Google Services battery drain...

Hello in the android battery stats, google services always appears as the biggest battery drainer,
however, kept awake time and cpu usage time seems reasonable (cannot possibly account for 60% battery use)
In Gsam battery or better battery stats, there is not sign that a considerable amount of battery is being used by google service.
Altogether, i am still able to reach almost 5 hours of sreen on time over 24 hours (quite reasonable) i would just like to understand if this is bad reading from the android stats app, or if there is actual drain here.
I am currentrly on stock 4.2.2 with franco's latest kernel.
i flashed a clean image of 4.2.2.
google+ and gtalk signed out, report location from device is disabled. auto backup disabled
any advice? anybody with similar issue.

I'm having the similar thing. No idea how to get rid of it. When trying to disable some of the apps (namely Google Services Framework), Play Store keeps fc'ing.

It is likely an actual drain. I would try uninstalling the updates or updating to the latest version.

Google Play Services process eating battery

For the past two days since I have setup everything on the phone I noticed a faster battery drain. Curious to see what it was I checked the battery stats and installed Gsam for more info. It seems to be the Google Play Services. I tried stopping it but it just comes back up. Does anyone have any ideas on how to control this thing?

It's a bug with the most recent update. People have tried unchecking "Use Wireless Networks" under Location Services, but it does disable Google Now. What I did was just turn off GPS until you need it.

There are quite allot of background services that can cause Google services to drain your battery. This is just one of them.
Therefor, it would be good to tell people that it will not necessarily solve their issue.

Strange battery drain

Hi everyone,
my Note 3 has ever had a great battery life, but all of a sudden the voice "Android System" popped up to top in the battery list, followed by "Screen on" and "Android Operating System", and battery life is ridiculous (the screnshot I attach has 1h 11m of screen on only)
Any ideas?
I have stock Sammy ROM and no root.
Thanks a lot.
as you are on 4.4.2 kitkat. Try using greenify to hibernate your apps. Debloat that TW rom. Disable Google Now. And you should check your device for wakelocks.
Also you can use this guide to fix Google services http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
You should install BBS to check what is actually draining your battery.
I had the same problem as you and tried all the solutions. what worked is to downgrade back to jellybean. hope this helps.

Something's keeping your device awake. I'm assuming you've tried a battery pull?
From the looks of it I'd say Google Play Services is responsible. 20% Android System is completely normal (its battery representation is horrible bugged.). 11% GP services is not.
Google Play Services shouldn't even be in the list, unless you're running Google Play all day.

Google Play services draining battery

Play services has been the biggest consumer of the battery, lately. Are anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a solution?
My battery lasts half the time it did previously
