Here is what I have discovered will help with Battery drains when it comes to Google Services and I will share this with you

You need to get disableService, make a backup, and then disable a lot of unnecessary services.

In my case I disable

fit*

wearable*

cast*

chrome*

kids*

games*

The below 2 services will Drain your battery badly, but if you need them, do not disable them.

GoogleLocationManager

GoogleLocationSevice

FusedLocation

Geo*

I Leave NetworkLocation service on.

Please bear in mind that I do not use Google Maps, I use GPS based maps only.

If you use Google Maps, you can use process of elimination with those services but in my experience, leaving NetworkLocationService on was all I needed. GPS based maps are better because you do not need data, however oyu do need a large sized SDcard to store maps you have downloaded.

I also disable:

Analytics*

Ad*

* = Means anything related to the words preceding the *star - You can search in DisableService and it will show you all the services related to the key word.

In your ROM, Privacy Settings > Privacy Guard > Advanced > Location > Disable wakeup and keepawake for Google Play Services.

Google has simply increased it's bloat and will still be using GPS/Wifi/NFC/Data and Anything else it can use to connect whether you are in or out of range of any data services and will continue to cause Wakelocks.

The only way to keep Google from draining your battery is to manually manage everything on Custom Roms. If you are Stock and not rooted, best hope that your Manufacturer has taken the necessary steps to prevent battery drains. Most manufacturers do include some sort of settings to keep Google Services from causing problems.

TIP: If you want to move Google Services back into /System/Priv-App : You must go into /Data/App and into the gms directory, and copy the Libs first. Give the Libs the same permissions as they are in /System/Priv-App (644) rwrr

And then Rename Base.apk to PrebuiltGmsCore.apk or GmsCore.apk (whichever) and copy it to /System/Priv-App/GmsCore (or folder where your Google Services is) - Overwrite, and give the same permissions 644 rwrr - Now you can delete it from /Data/App and reboot the device. This will free up space on your data partition. Wipe your Dalvik cache to be sure.

Remember : Only disable services you do not need. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, I am here to help.
[Android General] MichPRich:
Pretty nooby question that i've been meaning to ask for quite a while now; in privacy gaurd, is "ignored" the equivalent of "disable" / "disallow"? Process of elimination tells me yes lol, just sort of confusing wording..
[Android General] BillyHW:
Okay guys. Another day without Google Play Services wakelocks. I'm beginning to think the problem has finally been fixed. I'm getting great standby time again, and this is awesome when everything works like it's supposed to.

However, it needs to be said that this whole sad affair has me thinking about iOS for my next phone. Battery life should be something sacred, and a bug that keeps your phone awake when there's no goddamn reason for it to be awake is like the worst possible thing.

What if you were counting on your phone to be there in an emergency and then when you went to use it you found that a wakelock had drained the whole thing?

And how on earth did it take so long to fix? And how can I be sure now that it will never happen again? I will never have confidence in my phone again. The only way to be sure you'll have battery when you need it is to turn it off.

(I also am not pleased with the whole Android OS update mess with the manufacturers and carriers. My phone is just a little over a year old and it's not even getting a single +1.0 OS update. That's pretty lame.)

Anyhoo, thus endeth my rant. Other than this one glaring issue, my budget phone is pretty awesome considering.

P.S. I haven't yet tried re-enabling location services yet. I will try that tomorrow and then maybe vote on the poll after that.

P.S.S. I am sad to see that a few people are still voting that their wakelock problem has not been fixed with the latest update of Google Play Services. I wonder what is causing the problem to persist for you guys.

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

Well I don't want to root my phone and start messing around with **** if the problem is gone? I'm good with computers but not with smart phones.

What would uninstalling and reinstalling accomplish exactly?

Besides my version "034" isn't listed on that APK site.
[Android General] BillyHW:
Another day without Google Play Services wakelocks.

I tried turning location services back on today too.

I feel like I have my phone back again.

I still have to try turning auto-sync back on. (What does that do again, exactly?)

I also have all automatic software updates turned off everywhere I could find them. I think I may keep those turned off just because they are so effing annoying.
[Android General] BillyHW:
Okay, so I finally voted in the poll after a week without wakelocks from Google Play Services. The issue seems to be resolved for me, knock on wood. Thank you to Solvin for the original post.

