I know when I had the S3 I had to end S-voice cause it was killing my battery. That one thing made a hugh improvement.

For the last 2 days, my battery has been draining fast and goes dead overnight. When checking settings, battery, Google services was drawing 44%, staying awake for over 3 hours.
So today, I turned google services off for the day and the battery percentage stayed about the same all day. The problem is that then Maps and anything else that needs your location can't work.
Then I turned it back on and now Google services is only drawing 4%. I can't explain what's changed as I haven't done anything to change it.
Still monitoring, checking stuff........

Google the subject, it's a common complaint with this phone and I'm hoping that Samsung or someone finds a cure soon.

I had this issue with my S4. I found it was the new update of Google play service that caused this issue. The battery usage of google services came back to normal after I delete the update. However, the new hangouts requires the latest google play service...

How do you delete an update?

Go to application manager and find the app then click on uninstall updates.

I solved it by installing an app called Juice defender and then adjusting the settings to agressive.
