Starting this week I've been experiencing a serious battery drainage in my device.
I've noticed this drainage happens at a time when Location Services appear to be working, for no apparent reason.
Now, I always have Location Services on, but I can never see it in the upper bar (the one where you can see the time, Wi-Fi connection, battery) unless I use an app that relies on it.
However, in the past few days, I see Location Services up there even though I'm not using any app that relies on it. What's worse is that it stays there even after I close all apps. In regular cases it tends to remain there as long as the app that needs it is running. As soon as I close the app, Location Services disappear from the upper bar.
If I turn off Location Services it will go away. However, once I turn it on it will be up there again. It will only go away if I reboot my phone.
Do you guys have any idea what may be causing this? I bought by Nexus 6p by the end of February and hadn't experienced this issue until this week. Before that, my battery usage was normal, and I could go a full day without having to charge my battery.
This issue, on the other hand, can drain my battery in the span of 1 or 2 hours.
Already noticed this problem and found the reason: Maps!

But I haven't used them.
For example, today I faced that problem solely by opening up Facebook. Then I rebooted my phone, opened up Facebook again but the problem didn't happen.
Now, I'm thinking this isn't happening by simply opening Facebook or Twiiter, but whenever I open them through the notification bar.
This is really odd.
I noticed the same battery drain. One night my phone batter wound up being pretty much dead. Today I noticed significant drain and when I looked at battery use, I saw where the consumption seemed to increase and observed the location services icon at the top of the phone that wouldn't go away even after making sure all apps were shut down. I don't really have many apps on my phone (certainly not ones that need location, so I suspect a recent update to Maps.
My first step was to delete and reinstall the updates. so let's see if that fixes it. If not, I'll just remove the updates and run that way until another version comes out. I suspect is just a goofed install or we would hear far more complaints of this issue.
I was literally getting ready to make a post about this. Sure enough, force-closing Maps stopped the issue. Glad to see it wasn't just me.
I'm having the same issue. I get the location icon on my status bar at random times and it stays there until a reboot. It eventually comes back. Pretty annoying as it is causing my phone not to deep sleep. I'm on stock with Franco kernel.

I'm having the same issue on latest stock firmware on both my SM-N910T3 & SM-T700. Started noticing the location icon all the time about a week ago, just about when it came out with the latest update on 4/1.
Well, uninstalling and reinstalling the updates to Maps didn't fix anything. I have uninstalled the updates and will monitor.

Facebook is, by far, the worst app you can have downloaded. It is the cause of general phone issues and bad battery life. I uninstalled both FB and FB messaging and my wake lock issue was fixed and, in turn, my battery life is noticeably better

I did a full master reset of my phone and am only running default applications. I still get the runaway location services. Before I did that, I downgraded Maps and that seemed to help. But then my phone automatically updated it. I know I can probably fix that situation but I'm surprised we aren't seeing more people with the problem.
Nexus 5x owner here (but posting my experience since this is literally the only thread on this anywhere).
Symptoms: Similar to everyone in this thread, location icon was popping up and staying resident in the top status bar. This was happening even without an event launching and causing massive battery drain. This was atypical of usage since my phone is basically not even used (essentially a notification machine with light text usage).
Checking the location menu, everything was listed as light usage, except for Maps as heavy usage (even though Maps wasn't even launched or in the recents menu)
Variables: Unfortunately, since my phone has been perfect since launch, I haven't been paying attention to all the updates granularly to isolate what was causing this. But, I do know for sure it happened after the April Monthly update and after a Maps update.
Troubleshooting: I was hoping it wasn't a system update issue, so I started poking around in the Maps settings to see if maybe a new Maps service was launched that was auto-enrolling users and potentially causing battery drain. Nothing to note, but I did notice I was signed out of Maps, which seemed weird. So I went ahead and re-signed into Maps with my Google Account.
Results: I honestly didn't expect this to have any impact, but the location issue hasn't come up after signing into Maps. It's been ~ 3 weeks and 4 battery cycles since I've had the location issue.
I'm not sure if signing in helped or maybe a server side Maps update fixed the bug, but if you're still having the location issue, it's worth a shot to see if you're signed into Maps (and sign in to try to fix the location issue).
If this does work for you, please report back since it will help in data gathering (and also we can let Google know the exact details of the issue and the potential fix so this bug doesn't hit in future versions).
Anyone else notice this? I set the DND automatic rules to Alarms Only from 10pm to 6am, Sundays through Thursdays. The phone will automatically turn on DND at 10pm, but for some reason it never switches off at 6am. Once I notice, I can manually turn it off but that defeats the purpose of having an automatic rule in place. I've noticed this on both the March and April updates, but I'm pretty sure it worked properly before that.

I am having the same problem, did you ever find a solution?
I noticed this the other day on my 6P. It works properly in Safe Mode (you can tell when you adjust the volume control as it displays the rule name instead of the generic 'until you cancel it'). This means some app I had installed was messing with it.
I tried deleting a lot of apps but none made a difference. I ended up doing a factory reset and all is well. I have reinstalled almost all of my apps and it is still working. The only ones I have yet to install that deal with notifications are Tasker, and DLink and Samsung camera apps. Yet I deleted them before the reset and it didn't change anything.
Previous to me noticing this, I had set up a Tasker profile to read my notifications to me; in this case all notifications. I have a feeling this may have broken something (Android is so brittle), but odd that the behavior persisted after disabling Tasker (and even uninstalling it).

