Hi all,
maybe you read the news that Play Store 4.1.6, which was rolled out after Google I/O, should drain the battery on some devices, so in the last days Google updated to 4.1.10 silently.
Last night I got the update but since then my RAZRi drained faster than before. I rebooted, cleared cache and such things, but the problem remains.
Do anyone of you experience the same?

Hi.
I noticed increasing battery consumption and more wakelocks by playstore since new version of 4.x.x so I am using old version 3.10.14 modified (edit patched) by arman68 from his System apps v1 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223482
Google playstore even the new version supports only apps in our region so I'm satisfied with old version.
But Play Store does auto update itself, why not in your system?
Edit: is patched, ok
Edit 2: Google Play is not the problem... Seems that Google Play Services is the battery hog.
Just a small update FYI: Not the Play Store Services were the problem...
Unfortunately there were two conditions which came together. I modded a few things at my SystemUI.apk and got FC's after reboot and so on, solved it and left the phone alone. Just at this time (god knows why), Play Store updated itself, so I thought it was the cause for wakelocks - but it wasn't.
I rolled back to a CWM backup few days old, let Play Store update and discovered, that no battery drain appears.
The same curiosity was weeks ago, when I searched for the cause of wakelocking my RAZRi. After days I decided to factory reset and start anew. Seems, that if you'll play too much with your system and anything goes wrong (FC's especially with playing around with SystemUI.apk), some things may get corrupt in data.
So, the topic of this thread is solved

Hey guys,
I recently installed the 4.4 GP services manually, and I think that may have screwed up my phone. I get crazy wakelocks (like 12 out of 14 hours) by Google Services, which, according to GSAM, is taking up 30 percent of my battery. Is there any way for me to fix this? I don't think the phone will let me uninstall updates for GP services.
Thanks in advance
Actually, never mind.
Somehow there was an update to GP services. I installed that update and things seem to be back to normal. Wake times are much shorter. I will report back if anything goes wrong though.
hello everybody
i have a serious problem with battery draining, google play services eats too much of the battery so i can't really use it too much because of that
i'm now on kitkat 4.4.4 and the problem was even on 4.3
my google play service version is : 8.4.89
i did all that :
rooted the phone.
uninstalled completely google play services ( after doing that another service was still eating the same pourcentage 34% of the battery was called : google service ) so even with removing google play services the problem still the same .
i reinstalled google play service the latest version : 8.4.89 .
i rebooted.
i wiped all cache and dalvik cache.
and it still on : 34%
i also tried @venky716 method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-google-play-services-idle-drain-t3176177
and still the same problem
first of all i tought the problem came from kitkat but i realised right now that google play services is the biggest problem because i tried too much version : 4.4.4 / 4.2.2 / 4.3 / even 5.1.1 and the battery of my XZ is still draining with no reason
please give me a permanent solution
Could be an app that is messing with the service.
There is no more drain in 5.1.1 from the service.
but there is a very big draining from the system on 5.1.1 and heating also, that's what i heard from people . i'm now on JB 4.2.2 no more service draining, battery ok, but i hate this version, it's too old for a smartphone like XZ
You can try L_Speed Mod. It has a fix for google services battery drain
Are you guys seeing a change in battery life on 5.1.1 as oposed to 5.0.2? I am, and I miss my old battery life. It's not bad by any means, but I do notice a difference. Right now, I am using greenify, and package disabler. Is there anything else I can do to get back to 2-3 days usage and over 10 hours sot?
Also, is there any way we can get smart Manager back?
Well I'd start from getting rid of greenify... It's useless on modern phones
Please excuse brevity and typos, written on a mobile device
I've suspected that causing an issue so I Uninstalled it. Any other manager like a smart Manager that we can use?
I get all day battery,and coming from V10
M S6 updated to 5.1.1, and I noticed that Google Play Services is draining my battery very quickly. Have you noticed anything unusual?
When there are updates in the play store, I have noticed that it causes a drain. This is Google play services

After the last update I had the same issue and still not have figured out completely. But I installed a couple apks for play store and Google services. It fixed those but still disappointing battery life.

