I was using GPS on and off during a trip, but whenever I'd turn it off, I'd make sure WiFi services in location settings was off too. And data too. But Google services kept going up, why? I checked for wakelocks and found none. Doesn't make sense

Did you turn off Google Location services?
Yes, that's what I meant by Wi-Fi services

Interesting. I saw that Google services were on the top of the list for using the battery and went into Location services and unchecked that same box and just left GPS turned on and Google Service were no longer an issue. Have you tried pulling the battery? I remember that on my Note 2 sometimes things got "stuck" and pulling the battery was the only way to fix it.

I'm having an issue with my n7. The maps app that I never use is constantly eating loads of battery. Its always the second thing in the battery usage list. I never use it! why is it draining my battery?

I think its built to start up automatically during certain actions such as wifi being turned on. You should be able to disable it in settings > apps. If you're rooted, you uninstall it.

I'm rooted but I don't want to completely uninstall it. For now I have disabled location services, so I will see how well that works.

It is a Google service and I have disabled location services and Google Now. Does not seem to make a difference. I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. I have the phone set up basically the same apps as my N4 and my Nexus is crushing my G2 in battery life. Any ideas would be great on what is causing this.

add me to the list of people this is driving nutzo.
Question, when you go to google sync under settings/accounts and sync, does it show that 'sync is not available at this time?'
I wonder if that could be causing it?
I am waiting for my case to make it my daily driver but last night I tinkered and went and set up all my Google apps and changed my Google plus photo to only upload on charger. When I turned it off it was deep sleeping and and that wake lock was no where to be found. If anyone wants to try this and see if it helps.

I realize it's not a lot of actual CPU time that Google Services uses but it does keep the Note 3 awake, not the screen but the device itself. It's using 20% of my battery and keeps it awake about 16% of the time. One app or another has to be causing this as other devices I've used Google Services only accounted for about 2%. How's everyone else doing?

Remove g+ sync.
I turned off both wifi location and g+ sync but I have a feeling it's g+ sync because I hadn't noticed it was on and I usually leave wifi location on. I'll try to narrow it down. Thanks for the tips.
Edit: wifi location was the culprit. Not sure why it uses so much CPU time and wakelock on the Note3 and not on other devices. Actually I think it's all Samsung devices. My galaxy tab is the same way but not our Motorola phones. Same version of Android.

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--

My battery life has gone to hell since the 2nd 4.4.2 update on [email protected] last week. I was getty 36 to 48 hours every time. As soon as the new update went in things changed the next day. Now I am lucky to get10 to 12 hours out of it. I have started pulling app but nothing has worked.
The battery drain on my once perfect S4 is now worse then on my LG Thrill!
Some things that helped control my battery in Kit Kat
In KitKat Google changed how location services works which seems to cause a lot of the battery drain issues. If you have Wi-Fi turned off during sleep, apps are likely trying to get your location using GPS which will easily drain your battery. It seems like even with Location Services is turned off that some apps can still continue to try and request location. Personally I like using the location services and that many apps use in Android so completely disabling wasn't an option for me.
I've played around with it quite a bit myself and found these settings have helped me::
-Leaving Google Location Services on at High Accuracy has been better on my phone's battery life.
-Leave Wi-Fi always on if it's available. (Use something like Llama or Tasker to automatically turn Wi-Fi on and off.)
-Setup My Places in Locations that correspond to Wi-Fi, etc
-Try uninstalling/reinstalling updates to Google Search, Google Play Services and Google Play Store
-Go through your apps and uninstall anything you aren't using or is not from a reputable developer. A lot of apps seem to have keep awake and location permission enabled by default that don't need it. You won't see these apps in the battery screen because they hide behind tiny wake lock requests and Google Play Services.
Another tip for saving battery is to use LLama or Tasker to disable Account Syncs any time you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network.
Good Luck and Cheers
