[Q] Battery settings in 23.5.A.1.191 - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that the battery life got worse with the latest 23.5.A.1.191 update. With previous version I could leave the phone on desk overnight and the battery did not drop at all (flat line in the battery usage graph). Now with the Stamina comeback I can see a 10 to 15% drop overnight. Can you please share your ideas what settings I should look into to fix it? Thanks

Have u check your wakelock? Play services often do this idiot bug.

Yes, Play services was the app draining the battery, but I remembered that I installed Google Fit in the meantime. Additionally something got messed up with the location after the last update, so I did not see a detailed route but just a large circle on the map in Fit (maybe permissions for gps location?).
However uninstalling Google Fit fixed it. I woke up today and saw a flat line in the battery usage.

I leave data usage over night and , since I have this phone, my battery draining from Google Play services is abnormal. I only synd gmail, no other service, no other permission. I've used Gservicefix without any result. Does anybody know why?

There are lots of reasons why Google Play Services are eating your battery, try a few fixes yourself, check which version of Play Services you have installed , anything older than 9.4.52 needs replacing.
Remove your google account, wipe data for Play Services and Download manager, restart to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Restart phone, add account again.
There seems to be issues with fitness trackers and bluetooth, if you have bluetooth on all the time, see what happens if you turn it off?
I can recomend Greenify app that can make a difference in putting apps to sleep, it also helps you see which apps are awake and on.
Check in settings/developer options/running services to see what's on and using most memory, you might be surprised at what you find. To enable developer options go to settings/about phone - press on build 8 times, then you get a message that develper options are availabe in the settings menu.

the first couple of days after an update or a factory reset, google play services collects a lot of information. It should go back to normal after some days. Anyway, I can give you some suggestion to limit the battery drain:
- new Stamina is a rebrand of the normal battery saver. Don't keep it always on.
- if you want something reminding the old stamina, download Greenify, follow instruction for adb command to enable Aggressive Doze and enable Doze on the go. Take away optimization from battery advanced setting for apps you need push notification from (e.g. whatsapp)
- disable wifi scanning when wifi is off (search in settings wifi scanning, though the search button. If your language is different from English (US) and you don't find the setting, switch to English (US) to find it)
- restrict google play services background data when not in wifi
- in account/google disable the sync for whatever you don't strictly need (play newstands, g+, ...)
With this settings, I can get 5 hours sot in a couple of day of usage, and almost no battery drain over night.

Well, my daily use consist on:
- Traffic data always on
- watch clock when needed
- +-45min WhatsApp
- Some random search.
- Some rare use of torch
- Sync with Gmail(ONLY Gmail)
I only use wifi for updates and don't have any gps or bluetooth use...Battery last above 48h this way and google services hast half of time with radio antena on.

[Q] Google Play Services/Now Battery drain observations

So since the latest Google Play Services update, I have been suffering some serious battery drain issues. There are various mentions all around the internet and most point to the issue being 4.2.1, which, we aren't running.
I spent some time over the last few days trying to figure out what the issue is and have some observations. But, for some background, last few days I have been getting no more than 10 hours battery with no more than an hour or two screen time.
Google Play Services is listed as the biggest battery drainer with 49%, so I started looking into that.
First off, I noticed in battery stats that if Wifi is on, the device doesn't deep sleep, even though wifi is set to never on when sleeping, the wifi never turns off and the phone never deep sleeps.
First thing to try was turning off wifi, so, I turned off wifi, straight away, phone deep sleeps again.
Next I began messing with Google related things, first of all I "uninstall updates" on GPlayS, tested with Wifi on, great, no more battery drain, phone sleeps, BUT, phone keeps bugging me with notifications to update.
Next was to update, battery drain returns. So, disable Google Now in its own settings, battery drain remains when on Wifi, however, if I kill "Google Search" after disabling Google Now, the battery drain stops.
Various mention on the internet has attributed it to location history and location services in the "Google Settings" however I have had those disabled for a few days now and they seem not to be the issue in this case.
My conclusion so far is that the link between the latest GPlayS and Google Now is the real killer.
At present, I have Google Now disabled, and no battery drain, Wifi turns itself off as it should and the phone sleeps. This isn't a great solution since I use Google Now regularly.
I'm hoping that unless someone has come up with a realistic solution that doesn't involve disabling services, Google will release an update to fix the issue.
Currently without access to another device other than my N10, I'm unable to test whether this particular version of the issue is specific to the XZ or the GoogleNow/GPlayS versions.
My next test is to install Network Info from F-Droid and Better Battery stats, and see if I can attribute the thing preventing wifi from turning off during sleep, and hence the failure for the device to deep sleep, to a particular activity going on.
Further, I have already tested the GPlayS related services by disabling everything such as Calendar and Contact Sync, disabled all of books, movies, photo sync, disabled Google Plus, none of these had any effect on the issue, which all but rule them out of the equation.
Has anyone else got observations on this, is anyone else suffering the issue, or has anyone got a real solution?
I'm off on Holiday on Saturday and would really like to have access to Google Now back, but not have the battery drain that's going to kill my battery while roaming the streets of Rome without access to a charger.

