Hi all,
In the last few days I've noticed Google Play Services is often using GPS (identified by the Android System notification) for a long time - hours at a time.
I've tried closing all open apps, rebooting, clearing cache but that doesn't help and even if it stops for a short while it starts it again.
I'm Still running OOS 4.5.15.
Any idea? The battery drain is very noticeable.

Hello in the android battery stats, google services always appears as the biggest battery drainer,
however, kept awake time and cpu usage time seems reasonable (cannot possibly account for 60% battery use)
In Gsam battery or better battery stats, there is not sign that a considerable amount of battery is being used by google service.
Altogether, i am still able to reach almost 5 hours of sreen on time over 24 hours (quite reasonable) i would just like to understand if this is bad reading from the android stats app, or if there is actual drain here.
I am currentrly on stock 4.2.2 with franco's latest kernel.
i flashed a clean image of 4.2.2.
google+ and gtalk signed out, report location from device is disabled. auto backup disabled
any advice? anybody with similar issue.

I'm having the similar thing. No idea how to get rid of it. When trying to disable some of the apps (namely Google Services Framework), Play Store keeps fc'ing.

It is likely an actual drain. I would try uninstalling the updates or updating to the latest version.
Recently been getting battery drain while on Idle. This drain I tend to notice at night. My phone can idle duriing the day but does not drain battery.
I recently disabled Android system IQ agent .. and it seems to have helped at night after rebooting and stopping that service.
I also noticed when you go to task manager and go to settings there is an option to stop services. I checked Facebook (51 services wth). Google Play Books , Magazines, and Movies\TV. I also checked Google play services (65 services).
Believe it or not my phone seems to be running fine and my battery life is a lot better.
Now I set my brightness at 47% (not auto), Google Now is enabled with Wifi and mobile location. Google backup is enabled (most are unchecked including app data) Email is manual sync.
Just thought I"d pass this along. YMMV.
Thanks for your tips. I noticed random battery drain these few days, no idea what it is, high battery drain when idle, and it happens randomly. Will try and report back. Thanks

What's the exact name of the apk / the service? Afaik I do not have any matching process so far...
I am not sure about Stock 4.3 rom but this method definetly solved the issue in CM 11
After updating Google Play Services to 7.0 or even on 6.5 there was severe battery drain due to play services running in background.
When i observed battery Stats for one day, around 70% of battery was draining due to Play Services on Standby mode.
So here is a easy guide to solve the issue for CM 11 :
1. Go to Settings>Privacy>Privacy Guard.
2.Touch on Menu>Advanced.
3.All App ops will be displayed, go to Google Play services.
4.Change the option to Denied for following:
Location>Denied
Wake up>Denied
Keep awake>Denied
5.We can again change the setting to Allow when needed.
Look at the ScreenShot in attachments after I applied these settings.
Now there is only 2% of the battery drain by Play Services.

Joking bro.
Anyway what you claim does make sense (especially in my eyes) because google related services have a habit of draining battery, commonly by wakelocks, so disabling their wakes would help. I am also on CM11 and am getting battery drain from google services (not google play services) but the same applies as it has kept my device awake for 2hrs + till now.
Hi
I don't know since when, my phone battery starts to drain so quickly. Initially I though is the apps that I installed causing this, but looking into the battery statistics, it is actually google play services, it keeps awake for so long!!
I then did a search on google and found out that it is not a recent problem, and possibly the best (or true) solution is to disable keep awake. Hence I went to "Privacy Guard", found out google play services, and turn off "Keep awake". However it doesn't help!!!
I also installed WakeLock Detector to see which app is waking up the device, and what it is reporting is different to the battery statistic, it reports a communication app that I use, "WeChat", it keeps wake up my phone, but since it is a chatting up, I don't want to disable its function.
Other solution I found is to disable google location history, which I have also done it. I have also installed Amplify from Xposed to try to extend my battery life. GPS is completely turned off.
BUT, all these steps didn't help and the battery statistics still reporting that google play services use a lot of battery and most of the time it keeps awake.
Can someone help me please?
Many thanks!
I am using Carbon ROM with Hell's core kernel, stock settings.
Hi all,
My friend's P8 Lite has had a wakelock issue from google play services since around late Jan/early Feb (presumably there was an update) and recently her phone was updated automatically to March2017 security update.
The wakelock can cause the phone to stay in low CPU frequency for 70/80% of uptime (when it should be in deep sleep).
However, despite clearing the data for the play services so that it is re-installed, I am still finding it will causing major wakelocks to the extent where battery life drops to around 12 hours for standby; no or little usage.
There is one last action to try which is a factory reset but I am reluctant to go nuclear until I know this problem won't re-occur after the reset.
Do we have any leads as to what the cause and fix is?
Thanks
