Google Services, battery usage and other areas of confusion Aug 18th 2013, 19:44, by Jerry Hildenbrand Google Services uses more battery as it encompasses more things, but that doesn't help with the confusion factor Jonathan wrote in with a concern: Battery drain since 4.3 and/or new PlayStore Am I the only one to have this problem? I have the same situation on both Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10. Play Services takes a great chunk out of the battery. Thank you. It's not just you, Jonathan. Seems like everyone running the combination of Android 4.3 with the new Google Play services (which, really, everyone should have by now) is seeing the Google Services entry in their battery list with bigger numbers than we're used to seeing. This makes sense —, it's doing more than ever.  The good news is that for most people it's not really keeping the CPU awake very often. That's what abnormally kills your battery. After some investigation and discussion, we think that the Google Services now encompasses more "stuff" so it uses more battery, and some change in the way it gets reported are the cause of what you, and everyone else is seeing. But that's not the root issue.  Google needs to change the look of the Battery information screen in the settings, because what the numbers show us isn't the whole story. Follow along.
