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

Is anyone having trouble with deep sleep after update of Google Play Services 5.0.77 ?
I've installed the apk from android police and since then my deep sleep is gone. Fortunatelly i've identified the trouble and uninstalled the version, but i would like to know if anyone else had trouble with this update.
Note: I've tried to install it many times and it always vanishes my deep sleep.

My phone (Nexus 5, Cyanogenmod 11 M7) update Google Play Services automatically to 5.0.84 and I've had the same issue. Over the course of today, it's used a good deal of my battery and prevented my phone from sleeping. I've tried changing my location settings, disabling wi-fi (and wi-fi location) and nothing seems to allow my phone to sleep.
I remember having this problem before, but I was thinking that I simply restarted it to fix it. That's not doing anything this time.
This is working for me on CM11 M7. Install Disable Service then go to "system apps" > "Google Play Services" and check "SystemUpdateService".
I tried disabling location services and related settings one at a time to try to figure out what exactly was causing the problem, but none of that worked. Eventually I uninstalled the updates to Google Play Services and that let my phone go back into deep sleep. After that, I re-enabled my settings, one at a time, to see if one of them triggered the problem again. Fortunately, I've enabled everything that I had before and my phone seems to be deep sleeping like normal.
Once again note that I am using a Nexus 5 rather than a 4, but I would think that the solution could work on both.
I am on my 5th charge, and Google Play services is my number one battery sucker.
I have location services, BT, on 24/7. I only connect to BT when in my car though, so 5% of the day maybe.
If I let me phone sit idle for about 4 hours, Google Play services will be the only thing that consumed battery.
Any advice on troubleshooting it? So far i've tried disabling NFC, google hang outs, ambient screen. I am trying things one at a time to see what's causing it.
There are no wakelocks, because I click the graph and I show it's only awake when I am actually using it. GPS is rarely, if ever on. WIFI is never on, as I have green signal everywhere + unlimited data via tmobile. I also do not have any other always connected apps like facebook, or facebook IM, twitter, or whatsapp, etc.

I am getting the same thing right now. I didn't yesterday.
I know it shows Google Play Services if you have Google Photos backing up your photos and videos. It is defaulted to do it whenever you are on wifi I believe. I have mine set to only backup while charging. I still see the Google Play Services drain though even with it not backing up, so I think my drain is coming from some other place.
Yeah, I am going to turn off background data, and if that's the culprit. I will play with each of the back up options. I only have a few enabled. I do have google photo's set to sync when on cell network or wifi, because I have unlimited data I do not care when they go up.
I noticed an odd bug when I unchecked google+ and google+ uploads as OFF/not sync, my google photo option to sync was gone. I enabled it, and it showed up. I have since rebooted a few times, and disabled those (did this an hour or so ago), and it will still sync, so maybe that was it? Will report back.
Currently enabled sync options:
app data
calendar
chrome
contacts
gmail
google opinion rewards
google photos
google photos backup

I saw this after upgrading to the newest factory image. let things settle and it was back to normal on the next day. Also updated to play services 8.3.0.1
I actually tried to do a reinstall the other day, and it brought me up to 8.3.01 (2385995-440) ... which was what it previously had.
Are you saying you just wiped your phone and started from scratch again?

I didnt wipe anything. I flashed the system.img and vendor.img from the Nov. update and i then noticed that play services was eating up about 22% of battery on a normal cycle. Updated to 8.3.0.1 and after charging and watching on the second go around, it seems to be returning to normal. Down to 44% and play services has only eaten 4%.

4% seems solid for 66% bat used... i'll try that if this doesn't work. Does flashing just system.img and vendor.img muck with any data?
maybe try wiping the cache partition -
Nexus 6P Wipe Cache Partition
Power Down the Nexus 6P
Boot the Nexus 6P into Fastboot Mode
Boot the Nexus 6P into Recovery Mode
Press the Volume Down Button to Control the Highlighter
Highlight the ‘Wipe Cache Partition’ Option in Recovery Mode
Then Press the Power Button to Select This Option
Make Sure the ‘Yes’ Option is Highlighted
Then Press the Power Button to Select This Option and Confirm the Wipe
Wait Until the Nexus 6P Wipes the Entire Cache Partition
Make Sure the ‘Reboot System Now’ Option is Highlighted
Then Press the Power Button to Reboot the Nexus 6P

