Did anyone face this?
I have the ML00 Chinese version and the battery was working great.. But a couple of days ago I decided to turn on auto launch under phone manager for Facebook and few other apps then from yesterday I started noticing the battery drain.. I turned off the ones I turned on and I actually deleted the Facebook but the problem still persists.. Anyone faced this? If yes, did you resolve it?! Does the Gmail app affect the battery if auto launch turned on?!

I've used to have a very good battery life on my Droid Charge. Few days ago I've installed Google+ client and played with it (love auto-syncing photos with Picasa). Yesterday I've noticed that my battery drains much faster than usual. Tried disable all sync and notifications in Google+ settings and even signed out from accout, but it was still draining about 6% per hour overnight. Uninstalled Google+ and so far it seems I am back to 1-2% per hour.
I am running EE4. If you have Google+ and have issues with battery life, try uninstalling it (not just signing off) and see if you battery life improves.
I also have suspected Google + for abnormal battery drain. I'm goingto uninstall and see if that helps
I have not noticed any extra battery drain with google + installed. I have auto sync pictures on when plugged in only if that makes a difference.
The problem is sync notifications turn themselves back on...funny you say this, as I have been watching it for the last week...but didn't have a real chance to test till today...
It be great if I could get some more input...to see if its me or not...or the rom(s) I'm running but turn off sync through settings open appear back out and go back to settings. Saw the same thing on reboots?
Anyone else getting this?

I'm not sure if you guys downloaded the new Google Search update yesterday. Apparently it was updated yesterday the 14th. But question is, anyone experiencing battery drain due to the new update? I charged my phone 100% my last night, woke up the next morning with it down to 35%. I checked the battery status and it looks like the Google Search application used up 76% of my battery over the night. Anyone else experiencing this with the new update?
I had the same issue. Updated Google search yesterday. Went to bed with my n5 battery at 45% and woke up with it at 3%. All due to Google services. I usually only lose 3-4% overnight. Going to see if it does it again, if so, I'll uninstall the Google search update.
Uninstalling app updates is almost always a really bad idea.
Reboot your phone and see if that fixes it. It's possible that during the upgrade process something hanged and THAT is what is eating the battery.
The new update is fine for me. If a reboot doesn't solve the issue you could look at clear the app data and re configuring the app.
OP, mine is running just fine - I suggest you should look thru all your Goole syn settings on the N5 to see what's running in the background, i.e. turned off Google Now, Drive, Photo & Music, etc. has yielded excellent standby time for me.
Not comparing it on the basis of screen on time, but it's been in standby mode for 2+ days and 50% power, with very moderate to no voice usage - and running Talkatone over WiFi. Google Search is 2% for me and of course, YMMV.

Uninstalling the app update is not a bad idea stop being dramatic
I usually reboot after I update apps, so it wasn't something hanging in the app update. It could have been stuck during an account backup via google's servers. I only have a few select things marked to sync in the account.

I'm doing this. Seeing if it does it again when I don't have work the next day.

Experiencing the same thing but not quite to that extreme (lost 18% in like 8 hours). I am extremely frustrated because I didn't think to make a backup so I can't revert back and yesterday when I tried to just uninstall the updates, it screwed up everything that was laid out on the home screen.
I was having a few battery drain and stability problems so I decided it was time to do a fresh install of Android. The main culprit was Play Services but it was always a different thread and I could never get the problem under control. I was barely getting through a 16 hour day on a single battery charge even with only an hour of screen on time which is insane for these droid maxx's.
I flashed stock Android 4.4 and accidentally unrooted myself in the process, but that means I am 100% stock kitkat with the late April mini update.
I still have the Play Services battery drain bug.
I killed half my battery yesterday in like a half hour of screen on time and 7 hours of idle. The phone won't sleep. Google Play Services still shows as the culprit in the battery settings.
I've disabled Now, location settings, sync (it literally doesn't sync anything), wi-fi, and interest-based ads. (All tips I've seen from people that have had the bug across XDA). I've let Play Services update from 4.8 to 5.0. And it still won't let the phone go to sleep.
Anyone have any other thoughts on the issue? I'm ready to pull my hair out! I have no idea what's causing this bug but it's driving me up the wall.
BTW I don't have any meaningful screenshots right now because I'm not rooted yet. I'm going to try jcase's pie method to get root back and post via BBS, but in the meantime I've heard this is a fairly common issue, so I threw the post up in case anyone else has encountered and solved the problem. What I'll share in the meantime is that my phone has been off the charger today for 1 hr 39 min. Play Services has kept it awake for 1 hr 38 min.

