Hi all,
Long time since I posted here, but I'm at the limit of what I can effectively do so I'm looking for some help here and I believe this is a problem with the OS itself and how it handles shared settings and even with the Maps application, rather than being device specific.
First, specs:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (UK HSDPA+) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, completely stock and unrooted.
Asus Nexus 7 (also UK, though I'm not sure this makes a difference as the N7 has no GSM radio), Jelly Bean 4.1.1, completely stock and unrooted.
All apps are the latest versions.
Background: This problem has only existed as long as I have had the Nexus 7 in addition to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm 90% sure that the issue relates to the fact that I have location reporting enabled on the GNex and NOT on the Nexus 7. I'm signed into both devices with the same Google account. Occasionally one or the other will pick up the opposite one's settings with regards to location sharing, a PITA.
The problem: Ridiculous amounts of wakelocks caused by the Play Store, Maps and the Launcher. As you can see here (BetterBatteryStats pic included). imgur . com/ a/yz83J (I can't post the hyperlink because I've not posted 10 times yet.) This only seems to cause a problem on the Galaxy Nexus. I haven't noticed wakelocks or battery drain on the Nexus 7.
This absolutely drains my battery. If I kill off Play Store and Maps and clear all cache data then the wakelocks stop for a while.
The catch: I'd really rather not have to enable location reporting on the Nexus 7 to resolve this. The reason I have it turned off is that I have it on train WiFi a lot, which displays my location as wherever the connection terminates. E.g. for an entire journey from London to the north, my history for that day shows that I travelled the distance between every point on the route that my phone reported and London Euston station where the Nexus 7 was connected, in about 1 second. This led to my location history being an utter mess!
The question: Any ideas on getting this working as intended? If I can provide any more data let me know. I've already run an ADB output of my alarm manager stats and it's showing the same as the BetterBatteryStats info.
Really? No one here has any idea?
I confirmed it's a problem with location services by telling my devices not to automatically update their locations. This has instantly stopped the wakelock issues however I use the location services quite a lot for working out journey times as well as local searches.
Can anyone here familiar with these services offer any idea? Or is this something I need to submit to Google?
A common question I assume, but no good answers showed up on a quick search, everything was ad-hack, not really practical.
Since I got my SIII I've seen a large rise is the amount of data I'm using, also all of which is listed as Android OS and if I drill down it is all background. Is there a way to easily track down what is using so much background data? In my case the top app is Play with 51mb, but the Android OS background is at 2.8GB in 10 days, which is insane. Thus I'm looking for some way to break down what is using all of this data.
Thanks,
ERIC
settings/data usage shows a breakdown, or there are several apps on the market. Might be a Samsung account backing up data or Google, or drop box, piccassa web album, all these could use a fair bit, make sure they only synch on Wi-Fi, or ditch them, even better
My problem is that the it only shows up as Android OS and then if I select it as background data (none is foreground), all of that does not help as I still do not know the cause, I have setup blocks in Droidwall so that many Apps can only run on Wifi and according to the per app break down that's all fine (none exceed 50 or so megs) the problem is with background data usage by Android. I do have Kaspersky install, so I do not think it is coming from Malware, but .... starting to wonder if maybe a reinstall is in order, that's such a pain.
Current breakdown (1 day all in K unless stated otherwise):
Android OS: 238megs
Google Play Store: 1.48megs
Email: 774
GoogelServices: 152
Gmail: 133
Maps: 124
Google+ 80
Go Weather ex 70
...
so basically no app is using anything yet I've used 238megs.
Maybe it is a Google backup then, do you use that?
Thanks will try that (just disabled google sync),
I've tracked down it is a matter of large uploads normally 30 to 250 megs that occur in the over night hours (between 1Am and 6AM), but do not know the cause will see if that is it. Also odd that as the phone is connected to a Wifi connection during those hours, so it should not use any mobile data, also as if it is using mobile data when it should be using wifi, will see if I can verify whether this is the case or not tonight. I have 3g watchdog installed now so I can see if the traffic is wifi or cell.

Yep that was the problem, moving massive amounts of data and not using the Wifi connection, turned it off and poof all gone.
ERIC
Sorry to bring this back from the dead but what did you disable exactly?
I think disabling the google backup would help, coz enabling it makes app data back up to google servers. If there's an app with a lot of app data, it can eat up your data bandwidth.

Hi,
I am using KITKAT ported by Legacy Xperia. Me too facing same problem. From starting, I have not enabled data backup. Still, for 10 days, Android OS consumed 9.5MB data. Look high side for me as I have only 500MB data / month.
Kindly let me know the solution.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy
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
[APP][2.1+][16 Apr. - V1.13.4] BetterBatteryStats - thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
you can use traditional battery savers (i didn't recommend)
I do use greenify together with bbs (paid app - to full hibernate and extras, but very good - the "engine" is different, doesn't kill or freeze, but hibernate system (need root) or users apps. @oasisfeng created a smart and reliable engine - support him
[APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.85 beta 6 (Updated on Jun.6)

increase my battery and decrease unnecessary wakelocks ... excellent results ...

best regards,
I've been using Betterbatteystats, trying to find the culprit for the sever battery drain on my S3. I have disabled Google Now & the location settings but even though the battery has gotten better, it's still draining pretty quickly. I'm receiving a lot of wakeups from Google play service & android system. I have cleared the cache, stopped Google Play service but is still a issue. I have more then four pics I would like to upload from my card but it seems like the max is four. If anyone knows how I can upload more, please let me know thanks.

