Ever since I've updated to the 5.1 firmware I have been getting large amounts of battery drain from Google Play services. on my wife's phone it is getting the same results. I have one phone running xposed with GB and one that is not. both of them are the pure edition
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes! Not only play services but every app using internet. Look at your "mobile radio active" duration. This bug has been lurking around since past 6 months and apparently google is not doing anything about it.

I was looking at this app and had a couple questions for anyone who has been using it on their HTC One.
1. I'm wondering what it does that Google Now won't do, and what Google Now will do that Dragon won't.
2. I'm also wondering about the battery drain. I know there was an 8/13/13 update. Just trying to get an idea of how bad any current battery drain is, or if it's nothing particularly significant.
Thank you.
Figured I would start a thread for our newly updated Asus tablets. I updated mine this morning before work. I haven't had much time to play with it. How is everyone liking it so far? Seem snappier? Anyone notice any new features? I'm hoping the random reboots will be fixed. This tablet is already great! Hopefully it just got better.

It's possible to assign allowed apps to additional users. There is a option to search wifi, when it's off.
During this upgrade, the PSU of dock and tablet has been updated.
Camera was updated. You can now use the volume rocker to snap pics too.

Since the new Update, it works a lot smoother, the dock is now always docked and didnt lose the connection to the tab.
But i had to do a full wipe, cause the launcher had some bugs, he crashed everytime i tried to get a widget to the homescreen.
AND i think the batt lives longer as before without energy saving mode.
My battery life is outstanding on 4.3
They also changed the stock file manager

I have more free RAM now. Earlier I had 1200MB used, now I have 950MB.

Does the OTA fix the bad connector on the tablet itself? As in if you wiggle the connector on the tablet while connected to the computer, does it still disconnect?
Seems a bit snappier to me but I was hoping it would make some games run smoother like my hp slate book but it's the same unfortunately. Stuttering still present in games and rotation animation. Might not bother you though. Overall it's a welcome update.
As far as reboot I haven't seen it yet since I updated but maybe has not been long enough to to know.

still gets hot quickly?
-battery percentage now on the top bar if you choose it (in settings->battery)
-dock connected now only has one symbol on the top bar (instead of 2)
-permanent notification about the sd card on the top bar gone
the positive things i found so far about 4.3
Is anyone else seeing Google Play Services going crazy with the 4.3 update? According to Better Battery Stats, my tablet is not able to get into deep sleep at all since the update and the battery information is pointing to Google Play Services as the biggest culprit. I don't have root on this device yet, so I don't have as much information as I'd like. I'm wondering if a factory reset would improve the situation? I'm getting a new tablet on exchange from Amazon tomorrow, so I will likely upgrade and then factory reset with that device to see if it makes a difference.

I would factory reset after upgrading anyway, same for flashing a Rom

Google Play Services draining the battery (more than usual) is probably not related to the 4.3 upgrade. Have a look at this article:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...lay-services-seems-to-be-a-battery-hog-today/
Has been widely reported on various devices (I had it on my Nexus 7 yesterday or the day before).
hey folks, is the random battery saving screen brightness flicker gone? like the random dimming

Thanks. I saw that story go by this morning. Hopefully it is resolved now.
Semi-related... Is it possible to disable a downloaded app versus uninstalling it? I see that I can disable (some) system applications that can't be uninstalled, but if there is an app that I want to disable for the short term I'm only seeing the uninstall option. If I had root, I would use Titanium Backup, but I haven't gone there yet because I'm waiting for my exchange from Amazon to arrive.
My android OS is about 32% today and about the same with my three other note 3 friends, rooted and non rooted. Anyone know what is causing it or if you have the same issue?
I'm just stock rooted.
Same issue here. It's very odd.

yeah, haven't installed any new apps either...
I have a Zerolemon 10,000mah battery, no issue here.
I'm seeing the drain here too but it's not hurting me too badly. Android OS is topping everything at 32% and has been since yesterday.
Seeing NipCollectorWakeLock as the number one partial wakelock on my system by a country mile.

you fixed it yet?
I tried the updated Google Play Services APK which is supposed to fix battery drain but it's still the top on my list. Can't say it's hurting me much though. 74% battery left after 12 hours (1 hour screen on time).

Its been uncheck since day one.
There's no fix yet. For me it's network /signal related. Outside at work the process is awake for about 4 hour /12 while at home on wifi most of the time is under 1 hour. Still on top of the list though.

Sorry, made a HUGE difference for me. I would continue to look at "location" stuff, notorious batt eaters.
Anyone know how to fix this?
hey guys i recently did the 4.4.2 update but notice that my battery from 100 to 96 on screen within 7mins of usage. i did a factory reset but still giving me the problem. i was wondering if anyone was able to fix their battery issue after the update.
One person claimed nova launcher caused that on kitkat

That is a very common issue with Kitkat on the ATT Note 3. Custom roms have helped it, but not much. I use to get about 2 days out of my phone. I switch batteries everyday now. I have the spare battery charging system.
So we can only wait for ether the bootloader to be unlocked or for ATT to fix it.
Unrooted and can only get 18-23 hours of charge after the Kit Kat update. Before I could do 2-3 days, easily!

A word to the wise, I wouldn't be mentioning KR around here. It is considered a taboo subject after what the creator did.
android core apps always used to show as the top battery culprit for me under 4.4.2 - the google search app with the cards ended up being the app i isolated for my issue and disabling it fixed my battery drain issue.
I have also read about a bug with the camera app - but I haven't consistently had that issue so I stopped restarting my phone after using the camera.
My battery life has also went down since the kitkat update. I am at 36% at 11hrs 39min and 3.5 hrs of screen time. That's not bad, but previously I would be around 50% around this time...

Whenever you charge your phone to 100% (after it got to at least 15%) unplug it and reboot right a way. That fixed the problem for me.
from the tip of my fangers...!
This helped with my note, and managing "power hungry" apps also made a big impact.

BBS shows this ever since Google play services updated. It doesn't come often but when it does it hits the battery like a pimp hits his working girls.

I'm on a Nexus 5 here and have had the same problem since moving to the 5.0+ Google Play Services. It seems to have simmered down now, but man the first few days were crazy. Not sure what it was doing, but I haven't seen it on BBS in the last two weeks.
Honestly it's like any GPS update... Battery takes a dive for a few days then levels out and goes back to normal. Some are worse than others. It happens to me every time it updates. I just go into app settings, clear all data, and reboot. Works every time. :good:
It's not as bad as initially but it's still creeping. Anyone know what it does?

Educated guess, but probably something to do with the latest Chromecast update, which added screen mirroring and allowing multiple devices to connect.
