Hello everyone, I'm new. Forgive my English.
This morning I'm going to turn on the phone and Moto 360, and noted that the notification is vanished from the drop-down menu that shows me they are connected or not to the Moto 360. To find out, now I'm forced to open Android Wear.
Moto 360 firm: 5.0.2
Android Wear: last in playstore
Moto Connect: same android wear
Note 4 N910U firm.....4.4.4 -.-
Anyone can help me please? Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem since today morning. I use Sony Z3 running lollipop.
----
Update: it looks like this is by design by latest Google play services update to version 7.3.
What your seeing is the new results of Google Play services being updated to 7.3.29 I believe. With this new update, if your Android Wear Connected Devices are connected and working fine, the notification auto hides itself. It is though suppose to pop back up when there is a problem between sync and devices but I have not seen it do that.
With the older Google Play Services such as 7.0.99 the notification was always there with no way of hiding it or turning it off.
The new Google Play Services was suppose to prepare phones to be able to work with the new features coming to Android Wear and firmware updates to the moto 360 and other smart watches.
Also there was a bug in the older Google Play Services keeping it always on and a connection always running due to it trying itself to look for OTA's through Google Servers I assume for GPE editions of phones and watches. I think now from watching over the new version on my Verizon Note 3 that it is now fixed and is the last thing always running in the battery rundown list. Before the update and with the older version it was the first in the list for draining battery on Lollipop!
Just as an update to my earlier post, the newer newest android wear is up live on the Google Play store. It has the sync to cloud option so that you can use WiFi mode on smart watch.
Only issue now is we still are waiting for new firmware to enable it on the Moto 360.
Thanks for the answers.
Wait for the new version then, as to me it is not yet appeared.
Thanks for the help!
Well, on my Z3 the notification does not appeared when watch was disconnected.
I just got my new unlocked Fire Phone about a week ago, and after a week of use, I love this phone but do have a couple of questions to help out my experience.
1)I find the need to use Google Play for a couple of apps... Tried downloading the google play store useing a video o a different post found, only to find that a "Google Play Services stooped" error rendered my phone useless. I uninstalled all the google apps and my phone worked fine, but still need gale play.. How can I fix this??
2) I currently have Fire OS 3.6.8 but read that there is a new Fire OS 4.6, but my phone wouldn't update it. What can I do to fix this??

I hate this phone right now because Google updated its play services to 7.8.3.
1. You probably installed Play services 4.4.x, but it then updated it automatically to 7.8.3. That has been breaking everything google on this pone.
2. check the general forum and you'll see them.
I can't wait until I get the LG G4.

Actually, update your phone first. I had the same issue with the google play store, so I completely removed it from the phone. After the most recent update to FireOS, everything works smashingly. Uninstall google play services, update your phone, then put everything google back. Bada bing, bada boom, all better.

Agreed. After updating to 4.x it's been great. Even the overlapping font on google maps is gone. I can change my keyboard easily.
But I'm still going to get the LG G4.
I've had an LG G4, model H815 at Android 5.1 for the past two months. So far extremely satisfied, but it's been acting up for the past few days - battery drains for over 20% while I sleep for ~7 hours, and apparently Android System (specifically the GPS) keeps it awake and drains over 60% of the battery.
I keep GPS on high accuracy and I use the smart settings the phone has, but up until a week ago or so it didn't do any harm and it only lost about 2-5% every night - Same goes (more or less) for my previous phone. LG's subsidiary in my country just pushed an update a few days ago, so it may be relevant, but I don't recall if it happened before it or not (sorry).
I'm attaching a few pictures to this post, if there's any app you want me to run and post its output just let me know.
Any idea why this is or how to solve it?
Here is mine:
Okay...? So any idea why it happens to me but doesn't to you? This is a troubleshooting thread.
Same here. GPS in Android System seems to be nearly always on (up to 8 hours GPS usage, while I left the phone idle, without any App started) - with a huge battery drain.
I also suspect the firmware update received recently, since I became aware of this issue only some days ago. Using the phone, the GPS icon comes up every 2 Minutes or so and stays on for about 20 Seconds. That's definitely something I never observed before.
I googled a lot and found some articles describing similar problems. However, no working solution was given.
Here is what I did with nearly no impact:
- motion sensor and compass calibration
- cache wipe
- termination of the google app process, since I thought this might be the culprit (even cleared data)
- switched off google location tracking and smart lock
- switched off Android Device Manager under Device Administrators
Then, I did something that looks promising:
- I de-installed the updates of Google Play services and re-installed the latest version from Play Store. It was the Version 7.8.99 (2134222-220).
This solved the problem at least temporarily. I had a whole day where the system behaved as it should. However, this morning the problem came back.
- I de-installed the update of Google Play services once again, but this time without updating to a newer Version. I currently run version 7.5.71 (1955121-448).
To my surprise, even after reboot, the system does not ask me to update, so I leave it now as it is.
And the problem - again - seems to be gone. However, I am not sure whether this - again - will only be temporarily...
I think a good starting point for problem analysis might be to compare the running Versions of Google Play Services. What do you think?
Thanks,
toshiuser
I'm currently running Google Play services v. 7.8.99 (2134222-440). While writing this I'm clearing its cache and data and uninstalling updates, brings it back to the same stock version you mentioned. I'll see if it helps and keep you updated. Thanks a lot!
I think this has to do with carrier iq.. Not 100% sure though, but maybe you guys should look into it. I know my android system usage was really high also. Then I removed carrier iq and it went way down.

