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.

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!
Settings > Storage > cached data. Clear it and reboot.
Went from 5% drain with 45mins awake time, back to not registering as a drain with minimal awake time.
Let me know if it works for you.
Edit: The Google Play service was called ApiService in Settings>Apps>Running and hasn't returned.

Had a strange one last night with a Google+ linked website asking me to log in. I was already logged in to Google+. Meanwhile the little white LED blinked all night. Battery showed Google Services gobbled up 60% of the charge.
I have it updated, no drain, didn't do anything special apart from already having Google Play Services' location Services disabled in the "Disable Service" app.

You might not realize it's there if you have other Google Play Services being used. Overall it drained about 3%-5% of my battery with 30-40mins of awake time.
The service was called ApiService under one of the Google Play Services found in Settings > Apps > Running. Since doing this it hasn't come back. Also clearing this data cache doesn't cause you to lose any settings.
Updating the original post with a screen shot.
It worked for me !
I think clearing cache will be a new thing to do when I will have issues in the future. I lost this habit when I decided to stay stock!

Tried to clear the cached and it did get rid of the api services, but I still have the other play services running all the time. The pictures show the three services and the services inside the three main ones. I watched a 3 minute video on uTube and my battery went from 100 to 98 after.

Those will always be there even with Locations off. The ApiService is the unexplained drain, good to see it got rid of it for you also.
My personal fix is to revert Google Search to 3.3.11.x
And then Google Play services stopped going haywire.
Also, turn Location Reporting off.

Exchange Services seemed to be draining the battery - it usually doesn't show up when I look under Settings > Battery to see what's running, now that I got a few settings tweated related to Google Play Services and Android OS - down 20% in a few hours after a full charge isn't the "usual" for my usage pattern.
I've noticed that the battery life got worse with the latest 23.5.A.1.191 update. With previous version I could leave the phone on desk overnight and the battery did not drop at all (flat line in the battery usage graph). Now with the Stamina comeback I can see a 10 to 15% drop overnight. Can you please share your ideas what settings I should look into to fix it? Thanks
Have u check your wakelock? Play services often do this idiot bug.
Yes, Play services was the app draining the battery, but I remembered that I installed Google Fit in the meantime. Additionally something got messed up with the location after the last update, so I did not see a detailed route but just a large circle on the map in Fit (maybe permissions for gps location?).
However uninstalling Google Fit fixed it. I woke up today and saw a flat line in the battery usage.
I leave data usage over night and , since I have this phone, my battery draining from Google Play services is abnormal. I only synd gmail, no other service, no other permission. I've used Gservicefix without any result. Does anybody know why?

There are lots of reasons why Google Play Services are eating your battery, try a few fixes yourself, check which version of Play Services you have installed , anything older than 9.4.52 needs replacing.
Remove your google account, wipe data for Play Services and Download manager, restart to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Restart phone, add account again.
There seems to be issues with fitness trackers and bluetooth, if you have bluetooth on all the time, see what happens if you turn it off?
I can recomend Greenify app that can make a difference in putting apps to sleep, it also helps you see which apps are awake and on.
Check in settings/developer options/running services to see what's on and using most memory, you might be surprised at what you find. To enable developer options go to settings/about phone - press on build 8 times, then you get a message that develper options are availabe in the settings menu.

the first couple of days after an update or a factory reset, google play services collects a lot of information. It should go back to normal after some days. Anyway, I can give you some suggestion to limit the battery drain:
- new Stamina is a rebrand of the normal battery saver. Don't keep it always on.
- if you want something reminding the old stamina, download Greenify, follow instruction for adb command to enable Aggressive Doze and enable Doze on the go. Take away optimization from battery advanced setting for apps you need push notification from (e.g. whatsapp)
- disable wifi scanning when wifi is off (search in settings wifi scanning, though the search button. If your language is different from English (US) and you don't find the setting, switch to English (US) to find it)
- restrict google play services background data when not in wifi
- in account/google disable the sync for whatever you don't strictly need (play newstands, g+, ...)
With this settings, I can get 5 hours sot in a couple of day of usage, and almost no battery drain over night.
Well, my daily use consist on:
- Traffic data always on
- watch clock when needed
- +-45min WhatsApp
- Some random search.
- Some rare use of torch
- Sync with Gmail(ONLY Gmail)
I only use wifi for updates and don't have any gps or bluetooth use...Battery last above 48h this way and google services hast half of time with radio antena on.
If I don't restart my phone after charging overnight, Google Play Services eats more battery than anything else on the phone.
If I reboot it seems to stop as is slowly slips down the list, but with out a reboot it remains the heaviest user and my battery drains significantly quicker.
Is there any reason for this? I have turned off background data for the app, don't have location services or anything like that switched on... It seems like some process starts while the phone is charging that fails to stop when unplugged.
Hello.
Google service include "push" gmail/ contact synchronisation and over things. So that depend on what you use on your phone.
Google Backup quite often starts while the phone is plugged in.
Other services can call GPS to start, sometimes apps request location info that causes location services to fire up. I seem to have an ongoing issue with Google contacts, constantly starting, even though I don't have my Google account sync enabled and the address book is based on a CSV. file import.
Unlock developer options (settings\system\about phone\ press build number 8 times) and look in running services, see if there are some other apps running that may start it.
GPS battery drain has haunted every model and make of phone I've ever had.
How else are Google going to transfer your every button click, movement, location and (if some people are to be believed) voice recording back to their HQ?

I have exactly the same problem on my Galaxy S7. Still trying to find a solution.
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.
