hey everyone , I got my phone on the 7th and since I've had it I've been having issues with battery drain. and Google services is causing this issue. I am going to attach a screenshot so u guys can check it out. Anyone having this problem as well? I already tried factory reset but that didn't help.
Google Services doesn't even show up on mine, I am assuming Google Play Services is the same thing, and it's 8% on mine, a little high I would think, do you have a bunch of accounts that sync all the time?

I don't use much other than Google and Facebook accounts and I don't think that's enough to justify the amount of battery Google services is taking up

Hi guys, i have a question. Is there any way to stop Google play services auto updates? I ask, because suddenly my battery drain problem on kit kat came back, and lookin i found that Google ps was on versión 5.x, so i uninstalled updates an left it on versión 4.x, and everything came back to normal.
settngs/apps/all apps , google playstore service... go to manage n clear all data... den uninstall...den disapble
Then he won't have Google Play services at all. It's not what he's asking for.
OP - no, unfortunately there is no way to stop it from auto-updating. However, if you clean the data as I wrote here - you might get lucky and not have any drain with version 5.x. I have it and it's fine.

Thanks man, i'll try that
Wakelock Termination....
There is only one way perfectly working for me so far with all updates for Google play services....
Install Xposed Framework
Install Wakelock Terminator Wakelock Terminator on Play Store
Activate it in Xposed
Open the Wakelock Terminator and look for google play services
Activate Wakelock Terminator for Google Play Services (In free version only 1 can be added to wakelock).
Add these values in the Filter for Google Play Services
NlpCollectorWakeLock NlpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator
Restart.... You can even check it in app and running menu in settings that you would only see 1 process running for play services and it won't be keeping your CPU awake..... Check it using Wakelock Detector....
Go ahead and give it a try and enjoy.... :good:
Share this info if this helps you..... Let as many people know about it.....
Press Thanks if I helped....

I think with the advent of Google Play Services 6.5.99 (or perhaps a bit earlier) the auto-update issue has become a problem again.
According to my recent observations Google Play Services 6.5.99 performs periodic location pings (every 15min) or so. With my settings ("Device only" location mode, but "Location reporting" and "Location history" turned "Off"), it is using GPS and thus unnecessarily drains the battery.
I don't see the problem with Google Play Services 6.1.05 so I'd rather wish Google would not auto-update Google Play Services.
Call me a newbie (I'm fine with that because I am as far as Android is concerned) but I find it outrageous that Google can update a core component on my phone without my consent, introducing phone issues, sub-par performance, or undesired behaviour at their whim. An opt-out facility for the auto-updates would be the least one would expect.
The Google Play Store allows one to opt out of automatic updates to downloaded applications so why isn't this setting not consulted when it comes to "Google Play Services"? I realise that probably no one here knows the answer, but I found it very hard to find a place to actually provide Google with feedback regarding "Google Play Services".

I ve faced the same isse with the repeated gps activities since the last update from the play Services.
But i think the cause of this phenomenon is the Google search! Ive disabled the google search app, and now I dont have this strange gps requests!

Thanks heaps for confirming.
I wasn't sure whether my (stock) system got messed up somehow.
I wonder why there hasn't been more of an outcry over the new location pinging behaviour. I find it unacceptable and can only believe it is due to a bug rather than intended.
I hope that future versions of "Google Play Services" will behave differently and found it frustrating that I couldn't locate a forum where Google developers would be listening to "Google Service Play" concerns. I made a post in a "Google Search" thread at a Google forum (not allowed to link to it yet) but I'm afraid it is off-topic there.

I first believed "Google Search" to be the culprit as well because disabling it got rid of the location pings.
However, that only worked once and later attempts to kill the pings by disabling "Google Search" were unsuccessful. Perhaps you should check once in a while whether the pings are coming back because it appears to me that it really is "Google Play Services" and it is just being triggered by various sources.
Also, being able to initiate a google search by just wiping up the home button, is a rather crucial feature to me. Disabling "Google Search" would force me to fire up a browser instead which would be a lot more cumbersome. Given that a different version of "Google Play Services" does not perform the pings even while "Google Search" is available, I'd say one should attempt to tackle the problem by addressing "Google Play Services" not "Google Search".
BTW, I opted out of "Google Now" just to make sure that there aren't any location based cards that request location updates.
Hi, I want to know if there is a better version of Google Play Services compatible with the latest Google Apps like Gmail, Keep and Calendar, cuz the last one available in the Play Store drains my battery very fast, and if I do a downgrade to the factory version that the phone has the battery drain stops, but I CANT use these app that are update; the phone says all time that I need to update Google Play Services for get some apps working but I dont want the last version cuz the problem that it generates :/
Any idea or help?

You can downgrade your Google Play Services apk but it will self update and some applications will not work without the latest version of Google Play Services. My battery is also draining fast because Google Play Services is forcing my phone to stay awake. But now it seems to be fine. Just give it some time to settle.
Has anyone noticed a lot of battery drain from Google Play Store since updating to 5.1.1? the only way I can stop the drain, is to disable Google Play Store.
I am happy to report that the problem was with apps not being able to update in the play store! After trying the troubleshooter I found in the Play Store I had Google call me and after trying a few other things, she had me delete my Google account and reinstall it. That was the last step before a factory reset! It corrected the problem I was having, and I hope it helps some of you, too!
It does this to me if you have updates that need to install. Hopefully marshmallow will fix how often it tries to sync. It's very active in the background. I believe you can choose to not have it sync in your settings menu. It may help. Mine still last a long tie but you are dead on with drainage. I noticed this right away when I updated to 5.1.1
I figured out that I can no longer update or download ANYTHING from play store
My battery life is back to normal.
Morning all!
I appreciate your help on previous posts of mine and I'm looking to seek your help once more.
I use several apps that use the Google API for maps, unfortunately (aside from actual Google apps) this doesn't work. It simply says 'Google Play services are updating'. Except when I go to the settings, they are not.
Is anyone else having this issue/has been able to find a workaround?

