HELP! Google Play Services drained 2GB in less than a day! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Google Play Services is killing my data plan. I did some research on the forums and I am assuming this is because I just installed CM and my nexus is trying to download the new 4.4.3 update. What should I do to make it stop? I Read that for some people checking the restrict background data box works but it doesnt for others. Also read about an app called DisableServices but also came across mixed results.
Can anybody help me?

I though this was fixed in their latest builds? Which build are you on?

I thought so too. But apparently is trying to download. I was on 4.4.2 and then installed cyanogenmod 11

Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
Go to System apps, google services and then disable "SystemUpdateService". This should fix it afaik,

Seems like the issue where the phone keeps downloading 4.4.3 over and over.

[Q] System Update - Eating up my battery... any ideas why? or fix?

Hi, need some help. I recently installed the 'Battery Stats Plus' app on my note (n8000) because when i checked my battery status it showed that my phone kept waking up. what the app showed was that software update is eating up >15% of my battery which is really odd. btw. i'm running on omega 2.1 only connect via wifi (no sim inserted). anyone else have such an issue? i wanted to disable software update but the system doesnt allow it. any advise?

A guess is that you have OTA turned on and its continually trying to update even though its not a Samsung firmware .

[Q] Google Maps update

I've been reading articles about a recent major update to Google Maps, but so far nothing appears to have changed on my phone (or tablet, for that matter) and the Play Store tells me I've got the latest.
Anyone know what gives with this? Does anyone have the new version?

Good for a laugh first thing this morning lol
Thanks. Didn't realize they maintained different "versions" of the app targeted to specific O/Ss and devices. Hey -- my app runs on anything from 2.3 up!

The lastest update really does suck !
I was on the free way, but it showed my position on the street next to the free way. It had never happened before the update. So I don't recommend people to update. And my GPS signal is pretty good (16/25 sat.), so there is nothing wrong with my gps, but the app itself.
Agreed, if you can keep from updating, definitely hold out. Mine wouldn't keep up with my position in navigator and it was telling me to turn in directions which weren't even possible. They've introduced some major bugs with this update. I reverted back to an older version and I'm good to go now.

I want to say it's syncing issues, but I can't remember for sure. At any point, have you been out of range of wifi, or if not on wifi, poor data connection?
I will try to remember what caused the issue for me, because I have seen it before.

WiFi connection is strong, I was on WiFi the entire time this happened.
I just clean flashed so I am going to see what app was causing this, if you remember feel free to let me know.
Thanks!

I am rooted.
Check apps in Superuser and double check you gave it root access?

I get the same thing
The app is not updated for lollipop. It has not been update for about a year April 2014.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
Try Better Battery Stats, it's in the Play Store and there's a free XDA version.
that's partially wrong...it work on other lollipop devices

Someone else was able to get this working on his S6, but he is not rooted and he followed these instructions: https://docs.google.com/presentatio...F7z06_ysl1kUKME4/edit#slide=id.g259567f19_051
I am rooted and it is not working for me but I can't be bothered to do all of that.

Yeah, I've since stopped worrying about it.
I wish BBS was easier to read the wakelocks. I liked WLD because it was easier to understand which programs were causing problem. I can see processes in BBS, but don't know what they are attached to

WhatsApp battery drain issue (MobileRadioActive?)

Hi, im facing a major bug on every ROM ive tried, atm im at Temaseks CM13 CAF v10.7 issuing the problem ill list below in the pics

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I dont think whatsapp consuming more battery than my screen is a normal behaviour so:
After some googling i can see that maybe mobile radio active is bugged over mobile connection, so can anyone confirm if u faced this issue and how u fix it if yes?
Im trying to isolate this bug with my user knowing, i dont know how to get into deep logs or modify system cfg to do any kind of isolation...
So maybe this forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393 fixes my thing but is originally intended for LP and newest versions support MM, the thing is some MM users are reporting bootloops or nothing at all.
I dont have xposed installed either, sooo, ill be happy with any confirmation [emoji14]

Flashed xposed and installed version 1.3 of the apk, phone booted and further testing on the way.
Thanks for the interest.
