Since day one of owning this phone I've suffered from horrible battery drain. It doesn't matter what version I run (Currently B140), whether I run Greenify, disable mobile data, GPS, Now Cards, wiped cache/dalvik etc, the phone still drains about 20-25% in around 6-7 hours of being idle.
A part of me is thinking it may even be faulty and needs to be RMA'd, but any suggestions on how to fix it would be great!

^Am I correct in thinking the phone is being kept awake here? Any idea how I can find out what it is and disable it?
I used to use Amplify on my Honor 6, but obviously with no Xposed Framework for the H7 it's no good in this case.
I also had a battery drain caused by google play service. I disabled location and gone was the drain. Hopefully next firmware fixes this issue.

OK. Have disabled it now and see how the overnight drain is. Hopefully it sorts it out! :good:
install and run GService Fix from google play. It worked for me
Or let it finish what it's doing. Google play services was indexing all of my photos for Google photos upload and drained my battery for 4 days. When it finished the drain ended. Battery life on the 7 is very good.
I've had the same issue for the past week with the nlpwakelock caused by Goole play services. I have mentioned this in the other battery thread, it is related to the location service for Google services. You are correct in saying it stops the phone from deep sleeping, only fix I have found at the moment is to disable location services and set to device only. Setting it to battery saving does the opposite and keeps the phone awake. Have to see if any fix becomes available or methods to stop the drain without sacrificing certain functions.

Did you try Gservicefix from the play store that krisu recommended? That sorted the Google Play drain out for me.
So now it's just HwCustPowerManagerGCM that's the issue. I wish we had Xposed so I could limit it in Amplify... as of now I can't find any other way to stop it :/ How Huawei haven't fixed this yet is beyond me!

I was going to try that gservice fix from the play store but it seems to of gone or settled down now. However I'm in the same boat as you now HwCustPowerManagerGCM seems to be keeping.the phone awake when it's asleep..
option 1 and 2 solved the same problem
http://www.tusoporteonline.es/blog/...onsumo-de-bateria-de-servicios-de-google-play
Any solution for Android System wakelocks?. It keeps my phone wake for hours. I think is the same problem as you has, the process HwCustPowerManagerGCM
GService Fix does not solve this drain-issue on long term. After two days Google Play Services was back on top of the list!
Only thing that helps is deleting cache and reboot and/or (indeed) disable location.

Hello!
I've just found out that I've possibly got some sort of app that is uploading crap? all the time!
For a couple of days ago, in Android Market there was some strange russian app that I've found in my installed list! There was only a "update" button.
I have never installed something like this, or anything like this. Just flashed CheckRom v6 a few days earlier, and were impressed with battery and overall speed.
In the comments for this app, I saw that loots of Galaxy S2 users from Norway also had got this app without doing nothing!
A couple of days later google removed it.
Since then my battery has been draining quite a lot, and today I just realized that the phone is uploading almost all the time. It makes sense, because yesterday I received a mail from my self with spam. The email was sent to a lot of my friends as well.
NOT GOOD!
How could I detect which process that is doing this? Can't find anything suspicious in the app-list, or in Titanium Backup.
Is there an app who can show what the phone does over the network connection, maybe?
Would love to get this sorted out, without reinstalling the rom, as I don't have a backup
Try freezing Samsung's Social Hub app with titanium backup as that might solve the problem.

I've not had it appear for about 48/60 hours.. it's weird that you're still getting it in the updates list. Try and clear your Market cache - Settings -> Applications -> All -> Market -> Clear Cache

It's gone from my updates list, thankfully! But I suspect that something got installed anyway. I have full control of every app on the phone (not that many in fact) so they should not use the internet connection at all!
Thanks for the link, though Good to read something about this strange case!
install trustgo ad away and adway it will kill almost all ads an apps tht link to ad servers,,,,,cheeeerz
I had this problem last year just after getting my S2, and ended up wiping phone to be sure it was gone. I'm pretty sure I complained to google at the time but don't have any record of it.
It was called MTC back then, here's the record of the install.

Does anyone have any clue why "Android OS" and "Google Services" are taking up so much of my battery? I have only used my phone for periodic texting during the day, I reboot it every morning, and I have location services all disabled in Google Maps.
I did a full wipe and reinstall of Beans 17, I have 72 apps installed, pretty much nothing has changed on my phone but within the last week or two my battery life has been getting worse and worse. Does anyone have any thoughts?

My guess is it could be one of those 72 apps you got. Maybe there was an update for one of them and is now causing battery drain.

Check what apps are running under manage apps/running. Stop any services running in the background that you dont need manually. There's probably something there...
I flash ALOT ...and also yes.

I try to limit myself to the number of apps I have just for this reason, and I reboot my phone every morning so any apps I use aren't always running in the background. I didn't launch any apps other than Google Play Music, stock SMS app, and Foursquare. I really have no idea why the phone isn't going to sleep for half the time it's on battery.