Anyone?
Hello,
So the day s10+ comes out is the day this freaky huawei software started to act funny!
Somehow I went down from 8+ SOT to less than 4, on the second charge I checked the battery usage and WOW! An app called huawei data management services is just running in the background and eating as much as a heavy game like future fight from my battery
What is this?? Anyone faced this issue? Is there a fix or huawei is just not happy with how much they frustrate us with the sh!ty EMUI and Decided to give us another present to make our choice much worse?
It's part of the android system process, what you could try is clearing the cache regularly I have done this before and I see a huge difference.
You can also try disabling the powergenie application There's a thread in here on how to do it.
If I don't clean up my cache I get 11 minutes before dropping to 99%
If I clean the cache I can get up to 43 minutes before dropping to 99%
Android system processes
Clearing cache didn't help
The problem still there. Anyone can help?
Yeah something isn't right now, put my phone down at 96% on the table, picked up 4 hours later it's at 85%
Android system & Kernel the two biggest issues over 6% Everything else had less than 1% to 0% used.

Someone who reported the same problem on his P20 Pro said restoring his phone to factory settings fixed it.
But if it's caused by corrupted system data you would need to set up your phone as new rather than restore from a backup (including a Google Cloud Backup) because the backup could restore the system data that is causing your problem.
I think Huawei Data Management Services is similar to Google Play Services and that apps (including downloaded third party apps) use the process to sync data so a misbehaving app could cause the issue without showing up in the battery monitor as causing drain.
You could also try turning off Huawei Share to verify that it isn't causing your problem.
What is annoying is battery/app launch 3 dots.... launch record's
I see apps being launched by other applications that I haven't even used in the last few hours, even when I have set secondary launch off for those apps.
Apps are also being launched when launch on Start up is deactivated.
Mate 20 pro battery drain
Help! My Mate 20 Pro is a battery draining monster. Huawei Data Management is taking over 30% of my consumption. I've tried factory data reset twice, but no improvement. Please help!
Clearing cache is not going to fix anything. Hasn't since probably Gingerbread.
In fact it just chews more resources to rebuild that cache.
I got this issue two update ago. Now on .243. I did a factory reset and set up my phone from scratch. No restores from Google drive or Huawei phone clone. The issue is gone since. Battery as good as ever.
Hello,
I have the same issue. Any way to solve it without restore ?
Thanks
Use Assistant for Android to kill the process at startup
Hi,
You can install Assistant for Android
to kill the process at startup. Open the app, select startup manager, go to system processes and select Huawei data manager. Restart and voila.

Had the same issue after 9.1 update. Before no drain was presented. Now huawei data management services have got 30% of total battery cinsumptiin.
What i have done so far just trying to fix the issue :
1. Re install update via erecovery, 2 times
2. Hard reset. Once with restoring from huawei backup, next time almsot from the scratch
3. Deleted all photos/videos from the device (more than 15k files)
4. Uninstall huawei backup
5. Clear cash in recovery mode
No results at all!! This fu***g huawei data management services come again and again! I have to charge the Phone by 14- 15 am, when it droppes down to 25-30% of battery with 1.5 - 2 SOT only...
This just drives me crazy! No idea what to do next!
Ps
Was watching note 10 presentation by Samsung tonight... Seems to be good, note plus has 4300 mah battery... Start to think...
Same thing here.

Hi, seems i did found this little bastard. Not sute it makes me happy, but ready to share :
So far in my case huawei data management services starts eating battery just after i switch on calendar sync with my work office 365 account. And it not depends on which calendar apps i am using on device. I tried it with huawei built in calendar app, with Google calendar and with Business calendar pro. As soon as i turn on sync with work calendar account heawei data services starts eating the batt. Once calendar sync being turned off huawei data services stops..
Other interesting thing is it just about calendar sync, email sync with same account not triggering batt drain. So i suppose that huawei broke sometging in 9.1 in cal sync mechanizm, sync before it works without problem. Will try to send notice to them
Hope it helps. Try to stop cal sync if you have one.
Regards
Sergey
I had the same problem - and for me that cal sync fix (@sergey1974x) solved it. Thank you so much!

Thanks, Sergey! Do you mean automatic synchronization option? I see that one under Users & Accounts / Google / Calendar. It seems helpful, but then a Google calendar does not function. I suspect maybe a stock app is glitchy. Have you tried to remove an access to calendar for the stock app and keep it only for a Google app?
Hi all,
I had the same issue as described by others here under 9.1.0.310. Did factory reset and clean setup but the issue was back after a couple of hours.
As I also have a spare Pixel 3xl I finally decided to remove one of the 2 SIM cards from the Mate to put it in the Pixel. I subsequently noticed that the power consumption of the mate was back to normal. Can't even see Huawei data management any more in the battery stats whereas before it was in 1st position with over 25%.
I did some more testing and it turns out that for me it was the "Dual 4G/LTE SIM card" and "swap LTE connection during calls" sliders in the SIM management menu (free translation of the menu names as I run French UI).
I'm now back to normal consumption with 2 SIM cards in the device but above sliders set to off and data on SIM 1 only.

Hi, thats defenitely not an app issue. I tried several apps like native Huawei calendar, Google and business pro calendar. As soon as i am turning on sync with my work exchange or office 365 account - Huawei data management services starts eating the bat. Once sync turned off - Huawei data management stops. And its only about exchange accout, once Gmail account cal is syncing no problem at all.
I rolled back to 9.0 - issue dissaoered, all was good for 2 days.. . But then Phone self - installed 9.1 overnight. Same **** today so its really 9.1 issue. Hope they will fix next versions...
