I finally figure it out, what drains my battery. In accusettings it shows that Google services consumes a lot. I tried different Google play services - fixes. Nothing worked. Till I discovered that my calendar triggered Google services a lot. But the calendar app wasn't the problem, I enabled battery saving option (found in liquidsmooth rom e.a.): it disables autosync when screen off and so the calendar tries over and over again to sync....
I just had to disable batterysaving..
I would recommend installing CyanogenMod 11 Nightly :good:

Hi, i have this problem all the time. When ever i flash a new rom GOOGLE C2DM and CHECKIN SERVICES GOOGLE will cause wakelock and the only way i found to disable this is to go into titanium and freeze google calendar sync and google contact sync. All this is on top of me already disabling google backup service in settings. Anyone know why i have this problem?
P.s when i say wakelock i mean serious battery drain, like 10% in 20mins

Just a guess:
Have you wiped cache partition in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power)?
If have CWM recovery mode, try to clear Dalvik cache (for the Java VM) too.
This helped me sometime ago with a Google Talk issue.
Good luck !
Hi,
I also have the same issue, Checkin Service wakelock every ~4 seconds,
Could you tell me how to fix it?
My issue occurred right after I updated to XWLP7 via Samsung Kies, I had wiped cache partition once via recovery, but didn't help..
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Sorry if this has been described before, I found several threads relating to battery drain -- but no workable solution.
Using CM10.1 nighties, I observe a permanent battery of up to 3% per hour, so the tablet does not last terribly long. I can reduce this to 1-3% per day by turning off "allow access to location" and/or syncing of all google accounts (mail/contacts/calendar...). This is reproducible (with the exception that location service can be kept on occasionally), so the battery drain is triggered by the google account sync.
Its just, that I like having my contacts and appointments synced to the tablet, so I wonder, is there a solution to reduce power drain and keeping google services alive?
Thank you.
To those of you who are getting over a day of battery life, do any of you have Google maps latitude location reporting on ?
My phone has been unplugged for about 45 mins and maps is already on top of the list of wake lock detector.
I have it off and am getting about a day under fairly heavy use.

I have the basic Location services on but GPS off obviously and i have maps frozen untill i need it (Maps is NUTS with wakelocks) and background data off along with everything else that shows up under data usage. All background off but email, hangouts, google services, play store, weather, gmail, or anything else i need for alerts i need to get. So all music, youtube, es file ex, goo manager, dropbox, has all background data off.
I also only use Air call-accept and quick glance as my only air, motion or smart screen options on. I'm getting 5+ hours of screen time on. I hope telling you what i do helps if your trying to get better battery life.
Turned it off from reporting. Wonder how i can add it to the greenify app list. Might have to convert to user app
In general this is a well-documented problem, but it hit my DNA only after the most recent OTA. I am surprised no one brought this up here.
If you enable Google Location Services in settings, Google Services will proceed to initiate hundreds of wake locks and turn the GPS on for something like 15 minutes per day, resulting in much downgraded battery life. It will do it regardless of whether you use Google Now or anything else for that matter. Basically it appears Google has decided to keep track of the phone's location on a minute by minute basis as a default option.
The way to turn this off is to disable Google Location Services under Settings - Location and by setting to "off" Google apps location access in Settings - Accounts & Sync - Google - Location Settings. As far as I know this also kills Google Now and your location in Google Maps.
However, to use Google Maps only occasionally, I am not willing to pay the price of a permanently crappy battery life and be subject of so much spying.
If you are rooted there is a way to turn the location services on automatically with Tasker when you run Maps. I am on un-rooted stock, so that doesn't work for me. Another option is to use MapQuest or any other third party maps app.
Any other ideas / suggestions are welcome.

When checking the apps that use up the batttery, look at Google services and the apps that call it. Then go one by one and clear data and cache for each app then reboot.
Google services went from the 2nd most battery draining item (just after screen) to nearly the bottom.
battery consumed by google play services is almost half of it..i am really not able to understand what to do. i have searched forums regarding this but i did not understand exactly what to do.my phone became sluggish.its rooted stock firmware running 4.3 android.i am new to this.could any one help me out in resolving this issue.also i saw a solution which says update play services.how to update?
Use app called disable services from play store.
And turn off Google services
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...
This would break google services right? So no more sync gmail and such?
No I m using it for a very long time and it doesn't affect any functionality for Gmail or play store.
Don't know about Google now.
If you use that just check after you disable a particular service.
Don't disable network location and fused location service they are needed for maps to work.

Disabling a critical service can have negative impact. I would recommend Greenify donation package for this since it only hibernates the service and it can start when needed. You will need xposed for Greenify's experimental feature to work

I don't know if this is related but I tried that app to disable services and disabled all the services in google play services.
Gmail and others didn't work, so I enabled them again just like it was before, but now I'm getting a "can't sync contacts" problem in the google account sync panel in preferences...
Seems only contacts is having problems when syncing. Everything else syncs perfectly.
What should I do?
I tried deleting my google account and then adding it again, but no luck.