I had the same problem, so I did this - went to Settings / Apps, turned on "Show system processes", then under Google Play Services / Storage /Manage Space cleared all data. Now everything works

All hail JadranB! Thanks for your help, this has fixed the issue.
It fixed the problem to me, but only until the reboot.
Then the problem appears again.

Yeah, unfortunately this seems to be the case for me too. I haven't been able to find a more permanent workaround.
Fortunately i figured out!
This is happening due to beta version of google play services. I unistalled the latest updates and it came to a version 11.9.75. Then, it didn't upate anymore, unless i download an app called Play Services Info.
If you stay at version 11.9.75 then there is no problem at in-app maps (reboot it or not).

Thanks. This also fixed an issue for me I was just about to ask about, where all links from my Google feed refused to open in anything but Chrome and the option to "open web pages in the Google app" was greyed out (and Opera as my default browser was also ignored).
I was also unable to sign into Chrome, it said my account was already in use. Seems to be working now.
I wonder what's going on here? Never seen anything like it on my previous Samsung phones.
Just had the update to 110 UK, but the issue has just occurred again.
It's getting ridiculous!
Same issue here, and I can't log into Chrome .. Says "Syncing to .." and never updates. Some apps are forcing me to update Google Play Services, so this is a mess .. If you update play services then Uber and Maps, along with some other apps won't work!

only workaround is to clear all google play services data
I am also struggling under this.
My Fitness apps doesnt shop a map until i delete the play service data. Works until the next reboot. Hope someone is fixing this soon.
The temporary fix results in all credit/debit cards vanishing from the Google Pay app.
So basically I just uninstalled the current updated version of google play services and forced google play to no auto-update. This seems to have fixed the issue temporarily. If you stay at version 11.9.75 then there is no problem.
Hi all,
Android app developer here. This is an issue with the latest Google Play Services (12.6.73 released on 10th May) and has been affecting Huawei devices and maybe some other vendors.
You can check the progress on it on Google issue tracker here.
Also from what I've read the "clear app data" fix is just temporary, issue returns after device restart or after some time. Google seems to be already working on the issue so I think it would be best to wait it out unfortunately
I have a couple of issues it seems besides the map issue:
2 factor prompt doesn't work anymore, and the google assistant options are broken.
Couldn't log into chrome with my google account either but that seems to be fixed after a factory reset.
Edit: most of the issues seem to be fixed now. Still no working 2 factor prompt. Other than that everything is fine again

This has been resolved for me after updating from 103 to 110. No problems, even after a reboot.

Yes I was having the problem too until I disabled Play Services and left the beta program in the play store, then updated again. Leaving the beta definitely solved the issue.
Hi,
So I have 12.6.73 and still this problem.
Can someone help?

I have the Huawei p40 pro for 2 months. I installed all my apps using Aoura store, everything works great, no issues. I tried to install the Google services, it was hell to get it work but the results make me reset my phone and went back to Aoura. 3 things you need to know about google services to this phone:
1.you need to downgrade to 131 firmware, it was hell to do that!
2.battery drain with google services!!!!!
3.no whatsapp, gmail, outlook notifications!!!

It was easy to got back to .131, I did from .147. I installed Google services etc then updated to Aug security patch .154. I have wattsapp and outlook notification but I don't use Gmail so can't comment on that. While it was a pain to get G services on I'm glad I did as now my banking apps work in the UK, the only thing I miss is contactless payments from the phone.

Battery drain may be an issue. I don´t know, as I use google framework etc on this phone since the beginning. And for sure it will not drain the battery more than on other devices and negliable in contrast to "screen on apps" as youtube, for instance.. or gaming....
During the night my device drains about 2% of battery capacity (within 7-8hrs); I can deal with that. Everything else depends on how you use your device.
Regarding your first post, google services have nothing to do with whatsapp. Furthermore downgrading by hisuite proxy ist pretty easy and notifications work, at least for me.
But you are right. Aurora store is fantastic. I use it for all apps except for those I paid for. And it is nice to be independent from google, but...
my reasons why I finally installed the google services:
1, I wanted my paid apps back (e.g poweramp, SD Maid pro, Windfinder pro etc).
2, in app purchases, if necessary in future.
3, I have all my contacts and calendar on my google account and and i'm glad that all my data in this regard is automatically synchronized with my phone again.
4, Google map implementation and some other stuff... now all apps working again.
Of course I can live without google services, especially as I´m a friend of debloating as much as possible. Maybe I will change my decision in future. It´s a nice idea to be independent from google (or apple).... as much as possible.
For someone like me, I need some amount of GMS. For example, my city's bike share and car share programs require GMS. Unfortunately, I cannot get either of them working with the solutions for GMS so far.

Man if I turn back to .131 is it enough to use lzplay or do I have to begin the manual installation?
Do you have a guide?
Thank you
No option at the moment to install google services Google blocked all ways to do that.
how is it possible to downgrade to 131?
All guides are so confusing, especially in the proxy thing
is there any step by step guide?
