Observing this issue since i got my Nexus 6P, Google Play services are always on top of the list on battery consumption.
If you check details of consumption - it shows mobile radio active for too much hours even if mobile is on idle mode. You can see wakelocks even when the screen is off.
Observation: I don't use wifi unless i have to install some app or download some games data, for other things I rely on my 3G data of 1GB. But I have observed consumption of that got increased with Nexus 6P - it's (1GB) hardly lasting for 10 days. Actually I am not using data as much I use to in my Galaxy S3, even then its consumption is very high.
Something is always running in background which is consuming this data.
I guess it is google play services which is consuming this huge data.
Is anyone else observing this (If somebody observed very closely on battery & data consumption) ?
Seems extremely strange... Have you checked what background services are set to sync? I mean mine is active sync on every option possible and I never experience huge consumption.

I have all sync On as I don't want any app to not sync with server and even on my last galaxy S3 I use to do that.
On my nexus 6P (Not-rooted yet), i have installed greenify to hibernate few apps as well like - Facebook or any other app which normally run in background even then there is no improvement i can see on battery or data consumption.
I am sure if this Google Play services some how goes down in battery consumption list then this data consumption issue will automatically get resolved and battery as well.

My battery life has always been great; usually around 30% remaining when I go to bed.
Just in the last few days however I noticed it draining very fast with minimal usage.
Tonight, I'm down to 65% after just 4 hours (25mins screen on with lowest brightness and about 6 text massages, 20 what's app messages recieved, 1 missed call)
I have a CONSTANT wakelock mostly from *network-location-cell-update*, please see the screen shots.

The only thing I've done differenty recently is switch from Launcher Pro to Go Launcher (since changed back due to battery issue) and installed a few games from the Humble Bundle.
Latitude is always switched off and I have no facebook, twitter or push email.
Although *network-location-cell-update* seems to have a huge wakelock, it looks liek it's only used 4% of the total battery....
I'm really confused!
probably been answered somewhere else but try switiching off "use wireless networks" in location and secruity
I always used to leave that switched on with no problems; however because of this problem I have switched it off the last few days and it doesn;t resolve anything.
I don;t understand how this issue can just crop up out of no where...
Do you use latitude? Turn it off it's a battery killer. I think i've seen that exact same wakelock while using latitude.

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
So hi guys!
I have a question regarding the location service of JB. I'm talking about the google location service over wireless connection - not gps.
I have two devices - both running jelly bean. I have Google now completely disabled also i ticked off location history, i simply want to use location for stuff like weather apps and maps, so i see where i am when i open the map.
I have this feature enabled since i was running Froyo on my Desire back in the days And it was never an issue in terms of battery drain.
But now its just aweful. On both my devices i can basically DOUBLE the standby time when i disable the location service... And if i check BetterBatteryStats app it always places location services in first place for wakelocks.
Here comes the question: Is this a general Bug on Jelly Bean or is there a way to make it behave like it did on ICS or GB? I dont need it to update every 1min or whatever it does to drain my battery... Once every hour is more than sufficient! Are there settings for this somewhere?
See Screenshot on how it looks like on my Transformer prime. For my SGS III this would show up as Android-System, but its the same thing in BetterBatteryStats.
cheers!

I have been wondering the same thing. What I don't understand is why the drain is so bad even on Wifi. I don't know much about coding, but it seems like there should be no reason to check your location as long as you are on a Wifi network because obviously you haven't moved far since you are still connected. I have over 30 minutes held awake by maps and never left my Wifi network.

Map applications are the most power drain , it must open the wireless network and GPS,They are all power consumption
Well at least i'm not alone anyway i disabled the location services on my devices for the moment and only enable them when i need it. Big improvement in standby drain! Its a workaround but no solution...
cheers

Maybe you can use One Power Guard from android play shop, can help you solve the standby problem.
clouds5, did you ever find a permanent solution better than to turn on location services when needed? Your op describes my situation perfectly (except with sgs ii, jb) and I now only tick on location services right before I fire up maps/navigation/etc. Makes a huge difference in the amount of standby time, but I'm looking for a more satisfying solution.
I just got my S5 on Monday, but there is a bug w/ Google services or something. I can post photos here, but the services is using too much of battery on stand by if anything. Google + used 25% of my battery from like 10 am to like 4 pm, so I disabled it since I don't use it at all. I have no location history set up and I have Google Now running, never use it, but sometimes nice to have.

What's your location mode? If it's high accuracy or battery saving, that's why. It keeps the google location service running and constantly polling for your location even with location history off. Google Now is also a big battery drain.

This is my third S5, but newest one on Monday, but it's location history off. I went to Best Buy to get a reflash on my S5 and now it's fine, but now, Lookout is eating up 20% of the battery. Can't have it near perfection w/ technology, meh.
Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
I got this phone 1 month after release. It's been doing well but recently I've been noticing wierd battery drainage while the phone is off. It's lasting me around half a day, maybe 2 hours more. This is under normal usage. Downloaded music off spotify, my watch and headphones on bluetooth. It occasionally gets hot in my pocket and appears to drain around 25% sitting overnight with AOD off.
Cloud crap. Google backup Transport maybe.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if the helps at night. Backup Transport is one of it's dependencies but that may not be enough to kill it completely.
One reason I like a SD card; it greatly reduces or eliminates the need for cloud storage.
Disable all Samsung, Google and carrier feedback. Disable Google Firebase too.

Saddly google backups happend during the night while charging, samsung cloud is inactive and battery usage shows that Google Play Services consumes less then One UI. I also found it very hard to recreate the problem using a different phone, like huawei or other samsungs.

Tap on AOD >.5% @hr
Always on AOD >1%@hr
That's on my N10+. If you're not seeing better than that, there's somethings running in the background. Probably Backup Transport is at the top of the list.
