This is the first phone I've had in ages having this issue, usually consuming 60% or more battery...

I had about 35% battery drain on Facebook Services. I just had to deactivate that app, and now it disappeared.
Have u tried with factory reset?

Problem solved, it was completely my fault as "location" was turned on as I forgot to disable it after using Google Maps.
It's a huge battery sucker whether used or not. Leaving it on drains your battery like never before.

Regarding this, the default option of Localization for "Find my Device" (in Google options) is Set on "Yes".
So, even of you turned off your GPS, it's still on and it will drain battery.
i have same issue, ove 20% drain from google play services. clearing its data didnt fix the issue. funny part it drained those 22% over 7 minutes of app usage

Thanks for pointing this out, I have now disabled "Find my Device" completely, I'll see how the battery goes & report back shortly.
I'm also having a huge battery drain due to google play services and play store. I disabled location, find my phone, turned off WiFi scanning. But still I see a lot of battery drain even with no app usage.

I find that the more notifications that come through the more battery drain Google Services incurs. I've turned off notifications for most apps, except for SMS and my Galaxy Watch. Notifications wake the phone and Google Play Services too.
Does this happen on the Global version too?
Hello,
I had the same problem. But I fixed it by disabling: 'Carrier Service'.
Hope this helps others!
Carrier service? What's that?

Hello guys
First for all, hello, firsts post here, but I'm reading this forum for a while ago...

First high battery drain is normal usage, actually, I was testing some apps, however, second high battery drain is standby mode!, yes! standby!... It was the time I was sleeping xD
When I go to Battery Usage I found this
that f**king Google Services and Google+ are draining my battery.... Since I brought this new phone (last one was Xperia T, it was stolen :crying I saw a lot of times that damn Google Services consuming a lot of battery, and at Xperia T always Screen was the number one at this.
Anyone knows why this happens? there's a solution other wise turn off all google stuff?
Regards
PS: as u can see my native language is spanish, so sry if my english is not good xD
oh yeah... I'm at .254 Stock ROM
Hey,
before you sleep, maybe turn on flight mode just to go sure. If your phone is rooted you could also use greenify, if not, don't use it
You need to use the app 'Wakelock Detector' to find what is keeping your phone awake.
The amount of time your phone is awake definitely isn't normal
Also try disabling stamina mode
Thanks for your answers guys

Actually, turning off Wifi solves the problem, but I'm curious about why Google Services drain so much battery, also, this is not happening all the time

About that, stamina have some issues with Outlook, sometimes Outlook drain a lot of battery in standby, but only happen when I'm on mobile data, and also not always, with Google Services happen both on mobile data and Wifi...
I'll use that app, so let me install and see what happen, also I'll try siabling stamina...

I'm not sure if I has to use the edit button, but well...
Running WLD all night found this
searching a little, I found that the 'GTALK_ASYNC etc etc' is known that may cause battery drain.... and apparently is related with VPN.... The first image of this post I was testing that app 'Firewall sin root' that creates a false VPN to conrtrol all data... but now, last night I was not using that app and still happened...
I'm waiting for 4.3. update now, so I'll see what happen after that xD
Thanks for the answers guys
Hello,
Something that I've been noticing...
Every time when Sony launches a new update my phone's battery is draining faster.
I'm not a hardcore user, I only use wi-fi or 3g, barely use 4g because my city doesn't have the greatest coverage, I don't need to use GPS and all other functionalities... Sometimes I use Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat and that is all.
Today for example I only used Whatsapp through their website, didn't use my phone that much and look at these stats:

}
In a couple of hours I lost almost 40% of battery
I'm used to my phone lasting 2-3 days before needing to charge and now every day I have to do it.
Can someone explain to me, or help fix this issue?
Thank you all
PS.: I didn't root my phone or did anything with it yet....
Not sure since I use cyanogenmod but those stats just tell that you have the screen on a lot. For advanced battery usage diagnostics you would need root but you could try Wakelock Detector: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=de

But that is what I'm talking about, each update my screen and android seems to use more battery.
I did nothing different with him from when I first got the phone and updated it to Lollipop.
The first update was great, then the others started to make my phone use more battery...
Are all your apps up to date? The second to last Snapchat update caused wakelocks and the latest should fix that.
Asife from the wakelock detector (which is a great app) you could also try Gsam Batterymonitor.