I also run Google Play services v. 7.8.99 (2134222-440) and also noticed GPS is On ever now and then even @ home. I wanted the latest Google Play Services and I enabled this Google Play Services drain fix. So far have not seen the GPS turn On without reason. Hope this will solve my overnight 20 % battery drained.

I had the same issue you're having. If you're rooted, it's an easy fix. Download any app ops application from the play store, and go in and disable the location permission for Android System. Has no effect on the device knowing your location whatsoever, and fixes the wakelock/battery drain from Android System.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I cannot find a process called carrier iq on my phone (probably because my phone is an unbranded european retail version?).

Sorry, but I do not understand. Version 7.8.99 (2134222-440) has the problems (see post from idowolf). What did you enable as the "Google Play Services drain fix"?

This sounds promising, but I'm not planning to root my phone (at least as long as there are chances for other solutions).
One update from my side: Still running Google Play Services Stock version 7.5.71 (1955121-448) and everything still seems to be ok. No battery drain from GPS. However, I am still not convinced that this will last long...
Thanks,

No carrier iq here and I've had the same issue a while back.
Update: No Problems with Stock Version of Google Play Services. Everything worked flawlessly the past few days - no battery drain.
Now reinstalled the current Version 7.8.99 (2134222-440) from Play Store to see if problems come back. I will keep you updated...
Last Update:
Google play Services 7.8.99 (2134222-440) is definitely faulty, at least in my configuration. “GPS always on“ and the huge battery drain almost immediately came back after reinstalling it. I was only able to achieve SOT of 2 and a half hours while GPS was active for several hours (in idle mode!).
Switched back to 7.5.71 (1955121-448), which works great, and will stay there with double SOT.
I did not see many posts regarding problems with Google play Services 7.8.99 (2134222-440), so this is either a rare problem or this is the reason why we read the many complaints about LG G4's supposedly “poor“ battery...
Hope that Google is aware of this problem and fixes it soon...

Google play Store only offers me (440). How can I change to (448) in play store?

GmsCore (448)
This Night, I received Updates for Google Maps and Photos and a notification that these versions require an update of Google Play Services, perfect...
Therefore, I will give the Version (448) a try. Hopefully it does something better than the (440)...

Thanks for this. It brought my Android System under control and significantly improved my battery life...well, closer to where it was before I rooted!
No luck,
even with Version (448) the problem persists.
I examined the problem again:
When I disconnect the phone from the power supply in the morning, it usually works normally. During the course of the day, at some point (not predictable), the GPS icon shows up for 2 minutes, grays out, disappears and comes back after a short time. Being in this state, Android system drains the battery due to high GPS usage (even if no app is active and even if locked in idle mode).
Now the interesting part:
If I open Google maps being in the problem state, it just takes 1 or 2 seconds to obtain a GPS fix. If I close it right after the fix, the GPS icon is gone and the phone behaves normally - sometimes for several hours. When GPS icon comes again and stays, I simply repeat the process.
For me it seems, that location service in Google play services is faulty since it sometimes cannot obtain a GPS fix whereas the algorithm in Google maps does it instantly.

Very well described, I am seeing the exact same problem. I even upgraded to play services 448 like you.
Hi all, I have a weird issue with my Pixel 6 Pro.
It simply won't update any apps. I can install apps from the play store but successively no updates are shown. This issue began all of a sudden with apparently no reason.
I tried to clear all data, clear cache, uninstall updates, nothing helps.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do?
Thanks!
Are you rooted or unlocked?
Nope, 100% stock
Another weird issue is that Play services are still at 1st November update and occasionally, play store says it's waiting for WiFi when trying to download an app but WiFi is on and has internet connection. I have to restart the phone to fix this.
Normally putting the device into airplane mode and *clearing data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store would solve most Play Store issues
Other things to try:
- Check Play Store is certified (Play Store -> Settings - About
- Check Date And Time (Settings -> Date And Time) try toggling Set Time Automatically, Set Time Zone Automarically and Use Locale Default off and back on
- * Try resetting Network Settings (Settings -> System -> Reset Options -> Reset WiFi, Mobile And Bluetooth
* Disclaimer/Warning: Be aware doing this if you have a Watch 4/5 or other WearOS Watch as it will sever the Watch connection, leading to you having to reset the Watch and set it up from scratch. This is also a concern when clearing data for Google Play Services/Google Play Store.

Restart your device, as a temporary bug on the app can also cause this problem.
Thanks everyone for your replies. None of the listed solutions had an immediate effect but updating resumed on its own after a couple of days with no apparent reason (?).
