Go to playstore, your installed apps, uninstall Google Duo, and click on 3 dots and uncheck automatic updates.
Confirmed on 2 phones and it works.
Future solution, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and root your phone, uninstall with Titanium backup every google app that you don't use

Download AccuBattery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery&hl=sr_LATN
And look at what app is eating your battery away, uninstall it or update it, or maybe clean cache and force stop it

Hi,
Try unchecking automatic updates for all apps in google play. so disable auto update in google play. it solved my problem. (sor far lol)

Uninstalling the updates then unticking auto-update did make the difference. Phone is back to normal.

No data or wifi connection

I'll try to keep this brief.
My wife and I both have stock standard HTC Aria's running Android 2.2. A few days ago my wife complained that her battery was discharging really fast. Then a day later mine started doing the same thing.Going flat in a few hours of standby. Normally at the end of the day they would both still have 8 out or ten bars still lit. I turned off wifi, mobile and bluetooth on both phones and that seemed to fix the battery problem.
Now when I turn on wifi or 3g I cant connect at all. My wifi router shows up in settings but it constantly is scanning-connecting-disconnecting. Also cant connect to 3g.
I have tried another sim card but the problem is the same.
As I said, these phone aren't rooted in any way. Have very few apps. Basically used as a phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe you can try a new battery. Or, if you still have warranty, give it back to service.

You can try a factory reset as a last resort

Thanks dansou but the problem is not the battery. I believe the power was draining because an app was trying , constantly, to access the wifi which will not connect.

Just did a factory reset and everything seems ok.
Just one other problem: When I log in to google play it is showing that I have 2 apps installed (airdroid and astro) These are no longer on my phone but google doesn't want to believe that. I've tried to trash them and tried installing them but nothing happens. It just says "These apps will be un/installed shortly"
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You may have already tried this, but maybe a reboot would do the trick. If rebooting doesn't help, you can use a file manager to take a look into Data>Apps or System>Apps and see if you can find their .apk files there and delete them. If you aren't rooted, you won't be able to delete them, and I'm not sure what you should do if that happens. If they aren't there, then it's probably just a graphical glitch and is showing what really isn't there.
EDIT: Sorry, I read your post wrong. Go into the app details of Google Play Store and select both clear data and clear cache, and that should solve the problem. If not, try rebooting.

Hi aster.
I'm going to sound like a real noob here but where exactly do I find the options for clear data and clear cache? I've attached a screenshot of my google play screen.

Oh my bad, I wasn't really clear about that. It's actually in your phone settings, not the settings in the Play Store.
So you open up Play Store in 'Manage Applications' as if you were trying to uninstall it. In that menu, you'll see options like Force Stop/Disable. Scroll down, and you'll see the 'Clear data' and 'Clear cache' options, and there ya go. I hope I explained it well.

Unfortunately I don't have Play Store in my applications. In the screen shot I attached you can see Google Play Services showing as installed. That is another one of the apps showing as installed that are not actually on the phone.

If it's showing that only on the website, you shouldn't have to worry about it... It does that
It's probably showing them for the "old" one, before you did a factory reset

Oh I see now. I'm sorry, I thought you were saying that the phone was showing it.
Like WinSuk said, I don't see the problem if it's only showing it on the website. It could be showing what's installed on your wife's Aria if you two are sharing an account.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit confused here.
The apps that I mentioned; Airdroid, Astro, google play etc are showing as being installed on the google play web site. These apps are no longer on my phone after I did the factory reset. Therefore I have no way to reinstall the apps as google play is telling me they are already installed.
Is there another way to do this? Can I dl the apk files from somewhere else and install them manually?
Thanks again for all your help

You don't have the Play Store installed on your phone? If that's the case, you need to search up on google to find the apk file for it. Once you do that, you should be able to install the other apps you've mentioned.
Sorry if I misunderstood you again. I'm getting pretty confused here also.

Update:
I managed to install airdroid and Astro through Android Market app (was that the precursor to play store?)
Now when I log in to google play it shows those two apps as installed. Everything else is showing in "other apps in my library" waiting to be installed. I think I'll leave it at that. My airdroid is working again :good:
Thanks for every ones help.

