Using Wake Detector as per below screen shots, it is clear than more than 50% of the last two hours Google Search Audio was already awake! U wonder how much battery juice I would save if i am to disable it!

There have been threads about restricting Google Now (search) to reduce wake locks, data use, etc.
Google is much more concerned with keeping you online, than your battery life. Google Now pings the net frequently to build metrics and pave the way to place as many targeted ads in front of you as possible.
.

Thank you for your highlight. Then for sure I need to search for those threads

For those suffering from poor battery backup with official jb

For those having heavy battery drain after official jb update try the following setting under location services, it works great with just 1-4% battery drain in standby for me in 10-12 hrs:

This would render some of the Google Now services useless, isn't it?
I've used this trick in the past mainly to disable the stock maps app from wakelocks. It works for battery but is annoying if you need some of the other google services on tap.
it works for me. thanks

AudioIn Wakelock with Google Now Everywhere

Is this a necessay biproduct of always on listening? I have Google Now Everywhere enabled for all screens except the lockscreen. I did this in part for security and in part because CloudyG3 now supports full knock code for the vs980. The following screen shots were this morning after about 7 hours of idle screen off time (overnight). I do have high accuracy enabled in location with both reporting options enabled. I also have the Disable Services app but froze it just to see what would happen to battery life and what wakelocks appear. Basically I like Google Now a lot and want to use it to its fullest... yet at the same time I want to see what can be done to minimize the impact on battery life. What do yiu guys think?

I did it just for you
In short: yes, it is.
It's not considered wakelock if the program is always running, as you have requested.

Google services battery drain

Hello everybody,
For some reason, even after device complete reset, the Google Play services always on the of the Alarm list under BBS.
I'm mostly connected to 3G. It doesn't matter if I'm connected to each one, the problem continues. I feel the the battery drain really fast!
For example:
{
"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"
}
The number of Wakeups for the Google Play Services is always (ALWAYS!) higher than any other apps. Sometimes it reaches 300+ wakeups!
Another problem. The phone keeps rebooting by itself... don't know why...
I'm on Dr.Ketan v14 rom, but the problem existed even before this release.
Any solution for this kind of problem?
Thanks in advanced!

In BBS press and hold the wakelock, from there you can see what service causing that. In my case, it was the "UserPresenceService" causing the wakelock. I disabled it using this..Take a look at "Disable Service"

Hi there,
What ROM are you using?
Install Xposed by arter97 and Amplify, then configure the settings like this:

From appearances, it looks like Google Play Services is your culprit.
Actually, there are two methods to solve this issue:
1. Using modified version of Google Play services with reduced wakelocks.
2. Use Amplify to block wakelocks. That's why I redirect it to Extreme Battery Life guide thread.

Terrible battery life

Hey guys I am currently running official BQC5 firmware which I got through OTA update on my G930V. I have noticed that on Nougat it's battery life has become terrible. You can judge the battery life by taking a look at the attached screenshots. I have disabled various bloatware apps which I don't use using package disabler pro. Other than this, no modification has been done on my phone. I also keep display brightness below 50%.
So kindly suggest me how can I make the battery last longer again.
Thanks and Regards

Did you use the battery optimizer option? I have mine set to the middle setting. It's in the battery section of settings. Try that and see how it works.
