Hi dudes!
There exists a new version from the Google Play Services. The battery drain (wakelocks) are gone. The older versions from play services (v7.x) takes 7-15% battery on my S5 and now with the new version: Max 1%, something nothing!
Here you can download it: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Before you install the new version, uninstall your old Play Services with root completely from your device. After the reinstall you can normally update every time.
Scroll down for all versions, because every smartphone needs another version (arm, arm64, dpi etc.)
To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device, go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses. You'll see something like -XYZ where:
* X defines Android version:
0 for Android = 6.0 after
7 for Android 5.0
8 for Android TV
* Y defines CPU architecture:
1 for armeabi
3 for armeabi-v7a
4 for arm64-v8a
7 for x86
* Z defines DPI:
0 for universal
2 for 160
4 for 240
6 for 320
8 for 480
Important Notes:
It seems that -4YZ builds got split into -2YZ for Lollipop and -4YZ for Marshmallow with Google Play services v8. If you were on -4YZ before, you should now install -2YZ in Lollipop and -4YZ in Marshmallow.
Looks like -8YZ builds are for Android TV.
Examples for Play Services 8.x:
-014 for Android
What if I flash open_gapps-arm-5.1-stock-20150910.zip and after flashing the zip, I installs above apk ? Will it work ?
Thanks.

Thanks.
After flashing the newest gapps, check the Play Services version in your app settings. It can be already installed after flashing the newest gapps, I don't know.
Ok. Thanks for reply. I am just going to flash the above gapps and if it is not what you have posted, then should I install above apk please ? Suppose it is different one, then can I install above please ?
Yes that's correct
I noticed that my phone had automatically updated Google Play Services to 8.1.14. Somehow. I turned off all the automatic updates I could find, but I did do a manual update on all my Google Play apps a couple days ago. It must have happened then.
I had a bigggggg problem with the wakelock bug keeping my phone from sleeping and draining the battery very quickly. When my phone goes to sleep properly, I get very good standby time. With the bug it drains almost completely overnight.
So far it's been okay, but every previous time I thought the problem was fixed, it came back after a couple days.
I will post again in a couple days with my findings.
Thank you for posting this update.
Please have a look at APKMirror. There is a new version 8.1.15 available.

I don't know how it's doing it, but my phone is updating itself. It's now at 8.1.15 (2250156-034). Besides, I don't see my version 034 on that site. I could have sworn I turned off all automatic updates everywhere on my phone. Does anyone know how this is happening?
Anyhoo, BTW, I'm running Kit Kat 4.4.2 on an HTC Desire 601, with HTC Sense 5.5. My Google Play Store says 5.8.8.
It's now gone about two days without the wakelock bug happening. I have not yet tried turning location services back on. I think I will wait a few more days until I answer your poll. It looks like someone else is still having an issue, unfortunately.

Please try this: Uninstall Play Services with root and than reinstall it.
Going to install 238 and will try and post my results when i have a proper sample size (or issues).
I am currently on Galaxy S5 w KLTEUSC Fusion Rom 6, Android 5.1.1, GPlay Services 7.xxx.438
Hope i understood the notes properly - as I read them, i should install 238 because the 438 is now exclusive to Android 6 (Marshmellow), yes?
Thank you OP!