Yep, the Android Market was renamed to the Google Play Store.
It'll eventually update automatically on your phone and change back to the Play Store

[Q] High wakelock count and battery drain (New Google play service).

Hey.
Few days ago, i have updated the google play services to 6.1 version.
After that a new kind of wild wakelock appeared. No idea why. I can't find anything about that one.
This wakelock is called : "wake:com.google.android.gms/.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService"
And it's growing all the time, and it happened only after the update. I've lost after i unplugged (80%) ~20% in about 1hr with screen off.
I'm using Archidroid 1 (Newest one) on latest beta of boeffla kernel. And apart from that was everything fine.
Tried to clean Google play services cache and data. No results.
Screens below.
Same thing happened to me today on Nexus 4 with CM11M10
EDIT: I think it is related to WearableService under Google Services, I killed it and the situation has significantly improved. Try doing it on your device and see if it helps.

I probably managed to get rid of the same wakelock.
#1 install Disable Services app from Google Play
#2 open it, go to "system" tab
#3 find Google Play Services, open, find "Wearable Services" & untick it
#4 et voila, ready

I also had this problem. I additonally disabled the following services in Google Play Sevices:
"com.google.android.gms.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService"
"com.google.android.gmx.config.ConfigFetchService"
and all other services with the word "fitness" or "wearable" (as my former poster already said)
Hope I could also help
Thanks guys for help!
I have solved this by reverting back to older version
But i ll update to 6.1 today, and try to disable those services.
Thanks again !

Edit: I have seen you use the Galaxy S2 (GT-9100) ... This could be something different from the S3 (GT-9300)
Is there no other thread available that deals this problem with your phone?
Can you say someting about your phone?
Do you really have a Galaxy S GT-9300?
Which Version is your Google Play Service?
Which Version of Android do you use?
Do you use a custom rom?
What is listed at top of the 'Google Play Serices' in WLD? Is it still the same like that posted by the thread starter?
Best wishes

I tried but no real improvements unfortunately on my Xperia SP (modded stock 4.3), now reverted to stock play services and battery drain disappeared but nothing works...
Update...
I noticed that the battery drain was really greater if the signal quality was bad...
So if I've good signal quality I haven't same drain than if with bad signal...and there was a BIG difference...
It's normal?

Xposed framework
Hi there,
i've had the very same problem for a cpl weeks and finally found what worked for me :
I had an Xposed module named 'Disable Google Network Location Consent'.
I just had to disable and uninstall the module (click and hold onto it in the module section of xposed).
Reboot.
et voila!!
Big thanks to my friend AoEKiller here on XDA and in RL for the help on that!

I'm still having this issue! Just found this thread recently and installed "Disable Service" app and unchecked those 'wearable and fitness' services.
I hope it really works! Fingers crossed.
Seems to work for me, this has been bugging me for a while.
But I don't like disabling stuff I don't know what they do. What are the fitness and wearable services?
EDIT:
Thought it worked, it didn't... I will have to monitor WLD to see what casues the wakelocks on my phone. I CAN get rid of it but as soon as I start to install apps it comes back.
Stuffs for android wear?
It seems like nobody else is getting this error. I'm from the moto g 4g forums and I haven't found anyone else with this wakelock. From now, I'm using disable services app, but I thought that with the new play services update it should be fine. Guess I was wrong
Maybe some weird conflict with play services and some app(s) that not all users uses? Bad idea?
Seems that I've partially solved the issue disabling the service:
UserPresenceService
After disabling that service wakelocks.was really solved...

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

Overheating and LAG in redmi note 2

Hi. has given me a familiar one redmi note 2 which gets too hot on the upper back, and works very slow opening apps and in any action. I installed a global rom fastboot and it works just as slow. I've passed Antutu and it gives me 54,000 points, which makes me doubt if it's a software or hardware problem. What do you think about it?
I have the same problem from Yesterday with redmi note 2 prime
I flash so many roms and the slowliness happend only after gapps install o trying to run google apps.
Today i have the same problem. Its propably bug from google play because i cant open it.
It's google play services bug, find way to reset data of it and get it back to old version, install latest google play store from apk, add your google account back(should be all gone after resting services data) and after google services updates it should be fine. That's more or less how i did it.
Edit: For friend that's also using this old guy it fixed itself after letting phone stay and sync for about 20 minutes.

