How to create log of google play services being called

[Android Central Question]

Sometimes my battery usage gives me a very high percentage (e.g. 45%) for Google Play Services. Is there a way to log the name of the app that is causing this problem. Please note that I am not looking for a way to clear the play services heavy usage - I just want to know which app may be causing the problem. Thank you.

Which phone?

I would try force stop Google play store and monitor next charge cycle and go from there .

As an end user, creating logs is not possible. That is the domain of the programmers.

I have had this happen on both my LG G4 and LG V30.
I get the impression it is a communication problem with the Google servers as the communication seems to be lots of setup info but not much real data.
Don't know how to prevent it, but to stop it I just turn on airplane mode for 30 seconds to break the communication.
Clearing the Google Services cache seems to have no effect.

Long pressing the power button should give you a 3 dot menu - Bug Report should be there. If I recall correctly, that gets the report. You have to enable it in Developer options. But that's a debug phone of all debuggable apps, not just Google Play Services. Then you'd have to go through the report, line by line, and translate it into something you understand. (You'd have to do that - there's no app to do it.)

Short answer - no, there's no way that you can do it. A good software developer might be able to.
