I installed the apk and it seems to have (at least partially) fixed the battery drain with location.

I confirm that the battery drain related to "google play service" is fixed with "Google Play Services 5"

How did you do?
I also had installed the new apk, but then it's only fixed a little bit. I still have battery drain

Thanks

I installed the apk, cleared the cache, rebooted and Bob's your uncle!

It does not fix the issue for the majority of the people, certainly not for me.
I am really pissed of with all of these.

Installed it, fixed the issue for me as it seems. Also updated Google Search with the latest APK.

Still got the other bugs but so far my Xperia Z has no Drain with everything switched back on, but I'm giving it longer to be sure.

It doesn't work for me.
But if I turn off all the position (GPS) in Setting, then it seem helped with battery drain.
I don't know why?!?!

Fix has solved all problems

The fix has seriously solved all problems regarding battery drain, and the usage of Xperia Z2 apps (Eg: Live on Youtube).
This makes the Xperia Z compatible for usage of the Kit Kat Operating system:angel:

It certainly worked for me, up to now anyway.
Full location services on, Google Now on with transport, weather and travel times on.

Seems to have fixed it for me too. Just turned on high accuracy location so we shall see any difference.

After using these for a day, it seems the battery usage has been improved a lot but still not comparable to previous 4.3 ROM. Will see how it goes in the following week.

I'm getting Google play services battery drain. The funny part is, I wasn't suffering much in previous Google play services version. Now on 5 I'm getting the drain plus heating cellphone while sitting on my desk. What gives.

I flashed Cyanogenmod 11 (latest nightly) last night and installed the Google Services 5.0 apk and got the same problem as you, it really drained the battery fast, so I uninstalled the update and its back to normal now (version 4.4.52) - Try installing that version it might help you