Unfortunately from the poll results it looks like half of us are still having problems. I wonder what the problem is for those still experiencing wakelocks.
[Android General] BillyHW:
Spoke too soon. Wakelocks are back. F-ck you Google. I regret not getting an iPhone.
[Android General] Solvin:
Can you please give me a screenshot from the Play Services in your battery settings? The detailed infos please.
[Android General] cr0wnest:
Wakelocks still present for me. Running OnePlus 2 with OxygenOS 2.1.0 and Nexus 9 with Exodus ROM. In fact it seems worse on the Nexus 9, I dont recall ever having the wakelock issue on that device until this update.
[Android General] Solvin:
Is this Lollipop or KitKat?
[Android General] BillyHW:
KitKat.
[Android General] Solvin:
MH ok I thought that you are affected with the mobile radio active issue, but that's only a Lollipop problem.
[Android General] BillyHW:
Any ideas on what I can do? I'm going to try to factory reset my phone. That won't delete any contacts I have backed up to the SIM card, will it? That's all I need to keep. Everything else can go and start over.

Then I think I will try to root and install Wakelock Detector to maybe get a picture of what's going on. Sigh.

I am so disappointed in this whole thing. For me, going to sleep and not having rogue threads keeping the phone awake and killing your battery is sacred. The Android OS system should prevent this crap from happening. This is a total deal breaker for me, even though I don't want an iPhone for all sort of other reasons (i.e. Apple is just too much of a bully on what cannot go up on the app store, no emulators etc...and jailbreaking just exposes you to viruses..plus the $$$.)
[Android General] carrisco:
Very Odd Detail...

Hello Solvin.

My problem is even a little more odd.. I didn't have battery drain issues PRIOR to Google Play Services 8.1.15. It automatically updated on my phone on September 24 and that's when the crap hit the fan...

I'm using an S4 Mini Duos (GT-i9192) running KitKat 4.4.2 and never previously had an issue with battery drain (at least nothing severe enough to complain).

Apparently I can't attach photos because my post count is under 10 (pretty silly), so I can't show you the battery usage stats, etc.. Anyway, it definitely appears to be a wakelock issue. Since I can't access App Ops with KitKat 4.4.2, is there any way to deny the wakelocks without rooting? I use the phone for work and don't really want to root it just to get my normal battery life back. Pretty silly that an end user would need to perform a task like rooting just to get normal battery life.

Any ideas appreciated and sorry for harpooning the thread... But I felt it was related and also interesting that my problems STARTED with 8.1.15 rather than being solved with the upgrade...

If you want to access the images, just resolve the domain below by adding back in the http[colon]// [if needed] (again, I had to do it like this because of post count...)

[Android General] Solvin:
Hi. That looks curious. Do you have root access?
[Android General] Solvin:
Yes please install wakelock detector and post your stats here.
[Android General] carrisco:
No, I don't currently have root access and I was trying to avoid rooting the device. If there are NO OTHER ways to resolve the problem, then I suppose I will cave on this...

But I was hoping for other solutions. Unfortunately I have NOT found a way to go back to Google Play Services 7.x.x.

-b.
[Android General] Solvin:
That's the problem...you need root access to uninstall system apps like play services. after that you can install the 7.x version.
[Android General] carrisco:
I already uninstalled the update but it reverts to the base version and other apps don't run properly. I'm speaking of using the Application Manager and selecting the "Uninstall updates" button. My thinking is that doing this would peel things back to the base version and then any newer update could be installed (except the newest 8.1.15 version).

Where can I access the next most recent version before 8.1.15? Again, compatible with KitKat 4.4.2...

-b.
[Android General] carrisco:
Sadly this strategy failed as well. Even with every "auto-update" option turned off, Android still automatically updates Google Play Services to the newest version. You can't stop it from happening from what I can see.

The bad part is the last (034) Google Play Services works fine for me and if the version would stay installed after I manually install it, my problems would be solved.

-b.
[Android General] BillyHW:
For now my wakelock problem hasn't returned since I did the factory reset. When it comes back I will post here.

I'm also trying to reinstall my apps one at a time to see if I can identify which ones are problematic.

I've also disabled auto-sync, and set location services to "device only", which is fine for Google Maps to work. (For the weather you can just manually select your town and you're just fine.) I may even turn off that, since I can just manually turn that back on whenever I use Google Maps. No other app needs it.

Oh, and one last thing: I went into Google Settings (not Android Settings, but Google Settings, it's different) and turned off everything I could turn off, especially the remote wipe, remote locater service.

I don't know which, if any of the above will work or help the situation. All I know so far is that I haven't had a wakelock problem since the factory reset. But I haven't reinstalled all my apps yet.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gynoid:
With the latest 5.0.2-010 06 update, you can now enable Wifi and/or Bluetooth when in Airplane mode. That's good news for the battery, when you want to check your mails (or facebook msgs, app updates or whatever ...) while in bed, without having to remain connected to the mobile network (+ also avoid useless exposure to GSM radio signals).

Thank you, TCL !

