  Did you have mobile data on? If so, Google Play Services *does* use
mobile data even if you tell it to use WiFi only. And no it's not lying,
it never said it didn't use mobile data for *checking* (for updates),
did it!? :-(

  To fix the latter, you have to turn on data usage monitoring and then
check the per-app data usage. You'll see that Google Play Services is
using mobile data and there's a setting to turn that off. (Sorry, no
detailed instructions, I'm using a *real* computer ATM! :-))

> How many battery companies does google own?

  Have you turned off any and all checking for updates and automatic
updating?

  FWIW, I find automatic checking/updating (of Android apps) more a
nuisance than an advantage. I'm not interested in notifications of
updates for stuff I don't use, and am only slightly interested in
notifications for stuff I do use. If I want/need, I'm quite capable of
doing a manual check, thank you very much! :-(
