Few days ago, around the 15th of october I started having every few seconds crashes of the google play services.
The error is java.lang.illegalArgumentException wakelock not active.
The frequency of the error makes the phone unusuable.
Initially I though the problem was because I was on older stock release (KTU84Q). Due to a problem I had with my car bluetooth with newer versions I choosed to keep 4.4.4 stock.
So I let the phone make all the incremental updates (OTA) up to the last one (5.1.1 LMY48B).
Unfortunatelly the problem with play services did not go away. So I did a full wipe and went through the initial install procedure. A few minutes latter, still while setting up the phone the crash came back. Except the ROM apps at this point there are no other apps installed. I notice the crashes happened when play services was updated right after I set up my google account.
The play services version that crashes is 8.2.99. I downgraded to 8.2.98 and I still have the crashes. So I went down to 8.1.15 and no more crashes.
The problem is that after a while the phone updates to 8.2.99.
So the questions are:
Is it only me that has this problem?
How do I fix this?
In any case how do I prevent the update of the playservices?
After little search I found the solution.
I had to enable privacy guard and then enable KEEP AWAKE of Google Play Services.
Since one week I am not able to play Google Play Music anymore through Android Auto. It says service isn't available at the moment. All other functions work. Has anybody the same issue? I have a 2017 Jetta and a Galaxy S8+ with latest T-Mobile updates.
Thanks
This is a related issue.
Here is a link http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/06/12/not-just-google-play-music-isnt-behaving-android-auto/
Mine was doing this last week too, started playing music on my phone before connecting it to the car and it has been fine since.
Not sure what is causing it though, it doesnt look like either of those apps updated recently to make it happen
Somestimes , the music can not be installed from Google ,but already indicate that can be downloaded
Guys,
My phone started to behave abnormally after updating to may 10th google play services. I constantly lose wifi and my phone gets frozen. I gotta retart it in every hour.
Also whenever i send a location it says "google services are updating" i uninstalled services and it updated itself then problems started again.
When the phone get frozen the heat increases like crazy and the battery depletes itself enermously if i dont restart it.
When i lose wifi i cannot see any other wifi networks in the settings. I lose them all and it appears as if there are no wifi networks.
I also wonder if this could be a battery issue? I will reset to factory settings tonight if noone has an answer to this.
Thanks. I am on aura 2.2 rom the latest version
I am also having an issue with google play services. I am using sport tracking apps and they all show google play services updating.
Do you also get random crashes and freezes? I checked many forums, it is very common among huawei users right now. It has affected many phones and you can find many complaints about it. But google provided no support right now.
I also read that factory resetting is not solving the issue. So i am not gonna waste time on that and wait for a new update.
But i can tell for the first time i regret using a huawei phone. Deeply loving it made me cover its faulty updates but i got tired of restarting the phone hourly
I had the exact same issues you described. Google Street View, Uber, and other apps would display 'google services are updating' and not work at all.
Fixed it by leaving the Google Play Services beta testing channel. I'm now running version 12.6.73 (040400) and all's back to normal.
On the other hand my P20 is still on the beta channel 12.6.73 (040408) and no issues.
There's an ongoing thread about an issue which seems what you're talking and is specific to Huawei phones. My problem related to this, is that I can't logon on Chrome... More details in the link below

Hi, on my Mate 9 in my Car with Android Auto, the Google Assistent dont run, and says everytime when i activate it: "There is no stable Internet Connection"
I hope google or Huawai will it correct it
Hello,
Same problems with my Mate 9 MHA-L09
It was said that this bug is reported by many people in Google issue tracker. Lots of Google Maps apps such as Uber and Taxify don't work well. It looks like wide range of Huawei devices is severely impacted by latest Play Services update to version 12.6.73. A good news is Google is working on it.
Two temporary solution for an end-user to try:
1. Clear cache & data of Google Play services
2. Go to Setting - App - Google Play Services, disable it to go back factory version.
Restart the phone and go to Google Play Store to do the update on Google Play Services.
Wonder if this is the same "bug" I've been having trouble with. Sometimes, & I can't nail down how it happens, if I wake up the phone, and it could have been screen off for 5 minutes, all night, 20-30 minutes...no pattern, that after waking it up, tap on anything and it might be 10-20 seconds before it does anything. EVERY app is like that. I thought it might have been with Nova launcher, but that doesn't seem to be it, rebooting the phone appears to "fix it". Just dumped cache on play, stopped, uninstalled, rebooted (play store isn't showing any updates, still at 11.xx). I'll just watch it and see how it act.
By me its help Temporary, Everythings run until the next restart of my phone and my smartwatch must reset to
So far, almost 24 hours later, dumping the storage, stopping, "uninstalling" the play services, and going back to the stock one (11.xx) seems to have cured my "lag". Everything is snappy again.
Can someone confirm that with this issue ongoing you can open events in the Calendar app? If possible from an Exchange account...
Currently I open Calendar, select an event, it opens and immediately closes. So Calendar now is also unusable for me What's going on?
Thanks!

Exact same problem. When did it start?
I am solving the issue by hard resetting, uninstalling play services and when i update sometime later my phone starts losing wifi and battery is getting drained incredibly fast. Something gotta be related wtih the play services but no solution yet

Yes it has been fixed (sic!) with version 12.6.85 from version 12.6.73. The big errors have been fixed on software such as Uber and Map programmes. Still awaiting to see if the hardware problems are sorted, (my phone would be hot to the touch to the extent that glue on the phone cover would soften and become pliable).
To summarise.... So far so good.
I can confirm, I have upgraded to 12.6.85 earlier today and so far so good.
Clear now
So far, almost a week into the update, no issues on my end with the phone lagging.

I too have noticed this issue. I thought it was my phone playing up.... am about to send it back to Sony for repair.
After Factory reset everything is back to normal, also with latest Google Play Services.
I use px3 unite. This is 2gb ram. Mcu 3.45. Setting menu very slowly open. 15 second waiting. I use hal9k room. Can help me pls
I solved the problem. I deleted the cache and all other data of the Google app and playstore app. I removed updates for the Google app. the device got pretty fast. do not google update.
