Hey guys. Had my X10i for 2 months now. Just an hour ago, my gps went on by itself and I've turned the phone off and back on twice and its still on. Any reasons this could be happening? I went into the settings and and GPS satellites and Assisted GPS are on, but that was normal.
I know it may sound like a dumb question but I'm not that much of an idiot, or am I? Any helps would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It will probablybe an application you've installed which uses location services or a website that can use location services. If you always have GPS enabled it will do this every now and again.

thanks misterzak. this is the first time ive seen this since ive had the phone. i'll keep an eye out on it. it stopped when i shut off maps with task panel after i posted but it came back on a few mins ago.
Try checking which apps you've recently installed. You can check whether they use location services in the Application sub-menu in the X10 settings. Some apps may let you switch off the location services they need.
Part of the reason I've replied is that I could see this topic going waaaaay out of control with loads of people saying they're having the same issue and that it is there is a massive fault in the phone.......a question like yours luckily had a simple answer.
People may have even thought it is Google checking up on them every 2 minutes, being "Big Brother" and all....
Using the new battery usage info in Honeycomb/gingerbread, I can see that there is an app periodically waking the device in pretty frequent intervals.
The only third party apps I have installed on the Xoom I also have on my phone and consider them safe.
Can you guys look at your battery usage? In particular look for times your device is awake but the screen is off. Thanks.
Install spare parts from the markpet. Under battery use there is a wakelock category and you should be able to find the offending application.
At this point, my battery life's so darn good I'm not worried if something is exhibiting this behavior. Seriously, though, I'll take a look as well and see if I can find anything going on.
Think I found it.
I turned off the "backup my data" feature in the privacy settings area. Since I've done that the device now sleeps without interruption.
Before, it was waking up what appeared to be every 5-10 minutes or so. It also, at times, completely and totally wakelocked the device.
It may be too early to claim victory here as its only been a few hours but I'm pretty confident that was the issue.
EDIT: nevermind, still seems to be waking up. Argh.

Crashes for me in Honeycomb.
Starting this week I've been experiencing a serious battery drainage in my device.
I've noticed this drainage happens at a time when Location Services appear to be working, for no apparent reason.
Now, I always have Location Services on, but I can never see it in the upper bar (the one where you can see the time, Wi-Fi connection, battery) unless I use an app that relies on it.
However, in the past few days, I see Location Services up there even though I'm not using any app that relies on it. What's worse is that it stays there even after I close all apps. In regular cases it tends to remain there as long as the app that needs it is running. As soon as I close the app, Location Services disappear from the upper bar.
If I turn off Location Services it will go away. However, once I turn it on it will be up there again. It will only go away if I reboot my phone.
Do you guys have any idea what may be causing this? I bought by Nexus 6p by the end of February and hadn't experienced this issue until this week. Before that, my battery usage was normal, and I could go a full day without having to charge my battery.
This issue, on the other hand, can drain my battery in the span of 1 or 2 hours.
Already noticed this problem and found the reason: Maps!

But I haven't used them.
For example, today I faced that problem solely by opening up Facebook. Then I rebooted my phone, opened up Facebook again but the problem didn't happen.
Now, I'm thinking this isn't happening by simply opening Facebook or Twiiter, but whenever I open them through the notification bar.
This is really odd.
I noticed the same battery drain. One night my phone batter wound up being pretty much dead. Today I noticed significant drain and when I looked at battery use, I saw where the consumption seemed to increase and observed the location services icon at the top of the phone that wouldn't go away even after making sure all apps were shut down. I don't really have many apps on my phone (certainly not ones that need location, so I suspect a recent update to Maps.
My first step was to delete and reinstall the updates. so let's see if that fixes it. If not, I'll just remove the updates and run that way until another version comes out. I suspect is just a goofed install or we would hear far more complaints of this issue.
I was literally getting ready to make a post about this. Sure enough, force-closing Maps stopped the issue. Glad to see it wasn't just me.
I'm having the same issue. I get the location icon on my status bar at random times and it stays there until a reboot. It eventually comes back. Pretty annoying as it is causing my phone not to deep sleep. I'm on stock with Franco kernel.

I'm having the same issue on latest stock firmware on both my SM-N910T3 & SM-T700. Started noticing the location icon all the time about a week ago, just about when it came out with the latest update on 4/1.
Well, uninstalling and reinstalling the updates to Maps didn't fix anything. I have uninstalled the updates and will monitor.

