Battery Eater: Google Services?

I kept my (at 100% when I went to sleep) phone unplugged last night while I slept to see how it does when it's idle. (when I'm working I'm running WiFi tether which obviously sucks battery life so I've not seen how it sits.
6 hours later I woke up to A battery at 71%, which was kind of surprising. I've attached some screen shots.
I run CleanROM 6 with its stock kernel. Would a different kernel help?

Are you on Wi-Fi at home? I've read some people having this issue and they've turned off the Wi-Fi power management feature and it seems to resolve this. Settings--wi-fi--menu key-- advanced should get you to the right menu (I'm on an aosp rom so not sure if it's in the same exact place).
Also an app like Better Battery Stats might provide more specific information about whatever is draining you.

Where would this be in 4.2.2?

Same place I described. It's the box "Wi-Fi optimization."

Thanks Dearborn! I just changed the setting so hopefully it works! I didn't even know that existed!

I have the same prob since CR6v2 (50% Google Service batt use when relatively idle) and have always had my wifi set to stay on when sleeping (assuming that's the setting you're talking about). It seems clear via GSAM and normal batt stats that Google Services is causing wakelock. GSAM says, "included packages Google Contacts Sync" but I'm not sure if that's conclusive or if it's just providing an example.

Google Play Services - Feb Update Battery Drain

The recent update of Google Play Services (background update) has led to horrible battery life. Has anyone else experienced this?

yes.
go to your main phone settings, location, press google location reporting, disable location reporting and history. that shoukd take care of the extra battery drain, it did for me as soon as i disabled that setting.

Yea I been researching on this left n right, but if I do that, it messes with my weather location. Is there a way to go to a previous version of Google Play Services that didn't have this issue?

really? it doesnt mess with my weather location, nor google nows weather for me. i guess if you grab a previous apk of the play services, replace the newer version and reboot, maybe. but i think itll just update itself again.

That's odd. When I try to go to Maps after I turn off google location reporting, my lil location blue dot is gone. And when I try to press on the locate/center-in icon, it just says "Waiting for location"
**EDIT** rebooted phone and now it's working. I'll see if I still get the annoying drain.

Well, it's waiting for the GPS to get a fix.

Not sure if related, but "Android System" battery usage for me is higher than what it normally is. Before, it would sit around 10-12% on the battery list, now the norm seems to be 16-20%.
Are you guys seeing that too?

[SOLVED] What is eating my battery on Nexus 5?

Let me get straight to the point.
Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.0.2, with xTrasmooth ROM with no problems with battery whatsoever... but suddenly I get around 16% drained overnight when I would get much less before.
After a clean install, the only thing I did was install alpha xPosed with a few modules (Xgels, Gravity, Youtube adaway, Youtube background enabler).
Can anyone tell me how to show logs or look for wakelocks and things like that to show battery stats?
All I have is this:

Use Gsam battery monitor, it will tell you your wakelocks

You could have been in a dead zone or something and as a result, your phone kept trying to search for the signal. It also helps if you turn down your brightness

The op is talking about 16 percent drain overnight. I dont think turning down his brightness will help him. Like the other poster said, use either bbs, or wakelock detector to determine wakelocks. As jarshdude said bad cell signal could be the culprit. For this I use the smart radio function on cataclysm, to change to 3g when on wifi. As my lte service is spotty at best in my house. But im guessing its a rogue app causing wakelocks.

See posts 1 to 4 in the battery help thread in my signature. And if you still need help, post the recommended screen shots there. ?

I used to have this issue as well. Mostly the main culprits are Google apps and social networking apps doing syncs, disable Google syncs for services you don't need/use and if there are social networking apps that you would like it to sync, perhaps increase the sync refresh interval.

Is it not xposed as it's still in testing?

I should've read these threads before, sorry guys.
Anyways, I think xposed alpha for lollipop was the culprit, but it got resolved after a few restarts wiping cache and dalvik, or so I think, because that's all I did. Now I only drain 3 to 4 % overnight, which is pretty good for me, since that's what I was draining on stock before.

Terrible idle battery drain!

I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings

your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

My phone is 18 months old. Yeah I guess my battery has run out of its course
Thank you for the reply

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot

Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.

I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.

99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on

General Standby / idle battery drain

Standby / idle battery has been terrible. I've googled and barely found anything on this issue. The first time I activated the phone it was google play services near the top. Did a factory reset and I've been using since.
Battery drain is worse when no data / wifi is connected. If I connect to wifi , battery drain is less. A step below having airplane mode. I hate charging the phone to 85-100% just for it to drop considerably over 12-24 hours. I've gotten between 2-4 hours of Screen on time but I feel like it should average 5 hours atleast if I use the phone moderately.
Would betterbatterystats help in this situation?

Goggle Backup Transport or other cloud apps running in background.
Best to an adb edit or package disabler to kill it.
In lieu of doing the above or in conjunction, temporarily disable Google play Services when not needed like at night.

I had a similar problem, lowering the brightness level in the settings helped a little. I also recommend using Wi-Fi in places where it is available instead of 4g, which is much more energy-consuming and disable all background applications that are not needed at the moment. If it doesn't help, only useful solution to change the battery, if it's possible.

Here's an update . Fully charged battery and just let it idle. Google play services running for 11 hours

Mine does it as well. After night (6-8hrs) drop about 4%, disabled network and 5G, no changes with airplane mode, another flip also has this problem, battery drain does not occur when device is off

You do realise that battery "drain" over those 11 hours was 0.2%
That's tiny in the grand scheme of things .. or am i missing something?

As long as other play services dependencies like Backup Transport didn't suck down a huge amount during that time...

how did gou enlarged the status bar? it look greater than mine status bar/

Check out the app called "don't kill my app"
Also check out there website. It will help... probably

First of all you shouldn't be charging to 100% ever. There is an option to stop at 85%. Enable it then use package disabler or adb to stop tons of background garbage.
