Google services draining so much battery.

So ive been using PA 4.3 for a couple of days now and ive noticed that google services is using up my battery. I do have location services on, only have GPS satellites ticked and WiFi & Mobile network location unticked. Is there any other way of google services to stop draining my battery? I did turn off Location services for 1 day and to be honest battery life didnt change..

EDIT 1: Managed to fix google services, all i did was update the gapps then google services never came back up. Still have GPS on.
EDIT 2: Encounter another problem after installed new gapps Android system use to use 70% of my battery but now its only under 10%. Battery life amazing so far! GPS still on. I didnt freeze anything. I didnt use any app to fix these issues.

I've read about this same issue on different ROMs and phones recently. We all have to remember that the 4.3 ROMs are still in the very early stages and bugs like this are to be expected but will be clearing up soon. :thumbup: In the meantime, depending on how much you rely on Google services, this might be useful to you:

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Its a known issue.. Freezing Google service might solve it.. And share me that dollah!!

[Q] Android ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level?

As the title says, I'm looking for a ROM with phone features disabled at the OS level (No texting, phonebook, data), since the radio fried, and all it's doing is eating up battery.I like my phone enough to keep it, but I'd rather not replace the whole motherboard because of it. Any leads? Or am I better off just building one myself?

That's what I've always done tbqh. Enabling airplane mode has always given me a noticeable uptick in battery life, and when my Skyrocket was a skyPod, I could milk days out of the thing.

Even when the cellular was working fine, it had 2-3 days of battery the way I was using it. Now that it's gypped, I've been getting 10-12 hours. I'll first test around with airplane mode before doing anything too drastic to it.
Might also go the factory reset route, if i can get the Wifi Antenna working again.

That sounds more like a doomsday wakelock than a hardware problem. Have you checked those for vampires?

Yea, I ran GSAM Battery Monitor and it was giving me a 90% total battery usage being used by the cellular radio, 5% wifi usage, and 3% app usage, with 2% wakelock. I also ran the secondary tests, and I have no wakelock isssues from my charger. When airplane mode's enabled, and wifi's on, I get 20% wifi, 40% screen, and 40% apps. Battery drain is now controlled at an estimated 2%/hour while off, and 5%/hour while being used, down from 8%/hour while off, and 12%/hour while being used. For me, usage means moderate use, with a lot of apps and photos.

That seems pretty normal. My Rocket gets about 1% per hour when idle, 5% per hour when in moderate use (apps, browsing), 8-10% per hour if I'm playing processor-intensive games, and I spent months fine-tuning it to kill any and all wakelocks I possibly could. You might have hit the limit there.

[Q] Is this normal battery life? (Wakelock data inside)

Hi
I wanted to see how much power my phone used over an night. I greenified all background apps, turned of data, sync, wifi and bluetooth. When it reached 100% I unplugged it. Over the night (7 hours and 46 minutes) it reached 94%.
Then I turned on data alone (with power saving on. So black/white screen) to surf the internet. After 15 minutes with screen on, it reached 90%.
Is this normal? Might just be my battery. It just annoys me as for example my friend have the new Iphone 6+ which have an 2915mAH battery and even after a few hours in school, his is still at 100% (after moderate use)

Thanks in advance

Its totally depend on how much RAM and the Processor is being used by ur phone..
More processes means more RAM and Processing requirements..
and of coarse, the battery..
older the battery, lesser the life..

Yeah I know that, which is why I posted the pictures.
Almost nothing is running, so why do it use so much power over an night? It's was even it power saving mode, which decrease max CPU.

its possible that ur ROM is using more battery...
U'hv posted the pics of the processes that are shown by ur android, but there are many other system processes that are not shown directly to a user..
Is ur phn is ROOTED?? if yes:
Check the system processes that are using more battery & terminate them to increase ur batt lyf..