I shut it off it was draining my battery!
I had the same problem.
And here's a solution for you: Factory data reset
After that there will be no problems with battery drain.

So the amount of battery drain has lowered significantly, but it is still there. I attached a screenshot from before the change and a screenshot from after.

NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock Discussion

Firstly, this is not another thread to complain about your horrible battery life due to Google Play Services. I'm tired of those (mostly on Reddit, but some here too. Either way, none of that here ). This is instead to try and find a root cause for it. "It's Google's fault" is not good enough for me, and if you truly care about your battery life it shouldn't be for you either. If all you're after is an easy way out to get your battery life back, then this thread is not for you. We're here to reach a solution where you can get location services and good battery life. I've done if before, on my Galaxy Nexus on 4.3, but it seems that something is wrong in KitKat. Let this be a place where we all dig deeper into this issue, perform tests, gather results, and then share and discuss them. Here's what I've got so far:
The wakelocks that cause this battery drain are NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock. Nlp stands for network location provider. As you may know, Android provides developers with two ways of gathering location information. One is through the GPS_PROVIDER, which uses the GPS, and the other is through NETWORK_PROVIDER, which uses cell towers and WiFi APs to get your position. According to their developer website[1] , NETWORK_PROVIDER uses less battery, is faster, but is less accurate. GPS uses more battery, takes longer, but is good if you want an accurate location. I'm assuming this particular wakelock uses NETWORK_PROVIDER.
I also did some digging using ROM Toolbox Pro's autostart manager. My guess was that Google Play Services must be triggered every time a certain intent is broadcasted, since nothing obvious is telling it to run. Turns out there are quite a few. 30, to be exact. However, many of them have to do with GCM and we don't really care about those. One of particular interest is one called com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingsUpdateReceiver. It listens for the intent android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED. The LocationManager API's documentation[2] tells us this:
Broadcast intent action when the configured location providers change. For use with isProviderEnabled(String). If you're interacting with the LOCATION_MODE API, use MODE_CHANGED_ACTION instead.
Click to expand...

I'd assume that this means when you change your location providers, such as enabling/disabling data, WiFi, GPS, etc.
However, location reporting only seems to use network location. If you're on KitKat, go to the location settings and choose device only. Then choose battery saving. It asks you to accept location reporting. Same thing when you choose high accuracy. What do both of those have in common? Network location. You can switch between those two as much as you want and it won't ask you to accept again. However, once you switch to device only and back it will ask you. This shows that it only uses network location.
I find that Google (Play) Services has 5% (+/- 1%) keep awake. Tested on both Nexus 5 running KRT16M and Galaxy Nexus running JWR66V. Both use a certain time of GPS, although that number is never increasing. I assume this is some sort of initial one-time lock. It can be disregarded.
One more thing I noticed is that this Google Play Services issue is much more prominent on KitKat. While they have happened before, often times a simple Play Store update would fix it. This time it seems to be location based. Guess what changed in KitKat? The way you deal with location settings. It may be that the way location settings are grouped in KitKat cause that intent to keep firing, and that in turn triggers something that eventually ends up being what you see as NlpWakeLock.
What I'm going to try next is disabling that intent receiver and then monitor that wakelock as well as if location reporting still works. Feel free to play around, and be sure to share your results.
To those who are suffering from these wakelocks, could you please share your settings? Such as what type of location mode you have (high accuracy, battery saving, device only), WiFi on or off, data on or off, signal strength, WiFi always scanning, Play Store and Play Services version, what device you have, Android build number, and what ROM/kernel you're using if you are using one? Any other info such as screenshots of battery screen, betterbatterystats, wakelock detectors, etc. will all be welcomed.
Here is the Reddit thread I created discussing the same issue: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1rvmlr/nlpwakelock_and_nlpcollectorwakelock_discussion/
I don't have this device, nor do I know if I'll be getting it, but I must say that I applaud your method.
Bravo!
I just turn location reporting off then select 'battery saving' setting & accept the request for reporting when it pops up. This allows you to use network location without logging. Google now & maps work fine although not quite as accurate. I just turn on gps if i need navigation. Never get more than 2% usage from play services & it's giving me a total kept awake time of about 28mins out of 12hrs of use with 3hrs screen on time.