I have Google Play Store working now! I had to contact Google, they called me within a minute and walked me through a couple steps ( beyond the ones they provide as a troubleshooter) with no luck. the last step before a factory reset was to delete my google account and reinstall it. I am happily updating apps as I am writing this!!
Something definitely happened to the battery life and it must be a google app problem. My battery was fine after the 5.1.1 update few months ago and suddenly a week ago (or two) the battery started draining fast. Also in the morning instead of the usual 3-6% drop I see at least 13% drop.
Do you know a good app which can show me why the drainage?
My friend had a similar problem on his Note 4. His battery went from 100% to 20% in one day with maybe 15min usage.He downloaded app Clean Master and cleaned the system (or what ever that app does). That solved the problem for him,at least so he said.
My battery life is back to normal, after removing my Google account and reinstalling it! I am happy again!
I haven't had a single problem after the update. I'm getting several days out of my battery - but I just use it for calls and texts. Still the best battery life of any phone I've owned...
Hi guys
I don't know what to do anymore with these problem due to Google play services that consume my battery very fast.
So far I tried:
-uninstall updates and reinstall again Google play services via google play store
-freze some Google applications
-disable locations
-disable sync
-uninstall Google chrome and reinstall
-boot in the recovery and perform clear cache
-4 full resets of the phone
-flash again the stock firmware via Odin
After a few days this problem comes again and I Don t know what to do anymore.Is the first time when I have this problem,before note 8 I had S8 and the battery was awsome.
Sometimes if I restated the phone the problem goes away for a few hours...
What else should I try to fix this Google play services issue?
Are you sure it's the play store that draining your battery? Maybe It's one of your apps that causing the play store go haywire?
Google Play Services is the first battery drain.Every night,before to sleep I have to power off the phone for about 3min and after that on again and for about 24 hours no issue with play services...but now this trick is not working anymore....
Remove Google account, then clear data/cache on all the Google apps, then re-add the google account
Disable auto update of apps when connected to WiFi.

I've tried all the advices and the problem haven't gone.
In the last 4 days I flashed another stock firmware via Odin with the same results..Google play services starts to consume the battery as soon as I start the Wi-Fi or mobile data.Right now I don't have installed any applications in my phone,just the stock ones and this **** Google play services is the first drain battery.I put my phone in Safe Mode and again,there is the first consumer,runs all the time and my phone is getting very hot due to this ****...
In setting>connection>data usage, find google play service and check if background data showing huge amount of mb. If so, maybe it's constantly running in background which draining the battery. Then in the same page, try to turn off 'allow background data usage'
This only effect when you're using mobile data. To make it effect when using wifi, check 'restrict network' and turn off the wifi network there. This should prevent google play service consume date in background.
Not sure if its work but worth a try.
Thanks for this advice.Yesterday I flashed again another firmware with Odin and the problem is still here but only when I use Wi-Fi Google play services starts to run all the time and to stop it I have to power of Wi-Fi and restart the phone and use only data mobile.So far,this is my fix for this problem...will see in the next days
I was getting the same annoying message about google play draining battery. I deleted the last 3 apps that I recently installed.. i restarted the phone and never got the error message again.. the apps were magicjack, hopper and zelle. cant tell exactly which one was the culprit. good luck

No doubt Magic Jack. Are they still around? LOL. Even their USB dongle those years ago lagged my PC down like a ton of lead.

Facebook and all its crapp, along with gps location and carrier specific bloat, drain batt like hell, I turn gps location only when I need it, I do not know if they rely on google play services
I got a new note 9 for black Friday and updated it to the latest version of Pie. However after this I've noticed the battery seems to drain 1% every 5-10mins with wifi enabled on idle (even in flight mode/no-sim). I haven't switched over from my old phone yet so don't really have any new apps installed. I've tried a factory reset and clearing cache but still seems to be the same. The drain is even worse when actually using the phone or web browsing. With wifi turned off, idle time seems good(1% drain in 10hrs).
Anyone else experienced the same or know how I can find out what is causing this? I've spelt the last hour or so going through every thread, and here's what I've tried:
-Disabling background data usage on most apps
-Uninstalling non-essential bloat via adb
-Disabling auto account syncs
-Using wifi power saver & safe mode
-Using medium power saver mode
You probably flashed a messed firmware, why don't you try One UI 2.0?
They say battery is awesome there.
Mainly, when using WiFi, everything in phone starts running in background, check updates, download updates, ...
If you only want Pie, Uninstall Google Play Services, Join their beta program, and update to latest beta (or you can do it manually).

I've haven't used any custom firmware yet, just ota updates for now. One UI 2.0's beta program isn't available in my country yet, though the stable version should be here next month I hear. Thanks, will try the google play beta program. I've also been reading about battery historian, may give it a try to see if I can pinpoint what is actually causing the issue if that doesn't work.
