[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rgerrans:
I uninstalled Google+ over the weekend and coincidentally or not my battery drain rate today seems much lower then what I've been seeing the last few weeks. Could be placebo effect and faulty memory too ;) but with normal use and 5 hours in I'm only down 20% which is consistent with the 4% per hour that I remember when I first got my Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pijes:
Google+ likes to reside in the memory. Even if you kill it, it will come back. I stopped using it because of that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] stelthy77:
I had this problem too. HOT phone, 4 or 5 hours of battery life with Google Play services at the top of battery usage, 3-4 hours of awake time. It started on Friday or Saturday for me. Not sure if it is related, but it is after I installed the new Google Photos. Uninstalling that and turning off Google photo sync didn't fix it.

I ended up factory wiping to "fix" it. Same apps loaded, including Google photos, same version of google play services, no more drain or hot phone.

Issues like this absolutely drive me crazy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] reggie14:
I'm another victim of this bug.

I'm 2.5 hours off the charger. Google Play Services has used 1 hour, 42 minutes of CPU time, and is responsible for 53% of the battery drain (100%->68%). This started late last week. I didn't install anything new then, but I had previously installed the new Photos app, which some people believe is related to this problem. Disabling and uninstalling that app didn't help.

This is pretty infuriating. Restoring app data on unrooted Android devices is a pain. Helium is great, but doesn't reliably bring back game state data for many titles. I wouldn't mind doing a factory reset as much if I could actually recover all my data.

Edit: I'm really hoping to avoid a FDR. Looking at the Process Stats under Developer Options, I see location-related services under Google Play Services have very high usage rates. They're all at 100%. It's not unusual for a couple services under Google Play Services to show up at ~100%, but I've never seen so many services show up like that unless I'm having issues. I'll post a screenshot once I get network access on my phone.

No trouble with Play services at all. Consistently low drain, even with Google+ running all the time. Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or lte.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] stelthy77:
Do you have the new Google Photos update installed?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] omniatic:
Newest Photos, and as of now, the newest Play services installed.

Hasn't been an issue...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Javiggan69:
Ended up doing a factory reset. Google play services is back to normal. Same apps installed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Tyler2265:
What might be helpful to fix this battery drain, but might not be something you want to do, is disable Google Now/ Cards on your device if you haven't already. I use to see a lot of my battery going to Google/Google play services and when I disabled cards, it really helped my battery a lot.

Google now likes to update the cards to often and it also updates your location frequently so that you can find it using Google on a computer in case you ever loose your phone. So that might be where some of your battery is going

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] stelthy77:
No doubt that Google Now causes some battery drain, but normal function of Google Now is not what is causing this issue.

Before I wiped, with this bug, I could barely get 5 hours of phone life (about 1 hour of on screen time). The phone was literally hot the whole day.

All other things equal (including having Google Now fully functional) I am at 77% after 8.5 hours and about an hour of screen on time. That isn't exactly awesome, but I have a LOT of mail coming and going, a constant Bluetooth connection to my watch and the aforementioned Google Now running. It seems reasonable to me. I am sure I could get better life if I turned off background sync, and google now, but I like that stuff, it's why I have my phone.

the problem others and myself are experiencing and discussing here isn't battery draining caused by the normal function of a program or system on the phone, it's a bug. I always see recommendations for fixing major battery drains that include turning off functions (like Google Now), that when functioning normally don't cause issues like this.

What's difficult is finding exactly what settings and software combinations cause this bug to rear it's ugly head.

Sorry if I came across as ranting, I appreciate your input but wanted to make it clear that this wasn't typical of Google Now's battery usage.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Zwh2:
I have the same issue with the battery draining because of Google play services. However it only happens when I am at work. On the weekend or after work it will last a whole day no problem but it is dead in 7 hours at work. I would have thought it was because I don't have the best network connection but I do have wifi and turning off data didn't help much. I brought a charger in so I have found a way around it but thought I would add another data point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] reggie14:
I'm trying to squeak by until the 5.1 update in hopes that will fix it. Some days my battery is fine- other days "Google Play Services (persistent)" has a very high utilization bar under process stats, and my phone never sleeps.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Galaxo60:
Actually, Lollipop make this bug unfixable.

All Google stuff was perfectly working with KitKat, but after the update, Play Services is consuming around 20% battery, no matter if you have Google Now enabled or not.

