I just noticed that suddenly Google Services start using more data over the few days period. Previously it was not the case. Currently data usage is around 220 MB for 14 days, out of total 99 MB has been used by Google Services and all data usage is in background. I doubt it might be one of major reason, I start loosing my battery less than day.
Are other people facing or Am I alone in the ship.
Recently I did not install any new application which is main culprit of this.
For record purposes, I am using GSM 4.0.2
Waiting for your feedback.
Do you have google music syncing?
No. Don't have Google Music Sync
What does it list? Mine says 0 foreground and 1.04 mb in the background for an entire month. Listed is Bookmarks sync, account manager, services framework, contacts sync, network location.
Did you clear all of your contacts from your phone? Do you have a couple thousand contacts with pictures?
It mentioned contact bookmarks and all in background 100 Mb in 14 days.
Don't have thousand of contacts with photos only 20 to 25 max
perhaps any other things you are syncing? (google+ for example?)
Did you ever find out what was causing the issue? I've noticed the same thing recently and haven't been able to track down why Google Services is suddenly using so much data.
Backing up application data perhaps?

How to check it? There is no change in installed apps recently.

Tried turning that off and it didn't help much. Still on the same pace for data usage as zoobihoobi. Google services has used 100Mb in 7 days and last month it used 11Mb for the entire month.
Similar issue
I've gone from 3-5mb monthly to 80 in 6 days, an then it has tapered off again so that it's back to much the same. Any ideas?
I have the same issue here. 134 Mb consumed in the last 6 days.
I am constantly installing and updating apps, so maybe one of these apps is very hungry, but how can I check this out?
It's getting on nerves now....No way to find the culprit and usage data is increasing day by day....
Same here. 0 foreground data, 68M background data over the last 5 days.

Ditto here:
0.00 Foreground & 60.75MB in 7 days with no significant changes in apps etc.
Same issue here. Google services consumed, in background, 32mb in 5 days.
Galaxy nexus.
Possible Clue to the enormer data consumption
Hi,
I have the same problem with my G Nex. Went from about 5MB/month to 80Mb/week and 21MB used only yesterday.
I found a possible cause on the galaxynexusforum. I can't post links in this forum yet, so go to the forum and search for a thread titled: "problems with google services framework"
In this thread it has been suggested that it may have something to do with the syncing of the stock browser. And indeed, when I went to the sync setting, the only indicator of currently syncing was shown next to the browser. I deactivated it. I will report back in a day or two, if that was any help.
Meanwhile, maybe some of you want to give it a shot as well.

Well... Noticed as well. Google services now reaching around 300MB since 15/03 ... Something is not right... I have no syncing except Gmail (email, calendar)...
I have a problem like this before, some exchange services was using huge amounts of data and battery constantly...
What I did was disable my Exchange Mail accounts.. (remove them)... After I confirmed that was the problem, I re-added my exchange accounts and the problem hasn't reoccurred..
edit: I just saw that I posted this in the wrong forum. If a mod wants to move it, that would be cool.
Since I got my phone a couple of months ago, the gallery app has been intermittently draining my phone some days. I would force stop it and that would stop the drain. I got fed up and did a search and found it was related to google auto synching with Picasa and some other stuff so I disabled those and left only contacts and calendar to synch on my phone/account.
Seemed to work until it started again a few days later. Gallery is once again draining my battery on some days even though I've never even opened it. Anybody else had this issue?
Google Maps and Google Music do this to me. Or did in the past. I used Titanium Backup to make a widget for both so I can disable them easily when I'm not using them.
Not so simple with gallery though. What rom are you on?
Has anyone else noticed the Google Services app being a huge battery hog? I read some other threads about it and tried disabling the "Access location", location reporting, and location history within the google settings. I also uninstalled google+, google play games, and hangouts but I am still seeing large battery usage. I also have Greenify installed which is amazing but I am hesitant to Greenify any of the Google Services packages.
Overall the battery life on my Note 3 is simply amazing but I can only imagine how much better it could be if Google Services didn't hog as much.
Does anyone know which of these services can be Greenifyed and how it will effect functionality?
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Network Location
Let me see if I understand this...
Your screen shot shows you have more than a day and 1/2 on the battery, still have almost 1/2 of the battery left and you are concerned about 25% Google services?

I switched to a second battery and it didn't reset my battery stats. Like I said, my battery life is great. But it could be better if the google services were reined in.
I too am having this issue. Only thing I know how to do to fix is disable wifi location service. But doing this then cripples google now, which I love. Anyone have a better fix? I have cleared cache and data and also in installed and reinstalled and still same issues.

NOTE 3
I found that I was getting bad battery drain and consistently I saw Google play services as the culprit.
All you do is go to Google play services in app manager (under the all section) and uninstall updates. Make sure play store is not set to auto update apps. Then reboot.
I got one error message when first opening maps but then no problems and most of all no more battery drain. Something is wrong with the updated services. It was repaired in 4.4.3 but this will fix the battery drain without issue.

Here's a article that's more
In depth
http://www.product-reviews.net/2014/05/25/google-play-services-battery-drain-fix/
The drain was real. There's supposed to be an app that fixes it called gservicesfix
But the play services is only for update checks etc. The method I show works perfectly

Thanks for the tip, Robalboa. Worked well. Only issue was that I kept getting the error when opening Maps.
Out of curiosity, I went a couple steps further. After uninstalling the updates for the Google Play Services system app using your suggested method and getting good results, I used Titanium Backup to make the update-stripped Google Play Services a user app. At that point, I allowed the Play Store to update to the latest Google Play Services. This also appears to fix the battery drain problem for me but has the added benefit of having the latest version of Play Services for proper operation of Maps and other Google apps (with no error messages).

Hey thanks I used titanium like u said and converted to user app. And that alone took away the error message. Thanks alot.
ALL that services apk does is check for updates when u use a gapp but what sucks is the apps won't work If you disable it.
Thanks alot

For anyone who noticed a battery drain issue especially while on the B22 build, I believe I have found the "smoking gun" - It's the Google Messages app (if you have it).
I isolated this by buying / installing a new battery from Ebay and wiping the phone and adding back a few apps at a time. One I installed and switched to Google Messages for SMS instead of the awful stock "Messaging" app it started draining.
I have removed Google Messages and am now using Textra for SMS/MMS. Battery life is now great again. I haven't needed to charge the phone in a couple of days.
