Root Play services

[Swainsmith82]

I've been doing a lot of reading about Google play services and services framework and them causing overheating and battery drain.. Because google controls location and everything else on android any google app used has risk of being affected by this... Chrome earth, playstore, maps, youtube, etc.. I tried this the other day and after some careful consideration I feel there could be something to be said here. If your gps is waking or something if your media is constantly running this COULD be why.

By no means is this a fix unless people report back saying it works.. On cm10 go to setting-apps-googleplay services-clear data.. Then to Google services framework and clear data as well and reboot.. When the device turns back on agree to location access then open Google settings and check location reporting and location history.. Open up greenify and all your nonsystem gapps that require location should either be pending or active.. Hibernate all gapps except chrome and exit out and reboot. Again go to greenify and make sure they're staying Hibernated if not, hibernate again and then go to phone settings and clear data on them if they are hibernated you're good.. I've done this method everytime I've had to restore data and I have absolutely no issues.. If I open gps I just simply reboot when i get a chance. No need ti go into airplane mode for 15mins rebooting kills the process as long as gps is turned off.


Let me know if this does anything to help.. Again this is not currently a solution but rather an idea that needs testing..

After all the issues I've been having, I think this might be the answer. After flashing my latest port, I purposely did not install G apps. My last few flash attempts had resulted in Google backup transport causing a massive amount of wakes as well as a media server. Disabling the media server did no good, clearing data on Google Apps did no good, but now even though I have Play services installed and haven't attempted what you are recommending in the OP, my temperature has been warm at most, and better battery stats only shows the theme chooser as using the majority of my battery which is strange because I have the have the standard theme applied. Over the past weekend come to the conclusion that Google was giving me the problem, I just could not find out which app it was. I think what I'll do now, is to try what you recommend in the OP, then individually install the Google apps from the market one by one and slowly, to try to find out where the problem lies for me. Maybe it will be able to help others with the same issue.

.. No need to install each app one by one.. You need to flash gapps while flashing your rom.. Use the method I explained in your pm also greenify any Google app you can.. I promise you my phone hasn't even become warm. If you use gps and it starts to warm up simply reboot.

I had tried that and didnt get the same results as you.

Lol at this point now, everything will get data BUT play store
