Anyone else seeing high battery drain from Google Play Services? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My HD is running CM11 M12. I leave it on almost all the time and when used, it is primarily to read books for surf the net. Until recently I haven't had to charge it more than every 4 or 5 days. Tried to fire it up the other day and the battery was so low I couldn't. Charged it up and got it fired up. Since then I have experienced very fast battery drain and the main user is Google Play Services. It was 100% charged when I unplugged it last night. This morning the charge was 97% so about 3% drain in 8 hours. Now, 3 1/2 hours later the battery is down to 68%. It was been on (i.e., in use) maybe 30 minutes today. Google Play Services shows 31% of the usage, followed by Facebook with 14% and Android System at 11%. The Google Play Services details show 44 min CPU and over 10 hours of "keep awake" even though it was asleep for at least 9 (and probably 10) hours since the last full charge. It is version 8.4.89 (2428711-034).

My Google Play Services shows ~7% of battery usage.
FWIW, I turn off WiFi when not using the tablet, and have "Keep WiFi on when asleep" set to "Never".

Strangely it returned to normal behavior without me doing anything. I am 2 1/2 days since the last charge and still at 71%. Google Play Service has only used 4%. Weird.

Battery taking a nose dive since 4.4.2?

Not sure whats going on but the battery on my Note 3 is horrible since the update. I fully charge it and 1 hr later (not even using it) I've lost 5-10%. It barely last the whole day now. I've even wiped the device and it continues to happen. Doing a quick test right now, fully charged its been off the battery for 20 mins and I'm showing 27% usage on the Android System, 10% on the Android OS and 15% of the screen and its down to 97% already.
Any ideas?

things to try: (no this isnt a 'disable anything useful like email and google plus' post )
1. camera - there is some well documented issue, if you open the camera app, there is some kind of battery drain going on. google it, there is tons of reading material for it. temp fix is reset.
2. I have noticed google now makes my battery life do what yours does, drop 10% easy in an hour of it being completely idle. open the app, disable google now, and then see what is going on. i hate disabling anything but its worked for me.

Thanks after a second reset it seems much better. Maybe it was one of my Apps? For now I'll just install them 1 at a time.

Same thing happened to mine. Went to bed at 95%, killed all apps, empty ram, turn off data but left wifi on. Woke up 8 hours later and it was down to 17%. Unprecedented 10% hour drain. Usuallly it drains 3 -5 percent overnight. Same thing happened to wife's phone and she is on Sprint but she left wifi and data on. Uninstalled Google camera and Skype and notice it went away. Testing it again tonight.
Edit: Test it again last night. 4% drop in 8 hours. Woke up to 96% this morning. Hopefully that fixed the problem.
Update: Went to bed at 11:30 at 68% and woke up 7 hours later and battery is still showing 68%! Surf the web for 5 minutes before battery drop to 67%. Amazing standby battery drain. I had turn off wifi, bluetooth, and data before going to bed and killed all the apps. Usually this will cause a .5%/hour drain but it barely drain .5% in 7 hours this time!

[Q] Droid turbo battery problems?

Hello - first of all, forgive me. I'm sure I'm not going to initially give you everything you need for troubleshooting my issue. Please let me know what you need from me.
My issue: I think something in my software/configuration is hurting battery life. I recently bought a droid turbo to replace my s3. My s3 battery was not lasting long and I had very high awake times (I think).
Today from native android battery stats:
14h 48m 11s on battery - 42% remaining
stats:
screen 23% - 1hr 44 m 46s
cell standby 14h 48m 39s, time without 4%
Google play services 11%, cpu 23m, keep awake 1h 42m 46s, GPS 20m 7s
wifi 14h 50m 25s
android system 1h 5m 16s, cpu foreground 1m 24s, keep awake 8m 58s
android os, 8%, cpu 41m 47s, keep awake 1h 55m 10s.
It's the high awake time on googe play services and android OS that leave me scratching my head.
I started with a fresh droid turbo, then reinstalled all my apps via play store. Do any of these numbers look odd?