Ive had this problem too... Only I am on 4.2.2. Only fix for me was either nandroid'ing back to a previous state [temporary fix] or using Xposed + WakeLock Terminator to prevent GPS from getting WakeLock [So far has been permanent for about 1 month]
There's a couple of ways to address this. As noted, this is an issue with the play services abusing the GPS. In addition, it's a problem with the stock firmware. As I am sure you want to continue using GPS, these options allow you to leave it on.
In the GPS configuration, it's possible to reduce or turn off access to GPS to individual apps.
There are apps that allow managing app permissions. You can use this to revoke access to various things. Use it to revoke play services access to GPS.
If memory serves me right, these don't require root.
I managed to get root back so what I'm experimenting with is the app ops settings. I'll report back with an update. Thanks for the ideas guys.
Hi,
My nexus 5 does not show/get messages from Whatsapp after the phone screen has been locked and not woken up for a while. This is happening on 3G. This seems to be happening during the afternoon. It's not really anything to do with the time I guess.. probably only because the phone is least used while im at work.
Battery saver is off and no such battery saving apps are in use
Anyone else facing this issue ?
Thanks!
Check if you have priority notifications enabled.
Hint: Check for a Star icon in the top right corner.
Check if you have restricted data for Google Services or any other Google/System related app
I am running into a Wakelock issue and I am completely stumped. For some reason, my phone refuses to go into deep sleep for hours on end. Better Battery Stats shows that the phone spends the majority of its time with the CPU at its lowest frequency, but refuses to go into deep sleep. The issue started when I clean flashed LinageOS back when I tried 14.1. Since 15.1 has recently released, I tried to have another go, yet the problem remains. I am using a Oneplus 5.
The very weird thing about these Wakelocks is, is that they are completely invisible. Wakelock Detector isn't showing any specific wakelocks (Advanced mode enabled), but does show that the phone isn't entering the deep sleep state. Not even for a single second. Better Battery Stats shows the same thing, with zero seconds spent in Screen off (deep sleep) and all the time spent in Screen off (Awake). No application is listed anywhere that's causing these wakelocks. They aren't visible under partial wakelocks nor kernel wakelocks.
Now this is where things get bizarre. I tried removing all my applications and reinstalling them one by one to find out if it was an app that was causing the issues. Each time I installed an app, I would check whether the phone would go into deep sleep when I wasn't using it. It turns out that the phone stopped going into deep as soon as Whatsapp was installed. Yet Whatsapp would never register more than a few seconds of wakelocks each passing hour.
I'm not sure where to even begin to try and solve this issue. Has anyone else ever experienced these kind of invisible / hidden wakelocks, and if so, how did you manage to fix these issues? Thank you very much in advance for helping me out
Nobody with a similar problem to mine? It's really killing battery life for me

I think I may have something similar happening with WhatsApp. My stats show lots of time spent with CPU on and screen off. Wakelock detector shows WhatsApp at the top of the list. But I don't really understand how to solve it other than deleting WhatsApp, which I don't want to do. Did you get anywhere with it?

No, I still have the same issue unfortunately. Though my issue seems to be slightly different than yours in the sense that Whatsapp is very low in the list. The total minutes of Wakelock is far below the total minutes of awake (screen off). But uninstalling Whatsapp instantly solves the wakelock issue. Out of interest, what phone are you using and what rom?

I got here through a google search. I am not sure it's whatsapp causing this (haven't removed it yet) but on a Moto G3 with LOS 15.1 unofficial by Rahul I have the same symptoms.
