I notice that after update GP Service to 5.0.84 I have bigger battery drain. Anyone else have this problem too? Maybe it's because you can use "OK, Google" hotword everywhere?
I have massive drain too.. Is not GoogleNow because I don't have it installed..
I've turned off location report and history, removed and reinstalled PlayService, wiped cache and dalvik, tried with ART runtime too, re-logged in with Google account and other things..
No active sync, GPS off, nfc off etc..
But other friends with same ROM - Nexus 5 Cm11 M7 stock CM kernel - don't have this problem..
Mumble mumble...
I get the new google services 5.0.84 these days and hoped, that the akku drain is gone, but its not.
When I use the services I need, akku drain of google service goes up to 70 percent and more.
I want to use everything, but without akkudrain.
Normaly the screen was the biggest user of akku, thats normal, but I dont think, that is normal at google services.
My phone is a sony xperia zr with android 4.4.2.
Greetings Lemmi.

There is a problem in every 2.3.5 ROMs (I tested everyone of them...even gingerdx v13).
The problem is due to "google maps" app...
If the app isn't freezed (by titanium) or unistalled, the problem persist.
The problem starts when open "maps". After that, some processes of "maps" start to drain battery....the only thing to do in order to temporally solve this problem, is reboot the phone.
I don't know if is in the app itself or in the way that the ROMs manage it...but It's present and It's a major and annoing bug.
Please try to solve it.
A smartphone with android and gps is useless without maps! ^^
But old gingerbread roms had not this problem, im wondering why it occcurs now.

I don't know...I had froyo ROMs before...no problems with maps!
yup even i am having huge battery drains on the gingerdx rom...
i tried freezing a lot of apps, but was not able to narrow down the causative app..
I figured out that i get a lot of wakelocks by time service
MauriF , how did u figure app that google maps was causing the drain?
I don't have battery drain problems (never had since I logged out of Latitude).
I also tested EVERY rom posted (froyo and gingerbread) and they all had similar battery duration, and no unexplained drains...
Im on ginger dx v13, I found if you listen to music and then stop the music player, some services are still running and it kills your battery so I just reboot the fone and its fine, I also froze dps manager and google maps. If you read the origanal topic on ginger dx it tells that the music player drains your battery. People must except that there will be bugs.

The music player bug IS a bug.
The maps problem isn't. Yes Maps drains the battery but its because you have done one of the following:
Have GPS on
Have enabled an app to see your location: could be browser, latitude, search etc
Have turned on 'My Location' in Settings -> Locaton and Security
Have allowed maps to cache in background: check by opening maps -> more -> cache settings
Android needs to open apps to all of these things, its not the ROM as far as i can see.
Sorted it out for me on GingerDx v11
x drsood,
Using Titanium i freezed maps = no battery drain
enabling it = battery drain (I mean 3% each 5 minutes)
...even if the app is not started.
maybe the problem is one that Dan is saying! I need to check..
x Dan,
I charge battery than I'll check! Thank You very much!!

i have the "maps" as well as "dsp manager" frozen...still i have this battery drain...i know its not a rom problem coz many have reported that they hav excellent battery life, but i cant figure out the app causing all these drains
unistalled "maps 5.9.0" (always some services active...huge battery drain), installed "maps 5.0" (no services active!)
Now I test battery again!
Yeah that's exactly i want to say Maps drain battery so much only 3 hours my phone use up all !
mmm...it's not only maps....
this night in 7h mt battery is at 41% :-/
Check whats running services then. Settings -> Applications -> Running Services
Will probably tell us your problem

i dont have maps but stiil battery drain
and minicm6 (2.2.9) only drains around 7% battery during night
Thank you for usefull info.
I unistalled maps and now my battery last 3 times more. I was impressed.
I found that, using D4Kernal, the battery life extends quite a bit. I got a whole 24 hours out of the phone yesterday which is a first.
just a suggestion
In my experience excessive battery drain can be caused by 3 causes:
1)Apps running in background
Some apps consume more battery than others. the best way to see in my experience is install apps atleast 12H apart so that you can tell which app is causing drain. Google maps process does run forever in background. To stop pit, Go to settings--> applications-->manage applications-->(click on Maps APP)-->click Force Stop. This has to be done everytime you reboot your phone. For a permanent thing, try freezing in Titanium
2)Battery callibration:
While Li-Poly batteries like the BST38 in the x10 minipro dont need full depth charging, the battery measurement needs it.
Try this(need root)
Charge phone to 100%
(Install "Battery callibration" app from Market and click "Callibrate battery")
OR
(Boot into CM Recovery and erase Battery stats)
Once Battery is 100% charged, unplug and discharge to 0%(If you dont have patience for this turn on google maps with GPS, turn on Wifi and play music on your loudspeaker. My battery drained in 1.5 hrs with this usage )
Once Battery is discharged to 0(i.e phone shuts off), Recharge to 100% and use as normal.
After doing this I get around 70+ Hrs of standby in GingerDX v013. This process NEEDS to be done everytime you install a new custom ROM.
3)Ruined Battery:
If you have too much drain in ALL ROM's...including the stock ROM, OR, none of the above steps work,then the battery is probably faulty. There's nothing you can do about it but get a new one
All the best!
EDIT:
4) Network signal strength:
If the signal strength by the service provider is low, your phone will try to amplify it to achieve higher clarity. Unfortuntely this consumes higher power. Your body also absorbs some radiation hence requiring even higher amplification. My recommendation is unless you are moving around, keep your cell outside (On your desk or something). You'll get slightly better signal strength plus if some studies are to be believed you'll be more fertile and smarter and your heart will be healthier too
Hey,is it makin any big difference btween stock and D4's Kernel?

