Google Play Service Issue

[NirmalSitaldin9]

Hi guys, I bought my z2 2 days ago and the battery was fine until it started draining faster than normal with the same usage. I checked my power information and I saw the google play services was consuming more power (45%) than my screen 19% that was an overnight situation. I tried uninstalling the updates, didn't work. Turned off location, also didn't work. Rebooted, didn't work.

What should I do? Just wait for another update? Or is this just a temporarly issue...?

Ok I'll also try that, but is this google play service issue temporarliy? Or does my phone have a problem?

there are probably a lot of updates pending. 

[NirmalSitaldin9]

Well that's true I do get a lot of updates almost everyday and most of 'em are google's apps, like gmail maps etc and xperia apps like xperia lounge.. So from now on I shouldn't update all of these apps or gradually? Sorry I just have a lot of questions

Its better if you don't auto update, I used to but there are quite a bit of updates, I update them manually every few days

Hmmm ok thank you for your help And the battery usage of the play services has been dropping slowly.. Last night it was 45% and now it's 35%.. So might also be temporal eh? Cause some sites on google say that.. Some sort of Battery Drain Syndrome

Its probably all this apps that are trying to change their icons and few other bug issues for lollipop

[NirmalSitaldin9]

Hmmmm ok ok.. I run on 4.4.2, haven't updated to 4.4.4 due to all the mixed reviews it got and it looks like 90% om 'em is negative, so I'll first check reviews of what lollipop has in stock for us b4 I update it.. But I'm just glad that sth isn't wrong in the phone itself but it's those updates and google and all. I also turned off location settings. Hope the faster draining will take off... Thank you for your help!
