Hi All,
There are a few posts already about a lack of deep sleep, but most of these are whining threads, without any attempt at trying to figure out what's happening.
So...
Recently, my phone started using battery more than usual (no change to kernel or ROM). I've checked battery stats and advanced battery stats, and it appears that the google location service is preventing my phone from sleeping.
I'm taking a punt that this is an issue with the latest update to google maps and/or latitude.
Is anyone else having this issue just in the last few days, and what investigation have you done...
Please do not post your deep sleep complaints and ask for help in this thread. Only post input to a solution...
I've just force closed maps, hoping something changes - I will update soon enough.
Seems it might be the latest update for Music Timer Widget...
Do not install this app, as it constantly tracks your location, and also prevents deep sleep... Basic malware hidden in an otherwise useful app.
same happened to me and i found out GPS turned on itself and if you are lucky (like me) a google pop up appears which asks for your location if not selected anything than it turns on problem solved for me dont know about you
Hi
Try turning off "background data" and in "my locations" turn off "use wireless networks", then reboot and turn them back on. It worked for me.

Hi,
Whenever the "Use wireless networks" setting is on under "Location services", I get constant "nlpwakelocks" and battery drain.
However, I see that this was supposidely fixed by Google: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/29/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-10/ (my version is 4.3.11).
Does anyone else have this issue? I've only started looking into wakelocks and have had the phone 5 months and have never had better battery than with this option turned off. Yes the simple answer is "turn it off", but I find I can get location locks quicker with it on, and also my phone can locate me when indoors.
I use Google+ location services so I can locate trusted friends (and they can locate me), and previously Google Latitude, but surely they shouldn't be constantly requesting my location and Android should prevent this in someway?
Cheers.
I too suffered this issue (several times on different roms). Nlpwakelocks appeared in an insanely high abundance (several thousand wakelocks in a single day).
My first fix consisted of uninstalling all updates of google play, google services framework and google play services, clearing caches and deleting the data of the before mentioned in Appmanager, then do a reboot and re-install the updates again. Magically, the number of wakelocks dropped to a quite acceptable level. It still was the major cause of wakelocks, but it didn't drain the battery nearly as much as before. Since then, I had the "Use wireless networks" setting enabled without heavy battery drain. I could happily live with this result.
However, since I updated to 4.3 (CM 10.2), there's no longer a button to uninstall updates of those services in AppManager. Luckily though, clearing caches and data then reboot seems to suffice now.
The only caveeat seems to be google maps. Since the update, you need to be logged in to your google account to see your favorite places in google maps. Unfortunately, maps then begins to poll your location every few minutes, thus raising nlpwakelocks to an alarming level again.
Since I've not found a workaround for this yet, I always logout of google maps after use and login again when needed. Not very comfortable, but this way I'm still able to use Google Now while experiencing an acceptable battery life.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I've been having problems with deep sleep with wifi on at night, draining 100%->60% overnight.
I've been troubleshooting, and found out it's WLAN_RX_WAKE wakelock being toggled thousands of time overnight, so I set out to find the culprit.
With Shark for root, I noticed that there were 1-2 IP's that were mostly sending packets to my phone and googled them and it turns out the IP's belong to "GOOGLE".
In BBS, i noticed in data usage, that google search and google were the two apps using up data overnight (when I didn't touch my phone.)
So is it safe to say that google search is the cause of the sleep-deprivation my phone is getting? And did anyone else have similar problems? I don't necessarily want to freeze google search because I use it often enough for voice commands, but I guess I might have to if it's the culprit. Otherwise I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
More info: Location is off, no sync going on, no e-mail sync either, etc.
I'm running on stock 4.1.2 and mobile data is always turned off. "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Only when plugged in" so the phone should only connect to Wi-Fi when it's in use. It seems that the phone periodically connects to Wi-Fi even though it's been idle for extended periods (e.g. an hour) because it's able to deliver notifications (e.g. gmail and hangouts). Other Android devices that I have, including Nexus devices with the same settings don't deliver notifications until they are "awoken".
This might also explain where a lot of battery goes. Does anyone else experience this and does anyone know if other phones/brands/models behave like this?
I presume you got an app that keeps waking the phone up every so often. Which then enables Wi-Fi to activate. Or an app stopping your device from sleeping properly. If phone is on charge then Wi-Fi on all time.
Wrong forum by the way Q&A forum.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for posting in the wrong place.
I installed Wakelock Detector and I can seen numerous "CPU wakelocks" and "wakeup triggers" but no "screen wakelocks", so I didn't expect a Wi-Fi connection to be made unless I turned the screen on and started using the phone? Perhaps I misunderstand the meaning of "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep", especially the meaning of "sleep"? And, it still doesn't explain why other devices with the same apps installed don't behave this way. That's why I wondered if it was something to do with mods that Samsung have made to the software?

