Battery drain due to google services on JB 4.3

Hello community,
there has been a problem that is driving me insane for a few days. I have had this problem with I think all roms based on android 4.3:
google services keeps my phone awake!
WIth trickster mod I could see that my phone never (!) goes into deep sleep. Wondering about that, I flashed some other 4.3 roms - same result. Google services is No.1 battery consumer. Please don't say... "it's your apps or gps that keeps your smartphone awake" because it is not!
After some research I found that many users, most prominently 4.3 users, have a similar issue. Appearently, there has been some problem with that since one of the latest updates so that either google maps, gps, google now, or services in general cause this drain. Updating did not help, going back to an older gapps version did not help me either.
Finally I went back to miui being based on 4.2.2 and ever since the drain has stopped and my phone enters deep sleep almost immediately after switching the screen off.
Who has the same problems? Has someone found a real solution, other than deactivating all google apps? At least, this did not help me...

Thx I have read it but did not find a solution to my problem as most still suggest to turn off gps or wlan options... Although I have to admit that it is related to my problem but yeah... searching the xda app is more than difficult
one user wrote to stop wifi from constantly scanning... will have to try this the next time I am going back to 4.3 but surely many (or all?) users are suffering from this?

Same problem here.
Flashed XL based on cm10.2 + core jb gapps (20130821) and immediately noticed this insane battery drain. Battery stats showed Google Services as a main cause of the drain, so I did some researching, and found out, that switching Location improvement (Wi-Fi & mobile network location) would walk around that wakelock bug in google services. So I turned it off, and it helped for a couple of days.
Then I decided to sync my contacts with google account, and after a while, I've noticed the battery drain again, but this time nothing helps. I believe I've switched off everything I could in every Google app I have, and yet the drain remains.

Hy im allso having this problem, snice yesterday battery drain from google services ..im still on CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) waiting for stable 10.2 to show up.. I keep all my sync and all locations off, no extra "funny" aps..not even facebook app.
(I have' service disabler ' because my phone was suffering from data lost..consumed by google framework..but it solve it..)
I allso search before posting but no solution since all location services that i have found are off since i have this phone..
Ps. New to nexus. Only about two months.. Any clue? Greets

Android system drain is killing me

I see people getting up to 6h of screen time, I can barely get 3,3.5h. Android system is constantly my biggest drainer.
I'm rooted, I disabled all bloatware I can think of. I'm still new to the phone and I don't know what else to disable. I even disabled Google Now completely.
GPS off ,WiFi on, 3g signal is good, auto sync is on. I lose about 10% over night while doing nothing.
Any ideas?
This is on very light usage, about 45min of screen time, some texting and calls only.

I have titanium backup so I'll disable Google backup completely.
About location services, should I disable it for Google apps only(under Google settings) or system wide via settings> location access?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Do the following one by one and observe your battery life after each try
1. Disable Google backup
2. Disable Google Location Access
3. Disable Android Location Access (the one with gps and mobile network)
4. Disable knock on/off sensor

In data settings are you on global or something else? global will use more so you may see people getting better results but if the are on 3g/lte for example, the phone isn't constantly searching for the global connection.

I'm not on international but 3g/lte

Went to sleep with 100%, woke up with 89%. I installed wakelock detector and it seems Swype was keeping my phone awake for 3h. I uninstalled it and will see if that fixes the issue.
I just don't understand why android system was registered as the main culprit in both Gsam and BBS.

That's a good sign, at least you can identify which app is the culprit.

Keyboard. Swype has had this issue since forever ago on the G2. All its network bs, voice crap, ect. Figured they would of fixed it by now. I've been happy with stock LG keyboard.

It seems the only thing which gets down the Android system drain is number 4,disabling knock on. But I like that feature. :-/

Weird, isn't it?
Now, it's your choice to enable or disable it but at least, you know the culprit.

I don't get why it's displaying as gravity sensor. The Doubletap uses the touchscreen, nothing to do with accelerometer / rotation / tilt. I still say it's a software bug... this has been reported numerous times, still baffles me, never see it.

Here is another thread about this problem

Simple. Turn KnockOn off and Android system will never again go that high. The touch screen drains power when idling waiting for you to knock on

There will be no fix. How could you fix touch screen to not drain power if waiting for knock on? How? It's physics and you can't fix physics

That may very well be, but it's not logical that such a simple feature uses more power than the screen itself.

