Anyone else noticed at how slow apps update on this phone? Yesterday for example, I started updating 12 apps on my S10e. Over a minute later, I did the same on my iPhone 7 (12 apps) which has a badly degraded battery. The iPhone still managed to complete before the S10e!
I didn't have battery saver enabled on either phone and have a FTTC connection with excellent WiFi coverage in my house which is where I tried this from.
Any solutions?
How many apps were running in the background when you started the apps updates from the Google Play store? Were any of those running the same apps you were trying to update?
For me, 4G/LTE is faster than my WiFi.
Are iOS apps generally smaller than their equivalent Android apps?

I recently came back from a two-month trip and started using my ATT sim card again. My Infuse is basically the same as when I left - Infused 2.23, no major changes.
All of a sudden my data usage has gone from an average of a couple of megabytes (at the most) a day to over ten. I only have a 200mb plan, so this is a problem.
I installed traffic monitor; unfortunately most of the data used falls under the heading of "System Traffic," which cannot be researched further. New build of Maps? Some rogue system program? I can't figure out how to find out what it is, and a google search wasn't particularly helpful.
Something is different, and I don't know what it is.
Anyone facing a similar situation or have any clues?
Start uninstalling apps and watch your usage to see which is the culprit.

Thanks. That's a good idea, but it's all system apps, not apps I've installed. None of them are causing any trouble. I'm not even sure which are all the system apps...
Some apps I noted:
1. Quick Office Pro uses like about 20k on phone start up; not sure if it does it every time. There could be a few more apps that do this.
2. Google voice syncs itself
3. Push emails send info to server saying the link can be used
4. Maps new build could be a possible culprit (I keep mine frozen all the time now, and defreeze it only when needed)
I noticed this even on my wife's iPhone sometimes when she gets 65% usage sms (she has a 200 MB plan), and she's always on WiFi at home, and sometimes the data usage on AT&T site shows up to 20-30 MB per session. No way to track it. I tried taking it up with them, but that won't help since AT&T too does not track which app or what data it is.
Hi, recently I have observed almost 3GB of Google Play Services usage.
I am reading in many threads that this issue is caused by OTA updates constantly downloading. The only solution reported is to download some application to disable it. However, apparently this causes a wake lock? Also, this is reported in version 4.3. I am on Cataclysm ROM on 4.4, so not sure if the solution would be applicable in this case.
Any help is appreciated.
Thx!
If you're running a custom ROM, it wouldn't be OTA downloading. If you have high accuracy on for your location settings, something might be trying to access GPS and syncing data.

I had enormous data usage with google play store and android services while i was stock, i tried to find the culprit but i couldn't so im at a custom rom until we get an update. I don't have a problem on my custom rom right now (liquidsmooth) they still don't pull back tho, always at the top of my data usage list, google needs to look into that.
So for Google Play Services I have made it only to download in the background, so connected to WIFI.
I believe that this has disabled Push notifications, as Facebook Messenger no longer alerts me to a message.
Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Thx!
I've looked around a bunch and it seems like a lot of people are having a problem with terrible battery drain after the last two android updates. I'm on Verizon, unrooted, stock GS3. Ever since the update to 4.4 I've been hit with Google Services or Google Play Services running non-stop. My phone battery will discharge from 100% to critical in less the 4 hours without any use. The usual tricks of killing the process, restarting the phone and factory resetting have not worked. This has gotten ridiculous. Has anyone come up with any way to fix the sticking processes? Any kind of update at all? I'm extremely frustrated. I've had this phone for 2 years with no battery drain problems. Then I took the first 4.4 update and I started getting problems. Now with the newest update its much worse. Nothing will stop Google Services from running constantly. I can't wait to get an upgrade at this point.

From what I've read on not just here, but for other phones...the usual culprit is location services via google now. The best way to test this is to turn off google now (which will just give you the standard pre jb google search) and see if that calms things down. If you want google now...try turning off location reporting in google''s location settings. Additionally, turn off syncing to things under the google account that you don't necessary need to sync constantly.

I kept reading more forum posts yesterday, and I am fairly confident that I found the correct answer for my phone. I've never had a problem before with the location services draining my battery. The culprit is the "OK Google" voice detection constantly listening. Ever since I turned that off, my battery usage has returned to normal. Immediately I noticed a difference in the phone's performance and the battery percentage didn't drain while I was watching it. This makes sense too with the timing of the update and my battery drain. KitKat brought this feature to the GS3 and that is precisely when my battery started to be sucked dry. Whereas before, Google services was listed as 40-60% of my battery usage, it's now down to 15%. The good thing with turning this off is I never used the feature, unlike location services that are baked into everything and actually useful to me. Thanks for the help.
Hi guys, I just done resetting my OPO to everything stock 44S, but when I tried downloading and install back my apps, it was ridiculously slow while downloading the apps. I checked my net is performing perfectly at 20Mbps, but Playstore download apps at 50-100Kbps I was like WTF??? I tried change DNS doesn't work either, but on mobile data is super fast, just like normal just WiFi. I tried my second phone WiFi also slow like hell but watch youtube etc is smooth. Is it possible Google side problem or my ISP problem?
If everything else works fine I would guess it's a Google problem. Or the routing to your place isn't that good? Are you using a VPN?

