Hey guys, I have a note 5 and I tried to look into battery drainage because it's been quite crappy lately, if I don't touch my phone it losses about 7-10% per hour and I looked
into what drains the most when my phone is not in use, google services 70% of my battery, is there a fix for it?
Thanks!
*Sometimes it changes it's name to google play services
Try wiping the system cache or do a factory reset.
Having the same issue. Wiping the system cache worked for about a week or so then it came back. Factory reset is not a option right now. Has to be a better option than a factory reset. I did try removing the updates to google play services and reinstalling them with no luck. I also tried removing all google accounts and re-adding them with no luck.

My Moto X (2014) arrived two days ago. Battery life is pretty bad - noticed that the "Google Play services" process under Battery seems to take up a lot, more than anything else. My Location is set to "Device only". But under the History battery details (the chart with the battery drain), it shows "GPS on" always - any ideas why?
I turned Google Now off entirely BTW. Turning off location entirely stops GPS from being on but on my old android phone that was always on, just GPS would know be used in Google maps, etc.
Also have "google play services" as my largest battery drain on lollipop. Was just going to start a thread...ugh.
So I've got 2hr SOT right now and google play services is STILL the largest drain. I've cleared cache partition, and did a reset. Any ideas?
On kit Kat, it wasn't even in the battery usage statistics..

Same here.
I almost have same battery time like with KitKat, but now play services is #1 battery user even with 3h SOT. I don't know why and how to stop it.
Interesting, I found the culprit. The Weather Channel app was constantly accessing GPS and that kept the Google Play Services app awake. Uninstalling the app did the trick. Of course it took a full factory reset and a lot of time installing and uninstalling various apps.
Phone: Moto G2 XT1068
ROM: Stock MM (final)

Xposed + GravityBoxMM
Like many on MM I have been getting the dreaded 'Google Play Services' service draining up to 20% of my battery. It didn't start straight away but developed over time.
After extensive log combing and forum trawling, the best I could find was to disable some of the sync services I didn't need in my Google account. This only helped a little.
I was all ready to factory reset and perhaps try a battery friendly ROM such as AOSP, when the thought occurred to me to try wiping my cache first, so I did.
It was like getting a new phone. It's now more responsive (I hadn't noticed that it was laggy until the lag was gone, so it can't have been that bad) and the mystery battery drain was gone. Yesterday I plugged it in before going to sleep with 38% remaining and more than 2 hours screen on time. Google play services wasn't even on the list of battery eaters.
This might not work for everyone, but it's an easy thing to try.
[TL;DR]
Wipe your cache in TWRP, it might make things a whole lot better.
I'm having some problems with battery drain and also with high CPU warnings because of google play services. Everything is up to date. The warnings seem pretty random, and the battery drain some days in none existant, but the following day it will lose 20% in a couple of hours on standby and otherwise unused. I have cleared the cache, I have cleared the cache and data for all the google services I could find. I have deleted my 3 google accounts and re-added them.
Deleting the data and cache from the apps does seem to help, temporarily, but in a few days the problem is back.
My Note 8 is the Exynos UK version.
Does anyone else have these issues and is there a fix? My Mrs has the same thing happening on her S8.
Thanks.
Same Issue on my Note 8
This issue started 2 days ago, it's completely drained my battery and when i usually have 40% left at the end of the day, my battery was dead by 3 PM which is ridiculous. Checked the battery usage and Google Services is taking a massive amount of battery. Any idea of the cause? The drain slows when i put it on power saving mode i need this fixed!

People in household with note 8 and s7 both having issue. Worse, device maintenance allows you to close Google play services via a notification which disables many functions for the non technical user.
Hopefully a fix is coming.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy S7.
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
Hello,
I own this device for more than a year now and suddenly my battery doesn't last nearly as much as it used to. This wasn't the case a month ago.
It just started happening out of nowhere. Nowadays I am getting 2 hours of SOT (3 if I am really lucky).
The battery stats give the highest % consumption to android system.
I tried searching the web for a solution but to no avail. Many recommend a factory reset to fix but I can't get myself to do that because I use this phone 99% for work.
Can you guys help me even slightly improve the battery life of my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Hi , something eat your battery.
Better Battery Stats (from xda) let you find what can be guilty.
You can delete cache and data only for this application.
If this is autostarted app, you can use sd maid for block autostart possibility.
If the guilty is a system part, factory reset or installing android again can be the only option.
I was facing the same issue on my Xiaomi. After applying these fixes, my battery life is normal now. You can try these solutions.