Almost every time I read "Google Services" and the word "battery", you should first check your location settings in your phone and also in you Google Settings, because most of the time those are the culprit for large battery drains.
:highfive:
Same problem here

Among a few other issues, I had this same problem although, I was lucky to make it to 14 hours without just leaving it sitting on a table with everything disabled. I tried to factory reset but ultimately returned it to wait on the N6 I ordered.

Reading a lot of reviews about the N6, it seems that N6 has really serious battery issues, so let's hope that those will be fixed through software or something.
:crying:
As long as I can get through my day without having to charge my phone I am happy.
Check out this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/battery-life-help-troubleshoot-battery-t2785128
It's a Nexus 5 thread and obviously with no root on the Turbo you have no xPosed or Gsam root companion but the Google location services is still relevant.

Battery Drain

In the general thread, seems like everyone is getting great battery life but my friend and I have had okay battery (him not so much). I don't call or text much but I do check FB/instagram/email on the hour each hour. All notifications are set to manual since I check it regularly and location is off. The only thing I do is stream a music app called MelOn and I have bluetooth on for my moto360. I am at 62% with 1 hr 12 min screen on time, unplugged for about 6 hours, streaming music for the last 4 of those hours. Music and FB are my top 2 drainers. I'm not upset about it but I'm not impressed either. To get me through the evening, I have to charge it right before I leave the office so I'm waiting on my 4500mah battery from china to come in (set for delivery today and will review it after a few days). My friend, on the other hand has notifications set to every 2 hours or whatnot, doesn't stream content, no calls, occasional texting, location off, and is has about the same battery drain as me. His top drainer is com.sec.imsservice which I've read is wifi calling but he doesn't have that option turned on nor is he on wifi (full bars and lte at his location). Yesterday, he had location services on and all push notifications on and within 7 hours, it was down to 22%. Battery doctor says it accounts for over 50% of his battery usage and he is unable to disable/kill it. What could be causing this and what can he do about it.
Thanks in advance!
I'm seeing the same culprit as your friend — every couple weeks or so, com.sec.imsservice hangs consuming ~25% of the CPU (in other words, an entire core — which is enough of a power draw to continue to drain the battery even when plugged into a by-the-spec USB2 port (5V, 500mA)) while Wi-Fi Calling is listed in the Call settings grayed out, perpetually "Enabling;" I can't even force-stop the process, I have to reboot the phone to clear it up (which takes forever "upgrading" 69 apps, and uses roughly 7% of the battery in the process). Of course, I do have Wi-Fi Calling enabled, but with "Cellular Network Preferred" selected — it's another thing entirely not to have the feature enabled at all; hopefully they'll have this bug squashed in Lollipop.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Google Pixel 2's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Stand by amazing like international s2 amazing when the phone locks and goes to sleep even with all the listening it's doing this thing is solid ur at 5 percent and u lock ur phone u can guarantee that it won't move for a few hours
Went to be with 93% woke up 7 hours later with 93%.
Night 1, went from 55% to 47% in 8 hours. Hoping this is an anomaly and it gets better tonight. It's not terrible, but not great either, and not consistent with other reports I've heard.
Mine is average 7-10% overnight drain. Have had the phone for 3 nights. Will continue monitoring

Do you have auto sync disabled or something?

Nope, everything enabled.
I noticed when my phone was not fully charged , around 94 percent , I lost 8 percent overnight . Gonna do a full charge tonight and see if another drain happens
From 11pm to 7am overnight the battery dropped from 90% to 80%
I tried with and without ambient for my standby average.
Without ambient it took 4% for 8 hours
With ambient it took 5% for 8 hours

I am a very light phone user, I went to bed at 100%, woke up at 100% , just now reached 90%!
I'm averaging a little over 1% / hour drain overnight. Looking at GSAM battery monitor, there's a small spike in battery usage at regular intervals. This even happened in safe mode.
So in other words, it doesn't hold charge during standby any better than other phones in this segment. My Honor 8 will only drop 3-5% overnight and it has numerous accounts set to auto-sync.

