Yesterday I have installed a new version of Google Play Sevices taken from APK Mirror, but I believe it is causing battery drain.
I would like to go back to the stock version I had on CM11s 05Q but if I go into Apps it won't allow me to uninstall upgrades.
Is there a way to go back?
thanks

Just download older version and install it, then untick automatic updates for it in Google play.
Personally I'm on 6.5.99 and i have no problems with battery drain.

Only problem with that is that many Google apps won't even open until it's updated again
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

Thanks for letting us know! Just upgraded manually to 9.2.56, till now everything seems fine. I wish there is a method which can block Play Services from auto updating.

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.
Post-Oreo update, I can no longer use the Google Play Store's search bar. The app immediately crashes.
Anyone else have this issue? I've tried clearing the cache and data, but it doesn't help.
Uninstal playstore update
Same issue
After oreo update, play store crashes when clicking or searching on an app in the store.
I tried clearing cache of play store and play services and re-installing the latest play store apk. no luck.
Any Ideas?
Similar situation here on nougat. One of my m9's has playstore problems and the other one doesn't. One is a daily and one is fresh. Fresh one works great. Must be an app or something causing it as nothing short of factory restore has fixed it..

You could check if it is an App, by rebooting into safe mode.
Press power button, then long press power down. As soon, as the save mode pop-up shows up press OK. The device will reboot to safe mode and thus deactivated all installed Apps but system apps to make sure nothing can interfere with core functionalities. If all works there, you have to determine which are the recently installed Apps and uninstall them one by one to check which one it is.

Had same issue post Oreo update. Uninstalled updates on the play store, after updates re-installed worked just fine
I have just had the same problem with the EMEA Oreo update. I tried rebooting, clearing cache and data of both Play Store and Google Play Services and nothing worked. I uninstalled updates of both Play Store and Google Play Services and it became even worse: I couldn't even start the play store (nothing would apparently happen when clicking the icon) and sometimes force close messages from the play store would appear even while it wasn't running in the foreground. What eventually seems to have fixed it was downloading and installing the latest Play Store APK from APKMirror. Maybe an automatic Play Store update would have also done the trick, but I am not sure that the auto-update itself would have worked in that state.
guys uncheck & disable PlayStore and PlayService app in boost+ battery optimizion....your problem fixed
boost+ change resulation lower of app in battery optimizion mode and new version of play store have problem with this mode
if problem in downloads disable : Download and downloadmanager app in boost+
OMG!
This seems to be the fix! Thank you so much, it's been driving me crazy for weeks!
i uninstalled almost all my apps trying to figure out which one was the culprit!
I cant see PlayService in boost+ but turning it off for Playstore now lets me browse the store!
THANK YOU!

I've been having this problem since Oreo landed on my moto g6 phone. I'm not finding boost+ on my phone. The closest thing I can find is a special apps access->battery optimization that has a list of apps to set battery optimization. Google Services is precluded from optimization and I can set play store yes/no for optimization. Setting this off and rebooting has had no effect on Google Play Store's crashing.
After 5.1.9 update and rooting I notice force closing of some apps like:
1. Facebook when I click external link
2. LinkedIn on boot
3. Wish when opening my purchase
4. Chrome Dev randomly
5. Amazon
6. Gmail
...
Anyone? Any solution?
Tried uninstalling with no luck...
Many apps are almost unusable...
Ok...it was an issue related to an update on play store: Android system webview
And how did you solve it? I have the problem too
Go to the play store, check for updates, update Android System Webview. Done.
Hi,
My downloads are stuck at 99/100% every time I try to download of update an app. The only solution seems to be to disable the Google app and reboot, following which they seem to work.
However I lose the Google feed and weather and my at a glance widget doing so. I tried googling but haven't found a concrete solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
This is a random problem with the latest play Services. Last week the update reverted and it looks like they reverted it again. Revert play store and play store Services to stock (delete the updates) and just update all your other apps again.
Thanks for the tip. I tried doing this but it's still the same now just at a random percentage between 80-90% instead of the 100% bug. Nothing seems to fix it with only the Google app being disabled helping.
