Have a i9300 with CM11 M12 installed. Since yesterday have been repeatedly getting the error that Google play services has stopped. It pops up every 5 sec driving me crazy

Some triggers
- turning on GPS at high accuracy
- connecting the charger

Solutions tried
- uninstalled google play services, Google play store and Google app. Cleared cache and reupdated. Did not help
- i keep GPS off to avoid this. But that's a pain

Help

Did you flash the correct Gapps with that CM version ?? Sounds like Gapps issue.. Try another Gapps package.. (Simple, mini, full )

Think so... It's been working fine all this while. Moved from CM11 M7 all the way upto CM11 M12 using this only

Did you disable some permission in privacy guard for google play services like permission to wake and keep awake.

If there is any limit on background app process, remove it.

You guys were right about the limits. I solved this in a weird way. Turned on privacy control for google play in settings>privacy>privacy guard. Then gave it all the permissions by putting all the drop down boxes as "always allow"

Seems to have worked till now. No errors happening
