the battery life is decreasing while the screen is off because of the google play services it is causing like 5+ hours of keep awake i dont know why i dont use location services and my sync is turned off .
if you have any advice please enlighten us .
I had the same exact issue, Google Play Services was killing my battery, and nothing seemed to help. I ended up installing version 11.0.33 beta from APK Mirror, and it seems to have worked, battery life is back to where it should be. I have sync turned on and location services on too, and no issues.
It's been about a week and a half since I installed that version. I hope that helps.
well it is weird sometimes doing a simple restart helps sometime you have to wipe the cache and data of google play services

Does anyone know exactly how to diagnose Google Services running down my battery? I've tried disabling individual bits and pieces that seem related, but whenever I check OS Monitor there doesn't seem to be any single culprit, yet my battery continues to plummet.... Also, the Gallery app goes nuts from time to time and hammers the CPU, even when it hasn't been run. Logs suggest some kind of face scanning going on, despite it being disabled in the apps settings. Only work around for that it seems is disabling Gallery, or manually killing the process whenever it respawns.
I've used the same Google account and the same data on an S2 and a Note 2 with no issues from Google Services, but since day one with the S4 it's a problem. Yes, I've tried a factory reset etc etc, I'm not a complete n00b
so as of this week i've noticed battery drain..
I removed all APPs i recently installed and still drain no deep sleep.
Better battery stats never helps, all it says us "Suspend Backoff" for kernal wake lock but never tells me what is causing the wifi to be hit so much
i finally went into google sync options and unchecked ALL options and reset CPUSPY..
with in a few min im getting sleep.
i re enable all my google sync options and reset CPUSPY
no more deep sleep after a few min
now i enabled all sync again, and UNchecking each of them one by one to see which one is the culprit but its not just one.
sometimes its SoundSearch, sometimes its KEEP, sometimes its People Details..
doesnt make sense and i'm leaving the phone alone, i'm not adding or changing any data on the phone or the computer in KEEP, PEOPLE, GMAIL or MUSIC
so why is this happening?
I know a lot of people disable all their sync in here to get better battery life but of the people that still sync their google services automatically, is anyone seeing this?
Maybe something is preventing sync from completing successfully which causes sync services to be constantly on.
Personally I haven't faced the issues you have mentioned. Try clearing data of play store, Google services framework and play services.
Sent from my Nexus 4
use titanium freeze Google+, GoogleMusic, GTalk
should solve
How are you all.....
I noticed issue in my phone after using for a while
I have note 4 SM-N910C ....
The problem is about google play services drain my battery after connection data mobile. .
When i using wifi ... nothing happened at all everything going good and battery have long life , but when i need going out and turned off wifi and start mobile data
Google play services start busy the ram and cpu and run in background ,tried to control everything like hard reset, factory reset, delete google services and restore, stop google play services and then let it back again. .... many many things not clear the issue.
Just start mobile data and google play services start eating battery .....
Hope to clear the issue for you
Thx for you
I am coming from a Droid Turbo - best phone I ever had -and never had any issues with it. Perfect right from the start.
I now have a DT2 and I get this immense battery drain at random times. The phone runs super hot and the drain is equivalent to 1% per minute. REAL BAD!
I even had the phone replaced and the problem persisted, so I know it's not a hardware issue.
The drain goes away in safe mode as well. So it must be software!
I've dwindled everything down with no positive results.
So I started looking at GSAM to get better stats on the battery.
It's showing Google Services eating up all of my battery with gmail trailing close behind.
So I look at my accounts and they seem to be constantly syncing. As soon as one stops, the other starts and they keep cycling like that.
All of my accounts are set to Push and I have very few items in my account checked off to sync.
Just the basics like people details, mail, calendar, contacts, google keep and g+. Everything else is turned off.
FYI, I also have an exchange account on there set to push and am on the latest Marshmallow update.
I've attached 3 screenshots to help visualize what's going on.
The most notable one is the standard batter app. The big dip is when the phone started getting hot and draining.
Does anyone know whats happening or how to fix it? I never had this problem with my original Droid Turbo, even with the same accounts.
wow, nothing so far?

Maybe it's syncing too often ? Try to limit permissions for Google apps , or turn off data sync for a while and check if that fix it
Finally someone with the same problem as me. I've noticed the exact same behavior in Gmail (constant rotating sync which makes the phone hot and kills battery). However, Gmail doesn't show up in my battery stats as a battery drain, which is strange - but I do see Google Services. Unfortunately I have no permanent solution, but clearing the cache AND data for the gmail app solved the problem for about a week. Now it's back again. I have 7 google accounts in my phone, but sync is turned on for only 4.
Looking at other forums, many say that google play services is the cause, but I haven't been able to find any solid answers other than "restart", "clear cache/data", or the dreaded "factory reset". I hate having to factory reset to solve problems. Hopefully someone else who has had the same issue, or maybe someone who knows what's going on can help us troubleshoot.

I've contacted Motorola and they just want to give me a new phone. I'm on my 3rd from Verizon.
And yes, it is Google Services causing the issue as that operates a load of apps. However, we need greater details. If we got root on the phone, GSAM might be able to get more detailed information on the drain or the real app causing it.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's a Marshmallow bug.
Here are 2 work arounds that do not include clearing cache or factory resetting.
If you notice it getting hot,
1: toggle airplane mode until it cools
2: Download an autosync toggle widget to turn on/off sync
I do #2.
I think that some of my Google apps may be causing wakelock, specifically Maps and Google App or Google Play Services itself.
Now how I was able to isolate this is I initially have Maps disabled, and then enabled it this one time because I needed to look up something, and then after just after a few hours, my phone suddenly drains like crazy while idle and I've noticed on the usage that Android OS and Android System is eating up a LOT of battery.
So I got that out of my system when I tried to disable again and wipe cache recovery. Now my phone is currently working fine, and then I've decided to update Google App (which I never have done since I got my phone) so I can get assistant. Same thing happened a few hours.
I'm on a non-rooted Huawei P9 lite on B361.
Anyone?
