Facebook GPS drain? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Randomly started getting this intense GPS drain from Facebook. I'm on cleanrom 1.1 and have been since before this started. Location settings are all off including the Google ones. I even tried revoking GPS permissions from the app entirely but then it would not load. Anyone else getting the same issue? I will not that I am a beta tester for fb and I do get almost daily updates for it in the play store. The past 5 or so updates is where this had really been happening.

Facebook is well known for wakelocks. Try Greenify in the playstore...prevents the app from waking the phone up.

I have noticed that even in flight mode and screen off, there is a significant amount of battery drain (i saw 20% less in 6 hrs). With previews phone.. would be 2 to 5 %. I think that the key would be to underclock it in iddle mode
Do you have Google Now and maps location reporting enabled? Those two are major battery hogs.

This worked for me and a friend. Go to Application manager then Google Play services and click uninstall updates. After uninstalling launch Hangouts. It will tell you that you need to update at which point do so. Hope that helps you out like it did me.
I am willing to bet these drains all occur after Google app updates? It seems that most Google apps want to eat battery the first cycle after they were updated. What I have noticed though, is that even though the "battery" stats report Google services as using a lot of percentage, the actually time the phone takes before it needs charged is about the same as when battery stats doesn't report Google services as eating battery.
So, see if "Google services" or Maps or any other Google app doesn't settle down after a cycle and also check to see if it really is shortening the time your phone needs between charges. I suspect it might just be temporary or maybe reported to the phone wrong.
Except for Google Music, freeze it, it will eat your data.
i uninstalled the play services update, and i disabled location services..seems to be fine now. ill turn it back on after a while to see if problem is caused by updates.

I've had this standby battery issue with three s4s now. Really annoying. My nexus four with a smaller battery lasts way longer

Google Services Battery Drain

Today I noticed that Google Services is draining battery by using some services but unlike before it is using it a lot.
Did any one experience this strange issue?
Turn off GPS and auto sync.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the ways we can take in order to save a bit more battery, but then again, why are we buying high-end devices with GPS tracking for whatever apps or security as I have (cerberus app) or real-time mails of work, social feed, etc.
Someone will say that they don't need instant mails on the device or don't want the GPS; point is, having GPS/push notifications should not be an issue for any user since those are the features we can, want, could use..
Only thing I really miss on blackberry devices...
This did not happen before which makes it strange, well at least not having that much percentage.

X2. I agree, google services wasn't that bad for me before. But the last week or 2 its been quite bad. Im running rootmax v4 and am struggling to make my phone last 24 hours on one charge now, whereas before I could do it. GTALK_ASYNC_CONN.... is the bugger thats causing wakelocks for me!

Just to update on this. I done some reading online and found a few people mentioned that it was the latest play store update causing the battery drain. I went ino the app manager and deleted the update an went back to the original playstore apk that came with the rom.THis seems to have reduced my google services drain and my phone is lasting longer now

[Q] Betterbatterystats help

Hi, I need help to figure out why I'm getting so more much awake time than screen on time.
According to the partial wake lock stats audioout_2 is the one that keeps waking up my phone... Tho the time running is not very high so I'm a little confuse here...
Is anything else I'm missing here??
Thanks
PD sorry for my bad English

hi..
Audio out 2 is the touch/screenlock sounds.
try disable and monitor it in BBS again in few hours' time.
Playing music will cause AudioOut_2 wakelock.
I get it when using any music player.
Hi, I already have touchscreen wakelock sound disabled.
Using wakelock detector, I found Facebook app is draining a lot of battery, but I'm not sure If that's the app that causes the audioout_2 wakelock.
I downloaded greenify , so I'll try add the app there.
Thanks

Hi, at the moment I'm not using my phone for playing songs. Maybe some other app? I've read that viber could cause this wakelock, I uninstall it but still the same.
Thanks!

whatsapp is another wakelock culprit preventing yr device to deep sleep..
what I would suggest to u is to unchecked sync contacts in whatsapp setting.
that would minimise the wakelocks if u still intend to use it.
so does exchange mail service..
maybe try to change refresh intervals to 4 hours and monitor it from there.
nlp collector is caused by location is being turned on in yr device settings.
turn location to off if u want it to go away.
and after 4 hours, post a dump file from BBS here again, mate.
other things to look at BBS is the high number of counts on each services running in the partial wakelocks.
besides these, there are more..

Started seeing this a day or so ago out of the blue. Weird that we're all like a month apart. Still happening to you two?
I'm also stock 4.3 (JWR66Y)
Sorry if this reads as being short or frantic; just tired. ;]
Cheers.
Cacheupdateservice wakelock for me was caused by wallet. Also check to see you dont have anything related frozen or disabled in startup.

Anyone else have suggestions? Its killing my battery. No wallet installed, I uninstalled Keep thinking it may be that but it wasnt. I'm at a loss here.
Did you mess with startup services?

Had this issue on my G2. After much frustration, i ended up uninstalling google play services with titanium backup, then reinstalling them. To reinstall them, I uninstalled a google play app (google play music in my case) and reinstalled it. The play store then had me install google play services from there.
Sleeping like a baby since.
add these 2 entries to your build.prop

What exactly does that do?

Onmy side, he issue was caused by a profile manager (PhoneWeaver) and the usage of a location based profile that was constantly checking whether the phone is in the relevant location. I deleted this profile, restarted the phone and then everything seemed to be normal again.

High Google Play services?

For some reason google play services seems kinda high... its the second highest on my list. I'm not sure what could be causing this.. any ideas?

That app is a hog! If you're rooted go ahead and make it a user app then greenify it. If you aren't rooted then Idk what you can do because unfortunately you can't uninstall it. :/

Make sure in the location services WiFi and data is unchecked. And you can also download betterbatterystats to figure out what the drain is also. Your battery should look like this. Screen should be the most used.

I turned off location services and location history last night before I went to bed, Seems much better. Google play services isn't even on the list anymore. I'll have to see how it goes today.
yeah, it seems every app wants access to your location.
i seem to have more issues on kk roms and none on TW roms like Golden Eye--may vary for others--
