^^^^ that's the wakelock I have ALL the time on my P7P, and this is coming from Better Battery Stats. It's constant. If I could put that to bed I think I'd have 5% more battery at the end of each day. It annoys the crap outta me because I do have Gpay and wallet setup but I have never used either to pay a single time ever. They're just on my phone for backup and "just in case" scenarios. I'm ready to force stop the apps, but idk if play services will just start GPay and wallet backup on its own.

What should I do? How should I proceed with this one? Is anyone else seeing it?

Try turning off NFC.
In most countries, you don't need to unlock the phone for small transactions so it's always on if NFC is turned on.

No unlock needed for smaller payments​

Important: For tap to pay transactions under a certain amount, you may not need to unlock your phone. For regional requirements, go to the table below."

NFC is off. I only turn it on when I enter the app or use it- which has never happened because I've never made a payment with GPay or wallet.
