For a few days now I've noticed a massive battery drain of Google maps, up to 60 per cent of the battery use, without evening opening the app (must have been running in the background). I have temporarily disabled the app on my phone, but am I the only person with this problem?

Make sure the "Location reporting" (in Google Maps settings) is disabled if you don't want the battery drain. Moreover, Google Now activates the Location reporting so you might have to disable Google Now as well...
P.s: this post should be in Q&A section, doesn't it ?

I have google now disabled all the time, and the location reporting was unchecked too.. Besides that, even if that had been activated, it shouldn't have taken 60% of my total battery (I had about 70% of my total battery left when I noticed it today), should it?
(...and yes, this one should be in the Q&A section, hadn't thought about that when I posted it though...)
I had the same issue. I turned all location reporting off and turned off Google now, also made sure GPS was off. All that helped a fair amount but Maps still kept running in the background even though I'd never used the app. In the end I used an app called Greenify to hibernate maps and a bunch of other background apps and it made a world of difference. Use wakelock detector to see which apps are causing wakelocks and disable any you don't need running.

use an extension car battery so it can add battery life even for month, just make sure you will get the same voltage
Its coz of google location services bug that HTC phones are having after the update.
If you are interested about it: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ssues-for-htc-owners-google-working-on-a-fix/
In short:
Only location service thats working if you have this bug, is gps. Rest of locations services (wifi, mobile newtwork etc.) wont work.
Who couses it? - latest updates for google services.
How to fix it? - atm google is working on fix. There is some type of user fixes you can try. (see post).
Hope it explains your drain. I have this bu and i get this unusual drain from maps too.

How do I completely freeze this service using T backup pro?
I freezed Gtalk 1.0.3 the app, but using Betterbatterystats reveal that gtalk_async_conn still resulting in partial wakelock timing
I have also noticed this.
Anyway we can stop it?
Still no solution? GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is my main Partial Wakelock in the Betterbatterystats (KH3 firmware) and heavy battery drainer with about 60 min of activity during 8 hours...
same problem with me...and no one on Google does not have a solution for this.
installed 'Better Battery Stats' to see what was keeping the phone up and it's "gtalk_async_conn". The thing is that I don't even use Google Talk. I tried to disable auto-login and freeze it with Titanium Backup without any luck. The only thing that worked was to disable 'Background data' but other apps like Market needs that option on.
Literally everyone appears to have this problem, i actually froze Talk in Titanium and have had no problems but is this Gtalk_async_conn related to this or what?
This problem persist more with google Maps 5.8, 5.9 version. I uninstalled the google maps and noticed that problem was solved, issue was not present anymore in wakelock of batterbatterystats. However it's not permanent solution.
same prob here. would be nice if s.o. has a solution
I also uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup) and it helped for a while -- got really minimal battery drain for several hours. But now the problem is back so I'm wondering if it might also be related to Market or Gmail.
I would say this is the answer.
ANSWER
And it would explain why everyone has it.
That post might explain what it is, but it's not very helpful at solving the issue.
I turned off notifications in Market (some versions don't have this setting; try Market 3.1.3). If it still doesn't help then I am going to try turning off Gmail sync.
Turn off all syncing (gmail, calander, etc), turn off background data and you may have it disappear, also don't use anything that uses google c2d push notifications.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I did the following:
- Uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup)
- Turned off notifications in Market (using Market 3.1.3)
- Turned off Google accounting syncing for everything except Gmail (background data / auto-sync still enabled)
Partial wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN are now very low. Just a couple of seconds over 15+ hours of low use.
However I think I still have some battery drain (based on Battery Monitor Widget) so I am looking at other possibilities.