This drain only occurs while on mobile data, it seems that in WiFi is working fine.

:crying:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Tyler2265:
To be honest with you. I haven't had this issue at all with my phone, until the other day when I enabled the cards. Then I started noticing Google services showing up at the top of the list for battery drain.

Of course I'm not saying that this is the complete reason for this. Could be that Google is trying to update something or is looking for a update that dosent exist. Not exactly sure, but I know this is the first time its happened to me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] stelthy77:
Yup it is a bug in google services.

If you factory wipe and re-enable the cards it will be fine (meaning google services will still be in the list, but not at the top...).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Phobophobia:
I managed to solve this problem by wiping data for Google Play Services, disabling it (from the master applications list, you can't do it from the link in the battery stats), and re-enabling it. After a full day since doing that, it's been consistently around 4-5% of my battery usage, instead of 40-50%. My battery's on track to last 20 hours with 4 hours SOT instead of 12 hours with only 1 hour of SOT, so I'm calling that good enough.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] stelthy77:
Good info! I tried clearing cache and rebooting, but never disabling.

Thanks.

Unless your device has fastboot you sure have to root it to backup stock ROM.

You should check this out but it might be little advanced:

[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
You can backup using ADB but it is a bit complicated.

You should always backup using fastboot (no root nedded, if your phone has it) or more prefferaby with a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM (root needed)

ADB Backup tutorial:

Warning: if you don't understand a step just google it or ask me.

1. Enable USB Debugging on your phone.

2. Plug your phone in via USB

3. Install ADB drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

4. Go to start, type in CMD and press enter. A black box should pop up.

5. Now type in:

adb

If you get a bunch of text show up in CMD (that black box) it is working

If you get

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you didn't complete step 3 correctly.

6. Now type in

adb devices

If you get this it is working:

If you get this:

Devices attached:

It is not working and it means that the Google USB driver is not installed.

7. Now type this in:

adb backup -all -f %userprofile%\Desktop\Backups\backup.ab

Now unlock your phone and press "Back up my data"

Now you just wait and you will get a backup in a folder called Backups (that folder is on your desktop)

You are backed up! To restore it, just google How to restore ADB backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dz2k:
does stock rooted device supposed to say "custom" upon boot? it has an unlocked lock logo. I rarely reboot the phone so I don't know the answer. there was a fast food app(1) that it wouldn't let me make a online order due to it detecting the phone not being fully stock rom so I uninstalled the app. its no big deal but am wondering if this has something to do with a counter that I could reset. I have no idea what I'm talking about as its been a long time since this was done but I remember something about people resetting the counter in certain situations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I suspect it is showing Custom because you are rooted.

TriangleAway is the app that resets the counter. I don't know if that changes the Custom back to whatever it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
As mentioned by dawgdoc you can reset the counter. I have a VZW S3 with an unlocked bootloader but it does not have any type of lock that shows up during the initial boot

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dz2k:
I also have vzn. I'll have to read up on the triangleaway and report back. Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dz2k:
Well, i checked in download mode and it said official binary and with Triangleaway confirming and saying counter is 0. I shutdown phone and booted it w/o custom logo and just rebooting phone and it didnt show custom logo which is great. I then tried the latest version of the fast food app that detected a non fully stock rom i had in years past and it seems an online order would go thru! It must be random as i didnt do anything and will consider this resolved. Thx.

So I've officially tested the Yootech and Newisdom upgraded. Jesus Christ is there a difference. The Newisdom was so easy to line up and use, but the Yootech was worth the fifty bajillion times to get into place. It identifies nearly instantly, and seems to be okay with more rocking than usual.

There are few online stores here in Moscow that sell the H815 version (not the 818 one that is officially sold in Russia).

Since I need the unlockable version I want to be sure that it is actually the EU open version before I buy it.

All European H815 are now unlockable since Sep. 1st, not only the open market version anymore. But only European models, you can check the suffix on imeidata.net with the IMEI of the phone you wanna buy and choose Warranty & FW and you see the suffix, than you have to find out what that suffix means. If its a IMEI from a European country (Europe as region, not as continent.) like France, Netherland, UK, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy or a branded version in one of those countries (Yeah, they work too, I have a o2 Germany and a Vodafone Germany branded one and both are unlocked now.) you are good to go.