I was thinking the same thing. I got my OPO last Friday and I've been flashing roms all weekend. I also noticed that the Play Store download speed was ridiculously slow on wifi and LTE. I have AT&T and I also flashed Ark kernel. After about 2-3 hours, no matter what rom I was on, the Play Store apps sped up. I thought my issue had something to do with me going from 11S to 11 to 12 all weekend. (I had to find what worked for me) But it seems that irrespective of the kernel, cm version, and gapps I was using, the dl speed just popped back in gear after time.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance but my only solution was time. How long have you let your phone idle?

I think idle time doesn't matter, okay.... I tried with my friend's phone, it's also same, very very slow download speed, so must be Google side...
Like what others have said. If you had another device and play store downloads was also slow. Your home isp probably bad poor routing to the servers causing it to lag.
Some other tips. Disable wifi optimization if you haven't. Toggle wifi on and off and then try a download again. Restart your modem and router.

You can test the speed with a normal dl from a fast Server, bunt i think it was a Google Problem

I just did some updates to my apps
Some apps download at 1.5MB/s others at 300KB/s lol it's a Google issue I'm concluding

Hi folks,
I scoured through all the battery related discussions and wasn't able to find an issue similar to mine, so I hope it's okay to post a new thread on this topic. I have an AT&T (Snapdragon) Galaxy S7 with stock software and about a month and a half ago I started experiencing horrible battery life. I have been desperately trying to figure out what the issue is. At first I thought it was AT&T WiFi calling because it was forcing my WiFi and data connections to toggle back and forth and disabling that did help. However my battery life was still poor and I could never get more than about 10.5 hours of moderate use (see pictures below). Also the phone gets hot randomly (Above 95 Fahrenheit) even when doing minor tasks like browsing through Chrome. Since then I have made the following changes with no noticeable improvement:
Disabled advanced LTE services
Disabled Always on Display
Disabled WiFi and Bluetooth location scanning
Disabled nearby device scanning
Wiped cache multiple times
Temporarily disabled Bluetooth and WiFi to monitor the difference
Used Greenify Aggressive Dose
Disabled all diagnostic reporting
Uninstalled Oculus when that battery issue came up
Side note: I disabled a bunch of bloatware right when I got the phone, not through Package Disabler but through the standard Android disable method
I kept digging and found that my phone doesn't enter dose unless I use Greenify, and even then I don't notice a difference. I then decided to do a hard reset but no luck. Afterwards I used Safe Mode to see if any 3rd party apps were misbehaving, but again the drain was consistent both while idle and while using the phone. Today I installed Wakelock Detector Lite and found that PowerManagerService is keeping my phone from dosing, but from what I've read online it seems that info doesn't really point to a specific app, and it's hard to identify unless I root the phone which I don't want to do.
I am going crazy trying to figure out if this is a software/settings issue or if I should just replace the phone through AT&T and risk getting a defective refurb. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many people have similar problems. One reason was the buggy oculus app (you might wanna disable that when it came pre installed, depending on your CSC).
However the main reason behind the high "android-system" usage is still unclear. Some people experience it, some dont. Some people have better battery results with the firmware from March.
Personally, I believe that it is firmware related. I tried the N7 rom port and did not have a problem at all.
You might wanna wait for the October update that will hit soon and see if this fixes anything.
I notice you have 'media server' showing in your battery stats. My wife had that showing too and also had terrible battery life. Her fix was disabling the auto streaming in her Facebook app which plays videos while you scroll through posts. Now she has great battery life!
I have the Facebook app disabled on my phone altogether. I've also used safe mode where 3rd party apps are disabled but the battery still drains at around 5% an hour while idle.
WiFi calling was draining one members battery, disabled that and everything returned to normal

I had that issue too but have since disabled WiFi calling
most likely a software issue. my version is G930FXXU1APEQ and i'm been getting 11 hour on batty with around 6- 7 hour of screen on.
Try disabling Google backup. It's a huge battery drainer

Nothing has helped so far so I decided to uninstall my apps in batches until battery life improves. I'll then slowly reinstall them one by one until I find the culprit. I'll report back with my findings. Thanks for all the suggestions.