Facebook is, by far, the worst app you can have downloaded. It is the cause of general phone issues and bad battery life. I uninstalled both FB and FB messaging and my wake lock issue was fixed and, in turn, my battery life is noticeably better

I did a full master reset of my phone and am only running default applications. I still get the runaway location services. Before I did that, I downgraded Maps and that seemed to help. But then my phone automatically updated it. I know I can probably fix that situation but I'm surprised we aren't seeing more people with the problem.
Nexus 5x owner here (but posting my experience since this is literally the only thread on this anywhere).
Symptoms: Similar to everyone in this thread, location icon was popping up and staying resident in the top status bar. This was happening even without an event launching and causing massive battery drain. This was atypical of usage since my phone is basically not even used (essentially a notification machine with light text usage).
Checking the location menu, everything was listed as light usage, except for Maps as heavy usage (even though Maps wasn't even launched or in the recents menu)
Variables: Unfortunately, since my phone has been perfect since launch, I haven't been paying attention to all the updates granularly to isolate what was causing this. But, I do know for sure it happened after the April Monthly update and after a Maps update.
Troubleshooting: I was hoping it wasn't a system update issue, so I started poking around in the Maps settings to see if maybe a new Maps service was launched that was auto-enrolling users and potentially causing battery drain. Nothing to note, but I did notice I was signed out of Maps, which seemed weird. So I went ahead and re-signed into Maps with my Google Account.
Results: I honestly didn't expect this to have any impact, but the location issue hasn't come up after signing into Maps. It's been ~ 3 weeks and 4 battery cycles since I've had the location issue.
I'm not sure if signing in helped or maybe a server side Maps update fixed the bug, but if you're still having the location issue, it's worth a shot to see if you're signed into Maps (and sign in to try to fix the location issue).
If this does work for you, please report back since it will help in data gathering (and also we can let Google know the exact details of the issue and the potential fix so this bug doesn't hit in future versions).
Hey all,
Struggling with my V20. I've had it since launch and never had a single issue like this prior. I first started experiencing issues with no notifications showing up on my phone, unless I went into the app (hangouts, gmail, work email, etc.), when I traveled to the west coast (which caused a time change) about two weeks ago. As soon as I came back to EST, everything was working for ... a day. Notifications stopped working again.
So I factory reset my phone and things were better, but still not perfect. Regularly not getting notifications between my primary applications (good for enterprise, gmail, hangouts and google voice). The issue appears to be more so when on WiFi. As soon as I change to cellular I get MOST of my notifications (not all).
I installed Push Notifications which seemed to initially help, but thereafter, no dice. I'm not using any battery saving apps either.
I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong/missing that I'm having all these issues?
Thanks
I had the same issue. I contacted T-Mobile about it, and the problem seemed to just go away, so it could have been a network problem. However, I also rolled back SuperSU from 2.82 to the 2.79 SR3 by flashing it in TWRP. You should try that and prevent SuperSU from upgrading in the Play Store.
Thanks for the response; however, I'm not rooted.
Now that you mention it, I have had the issue recently as well. I will open snap chat and have snaps or hangouts and have messages. I do not have any kind of battery saver on or block apps from sending notifications. I am on ATT.
I have a friend who's having this exact same issue. He's on the 14B update from Verizon. We're thinking of trying a factory data reset to see if it solves the issue.
Yup. I got the same problem. Unlocked, on Verizon.
LG phones have always seemed to have this issue. This phone, my G5, G4... Annoying
I think I may have found a fix for it. I'll post a YouTube later.

Same issue with Gmail and my work email. I open the app and get flooded with notifications that had never come through.

I know Gmail has had its own issue with notifications that is not related to the phone. Many users including myself get delayed Gmail notifications or not at all. There is a bug tracker on the forum that Google states they apparently fixed but people still complain. It is frustrating.
I'm noticing that the Google app is causing delayed push notifications on all apps for me. I am able to reproduce the delay when connecting bluetooth devices (you may even notice it takes ~10 seconds for the bluetooth connection notification to show up on the secondary screen). I'm seeing the issue go away if you disable the Google app. I'm curious to see if this fixes the delay for other people. Try freezing/disabling the Google app.
I've been using Push Notification Tester where I'm able to see some heavy delays in push notifications being received. Specifically with Bluetooth connect events so far. I found the culprit to be the Google app by watching logs (logcat) and seeing reports that the app is processing events for 10 seconds per event which blocks the queue. If I continuously connect/disconnect bluetooth devices I will see push messages fail to be received for a long time (10 seconds for each bluetooth event adds up....)
If you're only experiencing issues with a specific app this might not be the the same issue. Worth noting I was able to reproduce this issue with a Galaxy S8. Figure I'd just share my findings.
I just disabled my google app, and it seems to have fixed the problem almost immediately. The bluetooth connection notification comes up on the second screen almost immediately, and goes away after a few seconds. Before disabling the app it would take up to 20 seconds to just show up on the screen, and then it would never go away.
Now to figure out why the app is doing it...

Thanks for this.
I tried on both cellular and WiFi - both don't get passed Notification arrived.
Any suggestions?

