Got my s7 edge 4 days ago and ever since i got this nasty google play-services bug. It seems to wake up the phone, a lot.
Attached screenshot is taken just 2 hours off the charger. The amount of wakeups for the play-services is already at almost a thousand. Running completely stock with the latest apg4 build .
Tried disabling location services to no avail. Got the phone hooked up to my moto 360 and nothing else really.
Anyone knows a possible fix for this problem?
Also, the android system and android OS is quite high up in my battery overview, almost at the same level as the display.
Shameless self-bump, no one knows a solution for this problem? Tried the usual wipe play services cache already but it didnt do the trick.
Try disabling location history. Is battery life an issue? If not, I wouldn't worry too much.

Hello!
I received my nexus on Monday and so far I've only noticed one problem: there's a mysterious "Google services" process draining my battery. Just from leaving the phone unplugged over night the battery is already half drained. Looking at the battery stats I get this data, which I really can't understand. With this wake and cpu times, it makes no sense at all that this is draining the battert, does it? What's going on?

I have the exact same thing google services has taken 43% but battery life had been ok not great not bad but just ok
I've had that.
Fixed by disabling location history.
Are you using Google currents. When the nexus 7 came out many had issues with drain when they had Google currents installed. For me it didn't even master if I had it synced. I uninstalled it and problem solved. Since I don't have mine yet that's the only thing I can recommend.

Disabled Google Currents (can't be uninstalled) and unchecked Location Reporting and Location History from the maps app. Will report later this night
Thanks.

not fully related, but on my N7, I was getting crazy battery drain from google wallet after updating it. Reverting wallet back to the stock version that came on the N7 fixed it. (even stranger was that I never setup wallet for NFC to begin with, and I keep NFC off)
disable sync from your gg account. gg services include gg book, magazine, music, map, chorme, gmail...
Having the same issue. Didn't start draining till about 4 hours off the charger...
I am also having this issue. Google Service is the number 1 battery eater. Right now it is at 56%.
Did anyone find the cure?
I'm having this problem. Cleared all data, installed a new kernel etc. A ton of Google stuff disabled, currents included. Only sync I have to both my connected Google accounts are gmail to my knowledge.
Help!!
Disable Location Services, especially the Wifi one.

Both are off and have been off.
Also having the same problem - after doing a quick search, seems to be affecting a lot of people. Has anyone found a solution?
I am NOT rooted, completely stock. Had phone about a week, and today was the first day I noticed significant battery drain (down to <10% in 8 hours) under very minimal use at work (sat in desk drawer most of the day)

I have the same problem, I dont know when it started, I think after updating from 4.1.2 to 4.2.x. Anyone found a solution?
I'm just now having the same issue here even after trying turning off those different things. There doesn't seen to be anything definitive out there online when I searched. It's probably something Google will have to fix, or will fix hopefully.
Same here. I went through all of the google settings and switched off everything (Contacts and Calendar were the only things I left ticked). Nothing seems to work...
I uninstalled Maps entirely and made sure none of Google's features were enabled but for some reason, Google Services is still eating its way through my battery.
and its not only on nexus.iam suffering the same drain with my xperia T too
I noticed this after the Google Services Update which includes a lot of new API's.

Hi - newbie here hoping to get to the bottom of my battery drain problem.
Somewhat unusually I think, I am seeing problems only when I have wi-fi switched on. It took me a while to realise as I have wi-fi at work and home and I wouldn't normally have turned wi-fi off as I always understood that 3G uses more power.
I tried installing BetterBatteryStats but I am not rooted so it is only giving limited information. What it does tell me is that I am draining the battery at a rate of 9% or so an hour on wi-fi and about 1.4% on 3G. This is with very light or no actual use of the phone. The top two wakelocks by a big margin are msm_hsic_host and PowerManagementService.WakeLocks.
I have virtually nothing running according to my running processes list - mainly the Google ones like Google Play Services, Google Keyboard.
I couldn't put my finger on exactly when this started but it was towards the end of 2013. I did have the really bad drain with Google Play for a few days until the next Android update came. What I'm seeing now is not as bad as that was. I couldn't say whether I had a period after that update when things for a while were better than they are now but my feeling is that things have never been great since the 4.4 updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions please? Am I going to have to root to get better info to debug this problem?
OK, I'm too having this problem and couldn't find any concrete solution for this.
Without full use of batterystats application, the information that you provide don't help much.
Could be many things.