Yes, I just updated Snapchat.
I'm gonna try using Gsam since Wakelock only works with rooted devices.
Thanks for helping me guys

There is also an app called Deep Sleep Info and that tells you, over time, how much sleep your phone is getting. This app does not require root and does not consume any cpu or battery power.
Before 5.1.1 I was getting around 90% when the screen was off but since 5.1.1 the phone is only sleeping around 60% of the time. I think there is more to the problem than just one rouge app because Gsam is reporting sensors.qcom and mediaserver as using more resources in the latest lollipop.
Did you do a factory reset after the update?
Before doing that, my phone also has poor battery life, but after did a factory reset, my battery life turns a lot better!
You might consider give it a try!
Hey all,
After upgrading to nougat, I've had pretty terrible battery life. Essentially, my phone will always drain battery. Turns out, every 6 seconds on average, Google quicksearchbox is turning on my phone for something or another. I've tried wiping cache and data through system and recovery for Google services with no luck. I don't have any wakelock contributing to this. I've disabled a ton of apps and settings so far with no change. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this short of trying a factory reset or custom rom? What else can I try? I'm not rooted. Thanks!

I think Google services does some background activities after we upgrade Android versions.. typically for 2-3 battery cycles.. after which you should get better results.. if it's past that too.. then it might be a drain issue

I upgraded on the 31st and was having this issue 6-7 days out. I upgraded a few hours ago to the 4.0.1. Hoping that does the trick. Few hours in and doesn't seem to be too much better unfortunately. Fingers crossed.

Have you tried disabling the app for a while?
Uninstall reinstall the app/updates?

1. Disable which app? Google now? No, because it didn't used to do this and I use google now all the time. I'm sure if it was an issue with the app version, other people would be having issues too.
2. Yes, tried this. No change
What helped me with battery is turning location to high accuracy then turning off google location history, then go into battery and turning on "close app with high battery drain", and turning on agresive hibernation, and finally restricting any app that don't need cell to wifi only. Hope it helps, I did this to my brother's OnePlus 3 and it saves him about 40% at the end of the day.

Hi everyone,
I have this little phone for about 2 weeks and I've never ever reached a good and consistent on screen time. I've always had about 2-3 hours, although this phone could manage 5-6 hours on screen time!
This is my situation right now (I have 43% battery left)

Is that normal??
If you disable RCSservice you will get at least 20% of your battery back, with no side effects.
RCSservice was invented by google as an alternative messaging protocol, to be added to mms messaging. But it never really took off and from what I can gather, some service providers don't support it, at which point RCS seems to go into some sort of error state, eating battery.
I put some instructions together on how to remove it and reclaim some battery.

Disable wifi scanning under location settings.
'Keep wifi on during sleep' should be set to 'only when plugged in' (under wifi prefrences\advanced)
Try installing Greenify to slow down the wakelocks.
Better Battery Stats can be installed on a non-rooted phone with some ADB commands. This will tell you everything you need to know, what's waking the phone, what's using the network, whats' waking with alarms etc etc. As well as having a helpful thread to talk about what you find.
Using 5Ghz wifi uses a lot of juice, if possible sepearte 2.5Ghz & 5Ghz bands on your home wifi and use the 2.5Ghz. The speed difference is negligable.
Disable sync under account settings . This will save you heaps of battery, but then you're going to have to open Gmail and press refresh to find out if you have mail. Most other stuff works ok with it turned off whatsapp/twitter/snapchat/et all
Here a similar issue with the XZ1 compact. Think battery life is quite disappointing to be honest, felt it was better once upon a time.
My XZ1C battery life is quite good
Overnight, my phone discharged from around 40% to zero and turned off while it was in airplane mode. Confirmed aiplane mode was still active after charging up and turning back on. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Battery info showed the app "Google" seemed to be to blame. Is there a way to diagnose what aspect of Google was messed up and confused to cause this excessive battery use in airplane mode? Or how to diagnose what other app I was using that may have been buggy and interacted with "Google" to cause this nonsensical battery usage when airplane mode was turned on?
Here is the chart showing the constant smooth line from when I went to bed and turned on airplane mode, leading to zero battery:

Take out the trash; any social media apps. Amazon and Netflix are two I'd never allow to install or run.
Google backup Transport and any apps storing in the cloud. It shouldn't be necessary to put into airplane mode at night; use do not disturb.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that gets it. Gmail, Playstore and Google backup Transport are dependencies of it.
I normally keep it disabled unless I need it; nets me 1-2% @hr better SOT.
How do any of those apps use so much battery when in airplane mode?
I'm just confused how the phone itself is dissipating power without using the radios....?

Why does the phone attribute their power consumption to the app "Google"?
Why does Google consume all the power?
Update: after clearing cache for entire phone, the problem no longer occurs.
Overnight, the battery percentage drops 2% when I turn on airplane mode.
The app "Google" no longer tops the list of battery offenders.
But I'm still curious why the app Google would consume power?

Data conflict.
You shouldn't need to turn off data and usage at night by Google should be near zero if optimized.
As is Google is still an issue on that device.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services at night with airplane mode off.