Yes that's correct. But please Uninstall the old Play Services with root and than install the new version. That's Better and more helpful.
I have an old Galaxy Player (yp-g1) on I put few days ago cm11, and the battery was extremmely drained by GP services... I try this, I hope solves the problem, thanks!!
Thanks, hope this finally fixes the wakelock issues. Its been plaguing users for faaaaaaaar too long! I just installed over the existing play services, but rebooted and wiped dalvik/cache and also cleared data from play services. Will monitor over the next few days.
Here is what I have discovered will help with Battery drains when it comes to Google Services and I will share this with you
You need to get disableService, make a backup, and then disable a lot of unnecessary services.
In my case I disable
fit*
wearable*
cast*
chrome*
kids*
games*
The below 2 services will Drain your battery badly, but if you need them, do not disable them.
GoogleLocationManager
GoogleLocationSevice
FusedLocation
Geo*
I Leave NetworkLocation service on.
Please bear in mind that I do not use Google Maps, I use GPS based maps only.
If you use Google Maps, you can use process of elimination with those services but in my experience, leaving NetworkLocationService on was all I needed. GPS based maps are better because you do not need data, however oyu do need a large sized SDcard to store maps you have downloaded.
I also disable:
Analytics*
Ad*
* = Means anything related to the words preceding the *star - You can search in DisableService and it will show you all the services related to the key word.
In your ROM, Privacy Settings > Privacy Guard > Advanced > Location > Disable wakeup and keepawake for Google Play Services.
Google has simply increased it's bloat and will still be using GPS/Wifi/NFC/Data and Anything else it can use to connect whether you are in or out of range of any data services and will continue to cause Wakelocks.
The only way to keep Google from draining your battery is to manually manage everything on Custom Roms. If you are Stock and not rooted, best hope that your Manufacturer has taken the necessary steps to prevent battery drains. Most manufacturers do include some sort of settings to keep Google Services from causing problems.
TIP: If you want to move Google Services back into /System/Priv-App : You must go into /Data/App and into the gms directory, and copy the Libs first. Give the Libs the same permissions as they are in /System/Priv-App (644) rwrr
And then Rename Base.apk to PrebuiltGmsCore.apk or GmsCore.apk (whichever) and copy it to /System/Priv-App/GmsCore (or folder where your Google Services is) - Overwrite, and give the same permissions 644 rwrr - Now you can delete it from /Data/App and reboot the device. This will free up space on your data partition. Wipe your Dalvik cache to be sure.
Remember : Only disable services you do not need. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, I am here to help.
Pretty nooby question that i've been meaning to ask for quite a while now; in privacy gaurd, is "ignored" the equivalent of "disable" / "disallow"? Process of elimination tells me yes lol, just sort of confusing wording..
Okay guys. Another day without Google Play Services wakelocks. I'm beginning to think the problem has finally been fixed. I'm getting great standby time again, and this is awesome when everything works like it's supposed to.
However, it needs to be said that this whole sad affair has me thinking about iOS for my next phone. Battery life should be something sacred, and a bug that keeps your phone awake when there's no goddamn reason for it to be awake is like the worst possible thing.
What if you were counting on your phone to be there in an emergency and then when you went to use it you found that a wakelock had drained the whole thing?
And how on earth did it take so long to fix? And how can I be sure now that it will never happen again? I will never have confidence in my phone again. The only way to be sure you'll have battery when you need it is to turn it off.
(I also am not pleased with the whole Android OS update mess with the manufacturers and carriers. My phone is just a little over a year old and it's not even getting a single +1.0 OS update. That's pretty lame.)
Anyhoo, thus endeth my rant. Other than this one glaring issue, my budget phone is pretty awesome considering.
P.S. I haven't yet tried re-enabling location services yet. I will try that tomorrow and then maybe vote on the poll after that.
P.S.S. I am sad to see that a few people are still voting that their wakelock problem has not been fixed with the latest update of Google Play Services. I wonder what is causing the problem to persist for you guys.