No, I think it just fixed itself at some point. I am Having the same issue again on my new phone (Xperia XZ), so I'll post here if I figure it out.
Oops I just posted the same question before finding this thread. Having the same problem on my 6P which was upgraded from M to N. I have a 5X too that I started fresh on N (stock image flash) and it works fine on that one, just not on my 6P. Not sure if it's the upgrade M to N or specific to the 6P.
I tried deleting the rule and re-creating it but it doesn't help.
(if a mod could please merge the 2 threads)

I have this same issue. I had it on the Pure Nexus ROM too. Now I'm on stock 7.1.1 and the DND still doesn't turn off when it's supposed to. Annoying AF.
Not sure what we can do about it, I'm thinking not use the rules and instead use an automation app to do it, the likes of MacroDroid, Automagic, etc. Don't know if such apps would require root to turn DND on/off though.
It happens since marshmallow, sometimes a reboot fix the issue and sometime you have to turn off the automatics rule manually turn on and off the DND and reboot.
I get this issue when DND is set on automatic rules and i change it to on or off manually (only sometimes).
Interesting, I never had a problem on M, it only started for me after I upgraded to N.
I didn't have this problem after I upgraded to N, it was the October security update when the problem started for me.
There's a bug filed it seems. Hopefully Google will do something about it. Please vote for the issue to be fixed.

Are you using Android Wear? It seams, that after today's update AW app (version 2.0.0.138705214), problem with DND mode went away. Look at Apkmirror for that version, and please report, if it solve this problem you as well.

I do use Android Wear and I got the update to 2.0.0.138705214 this afternoon. I will report tomorrow morning if the Automatic rule turned itself off. Thanks for the tip.
It seems that the latest Android Wear fixed the issue for me, at least for now. I hope it sticks. Yes, I use Wear.

Same here.
Android Wear update seems to have fixed it for me too.
Yep, it's been working fine for 2 days now.

anyone have this problem? I have a feeling it's because of doze but even at that when I turn the phone on, nothing comes through until I actually open the app. anyone else have this?

I have an AT&T model, and yes, sometimes Gmail is received late. I've had people send me an email, and 10 minutes later nothing has happened. Then I open the Gmail app, and 5 messages suddenly show up. This is intermittent. Most of the time I don't see a delay.
weird. maybe it's just super aggressive doze.

I have the same issue. I have gone into the settings for the battery. Added Gmail to the ignore optimizations list. I don't know yet if that fixes the problem.
For what it's worth, I had exactly the same issue on my Note 7. I can't remember for certain, but I think I did something similar there to fix it. I may even have completely disabled battery optimization.
I'm experiencing the same issue. Even after ignoring battery optimization for Gmail. Sometimes it doesn't notify at all until I open the app, several hours after the emails arrived.
I have this exact same issue with Gmail and Kik (messenger). I wasn't aware that there was a battery optimization setting to ignore certain apps, so I'm going to give that a try later today.
Add me to this list too
Me too on V20 and my Note 4. Send and recieving sometimes hours later. Frustrating. Tried wiping caches, reinstalling and reflashing. I dont believe its my phones.
An update on how I got on. I added Gmail to the ignore optimizations list as I previously said. That didn't seem to resolve the issue. So I thought about what else might be used by the phone to process incoming email. I went through the list and I also added Google Services Framework. That seems to have worked and I'm waking up to a phone with pending notifications.
I have the same problems. Where is this battery optimization option located? I can't seem to find it.
Thank you
It's in settings, general, battery and power saving, battery usage, optimizations

Hello!
I'm running a stock Verizon HTC 10 with the latest OTA updates. This phone seems to have a problem with push notifications after it has been "sleeping" or idle for awhile. I don't know exactly what that time period is, but it seems to be about 30 minutes. Once the screen goes black and the phone has been idle in this state for this time period, the phone stops getting (or checking for-however that works) push notifications. There is no blinking LED or sound notification that mail has come for gmail or Outlook. The phone will still answer calls and notify upon receipt of text messages. Usually within a few seconds of turning the screen on from the idle state, the gmail and Outlook notifications come. When the phone screen is on, or within a few minutes of turning the screen off, the push notifications will still come, but then stop.
I googled about this, and there seems to be quite a bit of discussion about it. I have tried the suggested remedies, but they don't work (unsync/sync gmail, clear data/cache for the apps, turn battery optimization off, delete/re-add accounts, along with some others). For work, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have this problem. Furthermore, my wife also has an HTC 10, and her phone doesn't seem to have the problem either (although I have not tested it thoroughly).
I've been through various settings, checked the do not disturb settings, but I can't seem to figure this out. I am probably missing some setting. It seems that the phone is going into some deep sleep mode after a period of time and disabling these apps, but keeping others, like the phone and SMS functions, alive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Are you using power saver mode? What about the boost+ app?
Also a lot of people started having similar issues after the first update to Nougat for U.S Unlocked. Later updates fixed the issue, but it sometimes still happening with Gmail for me.

I am not using power saver mode, and the Verizon version doesn't have the boost+ app installed.
Hello,
recently I decided to update my Mi A1 to Android 9.0. Unfortunately it turns out that I have a big problem with notifications. Sometimes they come "normally", at the time they should. However, it often happens that notifications appear with a delay of 10-30 minutes. Sometimes they don't even come at all until I turn on the screen. In this case of course I am talking about the lack of notifications when the phone is unused. However, I once had a case when notifications from Facebook Messenger did not come for more than 3 hours, despite the use of the phone - car navigation, browsing the Internet, notes, etc. Messenger didn't show notifications of new messages until I opened it. I've tried to turn off the adaptive battery mode, but it did not help. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything worked well on Android 8.0, but I do not feel like going back to it again.
