Its installed and enabled for me. I had an update for it not too long ago, but don't remember when exactly.
Enabled here
Sent from my Pixel 2
Seems to be disabled for me, but I actually had to go into the Play Store to find any indication that it existed on my device (not visible amongst my installed or disabled apps).
I wondered whether it might be related to my having disabled Messages and GMail (I don't use either), but enabling them didn't seem to change this.
It's disabled for me, same as Large Hadron
I think it disabled or enabled depending on the service provider(sim card) you are using,so better to keep it as it is.
In my country we don't have wifi calling.
Enabled here. Updated yesterday.

Earlier I made a factory reset via the recovery mode because the phone became laggy a lot, and since google now stopped working and I can't even turn it on in the settings next to it there is "Google Now requires location services which are not available" written.
I've been using google now since the day it came out, I live in tunisia and I've never had this problem before.
any solutions?
silly question but did you make sure location options where on? I know when I upgraded to KitKat GPS/Location was off by default.

Checked upon everything, Maybe the service is no longer available in Tunisia.
same issue here
Is anybody else having issues getting the new "Trusted Places" Smartlock option to work?
I have 2 google accounts, root access and a custom kernel, and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Running Official Lollipop Factory Image and Franco Kernel.
I have location services turned on for both accounts, and I've also tried using Google Maps defined locations and Custom Locations to my exact position, still get a pin lock prompt every time.
Applied the xxx.438 file from APKMirror.
Cheers All.
I am running stock Lollipop on my N5. When I told trusted places to use my work address it didn't work. I modified the address a little (large campus) and it worked then. However as I walk around the campus the screen will lock again. When I used the map to mark my location, it worked as well. At home it works great. Only caveat is battery life seems to take a slight hit using Trusted Places. The GPS fires up when you wake the device up at the PIN screen.
I just wish Google would have allowed WiFi locations as well. I had a Tasker / Secure Settings profile setup that would unlock based on WiFi that worked great. Secure Settings isn't 100% Lollipop compatible yet. The developer is said to be working on it.

I'm guessing the OP has the latest version of Play Services since he is able to add a trusted place and he said he applied the xxx.438 apk.
thanks - didn't realize op meant .438 apk for the 6.5 play services.
Cheers all. A new revision of 438 was released today. Working properly now. Thread can be closed.

Still doesn't work for me...
Doesn't seem to work for me...
Using the Google Play Services 6.5.87 (1599771-438), I set my trusted location to a custom location that's the place where I am (at home) - not the google maps location as it is a bit off - but I always need to swipe the pattern. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else for whom it doesn't work?
It works just fine for the trusted devices and I can see the location icon in the status bar every time I unlock the phone.
Hey everyone, my play services updated last night to 6.5.87. I keep my location on "device only" to tame the wakelocks and since the update my GPS icon turns on every time I unlock my screen. When I go to location it says that play services was using "high battery" location. This is really annoying as "device only" location was awesome for me. It would get rid of the npl location wakelocks and GPS worked great when I needed it without having to switch to "high accuracy". I'm running stock 5.0, unrooted. Has anyone encountered the same issue? Or can anyone that's running the same play services check if it occurs to you too? Thanks.
Are you using smart lock with location setup? If so that's why. Did the exact same thing to me when testing it. Even worse it never worked when in doors because the GPS couldn't ever see me.

Nope. I only have my moto 360 setup as a trusted device/smart lock. Trusted places is set as "none" That's why I'm so confused why it started happening.
I am getting this too. Haven't narrowed it down yet. Might be one of my greenified apps.

The thing is, if you look at location services, it tells you that google play services is the one that's requesting the GPS location.
Hi.. I have a problem. When I'm not using wifi, I find google play services always draining a lot of the battery... the % is always between 10-15% after many hours. I did some changes hoping that it would fix that... like I only sync emails with my 3 google accounts, I disabled totally google now, i disabled google location history and set location to wifi-mobile. But it still drains too much (i think, whats your % on google play services?).
Is there anything else I could do to lower the drainage? I have many apps installed but I cant think of anything that could cause that.
Thank you!
PS One thing I really dont get: why in wifi its not even listed in the list of the apps draining memory, while in mobile data its so high?
Make sure always scanning for wifi is off because that setting always enables if you use GPS and doesn't disabled aftewards
For me it was the Google Backups. That has always decimated my batteries lol.

I would think it would. Do you have screenshots of your battery screen you can share?
Settings > Backup and reset > Back up my data.
You should be able to check data usage by WiFi as well. If anything, I think you can restrict Google Play Services to not use cell data.
Settings > Data usage > (find the app) > Restrict background data (at bottom)
WiFi settings...
Settings > WiFi > More > Advanced

Deleted my screenshot but I'll save next one when it happens.
Btw i cant find any "restrict background data" option after selecting an app... why? I tried several apps and never show. I think i had this option on my s6 but i dont remember well.
PS:
WiFi settings...
Settings > WiFi > More > Advanced
I also dont have "advanced" under more... wtf? Do i have some menus hidden or what?

