I've been getting a ridiculous amount of battery drain lately on my and my wife's VZW GS3s from "Google Services." Pics attached. These screenshots are with location services turned completely off, so that's not it. Any suggestions?

Download betterbatterystats. When it happens again give us better battery stats dump. It'll help us determine what exactly is causing the wakelock

Been lurking for quite a while now and have had the ATRIX 2 since the day after launch.
I pay pretty close attention to applications and their battery consumption. Today when checking I found that an app named device health application had been running. Does anyone know what this app is? Have google'd it. It didn't find any info.
Thanks!

Thats a good question
It showed that it used 77% of my battery yesterday. If anyone runs across the true name of the app I'd like to know so I can disable it through the package manager.

That's interesting. Its only used 3% of my battery today - so isn't a problem for me yet. However I have noticed of isn't responding to a force stop yet.

It's always been <10% batt usage for me until the other day when I noticed it was up around 15%. I selected it in the batt usage screen and it's battery usage appears to be GPS and not so much CPU. It had the GPS on for 25mins total that day. I find this a bit rediculous and decided to just freeze it with Ti Backup. It's now not contributing to CPU usage, and I don't notice the GPS symbol w/o firing an app that uses it. I also haven't noticed any ill effect yet, but I'd be interested in knowing what this thing does.
I suspect it's a moto app for collecting device stats to aid in trouble-shooting issues, but that's just a guess. I'm not a fan of apps out of my control just firing up GPS at their whim. and no, I'm not willing to go full manual and start GPS myself everytime an app needs to use it. My phone works for *me*, not the other way around.
that's interesting. I haven't seen it on my since the day I posted about it. Didn't notice it doing anything with the GPS. I keep mine turned off unless I need it. Will have to check that one out if I ever see it again.

I have been trying to figure out the battery drain caused by android system for the past week. I am on cleanrom lite v4 and if it wasn't for that I would b getting great battery. I was looking through everything and found that my Android system version was still VBRLJ1 while everything else was the K1 leak. I could this be causing my problem and how do I fix it? I'm running ktoonz kernel and have done the qsiffdaemon and qosmgr fixes. I I've also done reboots, wiped caches, mounted system and fixed permissions.

Download better battery stats and see what it says is draining the battery. You can find it here on xda with instructions. Post the partial wake locks results here or even better in the thread for BBS.

Were you using your phone at the time? It looks like you need to go into maps and change settings so its not reporting your location. Also, gmail l seems to be kind of high

Okay well to help figure it out. Charge you're battery fully, unplug it and don't touch it at all for at least an hour. The best is to leave it over night. Then post your BBS results. That way all that is shown is what is draining upper battery.

Well, BetterBatteryStats is probably your best bet to figure out what's draining your battery.
You also have an international GSIII (i9300) however this section is for the US GSIII (SCH-I535) which has different hardware so you should probably head over to the i9300 section for proper support beyond what anyone can say regarding BetterBatteryStats.

I'm getting good battery life but for some reason the phone is awake an awfully lot when the screen is off. Pretty much stock, I've only had it for 48 hours and haven't downloaded hardly anything to it. Running the JB update as well.
Ya mine dose to. I can't find a reason

Try disabling location reporting in Maps. Aldo, the stock email app uses a lot of idle time - not using the widget seems to help a little, as does setting to sync each hour.
Install BetterBatteryStats and check Partial Wakelocks. That will show you anything else that might be waking the phone too often or using too much idle CPU.

Disabling location reporting in Maps may have done the trick. I'll charge it up tonight and report back tomorrow on my results. For the little time after I changed that setting, it appeared to be asleep the entire time my screen was off.
Thanks for the suggestion!
What's the best way to diagnose something like this? It happens randomly and I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm stock rooted.

Your wakelocks or horrible. You need BBS as stated, but the instant drop is indicative of a bug in the stock rom or kernel. If it keeps doing that after the wakelock issues are resolved, you may need to flash another rom.

Does this pretty much mean Google search is messing me up?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I think Google search incorporates Google Now which yes, mega battery drain in my opinion especially if it is polling for location constantly.
edit: that looks like my battery stats when I don't try to conserve energy and have heavy usage.

So how do I fix this? Turn off location would somewhat render Google Now to be useless, as does turning it off.

If you're getting reboots, grab /proc/last_kmsg the next time it's on. The last few lines should give you some hints as to why it rebooted.

Kk thanks a lot guys, I think the battery issue overall might have been Google search so now I'm going to try to fix it. If my phone reboots again I'll check the file to see the logs.

Should it be disabled or left alone? I was wondering if battery life is better for anyone who has disabled it.
