But that is a google app not problem of sony (and is reported for a lot of devices)..... turn off location services from google apps, google's location services (both in settings > location services), contacts sync from google (in settings > accounts > google) and should be better

there are other two-three apps that appears like Google Play Services in battery stats, so look for the one causing it... also.. mobile data? wifi? there's a lot of speculation about GPlayServices, sometimes turning off reboot and turning on solves problem, is weird actually
and again, is google's fault, not sony xD, after some days dissapear for me...
Its media server draining most, other normalised anyone fix, custom rom ?
I think I might be of some help.
I believe you're having the same problem I did when I bought the phone.The 4.1.2 firmware has a very bad stand-by drain problem because of that eco controller or something like that.I tried to find the solution for a month or two before I gave up.But then the 4.3 update came around and it fixed the bug right up for me.Now the problem with 4.3 is that it has one or two visual bugs but none that break the rom.So, I would suggest that you upgrade to 4.3 IMMEDIATELY and if you have a custom recovery then install ExistenZ 4.0 which I am on right now.It has fixed 99% of the bugs from the stock 4.3 and also has awesome battery life just like the stock 4.3.
I hope you fix your problem.Good Luck !
Also
CHECK IT BHOY:
I lost only 2 percent in the 5 hour standby.All the rest is screen time.
EDIT:I highly doubt mediaserver actually drains the battery that much.I mean, look at my mediaserver drain.I still get awesome standby and screen on time on a single charge.
2% percent down in 13m
really...
EDIT
94% pls help

If the problem still persists in 4.3 then I guess the only thing left to do is to turn off location services and use wakelock detector to see what causing the extreme battery drain.

Try another SD card (or depure media files, I mean, clean it a little)... and use Wackelock Detector/Better batery stats to see what's causing...

What he said...
Without one of those apps, we really can't know what's causing your battery to drain.
Custom room problem persists, could it be because I don't have sim?

HOWTO enable swap
First you need a terminal emulator this can be downloaded for free in the android market.
You can use cd to change directory and ls to show all folders and files.
Navigate to the place where the swapfile is located (mmcard) and type swapon swapfile.
reboot
Turn off locks screen when holding red call button

Press the right soft button.
It does same as end button (no sleep, just shutdown options)
Also, which hw keyboard layout to choose, to have numbers like shown on HW KB? I cant type numbers because they are at random position.

I also get this issue.
Seems that the first time you download something, it wont work, it will get stuck on "Starting Download", and it doesn't come up in the notifications.
Just restart the phone and boot android again then second or third time it will eventually work.
This also happens if you press install then your 3G connection drops out (went through a tunnel) and even when u get a siginal again, it just sits there on "Starting" so you have to cancel it and start it again.
But with the one via WiFi and browsing the market and everything else works, just restart the phone and boot android again, and it should automatically start the download. If not, just go back into the marketplace then go to the "Downloads" section and start it again.
Its a bit annoying.

The new release is very nice, slick and stable. My major problem is the same, backlight can't be turned off and thus battery used up quickly. Hope this can be fixed soon.
Another related problem is the battery seems not charged under Android, I charged it overnight, quick get warning of low battery just after using it for 10 min.
Even so, still a very good job, thank you.

battery charge sensor doesn't work properly in xperia android, so just because android is reporting low battery doesn't mean your battery is actually low

4. go to conf/ and delete eclair.user.conf, then rename eclair.user.conf~ to eclair.user.conf. That will disable the swapfile.

I actually did this, so i got to recopy the files over, and then wait for the swap file to be created?
When I'm using a swap file, it get faster right?
swapfile makes android slower, but it increases available memory

can someone please tell me what it says in the blue box displayed in the picture - ive been on 3 computers but i still cant manage to read it

I have asked this twice in the beginner thread, but no one seems to have a solution for this. I've tried multiple apps like ad block plus, air push detector, different virus scanners and spyware scanners. Deleting unpopular apps and tried fixing it with settings.
These kind of ads are on top of everything, so when i get a phone call i have to click the add away (small X somewhere) before i can answer. Very frustrating!
example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
this specific ad has no X so i have to tap 'no thanks' and that opens the browser with a sketchy site called mobifun or something
long pressing the ad also does nothing
How can i get rid of it?

you should only backup your personal/media files (pictures, video, songs etc etc..) and start over from a fresh install. Restoring /data from a nandroid backup could also restore the malware if your issue is caused by this.

use this as a taskmgr, it shows all processes. And if you don't find anything, just go for a factory reset. Save all of your photos/music/documents/videos etc. to your PC. But don't backup your apps because one of them might have poisoned the phone.

Im not finding anything suspicious but i do see a lot of things that i dont know what it is
but if i theoretically delete all apps will that also delete the malware?

don't just uninstall something you don't know what it is. If someone could know what app caused this ad, it's you. You know what app you last installed before the ad started to show up. So if uninstalling that app doesn't help, there is no other option than either search through your entire device or make a factory reset
factory reset is not that scary, just backup your media files and then reset the phone. Restore media files, re-install your apps (legit apps only) and you are done. Fast and easy. :good:
Hello!
I'm a happy new Nexus 6 owner.
Since 5.1, it's possible to use voice commands to turn on/off WiFi, bluetooth, and flashlight.
I have a problem. Bluetooth and flashlight work here perfectly with voice commands, but I NEVER can turn on/off WiFi. Any idea?
Thank you very much!

