Google Play Music 5.0 always running after update, draining battery

[dbargel]

Hello. I disable Google Music in the control panel and now the drain is very low ;-)

It's not a problem any more. I really don't care that it's running in the background if it's not using any juice. If you don't uncheck sync, though, it will use up a lot of juice.

The update has made it a terrific app.

I have the same problem, don't know what to do.

My Solution:

I have Galaxy Note with Jelly Bean. After updating to Jelly Bean my battery started draining very fast.

This worked for Google Music and the Google programs I don't use (also Maps, which I do use).
1. Go into Google Play> select the program you want to remove from background > Settings > click Auto-update apps > select 'do not auto-update apps' if not already selected
2. Settings > application manager > select app > uninstall updates
3. Settings > application manager > select app > force stop

I'm not 100% sure what I did next, but I think I went:
Settings > application manager > running > show cashed processes at the top > select act > stop, then go to "All" at the top select the process and disable it if you want to.

I did not disable Google Play Music, and when I look in my Memory Booster Lite program it no longer shows as running. Again it still loads when I press the Icon, just much slower.

Same for Google maps. In the "travel" folder I created, I now see com.google.amdroid.maps rather than the Google Maps icon. When I click on it it still open, but does not load as fast.

Unfortunately I still have 40 programs running in the background, so have to work through them one by one.

Once the 4.3 comes out I think I will root my phone so that I can do this much faster.


Google Music no longer runs in the background nor does Maps. From #3 I could have selected disable, but did not. If I go into the "Music" folder I created, the icon is still therel