It happened by itself. Patience is needed and external cooler is an option to reduce the heat.

Thanks for answering. I have the last global rom. It does not let me uninstall play store. How can I uninstall it? And what version should I install and where do I download it from?
Same problem here. After factory reset there is no problem but after I update Google Play Services problems are back. Endless sync, not working Google Play store (stays blank and not showing any apps), Chrome not loading pages, huge battery drain on google play services. Nothing helps for me. Did you guys managed to get normal working phone?
This problem seems to affect only mobile phones with mediatek processor and not just xiaomi, also to other brands.
I have left the phone whole night syncing. Did not help at all...
Keeps forever in notifications: Current syncing item: Google Play services.

Go to Installed apps find Google Play Store and Uninstall updates, then let it sync. It should work that way.
Someone actually found a solution to this issue:
1. Go to Phone Settings
2. Next Accounts
3. Choose Google
4. Then click Manage your Google Account
5. There will be a white screen - here at this step we just wait until the screen comes to life (about 5-10 minutes)
6. Enjoy!

Thanks! This works!!
!....Solved.....!
WOW.....It totally worked for me. Thank you very much.
How?
I think I am just being dumb, but I cannot find this in the settings. I am on MIUI 9. Where did you find this?
Yes this works, big thanks!!! But on the new update of Google play services from yesterday I got the same bug. So we will need to do this every time when there is update for Google play services

Question [FIXED - look edited OP] Phone always polling location

Hello everyone. Since yesterday my phone has been polling my location constantly. I didn't find any issues with security (Malwarebytes scan), I'm not using any weird app not from the Play Store, I didn't change any setting and the privacy setting is not showing like any app is asking for location constantly. Are you experiencing anything like this? How would you go about fixing this issue? Thanks.
FIX: Google Play Services 22.45.17 solves the issue. If you didn't get the update you can get it on APKMirror at your own risk.
Same issue here! I guess we should wait for a Google Play services update

I've been digging a bit more and looks like it's not due to Google Play Services. I checked and it polled the location data in the background correctly without triggering the icon in the status bar. There's something else, maybe proprietary to Motorola, that's freaking out and using location all the time.
I don't see the battery being affected though. Did you?

No effect on the battery either here. When did you start seeing this issue? For me it was yesterday.
Last week, then it stopped after disabling and re-enabling all locations setting. Yesterday it happens again
The only new app i installed before it happening was the Google health connect

For me, as of today, it didn't stop disabling and re-enabling the location access. It stopped for a while, but started back showing the location icon after a while. No amount of reboots and checks solved anything.
Have you joined the beta on Google app, Google play services etc? The only thing I didn't try is to unroll from all beta versions

I'm not on the beta Google Play Services app and didn't want to roll back because I think it's gonna mess up something for sure! Also, from what I can see, if you disable and enable the location service and check after a short while the authorizations for the Google Play Services you'll see that it uses location data briefly and correctly in the background without any issues. I think that's not the culprit.

No shot, I don't know what to do about it really. It just happened suddenly one day and doesn't seem it's gonna fix itself anytime soon. Do you any other people experiencing this issue? Other recent posts about this issue?
Brothers, any good news in this issue?

No good news unfortunately. I keep reading online about people having the same issue and nobody knows how to fix it. It's getting ridicolous at this point, really. Someone should get a hold of Google. I tried sending an email through the Play Store, but I got an email back saying that they don't monitor that email address anymore and got sent back to the useless FAQ page.
@dielle27 @Sultan M I got suggested to try to boot the phone in safe mode but it happened again. Wanna try that and let me know?
I received a new update with November system patch, but location icon is still there.

Got the update too but didn't install it because another user with an Edge 20 is on the same patch and they can't make the icon disappear even for just an hour at the time. On their phone it's on ALL the time, no matter what. So I'm holding off the update.
If i disable and then enable again the location setting, the icon disappears for a while, so for me nothing changed with the update

I've seen that on other forums for other phones they suggested a rollback of the Play Services. I tried but it didn't work. Can you try aswell and let me know if it's a solution for you? Thanks!
It didn't work as well. At least battery life isn't affected, but it's pretty annoying as well to not have a resolution after an official update