Android system is almost always at the top of my list as well. As suggested, turned off knock on/off and disabled the LG backup option.

the screen works, like, 3-5 hrs. And touch screen is 10-20 hrs constantly drains. Even if touch consumes way less current it does it long period of time hence power drainage.
So if your G2 primarily lays in pocket and you don't wake it up every hour or half an hours simply turn knockon off and use power key as I do and be happy :laugh:
What is more powerconsuming is NLP in 4.4 kitkat which you can't turn off at all and THAT is the power drain which IS REAAAALLY BAAAAAAAAAD. I hate Google, the NSA beach

[Q] Battery Drain issues , need help !!!

If you can't find the source of the drain try a factory reset.

We went through so many threads like that, my man.
Do a search.
For the headup, assuming that you have already turned off Android location access, turned off Google location access, turned off auto-sync (I know you said you needed it but just for now, off it), turned off gps/mobile networks, do the following
a. disable Knock On/Off feature
b. disable CIQ (if you don't have CIQ, then ignore this step)
Note: do one by one and make an observation how the battery life behaves after each change.
Oh, btw, reboot the phone, say, right after unplugging the charge.

In term of battery life, I was considering myself as one of the unlucky one but after done all those, I got pretty good result. Normally last about 3 days with 6 hrs screen-on time and 4 hrs talk time. No wakelocks

you should know better than to give stats.... standby hours and battery life is varied alot by user, ambient temperature and etc.
OP if you feel thats not right, flash another rom see if it help, I'm using energy rom, its good for me so far.

Try remove some bloat and apk with titanium... A regular user can often remove 100 apk from these roms! And use bootmanager and greenify! Greenify is must have!

Don't hope, fix now.
If I was you, I would backup all my important personal info on the phone and factory reset it.
I would do those tricks one by one w/o installing any app yet and see how the battery fares after each charge.
General speaking, we need to understand the root cause and find the solution from there, if it needs to be rooted to fix the problem then you root it otherwise, blindly rooting and assuming everything else will fix isn't the right way to debug.

fact reset done , only whatsapp installed. same issue so i installed my other apps as well. im guessing its a kernel issue

N910F, "Android OS" battery drain - can't determine the cause

This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts

Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?

I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...

Can't root Verizon unfortunately

Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.

Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.

Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

I get through entire day... About 3.5 screen hours on. At 7pm I'm at 20% typically. Maybe that's bad?

Finow X3+ Battery Life help

I got my new Finow X3+ watch this past week and although I'm really impressed with the look, speed and overall capability of the device, all of that means squat when it can't make it past 8 or 9 hours on a good day with very limited use (basically only checking the time and notifications with only BT tether and cell on, no WIFI).
Not sure if it was bad OTAs that I installed when I got it or what's going on but I think it has something to do with phone not sleeping..If anyone can give tips to save battery that you've found for unrooted x3+ please let me know.
Also does anyone know of a way to disable the pedometer hardware as I'm pretty sure that's the a big issue. Thanks guys

The cell network is the batt hogger. What do you expect from that tiny batt? Because Watch standby is perfect.

It's true, since turning off cell service I can usually get almost a full day (7am-10pm) just using it as a companion watch with m2d but it's disappointing not being able to use it the way I thought I could.
But how are you getting 3.5 days on one charge? I don't think mine goes into full deep sleep possibly because pedometer always logging info? Please let me know if you know how to disable the pedometer constantly running since I'd rather use it and the Heart monitor on an "as needed" basis. Any help is appreciated.

You have installed this update?

Yea I did...should I not have installed it?

I read that drains the battery, you've seen any change?

I turned off GPS and WIFI and also ios notification which was big battery hog and it made big difference. How did you stop other sensors and pedometer though? I can't find those settings.

As ios turn off notifications?

Yea I turned off the ios push notification like you're showing in your pic, was taking about 10% battery in mine too. It didn't have any effect on notifications from phone to watch cause I don't use iPhone. Saved good amount in battery too.
So you know how I can disable pedometer if that's possible?

But as ios notifications is disabled?

I force closed ios notifications from the running apps list but for some reason it still takes some battery. Anyway I solved my issue: I did factory reset and then downloaded a phone booster app someone recommended on the Google group page.
Went from ~8-10 hours light use to about a day and half on one charge with moderate use. If anyone has battery life issues for seemingly no reason then try this. Thanks for your help mad.

What phone booster app?
