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've had this issue in the past. Your going to have to do a factory reset my friend. That should resolve it.
try tunrning off google network location service, sometimes it helps

Location services have been on for long and new firmware was flashed, with factory reset not 2 weeks ago... anyway , it's all right, i was just curious if I'm the only one with this...

Your definitely not the only one. The only way I could fix mine was factory reset.

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.
Download betterybatterystats and find the culprits on your battery drain

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.

So you re implying that google services gets for some random reason bugged?
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...

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.

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

So there must be another explanation for what caused this.

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.

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.
Hey guys,
I've been using my AT&T One X for about 3 weeks now, and the battery life is pretty bad, I'd say around 12 hours tops, not what I would expect from a phone that topped battery life charts in the reviews. I have noticed that Google Maps takes up 33% of my battery life when I don't use it, and even more when I do. Has anyone else noticed this? Shouldn't it be close to 0 when I don't use it? Its as if it stays fully opened constantly in the background.

Do you use the location services? That may be what is eating your battery if you do. You could try to uninstall it, reboot, then reinstall from the market and see if that helps any.

I have to force close maps often. Something turns it on randomly and I can't figure out what it is. It's not the gps because I've tested it after force closing it and it didn't turn maps back on. If I don't force close it after a reboot it will use up a lot of battery.

in Location > Location & Google search - Turn this off or don't select this, hope this will help. (apps will ask for permission if gps is needed)
this helped a bit for me.,
Make sure Google Latitude isn't running. That can be a big battery killer.
Ya, I noticed Google Maps keeps opening up in the background ALL THE TIME. I will force kill it, refresh running tasks, and it's there again. Chews up about 24MB. Thanks for the tip about location services, I'll try turning that off and see what happens.
It seems to be primarly when it has updates. If you install the updates the battery drain will go away.

Pretty sure this isn't true. I had good problem without any pending updates.
I installed the autostarts app ($1.50) and disabled Google Maps from auto starting, that seemed to help a lot.

I get quite mixed performance - sometimes I get the maps app taking a lot of battery, sometimes not. See battery life images from my One X below, taken 10 days apart. On one I got 2 1/3 days life without maps running; on the other I got 12 hours with maps taking 38%. I haven't installed any new apps in that time, although I have applied market updates.
I've been trying to track this down using Carat and BetterBatteryStats, but no luck yet. @benraf, if you figure this out, please let us know.
Cheers.

Do you have GPS turned on? When I went to Orlando, I had GPS on and Maps navigating for about 4-5 hours, and the most it used was 8% of my total battery. The screen should always be the biggest consumer of battery.

I use it regularly since the start, I have no noticeable battery drain.
I use it and don't mind it, I get around 2 days of battery with moderate use and some calls. Wi-fi is always on, localization services are always on, mobile data (3G) is always off. It lasts me more than one day even if I keep using the phone so I'm fine with it.
I would say it 'eats' 10 to 50% more battery per charge depending on usage. If you have it mostly in standby you are more likely to notice the battery hit. If you keep using the phone for one thing or another, it won't make much difference.
With 4.2.1 it seems to hold pretty well while being very snappy. The official 4.1.2 follows the same trend (lasting around 2 days with the same use), but I really liked how fast it got with Air Kernel. I usually have around 200 MB free.
I'm currently using Rasbeanjelly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028718) with Air Kernel #270 (CM,Voodoo Colors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469842) and noop+SmartAssV2 setup. So far battery seems to hold up fine through the day. The only real downside I got from this was the occasional sleep of death (while using the phone, very weird, I would report it to the maintainer but I can't as I'm new around here), a FC when accessing Chrome settings (seems to be related with google sync feature) and the less stellar performance when changing orientation (same kernel and official 4.1.2 ROM doesn't have the issue).
Although it is handy sometimes, I think the worst aspect is the 'nagging' that Google Now has. Last time I got a "WTF" expression was with it saying that I walked 40Km that month more 20 than the last month, a nice feature, but completely unexpected, I would like to have a proper access to that kind of cards and the information that they provide... If you search weather it won't give you the same weather card shown automatically by it (at least for me).... one of these says it will be ready to take over the world...
G next should do you pretty well

I use Google Now because I'm fascinated by the creepiness of it. I like that when I'm at work, it tells me how long it will take me to get home if I leave now. I was confused when one Saturday at 11:45 am it was giving me the locations of nearby restaurants, then my wife said it's probably because it's almost lunch time. Google Now knows what I want before I do!
I haven't tried turning it off to save battery life yet, but I unplug from the charger at 6:30 am and plug in at midnight no problem.

Ok. So I had previously disabled Google Now because it drained so much battery. But I was wanting to use it since the updates keep getting better so here's what I did to where it isn't destroying battery anymore.
I have Latitude and location updating turned off in Maps, but found out enabling Google Now turned location updating back on. So once you have Now enabled, go into Maps and uncheck where it says "Update my location from this device". It still works fine because I have location reporting (or something like that) turned on in Google sync in Settings. It still uses wifi and/or the towers to update your cards, but Maps isn't taking chunks out of the battery anymore.

it's been reported in the google product forums. Some are reporting battery drain, some having problems connecting to their exchange servers( authentication fails). Other (me included on this) Exchange connects, but push mail is erratic. Also, items read on the phone do not get marked read on the server.
In the mean time, I am using touchdown from the play store (30 day trial) hoping that google will get it sorted. Using touchdown, the battery drain is gone, and push mail works flawlessly...
Frankly, it's the only thing that is bugging me on this phone. I shouldn't have to go to a third party for a solution....

Actually, I switched to Touchdown on my Nexus 4 running Jelly Bean 4.3 because Exchange Services absolutely killed my battery. Tried everything I could find to fix it, and never could. And from the searches I did at the time I wasn't alone.
So far, Exchange Services is behaving on my Nexus 5, but I'm concerned to see that the problem could come back.
Funny i disabled the contacts portion of the exchange sync on 3 of my 4 exchange accounts and i DO NOT see this big battery hit anymore. must have been a glitch, i will be watching it closely now..
I use touchdown. No issues with battery.
Plus it keeps your email encrypted which is kind of important for most companies.

Your exchange account is set to push, right?
Go to settings > corporate
Its flicking between syncing and last updated, right? I think its syncing every other second, which is whats draining the battery. I just turned off the sync for that until they release a fix
Ditto for battery drain issues. I hadn't noticed it as much until today where after 3 hours my battery had dropped 40% and I wasn't even using it. Checked and it was due to exchange services.
I wont go with a third party solution so hopefully this gets fixed soon.
I haven't had any issues with enhanced email either
I'm pretty sure I found the culprit of the excessive battery drain for at least my Verizon GS3. I'm fully stock, unrooted, and did a factory reset after the 4.4.2 update. My battery has been terrible since the first KitKat update with Google Services or Google Play services being the top user in battery stats, usually around 40-50%. KitKat brought the "OK Google" voice command feature to our phones. So now, they are constantly listening for that prompt. If you go to Google Now>Settings>Voice>"OK Google" hotword detection>turn off, you should see a marked improvement in your battery. Since yesterday, my battery has been pretty much back to normal, and Google services went from 40% battery usage to 15% as of right now. Hope this helps!
Call me a dummy, but I can't seem to find Google now. My battery is draining pretty fast and I figured Google play services was the culprit..

Thank you for suggestion. let's see now if my old galaxy s3 battery life is better:laugh:
Related to battery drain from Google Play Services / Google Services -- Another thing I've found to drain the battery is location history. If you go into the Google location services, I leave Location Reporting on but then I turn Location History off. This seems to help a lot.
