If you don't use maps at all, freeze with TB

And when you do use maps.... it's a hassle. If you have maps set up properly, it shouldn't even be using any battery life at all unless you turn the app on and actually start using it.
With your theory, you should freeze all apps you don't use? Doesn't make any logical sense.

I've got a similar issue with my battery usage. Comparing the maps usages on my N4 to my Photon, and on my N4, the usage is 10%, keep awake is 40m and the gps is 6m, and CPU is 8m.
For my Photon, the usage is 2%, the keep awake is 2h and the cpu total is 2m.
I do have CM10 on my Photon and still stock on my N4, but the behavior does seem odd. The N4 has much more usage

for me, unchecking location reporting did not fully do the trick. what you need to do is make sure maps does not autostart and cause wakelocks which decrease your battery life substantially. to do this, download an app called "autostarts" from the play store and disable all maps autostarts by sorting the autostart processes by app. this will not allow maps to autostart and use increased battery, but you will still be able to open maps normally and use it to its full extent

Exactly it doesn't make much sense.
The usual issue is Google will periodically use Maps to get a GPS fix and Wi-Fi list to update it's own Wi-Fi to Location database. Saves them driving around with cars all the time and getting complaints about privacy I suppose :cyclops: Often it is this background updating of Google Wi-Fi locations that continually pop Google Maps into the battery list even if we never use it between charges.
There is now an easy to use global setting to quickly disable Google Maps from doing this, this is under Settings - Accounts - Google - Location, flick the switch here to off, now Google applications can not poll for locations or do background updates, however other applications can still use GPS and request a location.

sorry for bumping this but quite recently my maps app has been consuming battery more than my wifi, it's comparable with OP's photo. Now here is the thing, I already had this problem before and I solved it by disabling location reporting and stuff, but a few days ago it suddenly began to consume battery as if i had reenabled the location reporting stuff. I have used a app called wakeup detector to try and find whats wrong and this is what I'm getting. I hope someone can help.

Download "Greenify" if you're rooted.

I believe this is Samsung S Health, the pedometer "Walking" application. If you do not use the pedometer, make sure the screen does not contain the widget, and make sure the tracking is stopped inside S Health.
On a second thought, it could also be Google Now, or latitude. Also disable location tracking in Now.
I use pedometer app and Now with location tracking on, and it is not draining the batt that much, but Maps does show up as high power consumer. The phone lasted 26 hours before I charged it today.

Could it be my foursquare widget? I think it might be.

I had this same exact problem, go in Maps > settings > location settings > uncheck: Report from this device, Enable location history, Automatic check-ins.
That will stop the battery drain / usage from Maps.

I also have noticed this, more noticeable after the update, anyways, is not that bad, but I have noticed draining since then, and when I check my Display is taking 54% of it and then Maps follows with 15%, I can tell you that every time I check is at 15%, and like the rest of you Maps is not opened, I have disable all Location Settings on Maps and have no Google Now widgets running, I have even tried disabling GPS and even after that, the Maps still there with 15%.
I thought that a reboot will help but still the same, any other suggestion?

Ugh. It definetly has some thing to do with location right?

I read that someone had this issue before. If I am correct, someone else suggested they remove the pre-installed "maps" APK that ships with the phone and then go to the APP Store and re-install Maps from there. I don't know if it worked or not or even why. You might want to try and search for the original thread. It was either here in the AT&T S4 forums or the original S4 forums. Again, it was just something I read when the phones first came out.

Maps is a known battery drainer. The best solution with the SII is Greenify, and I suspect that it will also work very well with the S4. Requires root. You can install from the play store, but go to the developer's xda thread and read the first three posts. Lots of folks just greenify Google maps and nothing else.

I just removed original Maps app, and installed Play Store one and now everything seems to be back to normal, so. my theory is that something occurred during the update with the maps app and is causing this, because it wasn't doing this before that.
Thanks for sharing.

I guess there is now way to fix this with out root? Thanks guys!

It's the location history option for Google maps. That is nothing to do with the phone and it had been a problem on many devices. Turn off location history and you should see it go down.

All this bad advice with such an easy problem to fix.
My location history and auto-update of location/gps is on at all times. This causes NO BATTERY DRAIN!!!
This is actually how to fix your Google Maps battery drain.
Go into Settings, Application Manager, All, then find Google Maps and Clear Cache / Clear Data. Exit all that and select the Google Maps app icon. I bet it says "updating to latest version" and all your problems are fixed with Google Maps and battery drain.
Google Maps does not show up in my battery information (it is hardly using any battery), even though my GPS is turned on all day and set to update location automatically. Google Maps does not even show up on my Battery status page unless I use the Navigation.