What does wiping cache do again?
I disable.any Google apps I don't use ,which most if them,I have Google now always listening and I don't use chrome which seems to hit the battery,and play services is hardly ever in my battery list,but today a new play service update and reading reviews it's sucking battery by all accounts ,not seen it yet myself
I have wiped cache and I will report back.
After reboots it still is eating up battery like nobody's business. Bone stock not rooted too.
Wifi and bluetooth on, location set to device only. Google Now on, "okay google" detection from anywhere.

i suffer no hardships doing this -
Battery Tips for Android
1. Toggle off High Accuracy GPS Mode, Bluetooth, NFC,
Hotspot/Tethering. Toggle on only as needed. (Set GPS Mode to "Battery
Saving" Mode).
2. Display Brightness - Turn off Auto Brightness and Reduce Setting
Bar to Minimum Acceptable to you.
3. Sign out of any unused Google Services like G+, Google Now, Hangouts, etc.
4. Disable Location Reporting and Location History.
5. Beware of constantly syncing in background Apps and Bloatware like
Facebook, Twitter, Weather Channel, Games, Google News/Weather,
Non-Push Email, etc. Set Sync interval for every 1 hour or more and
change settings to stop the syncing of data you don't need. Delete
their Apps and use their Web Page if acceptable.
6. Turn Off Hot Word "Hotword Detection" Always Listening Mode in
Google Search if you don't use it.
7. Turn Off Auto Camera/Photo Upload or at least set it for Upload on WIFI Only.
8. Turn Off Vibrate on Touch for Display, Keyboard, etc.
9. Turn Off Touch Sounds and Unlock Sounds.
10. Turn Off Ambient Display/Active Display Notifications if you don't need it.
11. Don't use a Live Wallpaper. Use a dark wallpaper if possible.
12. Set Display Sleep Setting to 2 Minutes or Less.
13. WIFI Settings - Advanced -
a. Network Notification - Set as OFF.
b. Keep WIFI on during Sleep - Set as ALWAYS if you regularly use
WIFI. OK to keep WIFI on if you regularly use it.
14. Scanning Always Available - Set as OFF - Wifi scans for networks
(location assist) in the background by default. Go to Settings >
Location > Overflow (three dots at top right) > Scanning and change
the setting for Wifi and Bluetooth.
15. Turn Off Always Vibrate in Gmail/Email.
16. Be careful of using too many Live Widgets and what/how often they sync.
17. Set MS Exchange Sync at 30 Days or Less if you use it.
18. Do NOT use a Task Killer App or Battery Saver App.
19. Uninstall ALL Apps that you never use. If you haven't used an
App in one month, uninstall it.
20. Reboot your phone at least once a month.
21. Wipe Cache Partition at least once a quarter or after every OS Update.
22. Consider a Factory Data Reset with a manual re-sync, manual
reinstall of all data and Apps after every major OS Letter Update.
Make sure that all of your data is first backed up to Google and
Dropbox, etc.
"I SUFFER NO HARDSHIPS DOING THIS" - this means that i personally am
giving up NOTHING with these tips. i'm not giving up any features.
there are no tradeoffs for me. a tradeoff or a hardship would be to
turn off PUSH email or use AIRPLANE mode during the day etc.
you have to find your own balance and the tips list is a start but you
must come to your own conclusion as to what's important. it's personal
preference but these are not a big deal to me at all as they do not
affect the function or operation of my phone. these tips do not
deteriorate my experience.
you don't HAVE TO do anything. the point is you if you want to
MAXIMIZE battery life you can turn things off that you aren't using.
it only makes sense. there is a FINITE amount of juice in ANY
battery. you choose how you want to spend that juice. by default most
of these devices have every feature set as ON whether you use them or
not. i prefer to change the settings in my phone to only use those
features that i personally use and need so i can maximize battery
life. i don't leave all the lights and TVs on in my house 24/7 - i
turn them on when i need them. i'm not giving anything up. my phone
does everything exactly like i want it to. i'm not missing out on
anything. it's no hardship for me. it's life. life is a delicate
balance. it's up to you to find that balance.

I am doing 70% of what you listed out, and google play services is currently at 3% of battery with 81% remaining, it's my highest user under screen with an hour. Don't get me wrong, great battery, but why is it using so much?
I wiped cache and it seemed to help a ton. Almost 3 hrs screen on time, 24 hours off charge, 35% battery remaining and Google Play Services is only at 3%. Much better.
its "Ok Google" "Always Listening"
I lost 12% in 7 hours overnight with it on and 1% with it off (On 4g)
Let me try wiping my cache then. Also, OK Google is not always listening, I never really use it anyway. I only use voice for texts sometimes.

