Try enable and you will see battery drain
Cause of google play services battery drain are NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock. And battery drain still here but for see it you will have to enable location services.

I wanted only say that you don't see battery drain because you don't use location services. And not because to google fix it on last version of google play services.

Then why say multiple times that there's no drain?
The main problem is that there's excessive drain when location reporting / history are enabled. Disabling them has stopped the drain since the problem first occurred months ago, so of course you're not experiencing it with them disabled.
This is the second time in a few days I've seen you telling people to "read better" when you haven't read the thread yourself. Like I said before, telling people to read the thread thoroughly is fine, but you should at least do the same yourself if you're going to do so.

GPS also drains battery really fast without those options being active.
Are you sure your drain is from gms?
Either way, those options are the culprit for 99% of people.
Then it's a separate issue, that nobody else seems to be experiencing.I've never had location activated either
Are you absolutely certain that it's Google Play Services causing it? A poorly coded app that accesses Google APIs via gms could be causing it to hold a wakelock.

It will always seem stable so far until it happens lol! Its not a random drain something has to trigger it. This is why Sony's temporary solution works.

Well i hope that Sony solve it all in the coming 4.4.4
So lets wait and discussing about this any longer have no sense.

Nobody is forcing you to participate in this thread. If you don't want to discuss it, then don't. Simple.
A 1.18 version of AppOpsXposed (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-appopsxposed-appops-4-3-t2564865) has fixed my battery problem
P.s. don't forget to enable wacklock hack on appops settings.

It's really annoying since there are many apps require location in Google play services.
For example, ingress, maps, if u r not outside, cannot be located without it.
My nexus 5 is totally drain free with same settings and same installed apps(same version as well).
So it's pointless to say 'fixing Google play services', its more like Sony mass this update up.
And it also will damaging your battery. 4 hours from100 to 0, even worse than my htc g1

So why is there a 47 page thread in the Nexus 5 forums about the same wakelocks?

Don't you remember the last time you said this and people linked you to various examples of other devices suffering battery drain because of Google Play Services? Or do you just like finding reasons to complain about Sony?
I suggest that you'll be better off posting complaints (valid or not) or suggestions in the Sony support forum for the Xperia Z in future, where someone from Sony will actually see it.

There are many, many more examples if you just do a quick Google search. It isn't the best situation, but it is not Sony's fault.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk3Ok so my phone would die after around 5-6 hours of doing nothing, I found by going to device administrators and disabling "android device manager" and then going to settings > apps > all > Google play services. You are now able to force stop the app. After doing this I have now have no battery drain and this don't seem to cause any other issues
