenger cause I use it for work.
Edit:
Oh yeah I also disabled samsung and some google bloat I don't use and also some samsung gimmicky features like air view

I can't believe this, this is incredibly horrible. I can't even name all of my apps right now because I'm afraid the length of the list is going to kill my battery more. Please someone help with this drain? I have 3 hours on a 61% battery.
Other than my device heating up during full gpu usage during game, I don't have battery/heating issue. My experience since OTA so far is that MM runs cooler and battery life has improved (not significant but in positive gain). Brave frontier game will heat up your device fast.

Xposed v23 arm64 causes massive battery drain like 1% loss every minute, and also heating issues upto 46°C, i used gravity box, snapprefs only, but without them, it was still draining.
I might try the safe mode way to identify the problematic app(s)... when I go on holidays next week.

Just reinstalled xposed yesterday after my upgrade earlier this week. Last night/today my phone suddenly started rebooting itself. Might be related to greenify on my end. Going to uninstall xposed, as I think it might be related.

Greenify's GCM Notification functionality is culprit for the reboots. Unchecked it and there will be no more random reboots
