New Google Play Service rolling out

Cookie Ninja said:

I've been able to safely disable/uninstall GMS core / Google play services apk on 101 firmware (JB 4.3). I've noticed that the app becomes essential for logging into Google play store on KitKat 4.2+. This app is the primary reason for wake locks, battery drain and general poor performance in all KitKat versions. Can anyone suggest a method in KitKat wherein Google play store can be made too work without this app? My Google account login is only for accessing play store & downloading free apps, no gmail, music, talk, hangouts, G+, games, magazines, movies, contacts sync, calendar sync, settings & app sync newsstand, nothing else other than a login for using the play store.

If you facing the problem with battery drain try this


Finally I found a solution and I don't have more SystemUpdateService wakelocks. Seem to be caused by the last version of Google play service trying to connect to the OTA service to update the rom

"Finally I was able to block the SystemUpdateService wakelock, using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...com.rs.autorun
go to settings, enable the option to show system entries
find google play services and disable:
SystemUpdateService$Receiver
SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
done... no more wakelock and it didn't break anything, syncs all work ok

You may try disable service from play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

Application allready show which services running. You can disable whatever you want.

I've disabled location services of google play services. Still all applications work properly. Maps etc.

Ps. Also can disable silly push services of user app, that force them to run alltime.