Why don't you just turn off your phone?
Also, you can root it and underclock it when it's idle (which I don't recommend, unless it's already rooted, but be careful)
You can also put it in Airplane Mode.

[SOLVED] What is eating my battery on Nexus 5?

Let me get straight to the point.
Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.0.2, with xTrasmooth ROM with no problems with battery whatsoever... but suddenly I get around 16% drained overnight when I would get much less before.
After a clean install, the only thing I did was install alpha xPosed with a few modules (Xgels, Gravity, Youtube adaway, Youtube background enabler).
Can anyone tell me how to show logs or look for wakelocks and things like that to show battery stats?
All I have is this:

Use Gsam battery monitor, it will tell you your wakelocks

You could have been in a dead zone or something and as a result, your phone kept trying to search for the signal. It also helps if you turn down your brightness

The op is talking about 16 percent drain overnight. I dont think turning down his brightness will help him. Like the other poster said, use either bbs, or wakelock detector to determine wakelocks. As jarshdude said bad cell signal could be the culprit. For this I use the smart radio function on cataclysm, to change to 3g when on wifi. As my lte service is spotty at best in my house. But im guessing its a rogue app causing wakelocks.

See posts 1 to 4 in the battery help thread in my signature. And if you still need help, post the recommended screen shots there. ?

I used to have this issue as well. Mostly the main culprits are Google apps and social networking apps doing syncs, disable Google syncs for services you don't need/use and if there are social networking apps that you would like it to sync, perhaps increase the sync refresh interval.

Is it not xposed as it's still in testing?

I should've read these threads before, sorry guys.
Anyways, I think xposed alpha for lollipop was the culprit, but it got resolved after a few restarts wiping cache and dalvik, or so I think, because that's all I did. Now I only drain 3 to 4 % overnight, which is pretty good for me, since that's what I was draining on stock before.

Help with Battery life

I recently got one of this phones off ebay deal. So far the phone has been really good (after going to 5.1.1) other than the battery life which is super terrible. I leave for office at 8AM and by the time I am back around 6:30 in evening its already down to 8-9% with barely 1 hour of SOT. While using the phone I can clearly see battery going down by 1 percent every two minutes.
One of the other things I noticed is it takes a while to charge battery. Almost takes 4 hours to charge it.
Have done everything listed in various thread on XDA to fix battery drain but nothing is helping. To summarize I have
- Rooted my phone
- Disable AT&T enhanced 4G LTE
- Tweak setting with kernel auditor
- Disable ATT bloatware
- Install greenify and amplify
- Installed CF.Lumen to control brightness
Not sure what I am missing here now. Any help is appreciated from you guys.

Does the phone feel warm on the back when it's just sitting?
If so, you probably have a runaway app. You can check the battery section in options and see what's eating battery.
I had this a while ago on nexus 5 with the ebay app, the same also happened to a friend of mine with the same app.

hello, there.
i had the same problem, it seems that your phone is not going to deep sleep mode.
i fixed my problem with Nitro X, you can find it here on xda.
now i am very happy with my battery, for example now it says on battery for 2 days 15h 29min 22s and still 60% battery remaining.
hope this helps.

It only gets warm when playing some games. I will look at some of the apps as you suggested. Thanks,

Thanks. I am gonna give it a shot. I see they have 2 versions - X86 and Non-X86. which one should I flash? Also since flex 2 doesn't support any recovery (twrp etc) should I just flash it with Flashfire app?

hello kunalmalviya,
i downloaded the non x86 (=the arm version).
i do not know about flashfire, you should ask on the forum.
Please click the thanks! button if that helped.
PEACE.

Try reflashing latest software via LG Flash Tool.
I have no issue with battery life. It is slightly better than on LG G2 which is awesome. (3-4 hours SOT without any problems, no tweaks, no root, brigthness on 100%, Wi-Fi, NFC and LTE enabled all the time, Google Now enabled, Google Location Services enabled and lot of apps running in background).
