I noticed that location services causes a lot of my battery drain, as my idle battery usage after disabling it was much lower. Is there anyway to fix this? I thought google play update 4.1.10 fixed this?

Yeah, my Google Play Update fixed the location services drain...personally, my pet peeve with battery life is mostly due to the Sense UI using a lot of juice when I read articles on Blinkfeed. Do you have the same issue as well? Seems like even when I'm gaming, Sense still manages to be up there in terms of usage...

On my Galaxy Note 2 I do experience the same. Many wake locks and Maps in top of battery users. I did remove the updates for Maps and see if drain has gone.
Hello, I have problem with play battery drain. I actually googled alot and ussualy they say disable locations... Is there any better way for our HTC ONE?
Installed Play services 5 when it came out and that help substantially. Now I have Google Services eating 91% of my battery. Seems to get worse the lower my battery goes the faster it goes.
CPU Total 5h 1 min
Keep awake 4h 44m
Roughly 150KB of data used.
Battery at 67%. Abnormally little use today. My best so far has been 15h up time at 70% battery.
Includes:
Google contacts sync
Services Framework
Backup Transport
Account Manager
Play Services
Unchecked everything in the google account sync options. Shall see if it helps.
Any suggestions on this?
Turn off your location settings.
Sucks if you use your GPS or google now a lot, but it seems to be the only way to keep your battery at an acceptable level.

Never use my location for more than checking the weather. Ill give it a go.
Google services draining my battery after I upgraded to Marshmallow. What should I setting?
In my understanding, root is best way, otherwise you can not control your phone......
I am running 7.1.2 and a few weeks ago I noticed my battery usage during idle went up drastically to ~5%/hour, with the phone just idle, airplane mode, on wifi. No Facebook, no bad apps, just very minimal. So I installed Wakelock detector and I see my cpu is being kept awake by Google play services. Turning off BT/GPS etc didn't make a difference. I'm running LOS with the Blackbird kernel.
So now I'm a bit lost. I know Android is extremely inconsistent and things like this can happen for no reason. I have no clue how to tackle this except reformat/try a new Rom.