Try a different kernel. I was using saber kernel when I was on beans and I was getting pretty good battery life.
Did you install any wakelock mods? Also use BetterBatteryStats will give you the exact cause

I'm on the Beans kernel, I'll give that a shot. I'll also try disabling Google Now to see if maybe that's what's causing it.

I had an issue with my phone app preventing my phone from entering into deep sleep mode, once I cleared the data, the problem went away. So have you tried clearing the google services data?
UPDATED.....
For those of you who are experiencing your google services draining your battery with all location tracking features turned off on your device, there is a play store update date called 4.1.10 that will replace 4.1.6 that has location bug battery draining issue. In my particular case it is the nlp wakelock service that is constantly running, which falls within the google services.
The download can be obtained from Android Police website http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05...-store-4-1-10/. You can simply install this apk file through the normal installation process of install apps.
I think its Google music. Ever since the update it has been a problem for me. Make sure when you aren't using it you kill it. For some reason it uses a lot more battery than spotify. I stream music 8 to 10 hours a day so I feel the pain when my battery takes a hit.

Hello folks. I'm experiencing pretty poor battery life on my T Mobile S6 Edge. The man culprit is Android OS. I didn't even make it to 8 hours today.
I have disabled wifi calling and voice over LTE. I've had the phone for 2 weeks so all the syncing should be done.
T mobile twitter support suggested a factory reset, does anyone think that'll help?
Thank you for the help.

what u mean by "Do apps from the play store count as android OS"??? also try update the Samsung Push Service released yesterday, that's also fix or improved the battery life, I only turn on some stuff whenever I needed like Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC...etc that also help my battery last longer.

The largest use of my battery is listed as "Android OS" and I don't think any third party apps from the play store would be included in that.

oh, i got it, the Android OS showing in your battery stats could caused by a lot of things, like sync, wifi, etc.....sorry I cant help you there.
I'm having the same issue on a less drastic scale though. Android OS is consuming 8-10% battery which I'm sure can turn into 1-130 hrs of SoT

I have heard this a few times, how do you update Google services..
also my Samsung push says it was updated on the 15th, I thought there was a newer update? am I wrong?
My biggest drain is the Google play services. I don't even have a lot of apps installed
Do you have the update installed?
I just did the update of Google play services yesterday and the one of Samsung push
a few days ago. Still shows play services at high position, but there is almost no drain in battery for me

Android OS isn't sucking up most of my battery for me. However, Google service is for some unknown reason.
Google services is usually down to Google location history & location mode in privacy settings.
Turn location mode to battery saver, and unless you rely on Google Cards for transit information turn off Google Location History
Your google services usage will drop exponentially and you will get better battery life.
This actually applies regardless of android device....
Where is battery saver location mode
Hey everyone. I started this thread with the major issues. I just wanted to let everyone know that I did a factory reset yesterday and I have spectacular results. The battery lasted all day.
I have had this phone phone close to when it came out and my battery life has not been all that greati usually get clost to 2 1/2 to sometimes 3 hours SOT :-/. i keep seeing the main drains on the top from screen,android,android system,cell standby,google play services. when i was looking at Google play services i explored more and went into the google now settings accounts and privacy and turned off things i didnt need. also turned of card notifications and now google play services seem to be using less battery. has anyone else done this to save battery consumption? so far i have gotten 2 hours SOT and battery level is at 66% with screen brightness set to auto. I also reset my phone once after reading some battery fixes.
Hi, here my experience.
I really love this phone, but I am really frustrated by battery life. I never get more than 2.5 hours of SoT.
I like a smartphone being "smart" so I usually have everything up (I mean sync, localization, etc. Usually I turn off Bluetooth, nfc and GPS because I don't need them), but with this phone I have to turn off Google history location and uninstall Facebook app and Facebook messenger app. Even with these modifications I have poor battery life and the problem is in "Google play services" and "Google app", they maintain active my phone even in airplane mode!
The screenshot are referring to a situation (I still have 72%) with 10hours on battery, but with ~8 hours of airplane mode. These apps "keep active" the phone for ~4.5hours!
P.s.I am sorry if I don't wait until 0% to get more accurate screenshots, but I don't have too much time during the day and I am really frustrated about the situation

It could be account sync? Have you tried looking under the accounts to see if there is some sync getting stuck?
In my case, I think the main sucker is location. I use to have it turned off (and also Google Now), and only enable when needed. With this, I use to get 4-5 hours SoT. Location/GPS is a huge sucker.
i figured out that in my google now settings /account privacy/google activity controls every was turned on and i just turned them off and it fixed my problem

What exactly you turn of in google activity's. Thank you in advanced
i turned off web & app activity,device information, voice and audio activity,youtube searchhistory, youtube watch history , google location history which are all of them. i do not need google to keep track of everything for me. google cards already does a good job introducing me to articles i can read. i did not play much with these to see which was keeping the phone awake.
the post above helped out a little bit but I tried something new and it seemed to have help out my stand by time and overall usage. when you go to settings battery&power saving then usage click on google play services and at the bottom it shows included packages it shows a list remember those.
go into app settings>all>google play services+google contacts sync+google account manager+google services framework+google backup transport> turned off notifications

