I found it, that app above is called DISABLE SERVICE https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
I personally suggest don't use this app for Google Play Service. It will wake your phone endlessly for what service that you have disabled. For my case is analytic, checkin, and system update service.

Instead just disable it autorun receiver using this app.

What ill-effects come from this? Does it just disable anything location related?
I'm not sure of any negatives. My Google now still works fine..and everything else I use with location. Once in a while an app like walgreens for example complains that Google play services is unable yup determine location, but that is when launching the app. When I click search location it still shows up fine.

I just installed Manage Android Autostart app 60 seconds ago. I went to disable those 3 specific recievers...I noticed there are already several things disabled by default. Is this normal or did the app do this on its own? Here is an example pic:

Google Services Framework is disabled, under During Startup section

Tried it and my battery life is definitely a lot better and I haven't noticed any problems, thanks!

It's not the app. Even if you check with Disable Services, there's some services from Google Services Framework that already disabled by default. So this is normal.

It depends. I haven't used this app personally, but with App Ops, for some that side effect happened, but for some, it didn't.

BTW, I gave a try of Manage Autostarts For Android, but unfortunately, it itself caused more partial wakelocks than without it, so at least for me it defeats the purpose of using the app. Sigh, I wish HTC has an easy/free way to set s-off and has made the system partition bigger. With my N5 and App Ops combo, I am able to disable all the offending permissions (mostly location). Strangely 5.0.1 on HTC One M8 didn't show as many location related wakelocks as N5, even with location history and report on.

Can you share more Information about your partial wake lock? Forgot to mention, my device is Nexus 5. And here is screen shoot after using Manage Autostart app. Only turn off system update and check in services for the sake of deep sleep.

I always turn on Location reporting so I guess it's normal for my NLP wake lock.
When I was used Disable Service and turn off system updates, check in and analytic, their sync services will caused a loop and kill my deep sleep.

I uninstalled the app, but let me reinstall it and see if I can capture the screenshot as well as BBS log.

EDIT: Attached.
EDIT2: FYI, I usually get about 0.5-0.7% drain when the screen is off. I will create a screenshot later and attach it.

Is it me or is Google Fit acting up with 42 minutes of wakelock today. I work in a corporate office, so its not like I'm running 3 miles a day, but jeez... 42 minutes of wakelock?

It's all our favorite nlpcollectorwakelock too, and I'm only 8 hours into my day so far.

It has started acting up since the last update, which reminds me why I greenified it before it worked okay...

Hi - I am suffering from the NLP wakelocks and read about trying Wakelock Terminator. I have xposed installed.

I was unable to fund Wakelock Terminator in Google Play and when I go to Xposed and search the Download section I dont see it there either. How do I find this?

Hi old thread.
Am on CM14.1.
Wifi & Bluetooth scanning: Off.
Google Location History: Off.
Google Location Sharing: Off.
Location mode: Battery saving.
Nlp wakelocks went from ±2 minutes to >10 second overnight. When location is disabled nlp wakelocks are almost nonexistent but weather widgets don't work.
Thanks for having this discussion thread.
Still a slight drain in battery though whereas a straight line is obtained when location is disabled overnight…