I have HTC One M8 (AT&T - Unlocked - GSM Unlocked)

So far I have recovery TWRP/bootloader.. nothing else works I cant boot my phone.. Kind of lost what to do .. I really want to install a custom ROM like Skydragon.. I got really close

Unlocked phone (S-On), rooted. Flashed bootloader and installed skydragon, but OS wouldn't boot up im guessing cause I need to flash android to 5.1? My phone has 4.4.5. What must I do to get this working. Must I flash bootloader or kernal or android to latest??? Any help would be great!!!

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] unknownkind:
Okay so I got Skydragon installed and working with Android 5.0.2 HTC Sense 7

when I did the installed I chose to install stock kernal (GSM update)

Kernal Version 3.4.0-gffb

and@AABM

SMP PREEMPT

Is the latest kernel or should I have choosen to update skydragon kernel????
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need to update the firmware.

When you say you "flashed bootloader" I don't think you really mean what that is saying. What exactly did you flash?

Also, there is no Android 4.4.5. I think you mean 4.4.4.

I can boot into the phone where I have touchwiz, I can unlock the phone access settings but I can't use the home button to access home screen, when I do acees it from unlock It is just a black screen. Please help as this is an expensive brand new phone. Can I send into Samsung for repair.

I did kdz flash wit JB, KK and LP kdzs and it's the same. I tried with Cloudy G2 3.3 and Slim Saber and it's the same. Bluetooth was working till recently and sudenly wont work any more.

Thread before edit: "problems with my s5380i"

I had really slow phone that got stuck every few seconds

I've discovered the cause of my problems. It was Google Play Services.

Not only did it cripple my phone's performance big time but it also killed my youtube viewing pleasure.

Videos on any quality got stuck and rendered slow and poor. It sucks that I had to delete both since now

I can't use youtube without the bloody play services.

I don't know if my battery bug will be fixed, I'll just have to see.

Can I install old version of google play services and youtube WITHOUT them trying to update to latest on their own?

Yea, I wouldn't get that one... I like the fact that the seller is being honest, radio goes on and off according to him.

However, the phone's bid has gone now in the 600s. A little too rich for my blood for a crippled device. in about a month a new and fully working one will cost some 1-200 dollars more, depending on where you get it of course.

I know I am getting one! Gotta replace the Wizard. It has served me extremely well, but I'm ready to dish out another crazy amount of money to buy a phone. Damn, for that kind of money I can get myself a nice medium size HDTV... or get my car a nice paint job, or pay my rent :) Can anyone guess what my priorities are? :)

4 hours SOT on first drain... not bad. Keep us posted on the next few charge cycles.
[X Style (Pure) General] sherif2015:
also the exact timings if you would. i.e. when did u plug it off the charger and when did it reach the 1%?

and if it is not much of a burden and since you own the nexus 6, how is the new charger? Motorola said this the fastest quick charger ever

[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
4 hours sot on WiFi is prey terrible. There has to be something eating battery. Maybe some of their junk left running like the voice assistant or the front sensors. Maybe their stock kernel is woefully inefficient. That is pretty bad sot on WiFi. I hope you had a wake lock or something from an app or brightness at max
[X Style (Pure) General] RemnantKing2:
4 hours from the very first discharge is not in the least "terrible" one bit honestly, especially considering that it's a QHD. I can't manage to pull 4 hours sometimes from my HTC One M8 that doesn't have QHD, that's on a custom ROM and kernel, AND that has a significantly smaller screen than the Moto X Pure. And the battery is only 400 mAh less than what the Moto has.
[X Style (Pure) General] emailrob:
i WISH I got more than 4 hours SOT on my OnePlus. Some of it is the average to poor TMob signal I get though. That's what I'll have to compare to with the moto x - which arrives today :D
[X Style (Pure) General] PolishDude:
I get about 2 hrs of SOT on my Note 3.... thats terrible!
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I can get 4 hours sot on my one plus on lte easily. Heavy web browsing usage. Solely on WiFi it might be close to 8 hours but I'd say at least 6 minimum.

4 hours sot for WiFi, if accurate, is a huge issue and would probably cause me to cancel. I'll wait for more accurate readings and confirmation obviously but if true that is terrible. That would put LTE SOT at around 2.5 hours.

Could also be carrier related. Those CDMA radios could be sucking juice.
[X Style (Pure) General] biggiestuff:
I average about 4hrs on my nexus 6 unplugged from 8:30am to 11pm at night. Everything is enabled. sync, google now, location, bluetooth, wifi. If I can do about the same or better with the moto x pure I'd be content.
[X Style (Pure) General] prince93:
And how many hours of sot with mobile data on? H+ or lte?
[X Style (Pure) General] biggiestuff:
Everyday is mixed usage for me but I'm on WiFi probably 11 to 12 hrs of that time. Drive home and lunch time is when I'm on mobile. Weekends I'm mostly away from work but its not too much different as T-Mobile is strong in Houston. I just came back from Seattle and signal there is bad so I was definitely hurting a bit more.