How about functionality when turning off 'Notifications' for those services? Do you still have contacts sync working? Have you tried to create a contact in your phone and check on a computer at contacts.google.com if the new one is there after 1 or 2 minutes? And the other way, creating one on the computer gets synched to phone?
Thanks.
when i restored my phone back to stock I did everything normally to have a fully working phone. after that i went down the list in the settings to customize it to my usage. when i got down to apps and turned off notifications i still had contacts saved on my phone it was like nothing different happened other then getting doze like battery saving on my phone running stock lg lolipop

Good find. I too was getting 2.5 or less SOT. I went back to unrooted stock and was able to get 4 hours 20 min with no tweaking at all. Im back to stock root and am able to maintain 3 hours SOT but this gives me inspiration! Thanks for the tip, I'm trying this and see if my mileage increases.
hello,
This has been driving me crazy recently.
I do not want to install google maps new updates from play store.
I have all apps set to "do not auto update apps", currently i can see that there is a new google maps update pending but something odd is happening.
I am happy with version 10.60.1, which normally looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But recently for some reason maps layout changed to this:
and drives me mad, i have not updated of course and this seems to happen automatically even after a few hours now or immediately after. So i usually roll back to factory version and then force an installation with APK mirror, which woks well for a while but not anymore. The first time i had the installation from google play original version etc and this happened all of a sudden.
Which is the "new" layout and is driving me mad, as i really don't like it and you cannot go fullscreen in walk mode if you don't do navigation which is awful, plain crap. Would it be possible to know:
1. Why is this happening? are they force feeding us updates even though you have updates blocked?
2. When it does this sneaky update, why when you go to about > google maps > it still shows 10.60.1
3. CAN I BLOCK THIS FOR GOOD?
Many thanks to anybody for some feedback/help.
Best,
Gabrio
Set Playstore to wifi download only; keep wifi off.
Or disable Playstore.
heh, i have set it to
Auto update apps: DON'T auto-update apps.
hmhm disabling playstore is a bit extreme, would be good to block maps updating only and stick to that version i like.. now seems i cannot put it back.
it's either the aging version 9 or after installing 10.6.1 it just goes back to that crappy new look
Playstore is crapware. Always running in the background.
3rd method; block with Karma Firewall.
If you are rooted, Detach the app from the playstore.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-tool-temefi-comprehensive-system-administration.3806260/
thank you - i gave a go to the Karma Firewall and something interesting happened...
downgraded maps to factory, installed Karma, blocked Play store, put back app - nothing it still did the nasty silent change.
So i did another thing, i removed it again, then went airplane mode this time, installed the app and it was perfect, NO silent change, but obviously not feasible to use airplane mode lol.
then went normal mode (with Karma on), and it still did the nasty upgrade!
so i removed it a 3rd time, with the block in play store still (no change), no airplane mode and this time seems to stick, no silent upgrade and it's as i wanted to be.... only time will tell now and completely blocking play store is not ideal either, sometimes you need it but peace for now.
What i don't really understand is: my wife has the exact same phone, exact same version of the app, although we rarely use her phone driving etc, and they do not push the silent upgrade, i wonder why?
Is that because of usage patterns so they can see i am more "active" so they give me that new ****?
thanks again for input!

thanks, i will check it out
On most phones, your GPS is WiFI assisted, so turning it on & off will be best as you move in and out of registered WiFI that you can connect with. You probably would not wish to block the playstore completely, as that will also stop all your other apps from updating.
People have the same problem you have with Googles Maps, but with Googles YouTube. People install Vanced (ie no in-video ads) and detach YouTube to stop Googles YouTube from auto updating. Some people have tried all sorts of things, and it still gets updated, while others simply need to turn off the selected apps auto-update )although even these people lose it when the playstore updates itself). The Playstore is a black-box, so its hard to know why different people experience different results.
I have used my detach for a long time on YouTube (and a few other apps) without any updates breaking through, and so have many others. The main thing to ensure is that Maps is attached correctly before you detach it. Which in your case, sounds very much the case.
Google maps is a new one to me for detaching, so I would be interested to here how you go. I am pretty certain the detach will work, just never heard it being used for Maps. Totally not the answer for YOU, but I personally went for a different navigation software (Waze in my case). As google maps always put me on main roads with a higher risk of congestion. But for that, its a lot easier to miss a turn, into a tiny side street.
great thank you - so far so good, the block on the Karma firewall seems to hold. have to get used not to use play store anymore but im happy gmaps is not updated.
i've heard good things about Waze, if gmaps still bothers me, it's out of the windows, cheers
thanks everybody for info!
