[Solved] Google Service wakelock too high

I don't know if this is normal but my phone has very high Google Service wakelock and my Phone Idle is nearly equal with my Screen On although the Screen On time is 2h42m
The Tablet Idle in my Nexus 7 is significantly lower than the Screen On even when I keep it for more than 3 days with light usage.
Below is some screenshots taken with Wakelock Detector and my battery stat:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can someone shed me some light whether Google is messing up their services or my phone is behaving abnormally
Thanks for your help :laugh:

Make sure auto-sync is off. Reboot your phone and it should be fine.

OK, I will try that and report back later
UPDATE: I found the culprit that causes this wakelock. Basically it's the wifi bug that drop the connection when device go to sleep make this. When the wifi drop, the Gtalk service tries to contact the google server but cant and keep retrying, that's where the massive wakelock come from Google Service.
So while we wait for Google to provide a proper fix for this you can try this method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930. It works for me, the wakelock is gone
Make sure your phone is rooted
Remount /system as RW
Make a backup of file /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Edit the file /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Change the line "McastBcastFilter=3" to "McastBcastFilter=0"
Save the file and double check file permissions (-rw-r--r-- root root)
Reboot the phone

It might have something to do with Voice Typing. Try disabling Google Search from Keyboard Input Methods. Or try clearing the data of Android Keyboard.

I get the same issue.
Noticed it because my device got really hot and I saw all four cores constantly above 1,5 GHz (Galaxy S4).
If you look in Apps you will see that Google Keyboard is constantly starting dictionary service. Do not disable the keyboard because the device gets unusable due to Force Closes.

same problem
I have same problem with Google keyboard. Just now I restricted background data for wi-fi and mobile and I noticed that my phone cooled down very fast. I'will test it today and let you know what I found out.

Fixed problem with keyboard draining battery by restricting it's background data both on wi-fi and mobile. Before I got about 2h of SOT on full charge(100%-0%), and now I got 1h 45min SOT on 20%(100%-80%)

over 4gb.... I usually strict my data usage to certain mb. That way I don't have to worry about it. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

Help and what happened - aospa browser downloaded 1GB of data.

So today I got this nice notice of Android that I'm reaching my mobile data cap. So as it seems, is that the aospa browser downloaded 1GB of data in the background during the night between 1 and 2 november.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm very concerned on what caused this and costed me €10 of mobile data. I deinstalled the browser from /system/apps for now. I don't use the aospa browser myself, I use Google Chrome.
Can I check somewhere, or in some logs what it did and what caused it?
BTW, the data is really used, and not just a bug in the "Data Usage"-tab, as my carrier states I only got 178MB left for the month.

Have u done any speed tests for the your mobile data? Usually that eats a lot of data; even just doing one test.

No, and besides that would turn up that the speedtest app would have consumed that data, and even in the background.
Specifically the aospa browser downloaded 1.05GB in the BACKGROUND.

Thread closed so the OP can create a new one in Android Q&A, as per request.

[Q] Random GPS usage?

I bought a galaxy tab 4 a couple of days ago and have noticed that when I go to turn the screen on, the device is finding a gps location but there are not any apps open on it.
This is a screen shot of all the apps that can use my location:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can anyone tell me why it is doing this? Thanks.

They're running in the background. Like it or not if they are closed they still search for your location.

Friend I think you can change 1 setting and remove most if not all these..... I say most because I have been changing my settings today and I am not sure if I changed one of these.
The first two attachments show settings.
The last shows a graph. During this 12 hour period the GPS was used 6 times. The six times I opened Google maps.

Do you have any 3rd party launchers/widgets installed ? You may want to look into that list of apps first. I would also uninstall lesser known apps first, one by one, and check which one caused the issue

I actually did that, no widgets, no launcher just the page you see in the screen shots, no lesser known apps, nothing fixes it.

I'm not sure if this would work, but try disabling Nearby Device Scanning from settings and see if this fixes the issue.

I used to get that when the profile sharing thing was enabled, can't remember what it is called exactly but it was a Samsung thing that lets you share your gallery to family members etc. I debloated my phone though so can't remember the name exactly.

I don't get the error when I'm connected to WiFi only get the error when I'm not connected to any data or when I'm on 4g.
