I know this topic has been beaten to death already but there are so many conflicting posts online without a clear solution. Google maps is creating a lot of wakelocks throughout the day even when the phone is idle. I have all the possible settings off, the only thing I have on is Google location services under settings>location settings. As soon as I turn this setting off, the wakelocks go away and the standby battery is much better. Is there a real fix for this or have ppl just accepted this? I can't believe poor programming like this is coming from Google of all tech companies. Btw, I'm running stock 4.1.1.

With Location Services activated, it's doing exactly what your allowing. You're giving permission for apps to connect to Google's location services. A lot of apps that don't seem location based are actually doing background processes that are -- thus the wakelocks. And GPS/Location services are battery expensive.
My solution: I use Cyanogenmod that has widgets in the notification panel. When I press and hold the GPS Icon it brings me to the Location Services page. I will toggle the services when I actually need it, and allow for no wakelocks. Press the back button and you're back in action.
What worked for me is just turning off Google Now. Yeah you lose some functionality, but it doubles your battery life. Google really screwed up with this one. I really don't know who to blame, Google, Samsung, or Verizon. I dont get these wakelocks on my Nexus with the same app, so it might be something to do with what Samsung did with TW. No wakelocks on 4.2 either.

I've always had Google now off but the battery life still suffers considerably even with it off and just Google location services on.

Sure, Google now being off definitely helps but location services still chews up battery.

did you installed 4.2 or note camera, I used to have same problem but after uninstalling it becomes fine. Note camera have a google framework apk inside and I think the incompatibility causing the problem.

Hello,
I am on ParanoidAndroid 4.4 and the battery drain is killing me. I have to charge my phone at least twice a day if I'm outside just because I'm scared of having my phone die on me. I was on stock 4.4.3 up until recently but the sudden wakelocks at random times would kill me so I switched to PA to at least have a few extras like Hover and its even worse now. I'm using ElementalX kernel now because of how amazing the battery life is supposed to be but I am almost crying :'(
I have noticed that if I turn WiFi off, the phone will go to sleep without any problems but turn it on and it'll stay up all night and all day draining the battery 2% every 5 minutes of use. It appears GoogleSearch is the culprit but I'd like some more help on this.
I have uploaded some screenshots if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Disable Google Now and Greenify it. If it's a system app, I recommend using a minimal gapps package. Like the one from my signature.
If that's still not good enough, Greenify WhatsApp and Viber. We need to see if they are the cause. I suspect something else is the issue, but let's rule out your top 3.
Oh I almost forgot. Thank you for posting a BBS log without being asked.

Greenify won't allow me to hibernate it since its a System app and asks me to buy the donate package. Also, I'm on ART so Xposed doesn't work for me. Is there a workaround?

Then change it to a user app with Titanium Backup, etc lol. If you installed it from the Play Store it would be a user app, it's installed as a system app if it's flashed in a gapps package. Shouldn't have any problems moving it. You could also Greenify it for free if you did that..

You said you are on PA. You need to wipe system, reflash PA, then flash the Banks minimal gapps in my signature. Then download Google search from play store. Google Now is now user app and can Greenify it. After you do that, send another BBS log.
You will also need Nova launcher or similar. Banks gapps doesn't come with a launcher.
OK guys....look at this I found.
Last night I enabled the new "OK google from any screen" option, in Google settings, OK Google hotword detection.
Then after only after I woke up (didn't charge...I charged before bed) look what I saw....held awake time on Google search, which I've never gotten before.
So a couple hours ago I turned from any screen option off.....no more held awake time on search.
So guys with Google search out of control.....that might be the issue.
Too bad too....I liked that new feature, but Google gone messed it up.....again.

Sadly, this is to be expected at this point.
I think like double tap to wake.... If it isn't on the low voltage core, like moto x always listening is, its never gonna be battery friendly. But people wanted....they got it...kinda. Better than having to be on a certain screen anyway. Just now audio in is listening to every sound it hears.
Hey all!
Has anyone else been experiencing a much higher battery drain with 4.4.3? It's not only me but a bunch of friends and family with the M8 have been experiencing drains when by the end of the day they would have 50% but now it's getting down to 10% or even lower. For me, it will sit on my desk during class and drain a minimum of 15%. Classes are about an hour and a half.
Any tips? It's getting really hard to keep the phone plugged in.
Install Better Battery Stats app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) . Let it run for a day and see what's killing your battery. I have a feeling its services within Google Play services. I used "Disable Services" app and "Autorun Manager" app to stops alot of play services from sucking my battery.
I wouldn't say I'm getting significant battery drain going from 1.8 viper Rom 4.4.2 to 2.5 viper 4.4.3 w/ firmware but it is noticeable. Also DS battery saver is good, especially if your in low 4g areas all the time

Also check out unbounce if you use xposed, works great.