Totally valid point. But I have also tried running it with Battery Monitor Widget turned off and I still see the same drain (by looking at the battery history graph).
Also while experimenting, I had a couple of hours where Battery Monitor Widget continuously reported -1mA battery discharge (while Battery Monitor Widget was running of course). The battery history graph was basically flat. So that tells me that I can still run Battery Monitor Widget and get minimal battery usage -- if everything else is working right.
In the Better Battery Stats thread, the developer says his target battery discharge is -2mA to -10mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). I know it's possible because I've gotten it before, but lately I'm somewhere around -70mA so that's what I've been working on.
Getting great battery life now with the Gtalk_async_conn issue seemingly gone. I still have Maps removed -- luckily I do not need it much these days. I also notice that Market likes to stay running in the background, where it uses some CPU time even with notifications disabled. Also, turning on Google Calendar auto-sync caused significant battery drain.
Quick summary:
- Uninstall/freeze Maps
- Kill Market if it's running in the background
- Turn off Google account syncing for everything except Gmail
- Turn off "Back up my data" under Privacy settings
I was at about 50% battery after 20 hours. I am running Cognition 1.5.1 with SpeedMod kernel.

It's good to know that these mods work, but they are pretty extreme for me, and I would assume many others. I actively use the functionality of Maps and other Google account syncing. I hope that someone can work out a way to minimize the usage without cutting off the functionality completely.
For what it's worth, I see a dramatically higher usage of the GTALK process when I am at work where some of the syncs are blocked on the office wifi. Out of the office on 3G or at home, the amount of time GTALK is active is significantly reduced.
Atrix here but same issue. I agree if turning off syncs is the way to go, I might as well buy a dumbphone
I agree it's annoying. But the battery life improvement is dramatic, even more so than I mentioned in my earlier post. I used to get <20 hours per charge. Now I get about 3 days. Hopefully these are just bugs in the apps that Google will fix in future versions.
Not sure what is causing it. I have turned off auto-sync, logged out of gtalk, and even turned off "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" from Settings>Privacy.
I still notice 1-2 minutes of partial wakelocks.
Try killing Market if it is running.
In general, battery on the GS4 is great. One thing I and a friend have noticed is that even without touching the Maps app, navigation, or really anything Map related, our Maps battery usage shows between 12-20% across a day. Any idea what is going on there? Google Services is the only non-Screen item above it, at around 20-25% as well, but that seems more reasonable.
Thanks!
In my experience, it might be Google Now doing a little bit of over work if you're doing some traveling...
If you go into the Google Maps settings, make sure location sharing and location history are off. If they're on, it will rack up battery usage while the phone is on.
Note, this will disable a couple things in Google Now, but it still does everything I need.

Make sure to disable google latitude location if enabled.
go into Maps, settings, uncheck "Report from this device"
Thanks, trying those out. I want to make sure I don't disable Google Now though so I will see what happens.
It's probably just downloading all the maps info for your area. If it's still sucking up that much battery a week later, then worry.
And yes, turning those off does disable the location-based alerts in Now.
I think caching was the answer. Didn't even see it register today with all GPS options on.

What do you mean caching? I have it set to wifi only and there are no checkboxes in this section of the maps app.
I got my Verizon S4 at launch and went on vacation. I went to bed with the battery in the upper 90%s and woke up 7hrs later with the battery at 65%. Does this mean the maps app was downloading the maps around my area while I was sleeping?
Battery Usage: 33%
CPU total: 7m28s
Stay awake: 42m41s
I had "report from this device" under "background location reporting" enabled, but now I only have "Enable location history" on. Maybe this will help? Do I need both off? Does Google Now need both enabled or only one? Thanks.