Hey, good news, @simms22!
Everything is fine now. And I did NOT reset the phone.
Based on YOUR tip, I opened Google App in Settings > Apps and selected "Manage Space". Then: "Clear Google Search Data" + "Clear Launcher Data" + "Clear All Data", just to be sure.
After this, my home screen was reset. I organized it all again. And then... BANG! I turn on/off WiFi too!
Even better: until now, that battery drain is gone! I can't believe!
The app version is still different. Very strange. But all is working fine. That's waht matters.
So, thank you very much for your attention, for the time you spent with me. Have a nice day.

I had this option turned on and was using it just a few hours ago. After restarting my phone, OK Google no longer works from anywhere except the Google app and the option in the settings is completely gone. Does anybody have any idea what may have caused the option to go away?
Same issue with me and its annoying.

Same here, but I just bought it 12 hours ago. Been trying to make it work since.

Whoops, just realized this is in the T-Mobile forum. I've got an AT&T Edge, same problem.
I found a work around with using the Nova Launcher. There is an okay Google option as you'll see with the attachment that works for me on any screen that I'm on. You have to have the premium version I think not sure about that but anyways for what it's worth
I believe it may have something to do with new Google play services that was just pushed. Option was enabled, but, when updated GPS to 7.3.28, function stopped and option disappeared.
Same here
Since Friday evening I've been going through every single setting on my S6 Edge. I had the phone since April 4th, where I had ok google everywhere, but not "trusted voice" in the Smart Lock settings. I restored my phone 2 times now, thinking the first restore got rid of Ok Google Everywhere. I now see others are having the same issue which is great!
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but check the version of Google Play Services. Last week Android Police posted an article about 7.3.27 and I saw their caution that you need to make sure you grab the right version for your device -- http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/ details how to decipher the salient version into. On my stock S6, I have -440 so I didn't update. Now, today, I see I've got 7.3.28 (1863718-440) -- It seems the 440 is an important part. So, I'm more current than the version in the Android Police article I cited and I have Trusted Voice and OK Google everywhere.

I just downloaded 7.3.28 (-440) and still do not have access to Ok Google Everywhere, also Trust Voice is still "off" no matter what.
another setting also vanished.
Lost OK Google from any screen yesterday. Checked settings and the only option is "From Google App". No any screen and no Trusted voice settings. ALSO noticed another setting that vanished. In phone settings the option to "turn off screen during calls" is gone. Now during phone calls my screen turns off, which I really don't want and I can't find a setting to uncheck it.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
Ok so play services at the top and ive been freaking out all day doing all sorts and nothing is working the mAh just keeps increasing by the minute. Display was number to and i didn't look at anything else but just now whatsapp jumped to number 2.
After looking at Google Services the mobile radio active was 52 minutes....the exact same as whatsapp!! Is this just a coincidence or am i on to something.
This bug had been there in android since lollypop. Google doesn't want to fix it for some reason, and no dirty fix ever worked properly. The workaround is, use WiFi. My phone would've given twice battery life if this **** wasn't there.

Ugh that is disheartening. Play services is at the core of the phone a lot relies on it to work properly.

Install Better Battery Stats and have a look at the "sensors" tab. There are a lot of Services sensor wakelocks and the worst was the adaptive brightness causing proximity and light sensor wakelocks which caused 19%drain in 3 hours. Turning off adaptive brightness solved this for me but it was excessive sensor drain. This was with pocket mode turned off too.

Install Better Battery Stats and have a look at the "sensors" tab. There are a lot of Services sensor wakelocks and the worst was the adaptive brightness causing proximity and light sensor wakelocks which caused 19%drain in 3 hours. Turning off adaptive brightness solved this for me but it was excessive sensor drain. This was with pocket mode turned off too.

I haven't asked for help though that's the thing lol so fu. I am stating there seems to be a connection between whatsapp and play services on my device that causes excessive drain.
To anyone else, is it really a bug with play services? It just seems like whatsapp is battery hog and they need to sort it out. No wonder iMessage is a thing.
Could that be syncing your WhatsApp to Google drive?

I thought that too it does seem to sync way too much even though i hardly ever update my contacts, i turned it off and the drain didn't stop. I updated Play services with the latest beta of apkmirror and after a reboot and a charge so far so good.
Ahhhh i figured it out, thanks to the guy earlier who mentioned checking sensors in bbs i never go to the sensors section. Google fit was using the step counter. I didnt think that was it because i froze google fit to eliminate that as the problem and it didn't help, it seems the tracking feature remained active.
Warning to all don't track your steps because the rape was unreal in 1 day it had used the same battery as 6 hours sot which is just absolutely unnaceptable.
Turns out the problem was only partly fixed and whatsapp is to blame. I wish we had xposed for nougat so we could greenify whatsapp and still get messages.
Try this work around
If ur custom rom supports Privacy app, well and good. Then head to the settings --> Privacy. Click on the right hand side menu and choose advanced. Now see the Google play services will be eating ur battery by holding its hand on GPS, WIFI and mainly on wake lock. I disabled all these and now battery is good to go. Also all the apps which rely on location they tend to act weirdly hanging at ur last known location. Just come back here and enable the Google play services to access GPS.

Hey buddy... Check if your rom has privacy option in the settings menu like In the screenshot. Then disable the location hoggers like Google play services. You can even disable the keep awake option as shown

Thanks mate, done!
Let's see how it goes now, thanks for sharing
For me it was Google Keep. After deleting it i can reach easily 4-5 SoC + 24h standby.
Can someone help me and tell me if this normal
In gsam battery monitor in sensor tab google play service is the most usage of sensor i think because of location
But whatsapp use 6 hours of sensor it is normal?
Is playservice and whatsapp usage of sensors normal?

Got the same issue.. Did you manage to find a fix?
I doubt it's a bug. Do u have location on, are you heavy user of whatsapp?