You seen that google play is killing your battery using the wake lock app? Just wondering or what were you using to see this?
suggestion
After any OTA or official update, its a most perform a factory reset* from Stock recovery.
Follow these steps
So Google Play Serveries suck most of our battery up. I use two apps to stop certain Google play receives from running. From installing the app "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) you are able to see what wakelocks are draining your phone (Both kernel and partial wakelocks). First app to install is "Disable services." In this app go to Google Play services and disable (some of these are default disabled):
- AnalyticsServices
- GcmServices
- SyncService
- PlayLogBrokerservice
- PackageBroadcastService
- InitialzeInternetService
- UserPresence
- GeofenceProviderService
Now install the app "Autorun Manager." Click on "Advance Mode." Go into settings and make sure "Show system entries" is unchecked. In the advance mode scroll down to "Google Play Services" and disable (some of these are default disabled):
- .gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Reciever
- ..gms.checkin.EventLogService$Reciever
- .gms.CheckinService$TriggerReciever
- .gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Activereciever
- .gms.mdm.recieiver.ActivateDeviceAdminUponUnlockreciever

From doing this...I have 1% drain from all of Google Play Services. When Google Play services updates from time to time, you might have to go back and disable these receivers. On this phone, I am able to get 6 hours of screen time. This is on about 30% 4G and 70% Wifi on a daily basis. Took me some trial and error to disable these services. My setup makes nothing FC at all! Hope this helps. You will yield amazing battery life!

I installed it and it just showed 2 apps on the screen I assumed those were supposed to be the ones draining my battery one was google play other was my data manager. Since it only showed those two shouldnt those be the ones it chose were draining my power ?
Although the marshmallow update really looks awesome and behave so cool and fresh, gotta say on my case the MT-TL10 has lost the most strongest point it ever had. The battery endurance
I frequently used to have 6h of screen on time back in 5.1 Lollipop but now i struggle to pass 3.5h SOT! Which is really disappointing! :crying::crying:
DId a factory reset on B560 but nothing has improved over the B525 now having second thoughts to go back to 5.1 by next week. If anyone knows some solid leads to sort this out please help me.
Thanks in advance
I use leandroid to control radios and minimise drain. Also make sure the OS is set to not start all apps at boot. Only the ones you want/need.
There's also a setting that could affect it.
Settings/Advanced Settings/Security/Apps with usage access.
Google play store is probably turned on. Try turning it off so it only works when you go to play store.
I'd leave google play services on though.

