Battery drain and CPU warnings - Google Play Services. - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I'm having some problems with battery drain and also with high CPU warnings because of google play services. Everything is up to date. The warnings seem pretty random, and the battery drain some days in none existant, but the following day it will lose 20% in a couple of hours on standby and otherwise unused. I have cleared the cache, I have cleared the cache and data for all the google services I could find. I have deleted my 3 google accounts and re-added them.
Deleting the data and cache from the apps does seem to help, temporarily, but in a few days the problem is back.
My Note 8 is the Exynos UK version.
Does anyone else have these issues and is there a fix? My Mrs has the same thing happening on her S8.
Thanks.

Same Issue on my Note 8
This issue started 2 days ago, it's completely drained my battery and when i usually have 40% left at the end of the day, my battery was dead by 3 PM which is ridiculous. Checked the battery usage and Google Services is taking a massive amount of battery. Any idea of the cause? The drain slows when i put it on power saving mode i need this fixed!

People in household with note 8 and s7 both having issue. Worse, device maintenance allows you to close Google play services via a notification which disables many functions for the non technical user.
Hopefully a fix is coming.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy S7.

Battery life

Are you guys seeing a change in battery life on 5.1.1 as oposed to 5.0.2? I am, and I miss my old battery life. It's not bad by any means, but I do notice a difference. Right now, I am using greenify, and package disabler. Is there anything else I can do to get back to 2-3 days usage and over 10 hours sot?
Also, is there any way we can get smart Manager back?
Well I'd start from getting rid of greenify... It's useless on modern phones
Please excuse brevity and typos, written on a mobile device
I've suspected that causing an issue so I Uninstalled it. Any other manager like a smart Manager that we can use?
I get all day battery,and coming from V10
M S6 updated to 5.1.1, and I noticed that Google Play Services is draining my battery very quickly. Have you noticed anything unusual?
When there are updates in the play store, I have noticed that it causes a drain. This is Google play services

After the last update I had the same issue and still not have figured out completely. But I installed a couple apks for play store and Google services. It fixed those but still disappointing battery life.

I have Google Play Store working now! I had to contact Google, they called me within a minute and walked me through a couple steps ( beyond the ones they provide as a troubleshooter) with no luck. the last step before a factory reset was to delete my google account and reinstall it. I am happily updating apps as I am writing this!!
Something definitely happened to the battery life and it must be a google app problem. My battery was fine after the 5.1.1 update few months ago and suddenly a week ago (or two) the battery started draining fast. Also in the morning instead of the usual 3-6% drop I see at least 13% drop.
Do you know a good app which can show me why the drainage?
My friend had a similar problem on his Note 4. His battery went from 100% to 20% in one day with maybe 15min usage.He downloaded app Clean Master and cleaned the system (or what ever that app does). That solved the problem for him,at least so he said.
My battery life is back to normal, after removing my Google account and reinstalling it! I am happy again!
I haven't had a single problem after the update. I'm getting several days out of my battery - but I just use it for calls and texts. Still the best battery life of any phone I've owned...

Xiaomi Mi A2 battery drain issue?

Hello, fellows. I have a Xiaomi Mi A2 and couple of days ago I started experiencing battery drain issue. Google Play Store drained 23% of my battery on the last charge, despite rarely using the store app. I have already limited background data usage and background app running but I think I still have the drain issue. Any advice on what to do? I haven't installed any new apps that would cause this and this issue came out of nowhere... I have been using the phone for almost 2 months now and before I was getting 6 and a half hours of screen on time, now I'm struggling to get even 4... Any ideas?
As I experienced it many times, I found a solution which I hope find useful. If you have a continuous notification like a pedometer, weather forecast or sth like that, play store or play services drains the battery a lot.

Nothing in the way I use my device changed. I have not installed any new apps and the battery started draining suddenly and I think it's play store or its services
Don't know, some people are telling me to install MIUI.
you can turn off fingerprint sensor, it might save battery to some extent. Use face unlock instead.
Same issue here, today was killer 25 min SOT 65% drain in idle.

Odd battery life

Hello,
Since the purchase of my phone XZ1 Compact (G8441), I've been experiencing barely acceptable battery life. This is especially frustrating since I bought this phone having heard that it can last easily 2-3 days, but this is not the case for me (discharging about 4%h on average or 2.5%h with screen off on either wifi or mobile data, with various configurations outside/home/office, i.e. in practice never usable more than a day).
According to *#*#SERVICE#*#*, the battery life is still good (2704 mAh). The issue I am experiencing is most likely due to an unknown software and/or hardware failure leading to lots of wakelocks that prevent the phone from "sleeping"/"dozing" correctly.
I know that MANY users worldwide are experiencing this and Sony never gave an answer to this, according to e.g. the following threads:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-update-47-1-A-12-235/m-p/1337029
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-47-1-A-12-205-update/m-p/1328053
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/help/battery-life-bit-odd-t3688342/page8
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ1-Compact/High-battery-drain/m-p/1326474 https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...-drain-after-update-47-1-A-12-270/m-p/1340671 https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...pie-battery-drain-CPU-idling-high/m-p/1354891
and many others
In my case the items "NlpWakeLock" and "RILJ_ACK_WL" activate both up to thousands of times every hour. No relevant information could be found about this in the web lookups I've done, and I am not sure this is related to the issue I'm facing. I joined a log of today's better battery stats with a pathetic 1h20 of SOT and 65% discharge, a huge count of wakelocks except when I was listening to music, and an apparent faster discharge with the idle phone than when actually used.
The phone is running the latest downloadable Sony firmware 47.2.A.10.107.
Of course, factory reset was tried with no amelioration and I tried to contact directly Sony which have basically no willingness to help or investigate.
Anyone would have a clue about this?
Thanks,
Alexandre
Do you use Google Now (google assistant) - NlpWakeLock
If not, disable it and see what happens.
This little phone I have for battery life and for banking/authenticator/etc. Not for work. So I have disabled most things I do not need (adb uninstall) - so the battery is quite good on standby.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, as I don't use GoogleNow, the whole Google App is already disabled...
I'll try and do some adb uninstall and will keep you posted