Hi, folks.
So I've installed an update yesterday (I think it's the security update from the first of January)
http://imgur.com/d0IkGXV
and my battery immediately went down the drain. These are the usage statistics during the night:
http://imgur.com/VwFGP2k
http://imgur.com/qO66N4F
From what I can see, the phone has been awake the entire night. That can't be normal, right?
Since this update has been around since January, has anybody else had these issues with this update? Any solutions?
Same model,same update, same issue.Others say that battery life increased with this update, but for me not.Factory reset didn't help. Maybe Google f*** services again.
I'm on N910C and have the latest update for my region (DQA1). Although my battery life hasn't been as good as I've seen in the past, it's definitely not as bad as what you're seeing and my phone doesn't stay awake all night. I do use Greenify Hibernate and Aggressive Doze, so maybe that's why - or perhaps you have a misbehaving app somewhere.
Try to clear data from all Google services, playstore etc reboot into recovery and clear cache.. if the problem still remains then the only solution is factory reset.. there's an app causing this your cpu/ phone is a wake all the time

Mine doesn't do this, there must be something misbehaving on your phone. There are steps you can take such as deleting cache/data from G.P.S. to try to solve this issue. Search the forums/web for other suggestions.
First thing to do it, just do a factory reset. Install only the MUST have apps one by one over couple of days. Watch it overnight. Since there has been some security updates, its possible that I broke some code on some non google apps installed on your phone. First try to isolate that app. I am pretty sure that google has tested the code on all google apps before it released it.
Hi
I've got a Moto E4 running android 7.1.1 (latest software update in France). No problems at all until just recently. Battery draining at about double normal rate for no apparent reason. When I go into battery usage details the categories (Screen, wifi, google play services) only add up to about 12% total yet the drain is 70% total. Don't know if that's relevant or not.
So I cleared the cache partition and problem seems to be fixed. Then 2 or 3 days later, high drain rate again. Cleared cache partition again and for 3-4 days no problem, now drain back again. No new apps downloaded recently. No unusual usage. Most apps have sync permissions turned off.
Has anyone any ideas or suggestions other than factory reset which I'd really rather avoid if at all possible?
Thanks very much for your time on this.
NB
Have the same problem. Any solution?

Yep - block javascript in chrome (site settings) - problem went away immediately. Then allow javascript on different pages gradually to work out which one(s) are causing the drain. For me it was the BBC news site - I think there was a problem with video autoplaying and getting stuck in some sort of loop. Hope it works for you too.
Hey all,
Recently got my S10+ replaced under insurance (dropped it about 10 stories), and have since rooted it (magisk).
I get a crazy amount of battery drain, up to 35% an hour when using spotify (and Viper4Android). I get high CPU alerts constantly from google play services, even overnight when charging and not touching at all. Device runs very very hot too.
Just want to ask whether anyone else has had this problem before taking it back and asking for a new phone. Seems like a faulty phone but don't want to rule out a bad flash
Cheerio
I suppose bthat you are rooted, since using viper... Use battery stats to se exactly what is the problem, is it kernel or app related... Either ways, good quick start would be cash clear from recovery and network reset... If still draining, force stop than delete data for gplay, services and google framework this will log you out

I'd feel pretty stupid if I rooted a phone and then considered taking it back because of battery drain. I don't know how anyone could say it seems like a faulty phone when they apparently immediately rooted it without testing the battery life. I'd suggest learning how to use a phone before rooting it and then claiming the sky is falling. Unbelievable.

I've had rooted Android phones for the better part of 10 years. I also had the same problem BEFORE rooting, and flashed a custom OS to ensure the battery drain wasn't due to bloatware. In addition, if you read my post properly you would have noted that this is only an issue with a replaced S10, and was never a problem with the original S10, which means I am completely aware of battery usage life.
Keep your useless and misinformed comments to yourself.

Yeah this problem is old as Android itself the way i dealt with it in the past is i used betterbatterystats app overnight let it record who and what is sucking the battery dry. In your case it seems google services framework is the problem (surprise surprise)
If i was in your shoes i would try what @Sparkynis suggested first, clear cache and data it will delete your google account restart the phone wipe cache in recovery and add your account again if the problem is still there then you might have an app that refuses to go to sleep
and it will show up in betterbatterystats. If that fails i would wipe everything start from scratch only adding your google account not installing any apps besides the betterbatterystats to see if it's the google services framework messed up or an app you have installed that is forcing a wakelock somehow.

Thanks mate, did the battery stat's and it's the location alarm triggering a couple of times a second. Have reformatted and flashed multiple times and yet to fix the problem. Leaving location services off, however, does solve the problem.
This workaround works fine until I get my s20 but unfortunately I was not able to find the root cause. Faulty gps chip maybe? No idea.

Try looking into Google Maps that app triggers location services ALOT even when not running, i have the Unlocked s10+ U1 and even i notice the same thing with Location off i lose 2% of battery overnight with it left on i lose about 9%
Do uninstall google maps and let me know if it's the same. Also i used to have an app called wakelock detector full i haven't used it since my gf bought me the s10+ last version i have is 2.0.4 last updated in 2017 lol but it helped me find apps and system services that are awake and using cpu alot maybe that will help you find the cause