turning both off will help with battery life, but enabling it is required for "location based" cards in google now. Things like Places near by, weather, public transits around you, all require those location options to be enabled. Problem is, once they are enabled, especially the Report from This Device option, the phone constantly wakes up and checks its location. It's a huge drain on battery.
Hi, I have a stock i9300, rooted.
About 3 days ago, I noticed that my device, which normally gets through a day comfortably, was running out of juice by early afternoon.
I've checked the data usage meter and it shows that Google Services is doing something with data constantly. It's not a lot of data (500MB over 7 days) but it's enough to keep my "H+" showing data uploading and downloading all the time, which is not normal behaviour.
As a result of this, the battery is running dry. Even when plugged in, the charging isn't keeping up and eventually the battery runs out, and I have to leave the phone off for a bit to recharge.
I have since turned off background data for Google Services, and I'm hoping this works, although I don't know what I'm going to lose in terms of functionality as a result of doing that.
But I'd like to know what the problem is and why this has suddenly happened as it's really bugging me. Hoping someone else has experienced this. I have searched for other threads on this topic, all refer to battery drain but I don't seem to have the same issue. If I look at my battery stats I'm not seeing Google Services at the top of the list like others. Mine is more to do with data.
Cheers,
Pete
I cant answer why or what it is, but one thing I did notice wasted a lot of battery for me (other than google now of course) was the google backup. You know the one you tick when you first go through the set up wizard on the phone? "Backup this device with google".

hi,
if you have various system or user apps wakelocks, first do a monitoring it with your favorite battery monitor and analysis tool to details.
gmail, google services, backup, sync contacts, other syncs google plus, etc, localization services, call direct or indirectly other apps, bringing more wakelocks (partial, kernel, network - your case I think) ... and more battery drains ... facebook is a classic example ... hungry app
Wakelocks - read it ... enlight your questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Wakelocks
to monitorate and analyse the battery consumption, drain, and wakes use BetterBatteryStats - bbs

[GUIDE]Tips to Improve your android battery life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144661
best regards,
Bear with me. If you are an expert on android maybe you can help me out here. First off, I have researched the crap out of this problem and still been unable to fix it, so YES, I did search before making this thread.
I am on a stock, rooted Verizon Galaxy S4. I have been watching my battery consumption carefully via the integrated battery settings menu, battery stats plus and wakelock detector apps. Mainly, there is a program or set of programs that typically is called "Google Services" that according to the integrated battery menu is consuming anywhere between 20-45% of my battery, sometimes more than the screen on time! My battery life is around 48hrs with 10hrs screen time but that is on the massive zerolemon 7500mah battery which I just bought, so I am not sure if that is above, below or just average (i.e. I have no real standard by which to judge).
Like I said I have read probably every thread about this problem with remedies such as; disable location, turn off google now, turn off google maps reporting, uninstall updates for google play/google play services/google framework settings, turn off google sync etc. I have tried them ALL, none seem to work. I have a feeling the issue is perhaps more in depth and above my head.
It gets more complicated. Although the stock android integrated battery menu reports it as using a massive amount of battery, the other two apps I mentioned above do not even report it, or at least not under a name that I regonize (perhaps that categorize it under a different process?). Under them screen time is by far the highest consumer.
So what to make of this? Is it a false report that the stock integrated android battery menu is reporting, and thus something to disregard? I doubt that because there are many other threads out there of people with the same problem and questions I have. But It's also not like my battery drains within hours. For instance, today I have been off the charge for 12.5hrs, with 3hrs and 40min of screen time and have 63% remaining on the 7500mah zerolemon extended battery.
If you can help, please do. If this is indeed a major drain I would really like to fix it.
EDIT: Maybe I should have posted this in the general S4 forum?
Make sure you're running the most recent version of the Play Store, version 4.1.10. There was an issue with the previous version that was causing battery drain. Just do a search for the most recent play store .apk file and install it with the package installer.

Yes! I saw this recommendation a million times. I was runing 4.1.6, which without much thought I assumed was newer than 4.1.10 (I interpreted the .10 to be a one instead of ten). But after your post it "clicked" for me, so I manually updated the play store and will see after the next charge whether it worked. Thanks again.

If it were me, I would next try flashing the no-wipe stock image from open1your1eyes0. I'm pretty sure that will fix your issue while leaving your apps & settings intact. It'll save you a lot of time and aggrevation as well.
I've been having a similar problem as well where every day google services seem to take up about 40% of my battery... I just updated to 4.1.10 play store and unchecked the Wifi & Mobile Network location in location setting yesterday evening. let see if this helps... today 3 hrs with no Google Services in my battery reading yet...

