I dosabled google play services cause it eats up my ram and battery but im not sure what it does. My phone is still running fine.. Should i enable it back?
Also what is "devices"? What does it do and can i disable it as well?
Any other useless system running apps i can disable? Thanks.
I think Google play services is linked with Google Play Store, I'd be hesitant about to disable it.
Even if you disabled Google Play Service to get more free ram, Google Play will ask about it at the right time when you try to connect to it.
Ok so first day without the annoying google play service and i noticed a massive improvement in battery life. Before i was getting an hour of standby time per 1 percent battery. Now i got 7 hours from 100-99%. And then dont know why but the succeeding was about 3 hours per 1 percent after that. Still, massive improvement. I am currently on 2 hours screen on time. Surfing, youtube, gaming and texting. I still got 65% battery.
I can still use google playstore without problems. First time i clicked youtube it said i need to update and enable gp services for app to run but i ignored it and it is still perfectly fine. The notice doesnt come the 2nd time you clicked the app so all good. Same goes with maps. No prob at all.
So my conclusion is that google play services is nothing but bloat trying to steal your info every once in a while hence, the battery drain. Try it and you will see what i mean!

Obviously, the battery has been terrible on this device. I disabled Google Play Services for a day and I want to say my life tripled. However, not having Google Play Service is no way to live; can't access the Play Store, location services don't work, Gmail doesn't work, etc.
I've come across a way to disable only some of the Google Play Services via DisableService app. However, it needs to be rooted. I can't root it via PingPong because my Baseband version ends with 0F1
What are my options here? Wait til I can root it? Wait for 5.1.1 and put up with the subpar battery life? Anything else to significantly improve the battery?
If you have OF1, as of now there is no wait for root. Another exploit may be found but for now, if your on OF1, root is gone, possibly forever.

I would disagree that battery is terrible, but some basic battery saving techniques without root include dim the screen brightness, disable battery hungry apps such as facebook, S Voice, and instagram, use tasker to automate everything, turn off con.nectivity services such as wifi and bluetooth when not in use, and use greenify (even though root is required for this app to be automated). Also avoid using Googles widgets. Dont use vibrate mode either. Everything else requires root.
i dont have root. my battery is acutally great then when i first very bought the phone. i cycled the battery only to charge it at 2-5% left on battery to full did that for almost one month now and my battery has improved alot. i use the phone quite alot as well. my phone can last a whole day without charge. i have facebook instagram tumbler snapchat installed. using stock launcher as well. i just make sure to close all the apps ive used before my phone goes back into my pocket. when i get home i usally have around 33% battery left. oh i also keep a small powered fan next to my phone when its charging cause the phone does get little hot when it charges but keeping that fan on. when it charges it has changed alot my battery is way better.
Have you tried disabling S-health in App Manager?
Hey all,
Over the past month I've been getting unusual battery life out of my nexus 6. I now get somewhere around 1 hour and 30 mins SoT and I need to charge my phone during the day. I should say that before this month I could get up to 3 hours SoT no problem and without needing a charge in the middle of the day. I thought that maybe it was because I was running a custom ROM, so I went back to full stock with no noticeable differences.
I did some googling and decided to wait until Android M came along to see if that fixed my battery problem. Today, however, I was so baffled with my battery after using it for 17 minutes and seeing a 13% drop in battery. I feel that this is unacceptable. I have attached the screencaps of battery usage below. Can you guys offer any insight?
Thanks,

first off, google play services is using a lot of battery. usually this is normal, as it will use mire when its updating itself. but if it is high in use consistently, then its not normal. and over the coarse of time, your battery will hold less and less of a charge, but this usually will be a year or two before you notice any differences.

