This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version
I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar

Google maps is killing my battery.
I am running 4.2.2 stock. I noticed this yesterday and killed the app, deleted its cache and data and never launched it, but today it's done the same! I do not use Google Now.
Anyway I can stop this?

Yep, Maps does that. How to stop it from draining? Uninstall maps.
you can disable it

I think a lot of google services (location) uses maps... Maybe even the new google now. Anyhow go into settings in google maps and turn all of the settings off, especially "location history". Make sure android's settings for location access is turned off. When you reboot, maps should run a lot less if ever. Hasn't come up for me since I did it this morning when I first read your message. No need to uninstall it (might get system errors).
You might loose a lot of services if you do it on a mobile device.
It does run a lot, but you can get more battery by having your screen turn off sooner or not as bright, even not using live wallpaper. I use maps and location services too much to consider turning it off.
Hope that helps some.
Good advice. Using Better Battery Stats, I traced a lot of apps which also cue up Maps. You think its only Maps, but some apps go there to find you & your location. Your basic battery use app will show only Maps as the culprit, but look closer & it's other apps asking it for your whereabouts! Facebook is one of the all time worst. It had so many other privacy issues I deleted my account. Google + & Google Now will also use battery thru Maps finding you. Turn off any apps location service via its individual settings if you want individual control. Or, just deny all of them via main settings.

Cheers guys. I have restricted a few of them now. Strangely my HTC one X does not have the same issues despite running similar apps.

Since updating to kit kat when I look in App Ops Android System and Google Services always has 'location' as 'running'.
I always have gps and wireless network location off though in app ops it's always showing those two as running.
What's the cause?

It is disabled. My point was that even though it's disabled android and Google is constantly looking for my location hence the battery drain by android os and Google services that people are always talking about.

Same here. I found annoying to see that. The Google play services for location is always running at the background although u have turned off all the location service from user interface.

Hey how did you solve this problem ?
Digging up old topic, but has anyone observed similar problem and found solution ever since?
I'm experiencing the same thing on Marshmallow, different phone though (Sony).
OK, so I am running Beanstalk, and want to stay that way... problem is that I keep getting the factory 4.4.3 update notification. I thought I would be a simple thing to just turn off the SystemUpdateService in Google Services Framework, but it was already disabled. Then I found the SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services and disabled it, problem then is the phone would not sleep.
It's not a huge deal, but is there a simple way to stop the update notifications yet not effect anything else? I remember in the Rezound we used to do a little edit to prop.build and all was well, anything like that here to make the Google Services think that the phone is already on 4.4.3 even when it isn't until the ROM can get updated?

Great news. Im on Beanstalk as well. I'll give it a shot. Did you blow through your data cap with the update repeatedly downloading? Article about it here

Settings --> Applications --> Google Play Services --> Uncheck "Notifications" option
You can stop only the upgrade notification with the app Autorun Manager

That's why I mentioned Autorun Manager. You can select the services individually with this app.
Hey guys,
I have this problem on my 2013 Moto x that since this morning it started talking like the accessibility settings were on and also putting an orange line in a Google search result page. I've checked the accessibility settings and talk back is off, also checked out other sound related settings without result. Restarting the phone doesn't help. Can anyone help me with this problem, cause it's not only really annoying but the talking also comes when the phone is silent (and yes, I did check Google now settings too) witch is even more annoying cause I can't have my phone on at work. Hopefully you can help me out.

Even if Talkback is off in the accessibility services, try turning it on and back off again to see if that helps. Sometimes there is a disconnect between the actual state and the displayed state. This sounds exactly like Talkback, from what you described.
Tried to do that, didn't work. Sorry I didn't mentioned it before.

This morning after 5 Playstore updates error Huawei home : icons needs to be set back to standard... Respring off launcher error again, same problem ... This loops.. managed to get in settings , clear the data off Huawei home... Same problem, clean cache, same problem... Managed to get in to play store installed now launcher... Problem solved for now... I had Facebook Facebook pages beta updates, Google now app beta update en WhatsApp beta update... No Huawei updates what so ever... Anyone an idea or the same problem?
I have the normal working original no root or bl unlocked EU mate 9 on b136.
You might have luck opening "Settings" --> "Apps" and taking a look at that list of apps (maybe you'll need to activate "Show System Processes" (or similar, I'm using my Mate 9 with german localisation), but I'd try with the non-system apps first, as that list is shorter).
I had the same problem you are describing and the reason was the app "Ford Service", which had a completely empty name in the settings list of installed apps. After I uninstalled that app the launcher stopped from constantly reloading.
Maybe you have an app with an empty or "problematic" name as well, which forces the EMUI launcher to crash.
Oke oke ...Will check it... But what is Ford service ?? How did u find out this was the problem

Coincidence or not I can tell you that the latest Facebook version was absolutely hammering my battery. It consumed 14% in just 1 hour while sitting idle. I was forced to uninstall it and I'm now using the desktop version via Hermit.
Funny enough now Facebook Messenger is going wild and I keep getting power-intensive notifications. I have to wonder what the heck is going on in the background...

"Ford Service" is an app for Ford drivers (containing information about local and general service phone numbers etc.). I suspected that you have another app installed, which might have the same problem.
Are you using the EMUI launcher with or without the activated app drawer? In my case (with the "Ford Service" app installed) the launcher only crashed when the app drawer was activated. Deactivating the app drawer stopped the launcher from crashing.
EDIT: Added a screenshot, which shows the app with the "empty name". As long as I had that app installed, the EMUI launcher kept crashing the way you described, as long as the app drawer was activated.
I using the app drawer... But no Ford service.
Indeed... All fb apps are going wild today...
I uninstall now all fb apps... See what's happening
Deleted fb FB messenger and pages manager ... All oke now... Default Huawei launcher working like normal

Guys, im having trouble with my app drawer too, no icons appear! I searched the Huawei Home apk but i didnt find the 6.3.47 which is the version the Mate 9 has. I will try uninstalling Facebook and Messenger and see what happens.
EDIT: The issue is still there. I really dont know whats the deal with this.