Well, I may have spoken too soon with my above post. As soon as I unplugged my phone earlier today I saw google services eating up the majority of my battery. But of course that only accounted for 1 or 2 minutes as I had just unplugged it. As the day progressed the amount used by google services did go up but not by as much as it previously had. So perhaps the update of google play store to 4.1.10 did work.
Currently, after being off the charger for 8hrs with about 1hr of screentime google services has used up 9% of the battery, which although not where I'd hoped is still much better than before.

well thats progress. As for myself, 1hr 27m screentime and 1 hr 40m voice call and off the charger for 10hrs 30mins. currently the battery is at 65% with no Google Services usage in sight. This is with Wifi, bt, and gps all enabled.
Go to data usage and tap on EACH program you do not need to have running background data and disable the background data. I only leave things unchecked like google play and services, email, just only a couple of things needed to get your messages. I freeze maps untill i need them and only have google location service on and gps and VZW off obviously. I only have email sync once an hour and only work email as i manually check for personal email.
Do that and your google services will behave. Android System never goes above 2% and Android OS is never above 5% unless im using wifi and such then it might creep up to about 9% after a few hours. Nothing else is ever above 9% unless its screen or device idle or cell standby.
Well, according to the stock battery report google services is still eating up my battery at 34% usage at 2h 19m. I unplugged 13h ago and used 2h 42m of screen time and am down to 28%.
BatteryStatsPlus reports google services as "Google Account Management", and although it says it has used the same time (2h 19m), it reports it as having used 6.42%. So I wonder if this is an issue of the stock battery report being too high, or whether google services really does consume 34%?
I'd really prefer to not start flashing things or wiping the phone. I hate messing with it and although I rooted it that is as far as I'd like to go. But that google play store 4.1.10 update didn't work.
With my phone largely idle, Google Play Services is consuming 40-50% of the power and seems to be stopping the phone sleeping. The net_scheduler wakelock is the biggest culprit causing up to around 800,000 wakelocks in a day. It got to the point where I couldn't get through a day of minimal usage without recharging during the afternoon. I don't use Google+, I have turned off location services and disabled Google books, movies, games, search and google+ apps. I still have sync enabled for Google apps data, calendar, chrome, contacts, gmail and internet but I have disabled sync for drive, Fit data, people and picasa which I don't use anyway.
The problem was worse when I was using Exchange Services to sync with my work email and calendar. Turning off email sync helped a bit but Google Play Services activity still seemed to ramp up and stay high when I had a calendar appointment in Outlook, even with the sync period set to manual. So I have now removed the Exchange account completely.
I am aware that Exchange Services seems to be a common problem, something to do with the version of the Exchange server? Anyway that is not within my control. The serious battery drain started maybe 4 weeks ago and Exchange Services was responsible for most of it. Having eliminated that, its now Google Play, which also seems to be a common problem but usually NlpWakeLock? My phone is currently showing it has been kept awake 1h51m by Google Play Services since this morning, and 1h39m of that is net_scheduler (435409 wakelocks). GSam battery monitor shows almost continuous background activity even when I am not using the phone. The highest battery usage per app is by Google Play Services at 27%, the next highest is Kernel at 9%.
The battery drain seems to be worse when I am at work, where the signal is poor and I am on wifi but that has always been the case. I also use wifi at home. I turn off mobile data while at work to try and reduce battery usage. Other than changes to reduce battery drain I haven't changed anything on my phone for ages and I haven't updated or installed anything new, although I think Google Play automatically updated itself a few weeks ago.
What is net_scheduler and how do I stop it or Google Play killing my battery?

