Google Services keeps my Nexus 7 awake and drains battery. - Nexus 7 General

How do I prevent Google's Messaging Service from auto-restarting?
See pics:
1. Google Services is the biggest battery hog in my Tablet:

2. My Nexus 7 that could once sleep for 13 days now barely lasts 3 days:
3. I manually stopped Google Services here (and also the Messaging Service component) 3 days ago, to enable the device to deep sleep:
4. Messaging Service somehow restarted itself, and is running and keeping the Nexus 7 awake 24/7, draining the battery:

You'll need to acres the issue with whatever app is using it, whether it be Hangouts or something else with push notifications.

Google services are so deeply integrated in JB that it is more efficient to let them run than to try to stop them...

Get Greenify and try to "greenify" those services. I just did it on my One XL and so far so good.

I did some more analysis.
Why is Google's PowerManagerService and SystemUpdateService not allowing my Nexus 7 to go to sleep?
Is it because I refuse to accept this terrible "update"?

Lmao.
Gnex = Cellular modem lol
Poor Gnex. I still use mine though but not as much. The N7 for emails, Gtalk, XDA, and internet. Really saves my Gnex from dying so soon.

Does Tablet Talk consume much battery on the phone and tablet?
I don't think so at all, but I'll double check today. I don't get a ton of texts and it operates over bluetooth so I wouldn't imagine it is much of a drain.
My photon has been downgraded to a wifi hotspot for my 7. Its been very neglected

LOL, n7's battery is very impressive. It stays alive for a long time after I hook it up with WiFi.

Facebook home is not available in the Play Store for D4, as it says its unsupported. I found the apk for it and tried it, but to no avail. Maybe it will eventually be supported, who knows

I've read nothing good about Facebook Home from those who've tried it.
Facebook messenger works (chat heads) without Facebook home installed....and that's the only thing I've heard people actually like about it.

Yeah I've heard it's not worth the trouble to add it to our unsupported device. besides, I'd quickly miss all my widgets

Read the forums. I found a thread about it the other day and installed the Xposed Installer.apk, then installed facebook home.apk inside of the installer. It installs as a module in the app. Possibly try that. I haven't seen anything interesting yet though.

Spotify Web

Just thought I'd mention as I cant see it posted anywhere that "Spotify Web" works great on N7 using the latest Firefox browser with flash installed, great now they have dropped the five play restriction on free accounts.

Great, thanks bud
This work over Data?
So I do have flash installed but this is what I get.

Flash is disabled by default in Firefox, have you enabled it in settings?
Yep that worked for me, I previously had plugins set to tap to activate, changing to enabled did the trick. Brilliant find I can now use my free Spotify account on my tablet without premium to make the app work.
It doesn't work with the the screen off or with Firefox in the background but it's handy none the less.

Forgot to mention there are a few addons for firefox to keep it in desktop mode to save you switching it manually, I'm using the "Desktop by default" addon.
Thanks, this will come in handy for the music I can't find on music unlimited, they had to lift the 5 tune restriction because people went to other premium services for less, got to pull people back in somehow.
Just looked at my playlists in spotify......nearly a year old.

Didn't work for me. Have plugins set to 'enabled' on desktop site, but no go.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Ahhh, it is just Google Play, who uses that anyway...
Has your phone continued to be crashy after the update or was it a one time deal?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
I've seen two issues. "The CW" has stopped, repeatedly. Uninstalled. S-health keeps prompting me to create a profile for my Gear 1 but I already have. Probably need to delete it and start over.
No issues for me after the update. Knock on wood.
Any signal improvements?
Sent using my T-Mobile Note 4
I've run into two issues since update:
1. Phone repeatedly dialed a phone number from call log on its own.
2. Couple of icons disappeared until I rebooted.
Other than the mentioned issues, update has been great. Noticeably faster and better battery life. Almost wish all the reviews between note were performed after update.

I have had that issue also along with s beaming not working properly. It will send the other use to Google play. I also have my phone force closing a lot. Darn T-Mobile! I should have known better.
I updated and lost root which was easily fixed, other than that I have no issues. This update fixed a few app glitches I have been having such as iheartradio uninstalling randomly and it also made the recent app button slightly more responsive.

Phone sleep

With you on that one. This phone has to have one of the worst sleep battery drain I've seen. Seems like an unfinished product with unpolished crappy software
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Agreed
I'm surprised there has been no software update with the gs7 series there were quick updates
Looks like the same bug from gs6 and gs7 are still present
Android os usage went down after I disabled wifi calling rather set it tp prefer cellular
LOL. Im a S7E user and I came here to read up on the new Note before I blew an Upgrade on Demand on it. The first thread I click on and it looks like the same battery problem still plagues it to this day. If you all are looking for a fix then I'm sure the S7 fix I posted a few months back will work. You can look throug my profile to find it. It should fix the "stay awake" issue.

I have no problem on mine, about 4% drain during 7 hr sleep. Once I disable programs I don't use I'm hoping for 2% drain, the same I'm getting on my old phone. I do manually kill programs I don't use often and I don't have any sync, auto updates etc. so that helps.