Looking at the bbs stats. The first thing I noticed is that your wifi is on all the time. Try turning it to only when awake and disable the wifi scanning in locatin settings.
RIL wakelocks are on because you have poor signal, it's the number of handhakes your phone does with the local cell tower and if you have bad signal, it gets higher.
Some providers offer home 4g boosters for your home or 'calls over wifi', either of these would reduce your battery usage.
My phone has been flawless (2-3 days on battery when I don't play games) but suddenly it started behaving like described in the original post.
It has 1 day life now and I haven't found the reason for this change. I have removed all recently installed apps, removed all unnecessary apps (including Facebook app), disabled running in background for some (like Messenger), there was no firmware update at that time. Still something is eating up the battery. SmartPanel tool shows that 58% of battery is Unaccounted (next is display and Google Services). I have not done the factory reset yet because I need fully configured phone right now.

Faster battery drain after OTA update to 9.1.0.252 on Huawei P10 VTRL-L29

After updating to 9.1.0.252 I noticed faster battery drain. Did any of you experience the same behavior? I'm thinking to go back to 9.0.1.
Thanks
I feel the same

Don't forget that our device/battery is getting older with every update?.
It might look like new but mine is already 2 years in use.

I noticed faster battery drain on my ltr-09 as well. All is fine now. I noticed when i first upgraded location was turning on alot almost like it was learning when to turn on. Then it levelled out. Example opening google now at first it always turned on my gps now it doesnt. When i was on 9.01 i left my phone on battery saving for gps. You cant on 9.1 and i have seen alot of apps that used to be good with battery saving location now going for full with gps. Big bttery drain. Those were the differences i found. What I believe solved my battery drain was actually my battery getting all screwed up. I had this happen when i would switch roms and my battery stats would get all messed up. I solved it before and solved it this time with my p10 by running the thing right dead. Then pluging it in overnight with it turned off (no fast charging) Then I did it again the next night drained to dead , plug in charge with off ( no supercharging) and my battery life is better again. Hope this helps. EDIT After a few days of testing i still felt the battery was better but battery life still wasnt right. I did a factory installed minimal apps. Battery life was good until play store updated carrier services. I uninstalled updates to carrier services, disabled auto update. Then i actually disabled carrier services completely. Battery seems good now. From what i read carrier services is for next gen texting. Saw online others were having issues with this update.

Wrong, batteries get older with time and charging cycles. Updates have nothing to do with it and if you notice a drain right after one - it has nothing to do with the condition of the battery, it's the update's fault.
updates are huawei's way to convince you to buy a new phone
first they borked the camera, now they are messing with battery
I managed to improve battery life a little bit by disabling apps running in background and disabling unnecessary location permissions for several apps like @bigshowjh said. Like @bigshowjh said I found apps resetting their permission or settings after update. Still the battery life is not like it was before updating with the same usage behavior.

I have ran a couple of days with very good battery life. 11.5 hrs with 62 percent left. Seems like it used to be with Oreo. Overview of all I did was as follows. Clear cache partition, factory reset . Uninstalled Google Chrome (used Firefox instead) set carrier service to factory in apps three dots advanced. Disabled automatic update of carrier services in play store, then in settings apps disabled carrier services completely. Went through and disabled network access to every app that doesn't need it. I don't use Facebook or Facebook Messenger apps. I use them through my browser. Oddly chome on pie is a battery killer as well. I'm very satisfied with proformance of my P10 again.
My GPS is pretty much always off (unless I really need it) and the battery level still goes down by 9% during the night. It used to be 3-4%.
I cannot find carrier service anywhere.
In my case I can't see power hungry apps in the stats, standby process uses the most energy.

Settings, apps, apps again, select three dots in upper right, select show system processes. You will find it there it's a little hidden lol.
Still no carrier services for Play Store.

Note 9 Battery Usage on Wifi

So this is my last resort as i have literally tried everything else already. Recently (speaking a month or so) i have noticed a severe drop in sot on my Note 9 aswell as overnight drain of ~20% with no Apps running. After several tests i have come to the conclusion that the drain seems to stem from having either Wifi or LTE enabled. Now i am aware that both of those require a decent amount of Power in active use, but it does not explain the sudden extreme drain where as before it was ~ 5-6% overnight.
Things i have tried: Replaced the battery, Factory reset, Cache wipe, Disabling all Apps, etc..
The only thing that really worked was disabling Wifi or LTE. Now my question is, has someone had similar issues or can someone provide an App that actually shows Android System Battery usage for Galaxy Devices again? According to the built in Battery Manager Apps only draw about 3% of the 20% that are gone overnight.
Any help or info would be much appreciated.
Device Information:
Note 9 SM-N960F Dual Sim Exynos
Android 10 Latest Update (Nov 6 2020)
OneUi Version 2.5
Bump, really no one who has the same issue?
Try booting your device into Safe Mode and see if that happens. If it doesn't then there is an app on your device that is constantly updating the data to the server and is causing the battery drain. You will have to uninstall it.