So, upon restarting my phone, these notifications (along with 20+ others) finally came through. Appears the only way I can get notifications is as follows:
1) Switch from WiFi to cellular, or vice versa, or Airplane mode - some notifications come through
2) Forcing a manual refresh while within an app
3) Restart the phone
I'm going bananas over here. Ready to smash this thing. I don't understand why doing a factory reset didn't fix this issue.
Help!
FWIW, called VZW, they have absolutely no idea.

By disabling the Google app, this simply rolls back the version of it. Is that you've found to be successful?

I do want to say that this issue is only happening on a recent release of the Google app since I suddenly started noticing this problem one day.
Therefore, rolling the Google app back may solve the problem, but I can't be for sure. You most likely won't be able to disable the Google app via the standard interface. You would need to be rooted and disable/freeze it with an app such as Titanium Backup or 3C System Tuner.
If you want to continue to use the Google app, you can get more advanced and specifically disable the receiver that the Google app is using to intercept the events. Note, though, that this may have side effects on the app, but I have yet to notice any issues. Using 3C System Tuner you can disable the "com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver" receiver which is what is intercepting and delaying the events/notifications.
App Manager -> Apps -> Google App -> Manage -> Open.. -> Details -> Receivers -> Uncheck "com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver"

Just be careful using this app as it allows you to change many things.
Here is the logcat message I noticed which was causing the delays. You'll notice it saying the CommonBroadcastReceiver consumed 10011 ms (10 seconds) while processing the android.bluetooth.device.action.UUID broadcast record which is fired when connecting/discovering a bluetooth device. This is why it would take 10 seconds before the event hit the 2nd screen.
Code:
06-21 19:29:27.496 1554 2993 W BroadcastQueue: ResolveInfo{99f8ba4 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.broadcastreceiver.CommonBroadcastReceiver m=0x108000} consumed 10011 ms for handling BroadcastRecord{a529d0d u0 android.bluetooth.device.action.UUID} in background queue
When I disabled Google, it rolled back the version and for the past couple hours, all notifications have been working perfectly. Let's see what the next couple days bring.

My US996 unlocked V20 has been getting progressively worse on bluetooth connections the last couple of months. After waiting and waiting for LG to update the phone, I decided to unlock and root recently. I am still on a stock rom, but at least I have options now.
Using 3C System Tuner to disable CommonBroadcastReceiver as you have shown has been the greatest help of anything I have done. This info could easily merit it's own thread under "V20 bluetooth connection issues".
Before applying your work-around my phones bluetooth connections would become less and less consistent, slow to connect, fail to connect, stuck secondary screen connect notifications, and require frequent reboots to connect to my vehicle.
After disabling CommonBroadcastReceiver, connections are quick and mostly reliable, no stuck secondary screen notifications.
I believe the blame for these problems lies with LG and their lack of attention to google android updates. Google might have fixed these issues 6 months ago and LG has not done anything about it. My US996 was last updated December of 2016, LG said they have no update scheduled for my phone. No security updates, no android updates.
Thanks again for this work-around!
ive had this issue going on for a few months now. how does the google app affect text notifications? this is so frustrating and i am on call for work and i am missing notifications in the middle of the night.
After about 20 minutes, Pandora keeps closing. Battery management for the app is off. I've tried uninstalling, restarting the phone, but nothing has helped.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yep. Already tried turning off battery optimizing for pandora and giving it the proper permissions.... I suspect it is due to oos aggressive battery mgmt
This is a sign from the Universe to switch to Spotify. You have bright futures ahead.
Experiencing the same. Very annoying.
you guys figure this out?
I've had the same issue with Google Play Music. The only solution I have found so far is to lock the app in memory. After that, I've never had issues with it just closing randomly.
No issues at all with Pandora. I'm on 9.0.11. I have the app set to optimize, but I've got adaptive battery turned off because reasons.
I experience this all the time with the direct from Oneplus 6T. However, my wife's T-mobile 6T doesn't do this. What the heck?
I'm on 9.0.11, still does this with Pandora despite turning off battery optimisation and adaptive battery...has anyone else figured this out yet?
No issues here. May be Pandora's problem. Maybe they need to fix the app.
Pandora stops after 20 minutes ~
Was experiencing the same thing. I turned my background restriction off under battery usage, seems to be fixed on mine now. Nope shut down again
Apps stop working fix on armor phone. Mine is armor 6E
Press app main button near your home button. Then you can either swipe away running apps or press one of the two buttons which are clear all, or go into running apps settings (same screen, not main settings). This allows you to either have all apps stop after a certain time or individually have apps turn off automatically once screen times out after a certain amount of time. I hope this helps! Took me forever to find.

I agree with this post. I also noticed that when using pandora while using the waze navigation app that you can skip or pause but, are not able to replay a song. I have contacted both pandora and, waze about this issue and, they just blame each other. In the end no fix. I have pandora plus btw
I understand this may only help a few people, but what fixed it for me was going to settings > battery > adaptive battery > restricted apps... And then removing Pandora (from the list I forgot I added it to, upon the phone's prior suggestion)