No carrier at all... unbranded. Any idea?
Under data usage I have a menu called "Background data" where I can prevent individual apps from using mobile data when not running in the foreground and not in wifi... problem is that i dont have "google play services" there... i just have a general "google".
And still cant find advanced menu under wifi setting... i checked on google and a lot of people dont seem to have this option anymore even on s6... Im confused tho, some people with s7 have it and some dont??

It is confusing, not sure why it's like that. One would think they'd all be the same.
Maybe someone else here is in the same situation. Not that it matters, but then again might as well ask lol. Are you using a GSM or CDMA phone?

WiFi settings...
Settings > WiFi > More > then hit on blue "scanning settings"
That first pic I don't have the paragraph at the bottom.
The second, for me scanning settings are under Settings > Location > Improve Accuracy.
So there seems to be differences.

I'm in the same boat. A few days ago, all of a sudden, Google Play Services started to eating up my data like crazy. In less than a week it's eaten up over 1GB in the background, and now the "restrict background data" option is gone. Things like these made me want to dump my S7 and switch to a Nexus......
I have a bone to pick as well with Google Play Services, but it's regarding non-stop location requests. I've been searching high and low for similar issue but don't seem to find any.
Just t be clear:
1. I don't use Google Now
2. I have disabled Now Cards
3. I have disabled Location History
4. I have performed factory reset
5. It's not rooted
6. I want to keep Location Service switched on
Under Location, Google Play Services location would always indicate "Battery usage: low" and occasionally shows "Battery usage: high". I use GSam, and it barely register any GPS activity, and I think any GPS activity that is logged would be the ones that was "Battery usage: high".
I also use Greenify to take advantage of aggressive doze but doesn't help with the location issue.
I use Package Disabler and have disabled most bloatware and Google's apps I don't use.
I just want to see of anyone has noticed this on their S7. It's a European variant.
mines having this issue too. it'd wake time is 11 hours today outta the 13 hours off charger. it's been crap the past month. it was OK for 2 days and nowhere near the top, but now it's crap again. getting annoyed with this damn phone.

There was an update of google play services a few days ago to version 9.2.56. Since then I experienced a huge battery drain. I found out that my s7 doesn't go to deep sleep when I switch Bluetooth on and afterwards off. Reverting to an older version of google play services solve this issue for me.

I was having this problem, 65% battery usage with Google Play Service, I set up Google as below and it seems to have worked.
In Settings > Accounts
Tap Google and Turn off all the items you do not need or want to Sync
Also
In Settings > Google under the Services heading
Nearby - Set to Off
Google Photos Backup - Set to Off
Location On but Locating Method - Set to GPS Only
Ads - Op Out turned On
Search & Now > Now Cards - Set to Off, also Now on Tap - Set to Off
Exit out to the Home Screen and reboot your Phone, in the last 21.5 hours no Google Play Service draining the battery.
Failing that working you could try Settings > Applications > Application Manager > Google Play Service tap More and Uninstall Updates as suggested by @DSC05 and reboot your phone
What is the firmware version you are on?
I have a 930F with APE2 firmware and play services is the last on the list with 5% drain. Still, I have a smartwatch (LG Urbane) connected with bluetooth on all the time.
I've submitted this issue since July but the problem exists for me since the very first Developer Preview. Basically my Pixel behaves normally when connecting to both WiFi and mobile data. But sometime during the day the phone "loses" mobile data and a Mobile data has run out message appears, even though I have a prepaid line with enough quota still available. I had the issue in DP1, DP3 and final Oreo version (skipped DP2 and DP4) and nothing goes on with the submitted issue. So I've avoided updating because obviously I need my mobile data at all times.
There is some people commenting on the issue but I don't feel like Google is taking this seriously.
Google is working on a fix.

I have the same issue too.But few days ago,I disabled the system app "carrierdefaultapp" by a third-party app (my pixel was rooted) and the issue disappeared.

ice box or you can delete the carrierdefaultapp(/system/app/CarrierDefaultApp) by RootExplorer

yep, can confirm this works. It's been like 5 days and I have not encountered the issue any more. I don't know how I didn't think about that. Thanks!
Wouldn't going into Developer options under Networking and disabling "Mobile Data always active" accomplish the same thing? I thought the bug responsible for this is that Oreo enables this by default.

doesn't seem to be related at least in my case, just removed the CarrierDefaultApp and that was it. BTW I checked and the toggle is off but I don't remember if it was toggled on before.

By removing CarrierDefaultApp are you removing all mobile data capability?
No, I can toggle data on and off as usual. That just removes the new data-management functionality which appears to be broken for some of us.
