[Q] Google now location services stopped and phone permanently awake

[hndbrk]

News about this issue is spreading but wanted to post here too to see if anyone had ideas about how to stop this in the time being. It seems a google services update for google search/now caused people to see location services as stopped in the google now window. All GPS/location settings are on when you click on the link it provides to reach the settings.
This part though I haven't seen any reports. My battery history is now showing the phone is awake almost constantly. Betterbatterystats is showing that partial wakelocks for something called NlpWakeLock (googleservices) is running the whole time.

I'm hoping that something will show up either here on xda or productforums on google but advice is much appreciated!

Yes, news certainly is spreading fast. From my 1 minute of browsing post titles in this very subforum I found four other posts on this very issue. This fifth post will just further dilute the available information on this issue (which Google is investigating)

Yep, I apologise, less specific searches worked. I can't post a link but I suggest anyone reading this searches xda for post 2288395 which already has multiple responses.
