today it started again!
after i had a perfect battery week, i noticed strange 2% oddly vanishing from the battery,
i quickly checked Wakelock and found the damn Google play services is at it again :mad:
a quick cache clearance and a regular (not quick) boot make it behave, but it happened TWICE today.
can someone explain this phenomenon?
once in a few months is a legitimate time to get a bit buggy, but every other week??
i bet that's the problem with all the "horrendous battery" threads.
and i gotta be honest, this is a problem i DO NOT want to worry about too much.
wtf are Google doing, making me worried and uneasy by letting those services get outta hand?
i'm getting agitated when i know those things can happen without any control.
i hope maybe someone here could shed a bit more light (from more information perhaps, other forums?)
on how to make this problem disappear for good?

thanks!

you have too much time on your hands.

find a hobby or a partner or something.


do people seriously consistently monitor their phone's battery consumption down to every single %?

thanks for the support :P
if you really payed attention to other threads i participated, you'll know this was a big big problem a week or so ago,
that drained most of the battery in a few hours.
after that, i am logically a bit on my guard regarding this.
your typical "chillax" reply is more horrendeous than every "horrendeous battery" thread i read here.
what a downer you are, really. and i thought i liked this forum. what a disgusting D-bag.

it was a "big problem" because you spotted an article in Android Police whereby it explained that google services was a hog on *that day*. you said yourself you have a "great battery life".

as for the "horrendous battery life" thread you mention lol just go back to that thread. its a whine fest about his phone shutting down out of the blue, the phone not even starting up, being unable to receive phone calls, and the OP stating he'll go back to blackberry or his former iphone 4S and what not... lol.


bottom line is you can't get rid of google play services. it is what it is. monitoring its usage every second and resorting to clearing caches and starting your phone up periodically just to tame that app is a waste of your time.
 
ok, it was on that day, but i t was also starting today.
just hate to need to worry about stuff like that.
 
The specific Google service is the : nlpcollector wakelock.
I find out it suddenly works for a few hours for some reason,
And I have to.stop it each time by restarting the phone.
Again today. Any tips on making it leave me alone?