If I disable the wifi and 3g, leave my phone on battery saving location, google location set to on, it is using wifi always scanning only and it didnt consume 1% battery in a whole night

I am experiencing this issue on my Nexus 5, as confirmed by betterbatterystats (NlpCollectorWakelock 5.5% awake time)
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 alpha
Build Number: KRT16S
Location Mode: High accuracy
Location Reporting: Off
WiFi On: Sometimes
Play Store Version: 4.4.22
Play Services Version: 4.0.34
This issue first appeared for me the other day. I noticed that my device was not appearing in the online Android Device Manager, nor the desktop version of the Play Store. To fix the ADM issue, I disabled remote wipe, cleared data for Play Services, reenabled remote wipe, and rebooted. To fix my device not appearing in the Play Store, I cleared data for the Play Store app. Both issues were thereafter resolved, but now I am experiencing the Network Location battery drain.
Is it possible the problem is related to requests from Android Device Manager? I was under the impression that location for that purpose was 'on demand' instead of logged, but what do I know.
Thanks for doing this! Others, please feel free to use my comment as a template, and post your own data.
So I was playing around with autostart, and I accidentally caused a bunch of FCs for Play Services. Ended up freezing/defrosting and then uninstalling updates then let it update itself, and I noticed this (may or may not have anything to do with what I did): Even though it wakelocks, it barely uses up any batter. I was in an area of 2-3 bar HSPA+, with sync on, location reporting on at high accuracy, etc. and it drained 1% per hour. Still kept phone awake ~5% of the time, but battery usage was significantly better over what I recorded to be 4.8%/hour from last Friday.
EDIT: The only other change I can think of making is temporarily freezing Cerberus. I'll have to look more into that. However, check which apps are requesting your location. The new location settings in KitKat make this simple enough. For me it's only Google Now and Google Play Services, and whatever app that happens to require GPS such as camera (geotagging) and maps.

So, how should I replicate this? I'm using the Xposed Module that dev posted in your Reddit post.

How do you do this exactly? If I turn location reporting off, then I can't select the battery saving method because it's greyed out. This also causes location based cards to stop working on Google Now and Maps can't locate me either.

Use Titanium Backup to FIRST backup Google Play Services. Then use it to uninstall GooglePlay Services. Then open Google Now or Maps, they will ask you install Google Play Services and take you to the app store.
If anything goes wrong, use Titanium to restore.
You need location toggled on. Go down to location services & click on Google Location Reporting. Select off for both settings. Then go back out & select battery saving mode & accept the terms.

Turns out that's exactly how I had set up after all, doh! Thank you.
I have actually been getting really decent battery life, noticeably better than my HTC One, with exactly similar usage patterns and same apps installed etc.
Also, Play Services is not the only app that uses this NlpWakeLock. Facebook also uses it & in my case has the highest time kept awake. I turned off location in chat & noticed that it is much better.

That's what I thought too. That could explain why some people have this issue more than others.

Have you tried the Xposed module that filters wake locks? I've been using it and the NLP counts have drastically dropped
No, not using xposed. I understand that wake locks must occur for accurate location services (otherwise what is doing the reporting). What shouldn't be there is the incredible battery drain. Wake locks don't necessarily mean battery drain. You could have a 1h wake lock and drain 1% battery, or a 5 min wake lock that keeps CPU on high frequency causing a 10% battery drain. I don't mind wake locks as long as battery isn't affected too much.

That was the point of this module. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.andro.wlt. Take a look and read the description. From my understanding, the location stuff still works--which for me has been the case. However, it stops the unnecessary wakelocks. I would like to believe my battery has improved.
Nice thread!!
I've changed my location settings and I'll report if it works!!!
Thanks!!!