Get 'CpuSpy'
and check if your phone goes into deep sleep.
Also try this, Everytime instead of locking your screen, put the phone to sleep mode (I like doing this thru notification power control widget)
Hello all.
About a week ago I finally updated my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4. I'm really liking how sleek everything looks etc. but battery life has been reduced dramatically. According to the battery usage stats, the main culprit seems to be Google Services, keeping my phone awake for 10+ hours.
At first it was using around 15-18%, then over the course of two days or so it reached a whopping 55%, more than the screen. Since then it has stabilized at around 40%.
I looked all over for a solution but nothing has worked so far.
I uninstalled Google Play Services, I have force stopped + disabled + cleared the data for Bookmark Sync, Calendar Sync, Account Manager, Framework services etc.
I never use Maps/Latitude and Location is always off, along with any and all Sync options I could fine. I also don't have Google Now.
I've literally tried everything I could think of/find online.
Help! :crying:

battery drain was long time problem in gservices. now i dont have it so far. i would advice u to get the latest playservices & maybe also playstore from a trusted source, try to install playstor & same with gservices if they dont install delete old one in system/app or data/app and push the new one there / set permissions...
also deactivate playstore notifications for apss updates
With my phone largely idle, Google Play Services is consuming 40-50% of the power and seems to be stopping the phone sleeping. The net_scheduler wakelock is the biggest culprit causing up to around 800,000 wakelocks in a day. It got to the point where I couldn't get through a day of minimal usage without recharging during the afternoon. I don't use Google+, I have turned off location services and disabled Google books, movies, games, search and google+ apps. I still have sync enabled for Google apps data, calendar, chrome, contacts, gmail and internet but I have disabled sync for drive, Fit data, people and picasa which I don't use anyway.
The problem was worse when I was using Exchange Services to sync with my work email and calendar. Turning off email sync helped a bit but Google Play Services activity still seemed to ramp up and stay high when I had a calendar appointment in Outlook, even with the sync period set to manual. So I have now removed the Exchange account completely.
I am aware that Exchange Services seems to be a common problem, something to do with the version of the Exchange server? Anyway that is not within my control. The serious battery drain started maybe 4 weeks ago and Exchange Services was responsible for most of it. Having eliminated that, its now Google Play, which also seems to be a common problem but usually NlpWakeLock? My phone is currently showing it has been kept awake 1h51m by Google Play Services since this morning, and 1h39m of that is net_scheduler (435409 wakelocks). GSam battery monitor shows almost continuous background activity even when I am not using the phone. The highest battery usage per app is by Google Play Services at 27%, the next highest is Kernel at 9%.
The battery drain seems to be worse when I am at work, where the signal is poor and I am on wifi but that has always been the case. I also use wifi at home. I turn off mobile data while at work to try and reduce battery usage. Other than changes to reduce battery drain I haven't changed anything on my phone for ages and I haven't updated or installed anything new, although I think Google Play automatically updated itself a few weeks ago.
What is net_scheduler and how do I stop it or Google Play killing my battery?
stock Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE, not rooted, on T-mobile

