That's crazy! What did you update or use?

Chances are, you have automatic updates enabled for the Play Store. It checks to see if you have it enabled and asks if you want to enable it if it isn't. It also presents you with a warning that data charges may apply if enabled.
Just check your settings and disable them.

[Q] why is google services framework hogging my data?

Hey guys, Google services framework is hogging my data badly. It passed from less than 1 mb a day to around 40 mb a day on March 12, 2012. Keeping like that until today. Take into account that I'm mainly on wifi . It's ruining my 500 mb data plan! I can't figure out what's going on.
Help please!
GNex, 4.0.2, Vodafone Spain
UPDATE I tried force closing Cloud to Device Messaging and nothing... Well, now the service is no more there and I can't see my device on google play at all. Tried force closing Google Services Framework, clearing data and rebooting with no results... :-( Any idea?
Hi, I'm also facing this problem. Did you find any solution ?

OnePlus One (Kitkat 11S50Q) Battery Drain

Hi I am running fully stock (50Q) Kitkat on my Oneplus One. I need some help figuring out how to stop my battery drain happening from Google Services/Google Play Services. I have already have went into privacy guard in app ops and went into Google play services and denied (Wake Up) and (Keep awake) but Google Play Services/Google Services is still showing up at the top of my battery usage. If anyone knows a fix that would be great.

Google Play Services highest battery user by a mile?

I noticed Google Play Services is by far the highest battery user according to my ZenFone 6, e.g. 40% out of 78% was attributed to it:

I know PS provides services for other apps and is not itself the main problem usually but all guides I read told me that it still shouldn't use that much battery. Is this normal or do I have to hunt for a buggy app? And if so, any ideas on how?
TIA

It is not normal, but I don't have installed your apps.
Google Play Services isn't present in my battery statistics at all, because it is probably lower than 1%.
It's a glitch. Mine does it too but I can still pull down a good day of battery sometimes more.
Also phone idle sits near the same as well which is also another glitch that needs to be fixed

Don't get me wrong, I usually still can go two days without problems but it still seems weird for PS to appear to drain so much
For what it's worth and for those who are interested, the latest beta update for PS seems to have fixed it

I face the same problem. How did you fix that.?
I am on Android 9 only without root.

Can't login to Google, no maps in apps, location issue. OP8T

Hello,
I've recently got OP8T and I was not planning to use Google account on it as I simply don't need it. But since the start I'm having issues with location GPS, the issue is when I'm inside buildings it's not finding location by network/BT etc. eventhough in settings I switched it on. Only GPS outside of buildings works. Another issue is that I do not see maps in different apps like uber or food delivery apps. So I thought the issue might be because of my lack of Google account login, but when I tried to login I get this error "Couldn't sign it - there was a problem communicating with Google servers".
So I'm a bit stuck with lack of network localization, lack of maps in apps, and can't login to Google.
Any idea how to fix any of those issues? Photos of those issues here: IMG
Thanks a lot.

from the screen shots you provided you do not have cell service.
is the radio broken or are you running without a sim?
I tried both, with sim and without. The solution was hard reset and now it works. Thanks for help anyway.

Question BT Connection Issues after Play Services Update

Hello
From time to time I have issues connecting my GW4 Classic LTE to my Pixel 6 Pro A13.
Today I updated my Pixel's Google play Services to the latest beta. After that, I received this notification (allow notifications for GW4):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I checked the notification settings permission:
It seems that I can't activate the switch because of restricted permissions (security):
Now The Galaxy wearable app can't connect to the GW4. Also phone can't hold the Bluetooth connection alive:
I had this issue before. Only factory resetting the watch solved this problem. But I don't wanna reset my watch every few weeks. Rolling back to previous play services changed nothing. Clearing play services app data also triggers this issue.
Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT: I allowed the restricted notification setting like the following instructions. But still no BT Connection. "No notification s possible" notification came back. GW4 only uses WiFi or LTE
Unless youre prepared to deal with the downsides of it, never update core apps like play services to a beta....
My own Watch 4 got its connection wiped just doing an update to a "stable" build from the play store overnight
There is no easy fix, i have to reset and restore from backup....
My ultimate point here is i wouldn't actively invite mayhem by using betas....
