Hi AndroidAgony. Sorry that it didn't work. I'm not sure if you also turned off the phone and then turned it on, while all data connectivity is off (I used Airplane mode for that), I believe that does the trick. At least on mine, I only noticed it after I turned phone off. Remember to...

Thanks for the tips, Droid Geek. But, at first, it is important to notice that I had all those apps before this problem has started. I understand they consume RAM, but never to reach a level to exhaust my battery in 4 hours. Thus, I understand they are not the cause of the battery draining too...

Take a look at this discussion here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/693729-battery-draining-fast-started-6-23-2016-a.html I managed to downgrade to an older version of Google Play Services and can use most of the features (Internet, Gmail, Whatsapp...) if you install this older...

Thanks for the update, jsigmo. This really seems the issue. From what I have been seeing in other forums as well, the 9.2.56 version is the one to blame for battery consumption. Many users said that after removing it, battery problem stops, as well as some other issues that follow it (like...

Me again... As I imagined. When I tried to update my Whatsapp, I had to turn out background data. Ok,did that and went straight to Google Play Store to update my Whatsapp version. Then, what happens? It shows "download is pending"... Stayed like that for some minutes, and then by curiosity I...

Well, I think I found something. I was browsing some Google Play forums, found one in Spanish where I found some people with a temporary solution. So far it works. To try to help the others, here is a list of the things I did: > First, I have deactivated all kind of sync features, like...

Thanks for the info jsigmo, glad now it is working. I will see about this Kies update. Honestly I have not used Kies here, because it used to be very computationally intensive in my old computer, and even after upgrading to a new one I never thought about using it. I do manual backup of the...

Interesting finding, jsigmo. Would be nice to check which is the version of Google Play Services running in your wife's phone. What really bugs me is that I'm here with an older Android version (Gingerbread). Would be really surprising if her phone, with a newer system, has been using an older...

Just a funny thing I observed now. Starting today I noticed at the battery screen that the Android System is using a lot too. It used to stay with very low usage (close to 2%), but now it is like it is sharing the usage with Google Play Services. Not sure if it means something...

I tried the airplane mode too. Observed the same issue... Recently got some of those crashes too. :- I don't know, isn't there any way w can contact Google about it? I'm noticing more and more people facing this too, recently talked to my mother and she said her phone is also draining battery...

Other one suffering from the same issue here... Here, I don't have this Verizon cloud (i'm in Brazil), but this gave me an idea to try to check some of my phone and data service provider. I was about to make a factory reset, but seeing that the original poster already did that and has no use, I...

I'm experiencing the same problem... Have even created a topic here. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, and no matter what I do Google Play Services is taking close to 85% of battery. I noticed also that checking the battery details, phone is almost all the time awake. I believe there is no...

I see, ZacZab. I never tried to fully uninstall it, only made a reinstall of Google Play Services. But it keeps creating those files. Seems like it is impossible to remove it. What I'm trying now is to make phone almost without any kind of sync. I only had the background sync, which I...

Thanks for the tip, Old Stoneface. But I couldn't do that... I have two accounts on my phone, my personal one and the work one. First, I removed the work account, with no problems. But then, as I tried to remove my personal account, it says it is used for some applications and can only be...

Sure, I was trying to post it yesterday, but my connection was too slow at home. Those images were obtained yesterday, before going to sleep. Right now I'm using that EnergySaver feature (the green battery icon at top). Made a full charge in the morning before work, right after lunch now...
