I wasn't sure where to post this but I noticed today my battery seemed to be draining more than normal for me not using it today. I checked the battery usage stats and found Hangouts on top with 7% usage since this morning... I don't use Hangouts, I use Google Messenger.. I think something with the latest 2/23/2017 update started making Hangouts drain battery for some unknown reason.
I disabled Hangouts and will see if that helps. Thought other people might want to know.

So, I have this ROM installed on my AT&T One. Everything is working well, except that battery drain today was pretty bad. Now, the phone was basically on my pocket for 11+ hours, some fours of which was in the car for a road trip.
I've attached two screenshots, which show unusually high use by Mediaserver, and the next 3 biggest uses are Wi-Fi (which I do keep turned on), Cell standby and Phone idle.
Any ideas why these are so damn high? I don't know what the Mediaserver is showing up with that much usage. I didn't listen to any music today. The only battery uses below Chrome in the attachment are Android System w/ 5%, Android OS w/ 2% and Google Services w/ 2%.
Play Google music?

Any other thoughts?
Any one else got major battery drain when using google maps 7.0? It seems I get a nlp wakelock only with this version, and it uses up like 70% of my battery according to HTC.

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.
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.
Hi,
The google app is using the most battery on my phone... why is this??
Sometimes it does it to me also. Usually it's because something makes it use gps for hours. See if your gps is used when you tap the battery graph.
Rebooting usually fixes it for me.
So I just disabled the Google App nd the drain has stopped...
Shouldn't have had to disable it tho...but I don't know why it was draining so bad

Same problem here. I don't know what's causing it but it makes the phone hot and drains battery.
Google App!!!
how did you disable the google app? what exactly was disabled? location? Google Now? Google Plus?
I'm seeing the same thing. I unplugged my fully charged phone and went to bed (i.e. idle). Checked the phone in the morning and had burned through 33% of my battery in just under 11 hours with "google App" accounting for 83% of the battery usage.
Hello, I have my LG L90 for a year and a half and I'm pretty satisfied with how it works and it's battery life, up until a month ago. Then the battery started to drain very fast and it couldn't last a full day with moderate use. It managed to drain up to 10% of battery per hour, even if the phone was only sitting on the table.
I did some research and discovered that the most of the battery drain was done by Google Play services and the process named Icing, thanks to the Wakelock detector. This happened on my stock ROM and I did an upgrade to [ROM][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL] Temasek's CM13.0 FINAL v11.0 and the problem persisted. The Google Play services version is 9.6.83.
I read somewhere that this process is connected to the SMS and since I have a lot of messages (35k+). For testing purpose I disabled the SMS permission on Google Play services and testing now to see if there are any differences.
I was wandering if anyone else had a same issue and how to fix it.
