Has anyone noticed this wakelock in Better Battery Stats or any other battery stats app? For the past day or so, this has been keeping my phone from deep sleep continuously and I've never seen it before. I just wiped cache & dalvik to see if it persists.

Yes I got it for the first time yesterday. Did a force stop on the google frame work and it stopped. Seems like it came with the latest gooogle play services. I hope they fix it soon. Has not come back so far.

I have seen this dreaded wakelock and found no good solution....It comes and goes away on its own (I had tried cache and dalvik)

Back when I had root, I also tried to disable this service using a root app called DisableService. Though that seemed to have some other side effects, so I gave up....Now I am on 4.4 and Wakelock detector does not work with Kitkat, so I am not even able to check if these are happening anymore...Ignorance is bliss :)

So you haven't noticed any significant battery drain from it?
Yes, no significant drain..However, it would still annoy me seeing this one in Wakelock detector/ betterbatterystats that too for hours.....Its a service contained in Google Play services which is closed source, so can't even find out for sure what this exactly does