I tried Greenify and drain went down to about 0.4% / hour overnight. I'm not sure if the difference is Greenify or turning off Always on Display.
See my Screenshots below. That's what I am expecting from a standby behavior. When I'm done using my phone, there is almost no drain over a long period of time (like over night or during work).
How did i achieved this? I've disabled for certain apps the background app refresh, like on the battery consuming app Facebook - app keeps updating your timeline. ...or Whatsapp - app keeps downloading photos and text messages in the background...
All other pixel related features like always on display or playing now are still enabled. Expect OK Google, I prefer the active Edge activation.
I have also the newest official Software update installed with display color fix, (working) NFC buzz fix and November security patch. Build OPD1.170816.025
Always plug in over night, but in morning when I unplug, minor use for 3-4 hours still says 100%. NEVER got this good on my Pixel 1 or Nexus 6p. I have several push email accounts and background news, but ZERO social media apps loaded.

Same here and i was worry about the small battery in this phine but it seems it's better than what i expected.
100% at 11pm Las night woke up at 7:30am so 8 and a half hours later at 100%. Didn't even know that was possible. (No always on display of course)
Bug in battery usage stats
Just noticed an hour and a half after I unplugged my phone that the phone showed "13 min since last full charge" and the phone showed "100% battery life", thought it didn't make sense as already had about 20+ minutes of screen on time and was using Bluetooth. I restarted my phone and found the battery was at 98% then within a few minutes drained to 95%, but when I restarted it the battery stats showed "last full charge 0 minutes ago".
I'd guess if your batter is showing 100% after a few hours of use, the battery is miscalibrated rather than having super low drain.

Battery Issues

Hi All
I bought Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and set it up, but the battery drain so fast. I left my phone to sleep with wifi on throughout my sleep it drains 10% with just pushing notifications from FB, like everytime I will get FB Notifications and not open it it will drain 1% of the battery.
Remove fb and see magic
U just answered to your question. It's not the phone, it's just crappy facebook app.
Facebook Lite is the way to go if you need FB, I think - normal version eats battery a lot, and I'm not sure if that will be fixed at all - seems like they don't care.
If you have to use Facebook, use Facebook lite or alternative apps like Friendly.
Hi, I got Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and started using it today. Initially with the battery percentage came with package, battery draining was slow. After doing first charging from 21% to 100%, battery is draining too fast. It is common for some batteries and takes some charging cycles to get battery optimized. If battery draining is happening too fast even after 3 to 5 charging cycles then there would be some fault with battery.

I got my phone day before yesterday & its now running Android 8.1 with the May security patch. Since the time of use, I've charged my phone only twice & both times charged it up to 100%. I feel the batter is draining. Please have a look at the screenshots and let me know if the battery consumption is fine or its draining fast. The battery dropped by 1% in 4 mins of the phone being idle with the display closed. Also the stock camera app is consuming a lot of battery.
I can confirm a very hard drain, too. No way to reach 7-10 hours of usage.
i'm getting about 5-5.5 hours of sot with moderate usage... Checked the app usage..where it shows PUBG used 12% battery in 38 min, 45 min of youtube drain 8% 26min Instagram drain 5%...I don't use fb much on phone when needed i mainly use fb lite... .i don't use auto brightness. so my brightness level is always 45%.. in overnight( well it's like 5-6 hours) battery percentage dropped 4%.. Wifi is always on and GPS is always on high accuracy.. in power saver 19 apps are allowed for background activity...
Battery drain
I just purchased my phone yesterday and used it for some time. I put it on charging at around 20% and didn't use it until full charge. After it got completely charged and then I just used it for few mins it went down 100% to 95% very fast; later after few mins I started suffering net and did misc stuff for about an hour it went down to 85%. Next morning I saw the battery % was 81%. Is this normal? I mean how can it last for 2 day as the company claimed. Aslo I am android 8.1.0

This has been a comman issue with Nokia 7 plus, including me. My battery had high discharge rates in both Oreo and Pie. However, post March security update, I am seeing some good battery life. I would also suggest to update to Pie and update Device Health from Play Store. Hope it works out for you.
try letting the battery drain to 0% then charging it to 100
TA1062 with build 00WW_3_51F here.
Before the march update, the phone could last for almost 2 days with moderate usage.
After the march update, I barely have 5 hours of standby time, and like 2 hour of usage time. This is crazy ! Not heating, but also randomly shuts down while it says like 65% remaining battery. I haven't changed anything else !!!
Does anyone have any idea how to improve this ?