Bluetooth is your problem. I turned mine off and immediately my phone starting to sleep again.
I leave my BT on all the time, it only connects in the car though (40 minutes per day). I do not see bat drain for that. I also left it disabled for a day, same google services % usage.

This has always been off, why would anyone even want it on. BTW, solid list, like I said, I do about 70% of it already.
After about 20 minutes, Pandora keeps closing. Battery management for the app is off. I've tried uninstalling, restarting the phone, but nothing has helped.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yep. Already tried turning off battery optimizing for pandora and giving it the proper permissions.... I suspect it is due to oos aggressive battery mgmt
This is a sign from the Universe to switch to Spotify. You have bright futures ahead.
Experiencing the same. Very annoying.
you guys figure this out?
I've had the same issue with Google Play Music. The only solution I have found so far is to lock the app in memory. After that, I've never had issues with it just closing randomly.
No issues at all with Pandora. I'm on 9.0.11. I have the app set to optimize, but I've got adaptive battery turned off because reasons.
I experience this all the time with the direct from Oneplus 6T. However, my wife's T-mobile 6T doesn't do this. What the heck?
I'm on 9.0.11, still does this with Pandora despite turning off battery optimisation and adaptive battery...has anyone else figured this out yet?
No issues here. May be Pandora's problem. Maybe they need to fix the app.
Pandora stops after 20 minutes ~
Was experiencing the same thing. I turned my background restriction off under battery usage, seems to be fixed on mine now. Nope shut down again
Apps stop working fix on armor phone. Mine is armor 6E
Press app main button near your home button. Then you can either swipe away running apps or press one of the two buttons which are clear all, or go into running apps settings (same screen, not main settings). This allows you to either have all apps stop after a certain time or individually have apps turn off automatically once screen times out after a certain amount of time. I hope this helps! Took me forever to find.

I agree with this post. I also noticed that when using pandora while using the waze navigation app that you can skip or pause but, are not able to replay a song. I have contacted both pandora and, waze about this issue and, they just blame each other. In the end no fix. I have pandora plus btw
I understand this may only help a few people, but what fixed it for me was going to settings > battery > adaptive battery > restricted apps... And then removing Pandora (from the list I forgot I added it to, upon the phone's prior suggestion)
The phone (Mi Mix 5g) is struggling to go into deep sleep and occasionally registers 0% in accubattery stats (for 'deep sleep'). I have followed all the guides and threads posted here and tinkered with all the obvious settings. The phone is not rooted and running stable android 9 MIUI 10. Sometimes I get 98% deep sleep which is what I am looking for, other times I get 40-60% (not acceptable) and other times 0%. I have installed Greenify to try and shutdown apps but something seems to be hampering it, everything is greenified accept battery stats and Nova. I do get a notification on greenify to say that the screen lock was to fast for greenify to operate but I cannot see any setting in MIUI10 to change the time between sleep and turning off the screen (although I do remember seeing this on previous android versions).
Any clues as to what is causing this and how I could go about diagnostics to see what service/app is causing the issue.? As i said before I have tried hard reset, soft reset before sleep and all the settings outlined in previous posts here on the forum. One possible issue is poor reception inside the house which causes it to jump bands regularly, could this be waking the phone up in deep sleep?
eagerly awaiting your suggestions.
Might be good play services. Have you tried stopping them and erasing the data?

Thanks for your reply, I had seen this and cleared the cache of the play services as mentioned in another thread. Did not seem to have any noticeable effect for me.
Small update for anyone experiencing similar woes. I changed the setting in clear recent apps from 'after 10 mins' to 'never' which seems to have had effect, since this I have been getting multiple +60% deep sleep figures. Reset the phone yesterday evening which produced 96% deep sleep result. This is acceptable and what we are seeking however resetting the phone nightly is not.
Update.
I have resolved this by going into data usage - system apps and clearing the cash of the top data users. Also clear cache on play services and play store. I am now achieving deep sleep in the region of 90-100% of screen off time.

Additional update.
The problem appears to be intermittent and requires regular maintenance using the steps above combined with soft reset.
