Just hours of "EntriesRefresh_wakelock". Anyone else?

Is anyone seeing this copious amounts of this wakelock too? It's part of the Google Search app and its wakelock has now been active for close to 5 hours now just today and seems to be active for most of the day. This is reported by Better Battery Stats and is seems to be confirmed by high energy usage by the built-in batttery settings app, as Google Search hovers in the mid 20s percentage.

I got this wakelock overnight after completely disabling location services. My N5 was held awake literally the whole night by this wakelock. This morning I turned back on location reporting and the phone is deep sleeping once again. Very strange. Did you have location service disabled because that seems to be what is causing the wakelock?
I would like to find a solution to this so I can keep location services disabled without completely disabling Google Now for overnight when I can't access a charger.

Yeah, I have my location services set to "device only", which I guess is the equivalent to the former GPS only. It could be that the GPS is turning itself off and on continually while it's supposed to be sleeping, and the fact that I'm mainly indoors could explain the hours long wakelock.
I set it to GPS only on the Nexus 5, because that was the most battery friendly on the Nexus 4, but the way services now work, it could be the least battery friendly setting.

this is completely confirmed! my note3 wasnt sleeping at all with the new google search 20hrs of no deep sleep with location off and i turned location on and its been sleeping like a dream for the past hour.. Very weird though

Same issue here with my HTC One. I noticed my battery was tanking at about twice the normal rate today, so I just opened up Wake Lock Detector and saw that on about 5.5 hours of use, Google Search had it awake for 4.5 of them. I've just turned on location services to see if that fixes it.
But, I'm with you. I'd rather find a fix that lets me keep location disabled.

Me too. I have a Galaxy4 S4 with 4.3 stock Samsung ROM. WLD shows huge count of EntriesRefresh_wakelock with almost three hours from 12 por off charge.

Confirmed on the lg g2 on 4.3. I disabled Wi-Fi and mobile network location because of the horrible nlp partial wakelocks only to encounter the entriesRefresh wakelock leech. Keeps awake like 90 of the time. I'm going to go back to enable Wi-Fi and mobile location until this is cleared up.

I am unable to even use Google now.. if I enable Location Report it's burning up and running about 20%.. if I disable Location Reporting it's running 50%.. I like Google Now and don't have any use for the location stuff...
Anyone have any updates? My only other option is going to just be to wipe it and keep Google Now unused so it doesn't run at all..

You can try to greenify Google search which contains this wakelock if you have the paid version of greenify (hibernates system apps). They say it's inadvisable to hibernate system apps, but you can override it. I would do a full backup and try it. They refund your money in 3 days instead of 15 minutes if your not happy. I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Oddly enough I never had this issue on my nexus 5, but my Nexus 7 is absolutely plagued with just hours and hours of this wake lock as soon as I turn location reporting off.

Same issue here, my N7 is going nuts with this.

This has happened on my N5 before. Force stopping it once I noticed and also rebooting seem to fix it.

I had this wakelock for 2 nights in a row, completely draining the battery BUT
I have location services enabled and GPS is on (I play Ingress all the time and the network loaction gives me a faster lock)

I too noticed this was my top partial wakelock yesterday even though I have location services on. First time I've seen that happen. But it wasn't as aggressive as it was when location services were off.

Noticed this keeping my Nexus 5 awake 51%, location services were disabled. My Nexus 7 and Moto X also have them disabled and they were only awake 1%. Google Search is showing 60% of the battery but my device has been mostly idle for 4 days now. I'll see if enabling the services helps otherwise I'm not sure what else to attempt.

I got this wakelock this morning.... "entriesrefresh_wakelock"
my location reporting is off
I love my N5 but god......I'm experiencing battery drain frequently (when I'm not on WIFI) with different wakelocks...
Otherwise the battery life is very good, if google can fix it once for all

I had this problem on my Nexus 5 too. I "fixed" it by uninstalling updates for the Google Search app (you can get there by going Settings>Apps and tapping Google Search). However Google will re-update the app frequently so you will have to repeat the process. Here's hoping another update fixes this problem.

Either disabling Location reporting or Locations all together can get rid of this I believe. Tasker can automatically re-enable it when you leave your wifi zone.

[HOW-TO] [FIX] [XPOSED] NlpWakeLock, NlpCollectorWakeLock and RILJ.