Thank you in advance for anyone's help!

its my problem too , fk my battery ! plz help ...
Same problem. Recently, battery has been draining crazy fast in standby. Wakelock detector shows this net scheduler causing 263,000 wakelocks over only 4 hours standby and lost about 25% battery doing nothing. Android 4.3 on sony xperia sp.
Using OS monitor app, Android system and google services framework are consuming 60% cpu power when phone is just idle.
Google are a bunch of idiots.
---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------
To fix, find Google Services Framework and clear data and cache. Instantly fixed the problem. CPU usage by Android system and Google framework dropped to 0 and wakelocks have stopped increasing.
I highly recommend the app OS monitor, let's you put a permanent notification which shows top 3 things consuming cpu power.
Before Clearing Framework (this was non-stop, even restarting didn't help)
After
problem has returned, google, you suck.
Hi, I have the same issue like you. I disabled some services of google play services and I was thinking that that was the reason of wakelock *net_scheduler*, but it isn't, because I flashed new ROM with all services enabled but *net_scheduler* is draining my battery again. Its strange that is showing it randomly, I mean some day I don't have that wakelock and the next day I have it. Really strange.
If anyone knows more about it please answer.
Hey,
I have the same issue. Since the last GPS update wont even last a day. I found also that the GPS are responsible and in my case its also the *net_scheduler* service. It is pretty active. I already tried a few things from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
But so far nothing helped. It drains the battery really fast, yesterday my battery went from 50% to 30% in 20 min. That sucks.
If someone found a fix please post it here
Tried uninstalling google play services update, everything fine. Then updated it via play store and within a few minutes of update noticed phone was getting hot and laggy again. Same issue, something is going on with google play services causing massive wakelocks and high cpu usage. Currently at 1.4 million net_scheduler wakelocks in past 18 hours. Had to recharge twice even though phone barely used.
For no obvious reason, since yesterday I don't appear to be having the problem with Google Play Services any more. I haven't done anything to the phone, I am in the same location, nothing has changed on my end as far as I know unless I have inadvertently done or not done something that I normally do or don't do. In any case the problem appears to have gone away, or maybe it is just dormant waiting to drain my battery when I least expect it...
Something broken on the Google servers that they have now fixed?
Yep its fixed itself, there was an update on 18th June. The version with problems was 7.5.71 now its 7.5.74
Used my phone without google play services for a day and it actually doesn't affect much. You can still use play store, chrome but most other google apps won't work. Snaptube can be used as youtube replacement. If you can live without hangouts,gmail etc I'd recommend just removing it completely, save any future headaches.
Hmmm... I still have Google Play Services 7.5.71. Strangely Google Play Store says it has no connection, even though I am on wifi and other apps can connect fine. Maybe that's why it hasn't been able to hammer my battery?
What is the relationship, if any, between GP Services and GP Store?

I got the no connection on play store after clearing google framework cache. Had to reboot phone to fix it. Could be why the issue has stopped for you as I noticed it did too after clearing framework at first.
Completely uninstall google play services, it will reset to factory default. Re-enable it and launch a google app such as youtube. It will prompt you to update and bring you to google play services page on play store where latest version will be downloaded.
Google Play Services updated itself over the weekend to 7.5.74, lets hope this one fixes the battery drain for me. I never get any option to update or not, the only reason I know it updated is because I have an app that automatically backup up any app that gets installed, so I can revert to the previous version if an update causes problems. I did try reverting GPS but installation of the previous version failed.
Anyway, is there any way to stop Google services updating automatically? I can't find anything in the settings. I have Play Store set not to update automatically but that doesn't seem to make any difference. When google play services updates I don't get redirected to the Play store, it just installs the update without asking me.
Follow these hints next time.
Anyone else still having this issue? It's issuing a lot of wakelocks for me (Marshmallow/TouchWiz Note 4)

Yep same for me (TW MM Note 4). Amplify shows *net_scheduler* to be by far biggest wakelock, which is what brought me to this thread. Google Play Services now at at v9.4.52. Hmmm.
