If you guys don't mind wiping your data. A dalvik/cache wipe and/or factory reset might be in order.

According to some1 in the other tread about the malicious apps....Even if you had, it doesn't matter since the vulnerability explored by the hack is already patched on 2.2+ firmwares, so rendering the code useless.
I have no clue what's going on with ya, but if I were you I would wipe everything and reflash a new.

Yep, thanks. I wiped and reflashed, and it's now gone. Still have no idea what the hell was happening.

gpsd but has nothing to do with the malware, I have 2.3.3 on it
and there is the security issue could not be found, the more I
none of these apps on my SNS on it.
So there must be another explanation for what caused this.
To begin with: what's gpsd? I mean, what is it and what use it?

It's to do with location based services and is GPS related...
disable or uninstall any app that uses the GPS
like those spy track my phone, and those so called where's my phone apps
I've been having this issue since flashing RC2 of CM7. Can't track down what's causing this.

gpsd is the "GPS Daemon". In the world of UNIX/Linux, gpsd is a very fundamental application service used to synchronize access to GPS hardware. In simple terms, it lets apps get data from the GPS hardware without having to know specifics about that hardware.
A simple google search would also answer your question: gpsd.

Good info that defintely makes a bit more sense of it. The question is what is causing it to suck down so much battery now?
Is there a way to narrow this down a bit? This is killing my phone

I found someone said that this is bcz of the google map and lattitude to sync location. Try to disable it may help. Sorry if I miss understand sth

I found that info on latitude also. It's never been enabled on my devices, but I went ahead, enabled, changed settings, and disabled again to see. Going to give it a bit to get a better sense of the impact it might have had.
I am having the same issue
Voice Calls 17%
Display 17%
GPSD 17%
Maps 14%
Cell Standby 10%
Wi-Fi- 8%
TIKL 7%
Phone Idle 4%
Facebook 4%
Android Os 3%
Android System 3%
My thoughts are that is location based services such as latitude and google weather widget. Having said that I disabled Latitude on this charge and have the weather widget set to 6hr refresh. I should mention this is on a Galaxy S running CM7 03122011
sigh...
same problem, on my nexus s... i moved gpsd to upper folder and reboot my device then the process was gone the battery life returned to normal, but i lost the gps function... if i want to use the gps i have to move it back and reboot again...
I found that on my device, seekdroid was the culprit.
As far as I can tell, Seekdroid is not set to check GPS periodically. If Seekdroid can't find signal, it does not sleep for a certain amount of time and try again. It hammers the battery via gpsd until the phone is dead.
*Correction Edit:*
"As far as I can tell, Seekdroid is not set to check GPS periodically. If Seekdroid can't find signal, it does not sleep for a certain amount of time and try again. It hammers the battery via gpsd until the phone is dead."
Should read:
"As far as I can tell,if Seekdroid can't find signal, it does not sleep for a certain amount of time and try again. It hammers the battery via gpsd until the phone is dead."
I have none of those and it shows up for me

If you had read the thread all of the way through, you would have been informed that the post you referenced does not apply to our phones.
Basically, for me, something (seekdroid) was calling for a gps location and not getting it since I was inside. If this rings true for you, try going outside and see if that makes your phone's CPU usage go down.
I'm sure I will still have reboots/issues like others because LG obviously knows of a bug in the phone BUT...in the meantime it appears I've reduced the reboots by uninstalling one bloody app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.widget.battery
I didn't use the widget but just the notification icon that shows battery %. I know this definitely has to have something to do with my earlier issues because prior to this I was getting freezes (screen is off and won't turn on without battery pull) and reboots quite frequently.
Since I uninstalled this junk, I've used the phone heavily and so far *KNOCK ON WOOD* it appears to be more stable.
Right now I'm sitting at 18h of uptime. Like I said, if I can get 4-5 days of uptime before a reboot I can live with it until a fix. But I can't have the thing reboot/freeze on me multiple times a day - that's not acceptable.
I'm using guage battery widget as I did on my Incredible without issue.

No no...I did. I UNinstalled the Battery Status - Donate. That was causing problems on my phone. Not sure where the confusion is. I linked it so people can see the exact app.
So no crashes today? Did you receive your replacement yet?
Just rebooted while sitting idle on desk with wifi on and wifi calling enabled. So after 25 hours which is not bad. Better than before. The hunt goes on.

That app does not come stock on the phone so I think we are wondering why you are telling us to uninstall something that none of us previously started with... uninstalling an app that is not even on my phone will not fix any reboot problems i might have lol
not that i have had any reboot problems anyway...
2daye heavy use no freezes or reboots...
My only issue is LCD bleeding

back light bleeding
ur back light bleeding is not an issue its something for u to ***** about. if u don't like it take it back or turn down the brightness. its not that bad unless u text in the dark with ur nose to screen which in that case you are a douche bag. sorry to be so harsh but u could have looked at a demo model before buying and *****ing it gets old. do ur research it is still a better screen than the samold line other than the deep blacks that they are very much ahead of the game in regards to that on the samold.