Well I don't want to root my phone and start messing around with **** if the problem is gone? I'm good with computers but not with smart phones.
What would uninstalling and reinstalling accomplish exactly?
Besides my version "034" isn't listed on that APK site.
Another day without Google Play Services wakelocks.
I tried turning location services back on today too.
I feel like I have my phone back again.
I still have to try turning auto-sync back on. (What does that do again, exactly?)
I also have all automatic software updates turned off everywhere I could find them. I think I may keep those turned off just because they are so effing annoying.
Okay, so I finally voted in the poll after a week without wakelocks from Google Play Services. The issue seems to be resolved for me, knock on wood. Thank you to Solvin for the original post.
Unfortunately from the poll results it looks like half of us are still having problems. I wonder what the problem is for those still experiencing wakelocks.
Spoke too soon. Wakelocks are back. F-ck you Google. I regret not getting an iPhone.
Hi all, hope all is well. I encountered a problem on my OPO and I didn't manage to solve it, even after searching and reading relevant threads on this forum.
Currently my OPO (not rooted) is running Android 4.4.4 (stock Cyanogen OS 11.0). I am still running Android 4.4.4 as when Lollipop was issued many complained of battery drain issues so I didn't update. Yesterday, Google Play Services updated automatically to version 9.0.82. After the update Chrome, Play Store, Gmail and Google Now are exiting as soon as I try to use them. Thus, I decided to uninstall the Google Play Services updates and I manually installed a version (8.7.03) that doesn't cause the problems mentioned. However, this morning when I connected to WiFi, Google Play Services updated and the problems restarted.
Does anybody know how I can prevent Google Play Services from automatically updating please? If this is not possible, I am considering updating to Marshmallow with Cyanogen OS 13. Is it possible to update to the latter without updating to Lollipop please? Moreover, does the OPO suffer from major bugs/ issues when running Marshmallow please?
p.s: previously I denied both "keep awake" and "wake up" in the Privacy Guard menu of Google Play Services as it fixed the message "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped". Yet, this message is appearing again every time I connect to WiFi.
Many thanks, much appreciated!
Hi,
I've got a high battery drain problem with the latest Google Play Services (cmasystemupdateservices causing the wavelock).
There are a couple of reddits about this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/4jmw74/cmasystemupdateservice_wakelock/
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue..._is_cmasystemupdateservice_its_preventing_my/
but no solution.
I'm running 4.4.4 as well, but my wife's Lollipop phone doesn't have this issue. Given that its an update service causing the issue I wonder if this is Google's way of getting us to upgrade!
If this was affecting all Android phones I'd expect to see more of an outcry about it.
Regards.
I too have this problem. Now have to rolled back to stock play services. Any solution?
Unchecked all in Google play settings
@pda1ey thanks for the Reddit links! Unfortunately, as you mentioned they don't offer solutions to our problems.
@vl319 did Google Play Services autoupdate even though you rolled back to stock version please?
@drmuruga I think Google Play Services still autoupdates with those settings unticked.
Thanks to all for your feedback hope we find a solution.
After i rolled back to stock version, it doesn't auto update until now. But u will keep getting message saying apps wont run until play services is updated.... But it is fine for me.. I tried to reset app preference, disable greenify, amplify, privacy guard but none of these work. Probably we have to wait for new update or reinstall the device

I will follow your suggestion and roll back to stock Play Services. When I manually install Google Play Services 8.7.03 it automatically updates to 9.0.82 after a couple of hours. When you had version 9.0.82 were Gmail and Chrome force closing? Thanks!
I experience same problem on my wife's 4.4. cm and on my 5.1.1 android. Google play services automaticily updated to 9.0 and since then all google related apps is force closing. I noticed, that if I uncheck everything under google play services in privacy guard, apps will work, but then my phone's battery will go down the drain . Is it possible, that Google play services update only, when I open Play store and not completely automaticly?

I am using official COS13 and its stock version is 8.3.01, older than 8.7.03 and it doesn't auto update to new version. and i have no problem of syncing contact, calendar, keep and etc.
@vl319 my stock version is version 5. That's why I tried solving the issue by updating manually to 8.7.03. Unfortunately, my stock version is not compatible with the Apps I use. Thanks for the clarification!
@ircman maybe you can update to a newer version of Google Play Services on your phone to solve the issue. For instance, update to 9.0.83 or 9.0.82. Another user (drmuruga) in a previous post suggested to turn off automatic updates in the Play Store. However, I don't know if it works because I haven't tried it myself.

Sorry, I wasn't exact, now I am using 9.0.83. The problem apeared when the Google Play Services updated automaticaly to 9.0.83. Until that moment the phone and all the apps were working flawlesly. I belive that is something wrong with the newest version of Google Play Services, or that they don't want us to block things like Keep Awake, Location, Wake up, Auto Start (this things drains battery really fast).
Probably the only solution for now is to downgrade Google Play Services, and to somehow block automatic updates for Google Play Services.
@ircman as regards blocking the things you mentioned, I think you still can block them if you want.
Moreover, you can manually uninstall the updates of Google Play Services to temporarily solve the problem. Then either stick with the stock Play Services (vl319 clarified in a previous post that it won't auto update but some Apps might not work) or install a version of Play Services that doesn't cause problems as I did. However, after a few hours it auto updates and the problems start again. Thus, you need to repeat this process (I am repeating this process on average twice daily).
If anybody comes up with a permanent solution or has some advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone
I have the same problem you exactly with "google play service" in 9.0.82 release.
it drains my battery and my GPS connection has become very very slow (over 5 min) while with the 8.7.03 release I had no worries.
I am also in version 4.4.4 and I have my wifi, my connection and my GPS data which are off all the time except when I need them.
If anyone has a solution I'm interested

