I am running stock 4.4.2 rooted with xposed installed. The title pretty much explains it as well as the picture. I have a lot of apps greenified and have location set to battery saving and have rebooted several times but still get terrible battery drain from Google services

first off, it being your first post, ill be nice. questions/help/troubleshooting does not go in general, it goes in the q&a/help/troubleshooting section. secondly, you should have searched xda before posting another thread, as we already have many threads about this. here is one that we have been using mainly, for this issue http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/normal-google-play-services-to-drain-20-t2519831

Sorry won't happen again! I went to the thread you directed me to and disabled all the location ones in Google play services using "disable services" and it didn't work for me. Thanks for your help! I'll send a few thanks your way for the misunderstanding

if you disabled those that are shown in a screenshot, did you reboot first? if not, try again. then let the phone sit there for like 10 minutes, then check.

btw, i do agree with you about some of the meanness that goes on in xda. im not like that, i enjoy helping people too much. and the nexus 5 forums here also, it isnt as bad like the rest of xda. there are many here like me, that actually keep an eye on the forums, to make sure that meanness doesnt go on :)

Disable them all. Reboot. Then charge the phone fully so battery stats reset

dont disable them all.
im sure that he wants a phone that will function like it should, not one thats fully disabled.

I would like my phone to function like it should yes lol. I tried to reboot after disabling the ones with location and rebooted and waiting 10 minutes but Google play services time awake is still rising and has been awake for pretty much the whole batter cycle. Could greenify be causing such issues?

no, greenify is innocent. if you got all the location, i wonder what else it could be..

would you post this screen from your default battery stats please..

thanks. yea, you definitely have something preventing your phone from syncing. check your google sync in main phone settings, check if any of the stuff that you normally sync isnt stuck syncing(either continuous spinning or stopped spinning). alsi, would you post the battery stats page with your apps % battery use.

maybe so, but at least i will be able to see how your phone actually sleeps, if it does or not, and how much it gets woken :)

I got this from wake lock detector. I hope it helps. Its Google services

Could it not be your Google play music using Google services? Just a suggestion