I'm not sure if this will always work, I tried this a couple of days ago and my battery drain returned pretty quickly. I had to disable location reporting and location history.

Same here, it worked for a while, but then once I opened Maps the next time, it came back, although, this time is showing 3-6% instead of the steady 15% I had before.

Have you tried to disable "report/update my location" in settings? Worked as a charm in my old S3. In the S4 haven't that huge drain.

Doesn't this break Google Now?

same thing with maps and i still had great battery life today

battery drains very fast with Google Services, Android Apps and Android Core System

Hey guys, me again, I have a problem over here one day my phone starts to consume a lot of battery, at first it was the contacts application, then logsprovider, then contact manager, finder application provider and in some cases the android application system, all that I consume the phone, one day is a day other which I can do, since I heated phone use and the battery runs out very quickly.
I have already installed the firmware twice with odin and after a few hours back the same, I've done factory reset and nothing working.

Go to Maps settings and turn off location reporting in Google locations setting. Also in Google+. Then go to your Gmail account in settings, long press on your email and uncheck all services you don't want to sync.

Fine thanks, also use the application Greenify

The new Android Device Manager location finder seems to be the culprit a lot of time now. If you are in a low signal area or have bad gps reception this new app that was pushed to the phone can suck down your battery. You have to disable this feature through the Google settings app in your app drawer.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'm still getting major battery drain from Google Services even with location reporting unchecked and device manager turned off. I don't have this problem on CM10.2, only TW (currently on stock MF9), even though I use the same setup on both roms. Any other tips?

I was finally able to take care of the problem. If you force stop Google Play Services and clear the app's data, then force stop the Play Store and clear the app's data, then reboot, it seems to take care of it.

thanks maxpower7, your reply helped. I was also having battery drain problems suddenly. I cleared the Google Play Services cache en some other things, like disabling location services. Now all is ok.
I did have these services enabled before without any problems.

copresGcore_EventLoop wakelock eating battery

Hello sinc the past few days I'm having this wakelock eating my battery. I tried to research what it is with very little success. I updated my rom to the latest slimkat and gapps with little success. Anybody had the same problem? Thank you

Same here
getting the same , keep awake solid 100% by this Google play services wake lock, any ideas on how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed my problem with copresGcore_eventloop
Ok, so awhile back I followed some tweaks to Google play services to save battery drain, see this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
Which worked rather well, but since the latest Google play services update went in I started getting the 'no deep sleep/keep awake' issue that BBS and GSAM showed as being caused by copresGcore_eventloop .
What I did was just reverse the tweaks in android tuner , and also removed my Google account and added it back and then rebooted. This has fixed my issue with copresGcore_eventloop .
I have not yet had time to see if reapplying the tweaks would start the issues again but likely will try that soon and will try to post back results.

After disabling some services I saw this wakelock today as well for the first time.
To fix the problem it was enough to re-enable
Code:

It is a full list of Google services disabled on my system (Xperia Ray SJB8 CM10). Probably, some of them aren't disabled by me but by some software due to appropriate settings.
Obviously, I do not recommend in any way to do such hacks on other systems. It is just my weird brutal parascientific experience. Kekeke.

What app is everyone using to disable these services? Thanks

I saw copresGcore_Eventloop wakelock in BBS. I then saw under Settings > Battery represented as Google Play Services. I then experimented with Greenify, DisableServices and using Titanium Pro to freeze apps following the link provided in the first few posts of this thread. All were very interesting but caused notifications about problems with Google Play Services. I'm on 4.4.2 and stumbled across App Ops in System Settings. I tapped on Google Play Services and unchecked a bunch of elements I don't use and it now doesn't appear on the list in battery. I have two google accounts, one is only used to share Google Play Music with my wife. I unchecked all the boxes on that account. I think there is a bug relating to having two google accounts.
Disclosure: this is on a Verizon Galaxy Note II running 4.4.2 Alliance ROM 30

Wakelock Detector app (not rooted)

Hi all! I have been experiencing unexplained battery drain with Android OS, Android System and Google Play Services in top 3 along with Screen. I need some app to detect which app/service is causing the Wakelocks so that I can take action. I cannot root due to restrictions on my corporate apps and they will stop working after root, which doesn't help. So I am looking for some app which can show wakelocks when I am not rooted.
Previously on Nexus 5 I had used 'Wakelock Detector' app, which had ADB workaround to make the app work even if your are not rooted. But unfortunately after Marshmallow update it stopped working.
