So I never tried Chat On before and figured I'd download it just to try. What a mistake!!! After it being on my phone a day I had noticed it was responsible for like 47% of my battery life that day and it was closed!!! I didn't even use it once! So of course I deleted it once I saw this. So I wake up this morning, take my phone off the charger, had 100% battery, and then 3 hrs later my battery is almost dead!!!! I go to settings,battery and what do ya know com.sec.chaton has taken 87% of my battery!!!! ChatOn isn't even installed on my phone anymore!!! I am not rooted. How can I resolve this?? Anyone? You'll notice in the pic my option to force stop or report are grayed out ad well. I've tried rebooting and it didn't help.

As much as I hate saying this but you might have to factory reset the phone since it didn't do this before.

You can try going into the apps again and see if you can disable the com file sense you know what it is named. I had the same kind of problem with Google + on my last phone.

Noooo!!! Lol. Dammit man I was thinking that exact thing but hoping someone didn't agree lol. What a bummer. I do absolutely love this phone, but it's definitely in need of a software update, it's got some small bugs. Which is a little expected I suppose with new hardware/software but still frustrating a bit.

I tried looking for it apps manager and couldn't even find it. I even have an app installed that gives u the hidden features in 4.3 back to see and adjust some of the permissions on your apps but I can't find it in there either. If it's on the phone I can't find where it's hiding lol.

I think I'm just gonna go through with it and factory reset it. It's probably good for it anyway at least once. And most everything is backed up either on the cloud, through an account, or on sd card, just a pain putting apps back and signing back into everything is all. Nah this stinks! Dammit! Lol. I'll report back after the reset and let ya know how it goes.

Battery is back to normal after factory reset. Staying away from ChatOn anymore though.

Glad this worked out for you but why on earth would you use ChatOn Anyway - it is a pretty useless application?

New Google Play Service rolling out

Source:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...security-tools-android-wear-support-and-more/
I installed the apk and it seems to have (at least partially) fixed the battery drain with location.

I confirm that the battery drain related to "google play service" is fixed with "Google Play Services 5"

How did you do?
I also had installed the new apk, but then it's only fixed a little bit. I still have battery drain
Thanks

It does not fix the issue for the majority of the people, certainly not for me.
I am really pissed of with all of these.

Installed it, fixed the issue for me as it seems. Also updated Google Search with the latest APK.

Still got the other bugs but so far my Xperia Z has no Drain with everything switched back on, but I'm giving it longer to be sure.

It doesn't work for me.
But if I turn off all the position (GPS) in Setting, then it seem helped with battery drain.
I don't know why?!?!

Fix has solved all problems
The fix has seriously solved all problems regarding battery drain, and the usage of Xperia Z2 apps (Eg: Live on Youtube).
This makes the Xperia Z compatible for usage of the Kit Kat Operating system:angel:

It certainly worked for me, up to now anyway.
Full location services on, Google Now on with transport, weather and travel times on.

Seems to have fixed it for me too. Just turned on high accuracy location so we shall see any difference.

I tried the version .58, still have the battery drain problem in google play service. Not working for me.

After using these for a day, it seems the battery usage has been improved a lot but still not comparable to previous 4.3 ROM. Will see how it goes in the following week.

I'm getting Google play services battery drain. The funny part is, I wasn't suffering much in previous Google play services version. Now on 5 I'm getting the drain plus heating cellphone while sitting on my desk. What gives.

I flashed Cyanogenmod 11 (latest nightly) last night and installed the Google Services 5.0 apk and got the same problem as you, it really drained the battery fast, so I uninstalled the update and its back to normal now (version 4.4.52) - Try installing that version it might help you

Now I am beginning to think that either my phone is eating power like no one elses ... can you share your phone specs .. mine is the Z3580 with 64 GB and I have used both sim slots ...

Z3580 4,32 GB , only 1 sim active

hehe... looks like you're feeding steroids to your phone..

Just requested to join alpha.

Join, awaiting activation and then you can download it.

I just rooted my phone and installed Greenify and it improved my standby time by a boatload.
I was barely able to squeeze through a day of standby before. After Greenify, I'm sitting at 44% after 24hours.
Awesome!

with greenify , this problem can be solved

check if doze is working on your s7.

so if anyone uses gsam, check to see if doze shows up at all when you goto graphs and goto the end. mine doesn't doze at all it seems. and when I look at screen usage, it seems the percentage is higher when the screen is off lmao. wtf.
btw battery history hours are wrong in this pic. gsam does that sometimes. I'm really only like 5 hours off charger.

It looks like mine has been dozing. Not as long as I thought it would, but it DOES work. Do you have always-on turned on?

wow.
no, i don't use that. so wtf is causing my stupid s7 to stay awake like that then?

It could be a certain app keeping it awake.

but in gsam, absolutely nothing is keeping it awake. my biggest wake times are android system or android OS.

I thought doze's biggest selling point was that an app couldn't keep it from activating unless specifically told to do so...?

Apparently if the phone is moved even a little bit or the motion sensors are tripped, Doze does not work. It still needs some work.

ahh maybe I'm moving and touching it then. ok so doze is absolutely useless to me. I checked at the end of the day, and not one time throughout the day was it active.

check it out, my phone dozed for the first time in it's life.....and that's only bc it was completely still and not even being moved for a long time in my desk at work. well, atleast i now know doze is working....hilarious though 5% of my battery was used when display was on, and 20% was used when off lmao...wtf!

You can turn Doze off if you think it is causing issues... Go into battery under settings, then hit "more" at the top then "optimize battery usage"
That will allow you to disable it completely or just for individual apps.

Whoops looks like I somehow flipped the switch off. Thanks for mentioning that.

Are there any reasons to hold off on taking the latest update?

Just in terms of eventual root, or something. It's not going to make much of a difference, or anything?
I'm on 6.O.1 - G930PVPU1APB5
Update G930PVPU2APD3
Its just that I notice it includes "security improvements," and that after updating, "returning to the previous version will be impossible. "

If your battery life is good right now, I wouldn't take the update. Sprint ****ed up the battery life on the GS7E with the pd3 update. I wish I had never updated my phone. I went from 7 to 8 hrs SOT down to 4 to 5 hrs after the update. It is caused by a GPS bug.

I noticed with the newest update notification tones are significantly louder while using headphones and are unaffected by the sound level settings.

I wish. I accidentally took mine a few days ago. Was walking through LA at night, pulled my phone out to check directions, and it was 10% deep into it. I was so pissed, and it was like an hour before I could use my phone again.

Thanks. This works, well worth the buck.

Can this be a bad thing? What if you turn the screen on to check time or something, and then the notifications disappears without you even glancing at it?