Greetings,
After going through many forums trying to find a solution for these Wakelocks, all I found was switching off Location or Google Location History to get rid of RILJ and using Amplify to increase the interval of Nlp.
However, Turning off location or GLH is not a practical solution for me, and Amplify is not that easy to work with, so I was back to square one.
I found out that Nlp Wakelocks are associated with Google Play Services, Google Services Framework. RILJ is associated with Phone (Telephony) functions.
*The solution:
An Xposed module called (No Wakelock) in the Play Store that is capable of controlling Partial and Full WLs, aligning alarms and controlling sync for the selected apps, including system apps with the donation package.
*The results:
After disabling Partial/Full Wakelocks and enabling Aligning alarms for the aforementioned apps, Location and GLH are On.
They are no longer showing in BBS or WLD. AT ALL.**
Android Device Manager is capable of locating my phone.
SMS/Phone calls are working Fine.
No Frozen Screen, SoD, etc.
Gmail sync is delayed a few hours/minutes, without changing its settings in the module.
** Since everything is working perfectly fine even though these WLs are not showing at all, then what is the Real purpose of having them working in excess like that?
Kindly note that I'm not affiliated with the module or the developer in anyway.
If you would like to use it, please use common sense and do it at your own risk.
Cheers.

What did you disable?

I'd like to know that too

do you have fix for nougat? i use forcedoze and it works well with every service. But google services still trigger wakelock and drain my battery.
However, this problem had a temporary fix, if i switch on battery saver. this problem will stay away for awhile.
But i don't like this kind of method.

im also interesting how to fix it in Nougat

Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms) cause battery drain when in deep sleep

Android 5.1 stock rom, everything is up-to-date.
Yesterday, before to go to bed I've done the following:
I turned off wifi, set the phone to plane mode and activated the power save under the battery settings (which should reduce a lot of things). Before to lock the screen my battery was at 57 %. After 8 hour my battery was at 44 %.
Thanks to "BetterBatteryStats" - BBS - I've found, under the "Alarms" section, that the process com.google.android.gms was reported to be active at 56 %.
I am sure that I don't have other WakeLocks, firstly because no Wake Locks are reported by BBS - and the deep sleep is correctly reported also by BBS, and secondly because the phone is only awake when the screen is on:
I ask to myself: why Google Play Store remains active when there is no active connection on my phone, and when the sync is disabled? Furthermore, under the wifi option I also disabled the option wifi scan always available.

I think I'm on the right way to solve this issue. I've done some research and I installed "Disable Service" from the playstore.
First of all, please keep in mind that I use just few Google Apps: Gmail, Google App (to use the vocal assistant) and the Play Store. With the following changes all these apps still work without issues (at least for now).
last night i left my phone in standby as yesterday (plane mode, wifi turned off and powersave activate): for 8 hours is always stayed at 91 % of charge
Here the services of which I got rid:
LockScreenService
BackupTransport
Googlelocationservice
GoogleLocationManagerService
GcmService
These four services were always active as background processes on my phone.
Then, using Gemini App Manager, I went to Google Play Services, and by going under "AppOps" I turned off the "Wake Lock" authorization.
Furthermore, I also disabled other services related to G apps which I don't use:
com.google.android.gms.drive.api.DriveAsyncService com.google.android.gms.fitness.sync.FitnessSyncAdapterService
com.google.android.gms.games.service.GamesSyncServiceMain
com.google.android.gms.games.service.GamesSyncServiceNotification
com.google.android.gms.drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.MetadataSyncService
com.google.android.gms.plus.service.OfflineActionSyncAdapterService
com.google.android.location.reporting.service.ReportingSyncService
com.google.android.gms.kids.restrictions.sync.RestrictionsSyncService
com.google.android.gms.drive.metadata.sync.syncadapter.SyncAdapterService
com.google.android.gms.subscribedfeeds.SyncService com.google.android.gms.kids.timeouts.sync.TimeoutsSyncService
com.google.android.gms.fitness.wearables.WearableSyncService
and all services related to Google Drive.
But the above section i'm not sure which is useful, since I never seen these services active on my phone, also because I uninstalled a lot of g-apps (Drive, Games, Plus, Books, News, Music).
I will keep updated this discussion when/if I will encounter some trouble (eg I want to test Google Maps and the GPS).

Dude i got the same problem!! But i play quite a lot with my Mi4c so i sould care what i'm going to stop!
This thing is really annoying anyway :/

How did you uninstall them my ex synced our phones plus added things to spy but its not even letting me forcestop some of them what he has added and is remote using or bridgung....has able to see everything text messages phone calls my pictures everything. ..HELP PLEASE HELP

