I had the same problem with google play services, really frustrating. I disabled google location history and that seems to have pretty much fixed it.
Just as a heads up, I also don't have google now turned on (nor did I before), I wouldn't be surprised if that contributes to google play services battery drain.

I suppose. I do have google now on, but I've disabled location services.

You could always try to leave google now on and disable google location history for a day and see that fixes the issue. If not, you can try disabling google now the next day too. At least would help isolate the issue.
I think I found that even with location services disabled, play services was still a big drain (when location history was on). One would think that without location services, location history wouldn't drain the battery but idk.

A few things I did that really helped.
-switched to nova launcher instead of Google now launcher
-disabled anything to do with Google now in regards to location
-used gServicesFix in the play store
-disabled anything that I don't use which ran in the background. Version assist, s-health, etc

So Play Services has used about 7% of your battery in 4 hours & 17 minutes, how low should it be in that amount of time?

is it overheating, too?
mine has been like that too recently and has been scorching my freaking leg when it is in my pocket.

[Q] Battery State Graph on Notification Shade

When I got my Nexus 7 a few weeks ago I always intended to root it as soon as possible. I thought it best to leave it a while in case it died after a few days, since it would be simpler if I had to send it back.
I knew I would lose all my stuff when I unlocked it, so I just played around with different apps. I had it working with a graphic display showing battery charge details on the Pull-Down Notification Shade. The graph showed the charge state and history leading up to that time, and also prediction as to how long it would take to charge to 100% if on charge, and discharge time otherwise. I was unsure which app had created it or whether it was just a part of JellyBean itself.
This week I rooted (and backed out the 4.2 upgrade) with no problem. Trouble is though, that I have lost the Notification Screen Battery display and I can't find which app I need to get it back. I have a backup of the apps created with AppMonster Pro but none of them gets it back.
Can anyone advise me which app it may have been please.

Exactly right.
Thanks ever so much. - It's been driving me mad for days!
For future references, couldn't you go into Play Store -> My Apps -> All Apps and look for it there? Using the same account of course, that should work?
Yes, It was in there.
Together with the dozens of other apps I downloaded whilst I was playing with the Nexus.
On the App store, it doesn't always mention sufficient detail. Certainly not Notification shade displays.
I know it's not the fastest and most efficient way, but it helped me find the app in the past, and thought it may help you.
Usually you remember the app as soon as you see it (it does stay in your subconsciousness)

[Solved] Google Service wakelock too high

I don't know if this is normal but my phone has very high Google Service wakelock and my Phone Idle is nearly equal with my Screen On although the Screen On time is 2h42m
The Tablet Idle in my Nexus 7 is significantly lower than the Screen On even when I keep it for more than 3 days with light usage.
Below is some screenshots taken with Wakelock Detector and my battery stat:

Can someone shed me some light whether Google is messing up their services or my phone is behaving abnormally
Thanks for your help :laugh:
Make sure auto-sync is off. Reboot your phone and it should be fine.

OK, I will try that and report back later
UPDATE: I found the culprit that causes this wakelock. Basically it's the wifi bug that drop the connection when device go to sleep make this. When the wifi drop, the Gtalk service tries to contact the google server but cant and keep retrying, that's where the massive wakelock come from Google Service.
So while we wait for Google to provide a proper fix for this you can try this method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930. It works for me, the wakelock is gone
Make sure your phone is rooted
Remount /system as RW
Make a backup of file /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Edit the file /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Change the line "McastBcastFilter=3" to "McastBcastFilter=0"
Save the file and double check file permissions (-rw-r--r-- root root)
Reboot the phone

Getting bad battery life from maps?

I got the phone yesterday and rooted it.
I never even touched maps once and it used a lot of of my battery.
I might have used Google now and S voice once to try it out, maybe the maps is updating from that?
How can I stop this?

I think you just go into your maps go to settings and turn off the location services. It'll still be able to locate if you have it off.

You can also convert it to user app in Titanium Backup, and then greenify it.

more than likely its because your maps is tracking your location. for latitude or for location history. try disabling all those features within maps.
Thanks guys did the disable location thing

It might have something to do with Voice Typing. Try disabling Google Search from Keyboard Input Methods. Or try clearing the data of Android Keyboard.
I get the same issue.
Noticed it because my device got really hot and I saw all four cores constantly above 1,5 GHz (Galaxy S4).
If you look in Apps you will see that Google Keyboard is constantly starting dictionary service. Do not disable the keyboard because the device gets unusable due to Force Closes.
same problem
I have same problem with Google keyboard. Just now I restricted background data for wi-fi and mobile and I noticed that my phone cooled down very fast. I'will test it today and let you know what I found out.
Fixed problem with keyboard draining battery by restricting it's background data both on wi-fi and mobile. Before I got about 2h of SOT on full charge(100%-0%), and now I got 1h 45min SOT on 20%(100%-80%)
over 4gb.... I usually strict my data usage to certain mb. That way I don't have to worry about it. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

Removing google safty features

Hi... after being called an idiot about Safty Net issues, I decided to make a thread on disabling Google's background processes that effect rooting and future development.
I first started out detecting how much Google was playing with our devices since play store isses developed in early 2016. With every update of the play services and play store, along with framework. More and more background services were added and used to monitor how your device is configured and as of recent, being rooted or modified.
First I noticed how google forced performing security checks on apps during install, when before it was optional in security. Not only it was intrusive, it ate bandwidth.
So to cover some issues that I was having with my modified custom firmware, I set out to find and disable components that effect how my rooted and modified firware operates.
At this time, I am able to get 1hr for every 8% of battery consumed while doing activities. With no FCs and apps failing to install or update.
Google's forced security checks on apps and automatic system updates are disabled. 760 mb used average in memory. None of which use greenify or any battery saver/monitoring system, and above all no tasker or 3rd party tw replacement.
Here are my screen captures...

You need to edit your post so your images aren't 1x1 pixels.
It seems your urls that you tried to copy/paste wound up mangled and thus threw out 404 errors.
Thread closed - nothing coherent here, it seems.