The meaning of "Sleep" in Android is when the CPU is in a mode called deep sleep, the device is set to a really low power setting so it will just run, apps can wake the device up ie take it out of deep sleep if they need to sync with a server, etc and this is what a wake lock up, an app waking the device up, and as the device is out of deep sleep for those few seconds it can switch wifi on, I personally keep wifi and mobile data on all the time so I don't know much about it.
Thanks, it looks like I have misunderstood the meaning of "sleep". I do have apps that would run periodically.
For example I use SugarSync, which I have set to only backup while on Wi-Fi and when the device is plugged in. I assume that it will have a timer set (or cron job in the old speak) so that the app can run and check for the required conditions before attempting to backup? I guess when this happens, Wi-Fi might connect and any other app that wants Wi-Fi (like Gmail or Hangouts) would take advantage of the connection? I suppose that my older devices (that run Android 2.3) might not have time to connect and so don't get the notifications that the Galaxy S3 does?
Hello! I bet you have seen this a heap of times. Well guess what, so have I. Alas, nothing has been found - I checked Android Central, the T-Mobile and AT&T websites and all sorts of other techy places but to no avail. So here I am, scavenging information, doing stuff to my phone - I am finally to the end point - writing a post myself.
So, heres my problem: awful battery and when I charge while using the phone, the battery goes DOWN!
Lets start with this
What I have done:
Factory reset
Cleared cache
Deleted every program (app)
Airplane mode
No sim card
Downgrade to 4.1.2
Rooted and calibrated battery
Full discharge to full charge
Now please check the eye candy down below in the attachments..
So.. What else?! It isn't a hardware problem because when it is turned off and charging, it seems to be fine.
Some system specs:
Galaxy S3
International
OmniRom 4.4 (btw, this ALSO has drain, I install hoping it wouldn't)
Wrong section just post in q& a section...
Install BBS and see what's eating your battery..

Go into Google Settings and Turn Location Reporting Off. If you want a more agressive power saving go into WiFi settings and turn Always Scanning Off.
Clean
I had this problem of the phone discharging while charging (no pun intended) and the only solution I found was to clean the phone's USB charging port with an Contacts cleaner Spray (the one that has a "pipe/tube", let it dry out and clean the usb plug likewise. That solved my problem. But mind you: my problem was phone discharging while charging

Thanks for the info. I did both, yet, noticing a little less awaking, it still drains when charging and rather abnormally when not and just using it. The only thing waking my phone up now seems to be Google Search? (in wake lock detector) Cant anyone explain that?
Install an app disable services and disable Google services which are active in background... But disable then one by one as it may affect your play store functionality...

using wake lock detector I noticed the apps name (google search) was com.google.android.googlequicksearch... but, using a service disabling app, I couldn't find that name under the system app ''google search'' tab?
*EDIT: I tracked all the wakelocks (ALL of them) and they lead to location services! Simply turning it off gives me no more wake locks. Not a permanent solution as I am completely unsatisfied, but a temporary one nonetheless. Going to keep monitoring battery as it seems to be fine, but I haven't nailed down the discharg while charging problem yet...
I get this daily notification to enable location services so it can update the network time even though I already have the system setting to update network time automatically.
It is coming from the phone as you can see and it still rings and vibrates even though i have them off.
I spent an hour on the phone with huawei today and they said it must be an app requesting the location which doesn't make sense to me as it says it is to update the network time (which I already have on).
I have never had a phone insist I turn on location services with a daily reminder before.
Just turn it on and leave it...it helps with many things that the phone does...maps, third party apps that find cell towers and WiFi hot spots, and of course what time zone you are in.
thanks, but I want to know how to stop the phone from asking me to turn it on every day, I don't want my gps on 24/7
Turn off automatic time and automatic timezone?

Any luck with this? I've got this damn annoying notification popping up every few hours or so too.... Have tried manual date and time adjustment. Also tried unticking all notifications managements within and it still shows up

Same here. On my mate 20 x. I googled this and found this thread.
Any luck?
I'm also experiencing this, I tried the same things as other posters here but still haven't found a way to stop this annoying daily notification. I'm on a Huawei P20 Pro.
Try turning off automatic time zone (whatever it's called in your settings)
Wrong.
I, too, am having this problem (also - as yet - without resolution) on Huawei.
I believe this problem (for me) is BECAUSE I have "automatic update" for Time/Clock turned off, and GPS turned off, BUT Google Services wants it/them turned on (by default). Indeed, I am lead to believe that you cannot remove Google Services from Android, while disabling Google Services is not effective. Love, Fred (not my real name).