Thanks for the tip man.. I resetted the phone again and used LEANDROID as you suggested.. Now things are much improved..
I've got the OP6 since release and haven't had any battery issues until i upgraded to 5.1.9. prior to 5.1.9 I used to get a 1-3% drop overnight. Post 5.1.9 I get about 1-2% per hour of stand-by. The drain is not so high like I have a misbehaving app, my phone sleeps ok with the occasional wake-ups to get notifications. I was just very happy with the SOT and stand-by times i was getting before i upgraded to 5.1.9 and just trying to get back to it.
Also it seems like i'm getting a little bit higher drain from google play services that before, it always shows up third on my battery stats list and before the update it used to be beyond the 8-10th place.
-Already cleared cache from recovery before this battery cycle (Beginning of previous cycle).
-Already cleared google play services Data before the start of this cycle (Beginning of previous cycle).
-Already cleared google app Data before the start of this cycle (Beginning of previous cycle).
-Already cleared app cache before the start of this cycle (Beginning of previous cycle).
-Scanning off, GPS battery saving, overnight data was on 4G not Wifi, advanced (aggressive) optimization on, all apps are being battery optimized.
I've read most related threads and haven't found anything that helped, What should I do?
Also I read on a thread that turning off Android system background process helps, is it safe to do that?
Update:
So I think I found a fix somehow.
-Clear data for all Google play stuff (service, store, games, Google app). Then restart.
- reset network settings.
- Also I traveled to another country and not using dual SIM as I was and only on one SIM now with LTE.
- stopped using maildroid and used Gmail for work email. It's the app I suspected to mess with my standby drain.
- Also I have found an anomaly with Google photos. There are three settings to back-up Google photos and all three do not talk to each other:
1- Within the app itself. Google photos> settings> backup & sync
2- Phone options> Google> Google photos backup
This one doesn't appear all the time, sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not! Haven't figured out why it sometimes show and sometimes not though, but last time it showed I made sure it's off)
3- Accounts> Google > Google photos backup
(Screenshots below)
All the above three options don't talk to each other at all. so if you have it turned off within the app and the Google settings menu it can still be on within the accounts menu.
I think that causes sync issues which leads to battery drain specially in standby.
My current setup that do not drain battery is as follows:
1- Google photos> settings> backup & sync (ON)
2- Phone options> Google> Google photos backup (OFF)
3- Accounts> Google > Google photos backup (OFF)
I get my photos synced on wifi without issues and no extra battery drain.
When I found out thy don't talk to each other and turned them all on (specially the one in the Google settings menu) I started getting extra battery drain and Google play services showed up persistently in my top three battery usage items. Screenshots in comments.
Standby drain is now back at 2-3% overnight.
Heres some of the things I do to maximize battery,
Every one is different though,but these work for me
Use dark theme always
Don't use aggressive doze
Don't optimize apps that you really need notifications from
Turn off Bluetooth,location
Use nova launcher with dark theme
Low to medium brightness,no auto brightness
Clear cache from cached data in storage regularly
Occasionally do deep clear from advanced
Don't use face unlock
Turn off unused gestures,
Just some tips,but I do get small battery drain at night anyway, I don't think you should worry about it

Just a recommendation I got before from users on OnePlus forums, the concensous generally there is to just use normal optimization.It does seem to drain less

I've been using advanced optimization since I got the phone and was getting very good results up until my aforementioned problem. Will give it a shot.
settings/wifi/wifi preferences/advance
check for keepwifi on during sleep...put never
check network notification...switch off
i hope this works
Nothing to do man, bull**** to use more 'optimization' by turning wifi off, using theme and other things. I mean we should use the phone how we want right?
Just wait for a new update...
All OP6 users got standby draining. Annoying asf.
Just a note, clearing cache in recovery does nothing. This phone doesn't have a cache partition.
Try restoring network settings.
*Settings, backup and reset, network settings reset*
This helped me when I was on Samsung s7-e when I had some strange drains from an update.
I have no issues with my device on 5.1.9

You are right 100%..this is obviusly semi product..i fight with their support team, already change with them more than 30 mails, they just ask screen shoots for this ss for that...they should give money back, in my hand phone go crazy just like that loose overnight 36% with everiting off. Sometimes during day too. I have this problems since i get OP6, 4 weeks ago.
I was using the same settings since I bought OnePlus (OOS 5.1.3) and I had an amazing battery life on OOS 5.1.5, but since 5.1.8 also 5.1.9, battery life sux. It is a problem with the software. In their opinion I should turn off all the features, even take out the sim card, maybe I should turn off the phone to save battery...

Feels bad man. The Chinese Oxygen version did fix the battery drain issue on 5.1.10. So we can expect it to.
Or you downgrade to before 5.1.8 and update when 5.1.10 is out.
Or you just wait. Don't do these 'battery optimization'. Not needed when the OS is the problem. And not your personal usage.
So I think I found a fix somehow.
-Clear data for all Google play stuff (service, store, games, Google app). Then restart.
- reset network settings.
- Also I traveled to another country and not using dual SIM as I was and only on one SIM now with LTE.
- stopped using maildroid and used Gmail for work email. It's the app I suspected to mess with my standby drain.
- also I noticed an anomaly with Google photos
Standby drain 3% overnight with 6-7 hours sot depending on usage. (Screenshot below).
now after I got good results Im using maildroid for this cycle to see if it had any effect or not.
Also I have found an anomaly with Google photos. There are three settings to back-up Google photos and all three do not talk to each other:
1- Within the app itself. Google photos> settings> backup & sync
2- Phone options> Google> Google photos backup
This one doesn't appear all the time, sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not! Haven't figured out why it sometimes show and sometimes not though, but last time it showed I made sure it's off)

Weird thing is that I do not have the backup options under the phone settings under google or under account.
The only place it shows to backup photos is within the google photos app itself