So this is something that I will just have to deal with for the time being? Or can i lessen the drain from google play services?
I just freeze most of Google play stuff wit tibu. yesterday I had 2.5hrs sot with 61% battery remaining. stock rooted 5.1.1
edit * do not freeze Google play services or Google app, just wanted to be clear that I freeze a lot of the Google apps that I never use. not sure if it has any effect on battery or not. I am guessing you have a wakelock issue.

if its as normal google play services drain, itll last only about a battery cycle. if its a service thats "stuck", then you would need root to get handle on it. you can always try just rebooting, that could fix it as well on occasion.

All day today i have been getting a pop-up saying Google Play Services is un-responsive. It gives me an option to force close, or wait. After i force close it, my battery is back to normal and phone isn't laggy.
Is there an underlying problem or is today just a bad day for my Google Play Services app?

it could be just today is a bad day for it(it does happen), or could be a problem. if it lasts more than 2 days, id say its a problem. of course, you can google google lay services apk, and just install tbe newest apk manually. which could fix it possibly.

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

Hi all,
Is anyone facing an issue with google play services draining the battery...I get so angry when I see that damn app draining my battery...the battery stats says it's running in the background...why, I don't know! It's recent phenomenon and has been running since the past 20hrs or so...how do I solve this? I'm not sure cleaning the data/ cache would be ideal as this would only lead to more drain since play services will try to download all the info that it has previously....any help will be greatly appreciated!
So 1% battery loss from a system service running for 20 hours in the background is a big problem...?
I'm a bit confused here...

Actually, it's a bit more than 1%...more like 23% over the past 6 days or so...here's the screenshot...I don't know if this apt battery usage or if google play services need to be given a knock on its head...

Ah, so 0.16% battery per hour. So a bit more than normal. What version of the phone do you have (which processor) and what apps do you have installed that weren't listed?
Also, how do you keep charging your phone so slightly as shown in the picture?
Oh yes, GPlayS will eat up the battery...
Download Karma Firewall and block Google Play Services. It may be shown by it's UID, on my 10+ it's 10044.
You can unblock it as needed like for Gmail or Playstore (block Playstore as well*).
Block Android Services as well, UID 1000.
It's pretty useless but polls the internet 2 times every minute, GPlayS is 4 times a minute.
On Pie Karma's logging feature works so I can see what each apk is doing or not... Q and up sucks.
*disable if you have a package blocker except when needed. A reboot is required and GPS must be unblocked too for Playstore.
Clear Google Play Services, Backup Transport and Framework data as well. Best to disable the latter two. Someone told the latter two aren't present in Q... I can't verify that either way.

Hi, I have the 21Ultra 12/256. The funny thing is that play services started acting up only lately...I have been using the phone for 1 week+ and this app starting going berserk just 20 hours ago! It's very likely a rogue update could have caused this issue and I'm sure if I uninstall the update all should be fine...let me do that and see how it performs...

My AT&T Note 10+ did the same thing and it wasn't an update that triggered it.
Power management was part of the problem.
I run now with all power management disabled except for fast charging and Optimized screen/cpu setting.
When I turn this phone off it goes into deep sleep...

Power management, you refer to the ones that show in the battery settings right? But I don't know how the battery power management settings relate to google play services drain...I have betterbatterystats and it shows that google play is the top most draining app...why I can't understand...
I have a feeling it's the feb update that's messing with the battery settings..Jan update was cool...is there a way to roll back to update before AUB6?
Here's an update...I uninstalled the updates to google play services and cleared the cache. Rebooted...and all's going well so far.
Definitely try out the suggestions made by @destz0r in the video that he left. I guess that I don't ever experience the same problem as I always leave location services disabled unless I'm directly using them for navigation. But I never would've guessed that GPS occasionally leads to more GPlay Service specific battery consumption (as I had thought that GPlay Services were primarily for inner-Google app data communication)...

I already had all those suggestions in place right at the time of setting up the device initially..but yes, uninstalling the play services update cleared the issue...for the moment...

Power management seems to create conflicts after a few days running. GooglePS includes Backup Transport and Framework. Even when turned off they continue to run in the background on my device.
Play with it, see what you find but don't ignore and let this trashware toast your battery.