[sarcasm]Whoah...slow down, man...the amount of information you're throwing at us is a bit overwhelming...give us time to catch up on all of this!!!![/sarcasm]
do a fresh wipe and freeze bloatware, you will see a difference, i get 17hrs plus on my phone.
id say my battery is tough!
can last me all day and maybe enough for the next.
moderate use - lots of texting, phone calls, internet use, and some apps.
*sigh*
What rom?
What kernel?
How long of a life do you get?
Post your battery usage statistics. Settings-About Phone-Battery Use will tell you what's been using it since last charge, the app Spare Parts will tell you overall usage.
We can't help you if you don't give us any useful information.

why even bother dude? best way to learn is to solve your own problems, trial and error...
Thanks for all the feedback sarcasim and all. I've never had a battery issue before I installed the recent apk of the new android market. That is my only guess.
Is there a way to revert back and wait for the official update from the market? (I'm still new to android so I'm feeling my way around)
I am running stock rooted. Nothing special on this end.

I pulled the SIM outta my G2x last week after my N1 came back from the dead.
With the G2x just sitting there without a SIM, being used occasionally for Riptide or Pinball HD and some web browsing/email while watching the tube I get a solid 3 days of battery life. I forget the stupid thing is even on until the alarm goes off every morning at 6:45.
Just don't use the phone part of your $500 phone and it will work great!
solution
it was the downloaded apk for the market. i did a complete reset so this should fix my issue.
Hello
I've been having thoughts about my battery stats on my i9505. I can pretty much go through the day but sometimes a full charge is just not enough. I usually get 1:30 to 2 hours of screen time, and have about 20-30% battery left.
Here's what I'm wondering: why does google services use this much battery?
I'm running stock rom with Chainfire's cf auto root.
Here's some statistics.

I had the same problem with GE ROM, and after I put Location Services Off and then On again, the problem went away. I have Google now active.
Location service is the culprit. I had same issue on my S4. But I turned it off permanently and now I have nice battery life.
You can keep GPS on but turn off "Use wireless networks" option. Also make sure you have latest Play Store and Google Play Services installed on your phone.
try disabling the samsung push notification thingy... i suddenly started getting horrible battery life, and disabled this little guy yesterday... After 10 hrs of normal usage so far today, i still have 75% juice left

You have google now on and google services doesn't drain most of your battery? That's odd because i disabled and re enabled google now(and location services with it) some times and same battery drain every time ... did you have data and sync constantly on?

So you either using the phone extensively through the day which results to other things using up more battery ... or am i having a problematic phone? Or there is a magic setting that has to be made?
My average screen time is about 2-2,5 hours and that gets me easily 2-2 and half days of battery ... with same usage and google now on that's halved ... i m getting literally half the battery life with google now doing its thing ... without altering anything else on the phone ... just on and off google now ... which i ve been testing for a couple days ...
Yeah I don't see a daily benefit in phone knowing network location until I want a certain app to access my location. Try greenifying Network Location and any other wake lock apps that are NOT widgets or apps that u require notifications from (I greenified Google maps, play store and Google services). You will need greenify donate though (well worth it).
I got my standby battery almost flat instead of steady decline and can get an extra 10-20 hours of standby time.

That's not really a fix though. That's a workaround. I've gotten it completely fixed by doing a factory reset but I haven't gotten it fixed any other way.

Just got my galaxy s4 a few days ago. Had the same problem so I decided to restore the firmware using kies. Now the google services takes very little battery.

Sorta, in a nutshell. I do believe it's a bad installation of the ROM that's causing the issue. If you're on a custom ROM that requires a gapps package the I would think reflashing the gapps package would do the trick to fix it but I can't promise that.
Don't have 10 posts, but I uploaded a screenshot to imgur, just add /GW1UrDo.
Obviously the issue is google services. What's strange is that it doesn't do this all the time, just once every few weeks...

I'm 100% certain it's some app or process that's running your battery down.
Facebook and Facebook messenger are awful on battery. I normally use xda(legacy) app but tried this newer one and found it eats my battery (sorry guys).
Look at your battery usage (settings/battery) and make a note of who is using what.
Greenify works wonders.
L Speed also works great as an all around tool (read up on it)
Most of us are starting to measure our battery life in X hours SOT or screen on time. You can have 1k hours of battery life but if aren't using your device that doesn't really count.
My daughter has issues with all those silly messaging apps the kids are using now. They chew on your battery all day.
Check your battery usage. That should point in the right direction.
See how much just this xda app has used in over 2 hours. I opened the app to respond earlier to this thread and that's it.

The new XDA App is also a market. I see your Google Services is high at 13% also. I am guessing you have a few updates pending. I wish Google would fix that drain rather than force us to update apps to get rid of it. So my guess is the new XDA app is checking for updates as soon as you open it and causing all that usage.

Possibly. The newer app consistently logs me out. And although it's very pretty, it seems to be all over the place. I think the "help us better..." part of the app is also a culprit.
I will say the newer xda does a better job of notifying me on mentions and quotes.
