First of all here is what I am running on my S4. Hyperdrive RLS7. Ok that it. lol.
So I have been having battery drain on my S4 and these wakeups logged all from Google Play and or Google services. I've tried many fixes (clear app data/cache/disable/uninstall updates/shutdown, update to the newest version, media scan fix via hyperdrive settings) and none of them work. I know others have this problem and wanted to consolidate more info on this if there is a solution. Here are some pictures to show the troubles i am having w/ google services taking my precious battery life.

I seen the same issue and clearing data, uninstalling updates, reboot and reinstall resolved it for me, both on the stock ROM and hyperdrive.
Not much Help I know since you have already done that sounds like. But it did take care of it for me.

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.
I'm trying to use the new video feature on instagram. I'm able to view others videos but when I try to record a video it doesn't save my progress. It starts over and shows this message.

To verify that its not a rom issue I wiped and reflashed Black Jelly Beta...I also wiped and flashed Alpha and Padawan JB 2. I get the same results with all three.
I'm not sure if its a app issue or a problem with my phone. If anyone has any advice, I'd really apreciate it.
Thanx in advance

Someone over in the Q&A section had the same complaint. It sounds like the app isn't ready for prime time yet. Did any version of the app work for you?

No I have not been able to record video since they added the feature. I sent an email to instagram support but haven't heard anything. Surprise...surprise...

+1 to the list, getting same issue. If I run instagram on a non touchwiz rom and try to use the camera, the phone freezes. Finally able to get it up and running on a TouchWiz rom with camera working, but video issue is the same for me (won't let post, seems to record but then starts over asking to record up to a certain point)
I've had exact issue and it still hasn't been addressed almost a week later....
same here
Sucks that this issue still hasn't been fixed by instagram. Read reviews from play store and every single Note 1 user cannot use video feature. I bet if all these people would only rate only 1 star it would be addressed and fixed.

So this has happened twice now. First on MeanBean and now on Sense 5 Port. Well here's my story
I wake up, then 3 hours later my battery life is dead. Looked at the battery consumption and usage and it was in fact Google Services.. again. I don't know how I fixed it the first time, but damn its annoying and it overheats my phone like no other. Is there a way to fix it?
Searching online I found that factory resets and all that work, as well as disabling google now, done both but still nothing. Do I just wait it out?

Clear data in Google play services and play store, then head to sync and accounts and turn Google sync off, reboot your phone, once the system is loaded go back and re-enable sync and wait for everything to sync, all of the Google services that you have selected should have a green checkmark, open play store and make sure you have the latest version... After that you should be good...

I mentioned this in the original sense 5 thread, but check your playstore version. If it is below 4.1.10, then search for a more recent version. I think there is a leaked version of 4.2.3. That should do it.
Anyone else get an alert from Google to uninstall Themer today? The alert said that the app may try to trick users into typing in their passwords. Any thoughts/news?
It appears it is some sort of false-positive: https://twitter.com/ThemerApp/status/461549169711144961

Keep up the great work. Themer runs great on my phone (RAZR HD) and I haven't had any battery life issues with it.
Hello,
Sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place, however I don't know where else to try.
Since yesterday evening, I have some strange cpu and battery stats on my rooted Galaxy S6 device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These stats appear on top of everything, including my secure lockscreen, camera, etc, which makes me think this is some hidden Android feature.
The reason why I'm posting is: I personally didn't enable this, I've had some guests yesterday, but none of them is really tech-savvy, and I don't have any additional apps installed since yesterday.
Does anybody have any idea what this is and how to disable it?
Thanks
It's of an app installed on your device, AccuBattery, check it's settings, or uninstall it if you don't need it.

Wow, I feel like a complete idiot.
Apparently, after I bought accubattery, I didn't notice that I had new options available in it's menu.
Someone must have turned the on.
For reference, anyone else who gets this - in Accubattery, open up the main menu and you have Overlay Settings. That's where you can enable or disable the overlay statistics.
The weird thing is that they will appear on top of everything, which can seen confusing, and rather annoying.
