Ok so having a small issue. I know it didn't happen on the first few days of the phone but got BetterBatteryStats to help solve the issue. Just 4 items causing the issue.
Google Play Services
Google Music
Google Quick Search
Google Gmail
Any help is appreciated.
Well after a bit of digging, think its related to the SMS functions that is tied to Google Search application. I disabled the SMS functions for the google applications, hopefully that solves the issue. Hopefully that fixes the issue since I like using the application for new stories / quick updates from items it pulls from e-mail account and such. But if worst comes to worst I'll get rid of it and find something else.
And successful run last night only using 0.5%per hour. Way better than yesterday. So disabling SMS permissions for Google (search) and Playstore did the trick. Play Store Services you got to keep activated.

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.
So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.
Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.
And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.
I'm running stock note 2 rooted.
I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.
Reminders still do not work.
They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.
#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.
#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!
So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.
Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.
I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.
I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank guys!
UPDATE:
After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!
It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.
Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"
IT was set to "no"
As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.
recap:
open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes
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.
Hi,
I have a lot of paid apps, and of course I'd like to use them on my wife's phone as well. However, I'd like to have my play store account on there without also showing up in her gmail, Google+, photos, etc. I have sync turned off, but the account can still be easily accidentally selected.
Perhaps there's an xposed module, or similar? I looked, but couldn't find anything.
Right now, I've deleted my account from her phone, but I have to put it back every few days to pick up app updates, then delete it again.
I've searched, by haven't found any simple solution. Ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
No solutions yet, but so far my wife doesn't seem to have been reading my email...
There is no solution and if google catches you they will ban your account all the way around with no way to reactivate it
For about a week now I have been experiencing some strange syncing behavior on my Google accounts sync and it is driving me crazy. What I am experiencing is my Google account syncing non-stop, over and over again. As a result, battery life is taking a hit. As far as I know it is centralized to the Google accounts.
What I have tried:
Restoring phone to stock firmware using LG flash tool (issue eventually started again)
Removing additional Google accounts
Turning off data and unchecking all the sync options for the google account and one by one turning them back on (this works but only if I uncheck everything besides gmail, app data, and calendar)
Downloaded a contacts fixer to make sure there are no broken contacts to sync.
While it doesn't sound like an issue that should be isolated to the LG G3, I have seen similar issues based on some Google searches from other LG G3 owners. I would love to use my phone as it was intended with multiple Google accounts and all accounts syncing correctly.
Has anyone experienced this annoying issue or if anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
I believe I have the same thing, like you for about a week.

I first though that maybe installing all the new updated versions of the Google apps that just came out is causing the issue, but haven't verified that. Do you remember anything that may have triggered the issue for you?
Thanks!
I believe it kicked in when I updated gmail, with the app now handling other email servers.

I believe you are correct here, my sync icon stays up of late until I swipe away gmail in the recent applications...