New battery less than a year ago.
Someone please answer your... I am having the same issue and it is riculous. On one plus oxygen.
I am having the exact same problem. 28929 wakelocks for *net_scheduler*
Thank you in advance for anyone's help!
Custom Samsung Note 3 Rom 4.4.2
Me too, pls help us to solve this problem. Thanks.
its my problem too , fk my battery ! plz help ...
Same problem. Recently, battery has been draining crazy fast in standby. Wakelock detector shows this net scheduler causing 263,000 wakelocks over only 4 hours standby and lost about 25% battery doing nothing. Android 4.3 on sony xperia sp.
Using OS monitor app, Android system and google services framework are consuming 60% cpu power when phone is just idle.
Google are a bunch of idiots.
---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------
To fix, find Google Services Framework and clear data and cache. Instantly fixed the problem. CPU usage by Android system and Google framework dropped to 0 and wakelocks have stopped increasing.
I highly recommend the app OS monitor, let's you put a permanent notification which shows top 3 things consuming cpu power.
Before Clearing Framework (this was non-stop, even restarting didn't help)
After
problem has returned, google, you suck.
Hi, I have the same issue like you. I disabled some services of google play services and I was thinking that that was the reason of wakelock *net_scheduler*, but it isn't, because I flashed new ROM with all services enabled but *net_scheduler* is draining my battery again. Its strange that is showing it randomly, I mean some day I don't have that wakelock and the next day I have it. Really strange.
If anyone knows more about it please answer.
Hey,
I have the same issue. Since the last GPS update wont even last a day. I found also that the GPS are responsible and in my case its also the *net_scheduler* service. It is pretty active. I already tried a few things from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
But so far nothing helped. It drains the battery really fast, yesterday my battery went from 50% to 30% in 20 min. That sucks.
If someone found a fix please post it here
Tried uninstalling google play services update, everything fine. Then updated it via play store and within a few minutes of update noticed phone was getting hot and laggy again. Same issue, something is going on with google play services causing massive wakelocks and high cpu usage. Currently at 1.4 million net_scheduler wakelocks in past 18 hours. Had to recharge twice even though phone barely used.
For no obvious reason, since yesterday I don't appear to be having the problem with Google Play Services any more. I haven't done anything to the phone, I am in the same location, nothing has changed on my end as far as I know unless I have inadvertently done or not done something that I normally do or don't do. In any case the problem appears to have gone away, or maybe it is just dormant waiting to drain my battery when I least expect it...
Something broken on the Google servers that they have now fixed?
Yep its fixed itself, there was an update on 18th June. The version with problems was 7.5.71 now its 7.5.74
Used my phone without google play services for a day and it actually doesn't affect much. You can still use play store, chrome but most other google apps won't work. Snaptube can be used as youtube replacement. If you can live without hangouts,gmail etc I'd recommend just removing it completely, save any future headaches.
Hmmm... I still have Google Play Services 7.5.71. Strangely Google Play Store says it has no connection, even though I am on wifi and other apps can connect fine. Maybe that's why it hasn't been able to hammer my battery?
What is the relationship, if any, between GP Services and GP Store?

I got the no connection on play store after clearing google framework cache. Had to reboot phone to fix it. Could be why the issue has stopped for you as I noticed it did too after clearing framework at first.
Completely uninstall google play services, it will reset to factory default. Re-enable it and launch a google app such as youtube. It will prompt you to update and bring you to google play services page on play store where latest version will be downloaded.
Google Play Services updated itself over the weekend to 7.5.74, lets hope this one fixes the battery drain for me. I never get any option to update or not, the only reason I know it updated is because I have an app that automatically backup up any app that gets installed, so I can revert to the previous version if an update causes problems. I did try reverting GPS but installation of the previous version failed.
Anyway, is there any way to stop Google services updating automatically? I can't find anything in the settings. I have Play Store set not to update automatically but that doesn't seem to make any difference. When google play services updates I don't get redirected to the Play store, it just installs the update without asking me.
Follow these hints next time.
Anyone else still having this issue? It's issuing a lot of wakelocks for me (Marshmallow/TouchWiz Note 4)

Yep same for me (TW MM Note 4). Amplify shows *net_scheduler* to be by far biggest wakelock, which is what brought me to this thread. Google Play Services now at at v9.4.52. Hmmm.
wakelock
it is google play services which drains battery very drasticly

Started happening to me yesterday - battery was great until this
Hello all,
I recently flashed CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S5 and I've been trying to stop Google Play Services eating my battery. I've got Xposed and Amplify installed and I followed this guide
At 75% battery, Google Play has used 7%, Android OS 5%, Android System 2%. Compare this to my sisters phone, which is a HTC One M8, running Marshmallow Google Play Edition, Play services accounts for around 1% over a full charge.
I noticed that Google Play is constantly checking my location, I had the problem running both stock ROM and CyanogenMod. I don't use Google now and I've got Location History turned off. I've even set location to GPS only, but somehow Google still constantly checks my coarse location. I've disabled everything I can think of that might use my location, even auto time zone. Wifi and bluetooth scanning are both turned off. Initially I had a fresh install of CyanogenMod, Pico Gapps (Play Services and Play Store only), no Google account, but Play Services was still checking my location constantly. Using Amplify I've also disabled any services with "location" or "GPS" in the title.
According to Wake Lock Detector, my battery stats are pretty good. At 75% battery, Play Services has kept my phone awake for only 1 minute and 2 seconds. Awake time is usually around 2%, until I use Endomondo.
Any ideas where my battery power is going and how can I stop Google checking my location all the time?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
the google play services has the most percentage of my Akku usage. It's always about 20-30% and the os itself is about 5% on the 2nd place.
So is there a way to reduce the amount of Akku usage?? I couldn't remember that it was that much in the past, so something must happend to it (maybe an auto update??)
Would be great if there is a way to reduce it (i'm on unoffical cm13 android 6.0.1)
The only google things i need are:
Store,
Maps,
device locator,
Mail/calender/contacts
I don't care about the launcher, or voice search or things like that, so if there is a way to remove play services while using store, maps,... it would be fine to me.