[Q] Location always running

Hi fellows,
Whenever I look into AppOps, Location is ALWAYS running for Android System and Google Play Services.
It doesn't matter if GPS is on or off, neither running in Safe Mode helps - always running. If I force-kill Google Play Services then it stops running Location, but starts again as soon as any app triggers it (Maps or anything else). I'm using Location in 'device only' mode. To be honest for some reason I cannot select any other option.
I'm running my Z3c on Stock MM .575, rooted, manually debloated (maybe too hard?), with some Xposed modules. (Just to make it clear, I turned off every possible syncing, scanning, location reporting, location history, google now, what have you)
Is there a way to see what process/app triggers Location constantly? I know that probably factory reset is a good thing to try, but I'd rather like to avoid that I'm attaching some screens with battery stats and wakelocks. They were taken after a night, unplugged and idle. The battery drain is not a problem, GSam is also not reporting GPS usage. However it shows that the phone is 'active' quite often, two times even woke up from Doze. I don't know how that corresponds to the data from Wakelock Detector (attached as well).
Any ideas?

Google Play Services Battery Usage

If I don't restart my phone after charging overnight, Google Play Services eats more battery than anything else on the phone.
If I reboot it seems to stop as is slowly slips down the list, but with out a reboot it remains the heaviest user and my battery drains significantly quicker.
Is there any reason for this? I have turned off background data for the app, don't have location services or anything like that switched on... It seems like some process starts while the phone is charging that fails to stop when unplugged.
Hello.
Google service include "push" gmail/ contact synchronisation and over things. So that depend on what you use on your phone.
Google Backup quite often starts while the phone is plugged in.
Other services can call GPS to start, sometimes apps request location info that causes location services to fire up. I seem to have an ongoing issue with Google contacts, constantly starting, even though I don't have my Google account sync enabled and the address book is based on a CSV. file import.
Unlock developer options (settings\system\about phone\ press build number 8 times) and look in running services, see if there are some other apps running that may start it.
GPS battery drain has haunted every model and make of phone I've ever had.
How else are Google going to transfer your every button click, movement, location and (if some people are to be believed) voice recording back to their HQ?

Help,Google Play Services drain my battery

Hi guys
I don't know what to do anymore with these problem due to Google play services that consume my battery very fast.
So far I tried:
-uninstall updates and reinstall again Google play services via google play store
-freze some Google applications
-disable locations
-disable sync
-uninstall Google chrome and reinstall
-boot in the recovery and perform clear cache
-4 full resets of the phone
-flash again the stock firmware via Odin
After a few days this problem comes again and I Don t know what to do anymore.Is the first time when I have this problem,before note 8 I had S8 and the battery was awsome.
Sometimes if I restated the phone the problem goes away for a few hours...
What else should I try to fix this Google play services issue?
Are you sure it's the play store that draining your battery? Maybe It's one of your apps that causing the play store go haywire?
Google Play Services is the first battery drain.Every night,before to sleep I have to power off the phone for about 3min and after that on again and for about 24 hours no issue with play services...but now this trick is not working anymore....
Remove Google account, then clear data/cache on all the Google apps, then re-add the google account
Disable auto update of apps when connected to WiFi.

I've tried all the advices and the problem haven't gone.
In the last 4 days I flashed another stock firmware via Odin with the same results..Google play services starts to consume the battery as soon as I start the Wi-Fi or mobile data.Right now I don't have installed any applications in my phone,just the stock ones and this **** Google play services is the first drain battery.I put my phone in Safe Mode and again,there is the first consumer,runs all the time and my phone is getting very hot due to this ****...
In setting>connection>data usage, find google play service and check if background data showing huge amount of mb. If so, maybe it's constantly running in background which draining the battery. Then in the same page, try to turn off 'allow background data usage'
This only effect when you're using mobile data. To make it effect when using wifi, check 'restrict network' and turn off the wifi network there. This should prevent google play service consume date in background.
Not sure if its work but worth a try.
Thanks for this advice.Yesterday I flashed again another firmware with Odin and the problem is still here but only when I use Wi-Fi Google play services starts to run all the time and to stop it I have to power of Wi-Fi and restart the phone and use only data mobile.So far,this is my fix for this problem...will see in the next days
I was getting the same annoying message about google play draining battery. I deleted the last 3 apps that I recently installed.. i restarted the phone and never got the error message again.. the apps were magicjack, hopper and zelle. cant tell exactly which one was the culprit. good luck