Huawei Watch 2 Performance tips

I read some reviews where was taken as an issue that HW 2 has sometimes sluggish performance. I can confirm this issue, and here are few tips how to fix it.
Google Fit vs Huawei Health
Google Fit might be more usable for people who own multiple different Android Wear watches.
Huawei Health is more suitable for watch native widgets, and isnt so much "google centric". You might display your week workout statistics without phone or cloud.
Which one of these two is more efficent app, and consumes less battery life would be an interesting thing to test, but you definitely have to use only one of those two.
1. Use it or lose it
Because I prefer workout apps provided by Huawei, i disabled:
- Google Fit (however it seems to be started after reboot)
- Runtastic
Therefore certain sensors are not accessed by multiple apps at the same time, or more often as necessary. You can do it other way around and disable Huawei Health apps instead.
Because i dont use Google/Google Feed at all on the watches, i uninstalled its upgrades (as the app cannot be removed completely). Also i had to disable its notifications so it will not pop up with new update.
I disabled and stopped also:
- Google Text-to-speech engine (and disable notifications as well)
- Google Handwriting input.
2. Watchface choice - The more simplistic watchface and more static data, the better.
Accessing compass, barometer, pedometer and weather just over watchface might be convenient, but it may require an update from all watch sensors and GPS. Also it reduces battery life, especially when watches try to update Weather widget by current location, when GPS is not reachable.
3. Time synchronisation
Choose either sync from phone, or sync from network, but never both at the same time.
4. Continuous heart rate monitoring.
Disable it by default, turn it on when you workout.
Hope this helps.

Tips regarding battery life:
Mobile/Cellular - On (as I dont own another phone)
Wifi: Off
BT: Off
NFC: Off (so far)
GPS (Allow apps to get position): On
Watchface : Line Watchface with shortcut to Phone app, Messages app, Date complication, and Pedometer indicator.
(Least resource consuming watchface seems to be "Blank", which appears to me as an ideal "Display always on" watchface.)
Display always On: Disabled
Wrist Gestures: Disabled
Tilt to Wake: Disabled
Touch to wake: Enabled (not sure if it affects battery life, but waking watches with button would keep the display more clean)
"Ok Google" : Disabled
Magnification Gestures : Disabled
Talkback (experimental): Disabled
(this feature should be more important in upcoming update)
Except pedometer, Watchface does not have any active widgets, or widgets which attempt to take GPS location (Such as Weather app widget). After 24 hours since the watches were configured as described above, Battery app reports:
Mobile standby 27%
Watch idle 5%
Android System 2%
Google Play services 1%
Huawei Health 1%
Line Watch Face 1%
Also watches were charged up to 100%, and then after 24 hours (with 4g network still available), battery had 63%. During this time, watches were used to check time and battery status few times.

What?? You can get two full days when always connected with 4g? When on 4g, is the watch remotely connected to a smartphone or something to get notification?
When i am connected to 4g my battery drain is about 10% an hour at best. Most of the time even a lot more... im gonna try your scenario, would be great if i could manage at least a full day standalone...

Just 4g means no connection to "master phone".
In my case it means no notifications from Google/Youtube/Gmail, regardless watch clearly has internet connectivity - Google Play Store works. Google feed returns "no connection".
Google Maps and Weather works, but watch needs to check position using build-in GPS - which may cause increase battery usage if you are not in range of satellites.
Browser apps might work as well, but to get notifications which are usually directed on your phone and then redirected to watch... might be troublesome. To find it out you might need to use console from the watches and explore networking between watches and mobie network provider. Heard some rumours you need specificly access to google DNS servers, so it might be provider-specific.
In general its not an issue for me, as i want to use the watches instead of mobile phone and... well as a watches

So update for Google Wear (google assistant) is on the way. I am about to update first and second post with some more settings, which should reduce battery consumption.

The android 7 extreme battery saving mode vs what is eating my battery

Hi
I have tried this mode (which keeps only the clock, phone, address book and messaging functionality - I wonder if this is android's or doogee's native mode) overnight and the phone used 4 per cent of battery in 8 hours. This is pretty amazing compared to 20% in 'super' mode, with a number of other tweaks, such as brevent.
This would be the mode of choice for any extended periods, however, switching between the extreme and normal mode is rather clumsy. The button mapper, blockit, non-onboard alarm clock widget, Lux - they all require restarting.
I have tried a number of non root solutions so far:
using brevent to disable maps, inbox, google app, chrome and gmail, which were shown as the main offenders in wakelock detector.
Still, the phone never gets into deep sleep even for a second - except in this extreme mode.
Is it wakelocks that drain the battery? Once I have rid myself of all the google apps, which is not ideal at all, the first three wakeup triggers are: android system, phone service and google services. Still the battery use is 20% of a 5500 battery per night.
I have switched off wifi and bt scanning, I switch off bt and wifi when not using, do not let google track my location, switch off gps..
Doogee s60 users, has anyone tested a way to switch from normal and extreme mode (perhaps using automation) in a quick, unabsorbing way?
