Running in LeeDroid 7.4.2. Down 20% today and I've barely even used my phone (See attached). GPS is disabled too. Any ideas?
Disable WIFI Scanning to improve your battery life. If you want more, disable Location History, and if that's not enough, go into Google Settings, Security, and disable all the features listed therein. Want more? Go into Services, and disable all the other tracking features, i.e. web & app tracking, search history, etc..., then remove your Google account.

Wifi and bluetooth.
Plus apps running in the background. I had bad battery drain for a bit last week from Google Play Services. Clearing all "recent" apps (some weren't very recent) and rebooting helped.

Could've sworn I had WiFi scanning disabled already. I checked it again and it was enabled...I'll look at the rest of the stuff too. Thanks man.

I thought WiFi uses less battery than LTE though?

It does, as long as you are on a network. The drain happens when you aren't signed into one and it's searching for networks to connect to.

Ah yeah, if I'm not gonna be connected to one I definitely shut if off.
If youre rooted, then try disable service. You can find The app in the playstore

1) Root phone
2) Install AppOps
3) Find Play Services and disable wakelocks
4) Profit
I don't know what the heck Google is doing waking your phone up so much with Play services, but it doesn't appear to affect functionality at all, and you will quickly see it drop off of GSam's top offender list.
Hey all, apologies if this has been addressed.
The background, I was starting to get some slow down, laggy performance from my phone, so I went under developer options and went to see what processes were currently being run and what cached processes were saved. And then I noticed a process named, "My Verizon Services". WTF.
The last I remember, I setup my phone via WiFi without my sim card in, so that bloatware from Verizon didn't get installed. Am rooted via magisk/twrp and have manually installed subsequent updates.
Where did this process come from? And how can I make sure that after I do my full wipe, it won't sneak its way back into my phone? Or is this a mandatory process force installed to work on a Verizon network?

You sure that the My Verizon app isn't installed? I set up mine without the sim card in the beginning and as soon i as popped in the sim card, it installed those 3 Verizon apps. I just uninstalled them so it wasn't a big deal.
Yeah not installed, and searched throughout the phone with two different file explorers to root out verizon (vzw) apps, folders, etc. tried deleting them all but the process still shows up.
I'm curious if you still have that process running even after you deleted the apps.
Check it out for me and let me know.

If you put a VZ SIM in the phone it pulls My Verizon. If you start the app...even if you don't fully sign in..that service shows up. It stays there after you uninstall the app.
Just tested and confirmed on my Google phone.
Dang.... need to figure out how to block that from getting installed. Or how to fully rid it from the phone after.
Or does it only show up if you start the app? So if I don't start it up, I'm good?
I'll report back here in just a bit

If you uninstall it, the service shouldn't show up. Try rebooting after uninstalling and see if it goes away

Going to have to flash back to stock and uninstall it before you start it. I had never uninstalled it or started it. It was not in my running services when I first looked. So remove it before you start it.

Nope, it stays there even after reboot. It pops back up for a second running then moves to the cached in background section.

Bummer, just ran the flash all minus the -w and it's still there. So it's part of the User partition. Gonna take a full wipe I think. I am not worried about it, just enjoying figuring out the puzzle.
I'm right there with you. I don't understand why that process persists.
I've got slow wifi at my place, so it make take a bit for me to report back in. Currently installing all apps I had on my phone before, root, and then pop my sim card back in.
Goal- basically stop verizon apps download while in process.
Not sure what that process is/was doing. Or what information it is sending. But I really don't see why it needs to be taking up memory, or why it needs to be sending any data.
Thanks for looking into it with me.

I think it must be connected to the Sim card.
Factory reset, root, no verizon apps installed or downloaded
And it's still showing up in the running/cached processes.
It was not there when the Sim card was not in.
I'm curious if Sprint or T-Mobile folks have a similar process.
Got it killed.
Install All In One Toolbox from the play store, requires root for what we are doing. Fire it up and you can disable services from startup. My Verizon Services was there, disabled it and rebooted and it is gone. Then I uninstalled All In One and rebooted. Still gone.
I love the smell of burnt Verizon in the morning.
Be interesting to see if any side effects, like lost voicemail notifications.

Are you using the Verizon app by chance?? I have the same setup as you, and I use the app to check my data usage periodically. If your on wifi, you won't see it running under developer options. However, if you use it on mobile data, and deny the location prompt when you open the app, it'll stay running in the background searching. When your back on wifi, it'll still run, so I just go to developer options and shut it down.
Nice one.... worked like a charm. Thanks

Is the service related to the My Verizon app or is it due to network connectivity, specifically LTE Advanced Calling and/or Wifi calling? And you said you disabled and uninstalled it with a root app, which I can't use. But have you noticed anything untoward after disabling it? I click on it in the Cached Services tab and it says an old app cached but available if needed. Doesn't seem like it's doing anything weird. Phone is working fine and no crazy data or battery drain. (I have a Pixel 2 and not the XL version)
Haven't noticed anything detrimental. Though I did do a full wipe before doing all this because I was having some performance lag issues, like home screen swipes not being smooth, increased time while switching between apps.
I would be curious to know what it's actually doing since I never had any Verizon related apps loaded onto the phone.
If you watch the running processes screen during load up you'll see it run for a few seconds and then move over into the cached processes.
I don't know enough about debugging, but it would be interesting to see what it's doing and if it's sending or receiving any information.
But...I no longer have it running so I'm currently unable to do so.

I have a Pixel 2 XL simless on project fi and this app showed up on a security scan with Clean Master so I'd be curious to know how it got on my phone
Funny story....

It's actually a Google app and not Verizon bloat. That would explain how it got onto the non-Verizon variant of the phone. Still not 100% sure what it exactly does though, but according to this Verizon rep it is a dependency service for other apps which I'm assuming are from Verizon.

It's needed for VZ wifi calling. I froze it, wifi calling instantly stopped. Unfroze instantly worked again.

Wonder what other Verizon services rely on it to function. Figured I'd reach out to Google via the support chat to see if they might know, but they were pretty much useless.
Edit - May be adaway and magisk related.
Running latest stock debloated and rooted.
Tried all the obvious, disabled optimize, selected unrestricted data usage.
Apps such as Whatsapp, wickr, discord etc wont give notifcations until you go into the app.
So it is really annoying.
I tried make a post on the OP forums but as I am so new I cannot. Anyone who can help, please do. This is a major issue
looking at all the posts about it with no current solution. Thanks.
Battery Saver off?
Battery Optimization -> Advanced -> Everything off?
Keep WiFi during sleep on?
Have you tried under another wifi or with cellular data?
Are you using special magisk modules or used apps like Greenify?
Yes sir. Battery disabled optimization on apps I need,
Unrestricted data access enabled on these.
Wifi set to stay on during sleep.
See if u are using another app like discord, so phone is still active even then your notifications wont come in on whatsapp until u go into the app. So I dont think its wifi or 4g related.
I am using magisk yes? 17.1?
It happens on all wifi and 4g.

In the battery optimization settings, on the top right three dot menu -> advanced optimization did you check that your system wasn't set to "advanced optimization" ?
I'm sorry if it's already what you meant by "disabled optimize" but you could have stopped at per-app-settings without noticing the global switch.
