anybody else been tied up by the Google Play Services debacle? Rapid battery drain, lagging screens, having to downgrade Flyme's operating system etc etc etc?

I'm on Flyme 6.3.0.0G and do have some lagging screen issue every now and then, as for battery ... I only have to put it on charge once every three days. Though I tried install Google Keep which cause the whole phone to not responding, left it idle and battery went down like I was using it intensively the whole time so Keep was uninstalled, I'm back on my routine a-three-day charging (from 5% to 90%). Unless it was a rainy week I have to charge phone more often sometimes almost once every day not sure why but I know it's something to do with WiFi because when I turn off Wifi overnight I didn't have that draining issue.

What I notice since 6.3 upgrade, I have to calibre the phone quite often, once every five weeks or so to get back button/finger scan working. And Lock screen often give no respond (like grey screen or sometimes black as though the phone was off) especially when I try to get straight into my mail app. But after waiting for ten minutes and try again it was back to normal. 

I am trying to get OTG for USB storage working, so far no luck or maybe my thumb drive is too large or the phone doesn't support OTG -- but there are some Youtube videos that suggest it works but maybe Indian Flyme is different.

Yup, similar issues here.

Oh I receive an update notification just now, "bug fix" so hopefully some of these draining bugs get fixed. I guess wait and see.

^^^^^^ where did the notification come from?

It popped up from when I go into Flyme OS screen, System Apps update it seems. I don't have Flyme account by the way.

Had my (Flyme 6.2.00G) Meizu 2 years now, like it, generally been user friendly. Battery last for ages. No problem with Google play etc. I'm not technically minded but can get by...6.3 sounds not so good I don't want it! 

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but help needed please.

I have a Meizu M2 which still works well. Can anyone tell me how to move apps to the SD card please as I keep getting critically low on storage messages. Saving for a new phone. Lusting after pie, but it will be Oreo I think!