My problem with Google Play Services 9.0.82 is not related to battery drain and GPS. On my OPO 9.0.82 is causing some Google Apps to FC (as I explained in the first post).
If your OPO is rooted there are some solutions on this forum on how to block Google Play Services from updating. tc

OK thank you for your answer.
I actually did a search on the forum and I find an application that seems to do the job is "disable service" findable on the play store.
Please update to latest play services 9.2.xx. It solves the issue

I know there is a feature in titanium backup that allows apps to detach it from the market. Wonder if it works for play services.
Hi All,
I wrote another thread about battery life and I am happy to report it stabilized. I am averaging 4-5 hours of SOT with ~18 hours of total battery. But it does appear the idle drain is more than it appears. Not neccesarily looking for battery advice but rather feedback on limiting background services for Google Play Services, Google, and the Play Store with the App setting menuwill have unwanted effects on my phone?

I think it's OK to limit background activity of Google Play Store. Google Play Services is one another story though, I think.
EDIT: It seems to be acceptable to limit Services background activity. Check the link below.
Background Activity Limitation?
Hello, is it normal for Google Play services to consume so much battery?
Haven't noticed it before
I'm having the same problem , since the last update for play services. SOT has dropped by upto 1 hr.
Go to settings > apps and notifications > see all > click on the 3 dots > show system then force stop, clear data on Google play services, Google framework and Google play store, then reboot.
Tried the above mentioned steps, did a clean wipe of system
Using oos 9.5.9 with stock kernel and no mods, still having this terrible drain

Tried this but still the same. Google play services is the battery drain champion. Installing the newer versions didn't help either.
Install beta version of the play store...that will help a lot.. ?
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-16-7-99-release/
It might be a third party app issue.
Sent from my GM1913 using Tapatalk
try the beta
There is a known issue with the latest version just Google and see all the reports
I read something about it somewhere, something to do with APPs and ads.....
Some apps continue serving ads even when you device is not active.
This is one of the reasons if I can pay for a APP in will.
Do not download lots of apps, beware of ads.
Hi. I also had the same issue and found a fix. Basically this happened to me when I signed up for beta updates for Google app. Beta updates had some issues which made GPS used in backend all the time which caused huge battery drain. After I came out of beta program, reset app data and back to stable release. Everything is back to normal now. Try and let me know.

Well, I was on the stable Play Services with high battery drain (15%). I'm on beta from this morning, we'll see how it goes.
Had a Huawei Mate20x before, absolutely no issue with the Play Services (same version). Weird how this affects only certain phones.
Try going into Settings > Google > Ads > Tick on to "Opt out of personalized ads". This worked for me when I was getting bad idle drainage.
Definitely opt out of those personalized ads!

After going through settings i realised that wifi scanning was always on,i turned it off and since then battery is slightly better
I bought op7 pro yesterday and so far no drain (no more than 2%) But I noticed I have newer Google Play Services than people reported as problematic. It seems Google has fixed the problem, in my case at least.
On my phone I have 19.0.56 version and I did not do anything to install that version.
Hello folks,
since a few weeks i'm having huge battery drain which most likly is from google play services.
I installed better battery stats to check the wakelocks.
According to the settings google play services is taking 23% of my battery which is way to much.
The top kernel wakelock is PowerManagerService.WakeLocks with 14,7% (see screenshots).
The top process is logd but i already disabled this process by renamaing the logd file in system/bin.
In WLD google play services triggers 1250 times.
I don't really know what to do it really sucks. The strange thing is that play services is not draining my battery every day.
Sometimes it doesn't affect my battery and sometimes it does.
Can someone help me with this?
Greetings,

I'm using play services 19.0.56 don't know if this version is also affected :/
I'm using the latest beta version from apkmirror and have no enormous battery drain with that.
I disabled logd process and installed oxyTweaker and for now it seems to be fixed.
I'll keep you updated.
