New google maps update is draining my battery!

This new google maps update is destroying my battery. Is there any way to revert back to the last update, but not get rid of all the updates? ><
Anyone else notice this? I havent even opened the maps app and its taken 36% of my battery versus everything else on my phone. More than the display even.

I noticed this too. My phone was getting very hot and the battery was draining quickly. When I took a look at the battery usage info, it said that google maps had used something close to 40% of the battery. Maybe it has something to do with Latitude? I'm going to make sure I'm logged out to see if that makes a difference.
Also, looks like this isn't just limited to the shift.

As far as what others are saying, it isnt related to lattitude, at least as far as making sure you are logged out.
People have logged out supposedly and have the same problem. It makes no sense as I have always been logged into lattitude and never ran into this problem in older versions.

This probably does the opposite of help you but I installed the update the day it came out and haven't had any issues. It pops up in ATK every now and then (I just use it to watch things my phone seems to run way better when I'm not killing apps all the time) but it hasn't even showed up in my battery usage unless I use it for something of course. Even then, I've seen nowhere close to the battery usage you guys are seeing.

You'll just have to kill it on reboot, or after you open maps. It's ridiculous.

To put it into other terms . I unplugged phone and played angry birds for 15 min. 12% was used by angry birds and maps used 10% the rest was mostly display.

Just went into class with a 95% charge, 2 hours later when class was over my charge was 45%..... Google maps was the majority of that. Tell me that is screwed up. :'(

That is weird. My phone has been unplugged 21 hours and doesn't even register google maps in the battery status. Maps is updated for me as well.

I hope this gets figured out for you guys, I tried to make it happen on my phone today but I've been unplugged for over 18 hours and still have 47% remaining with maps showing in ATK all day.

It doesn't show up in my battery usage either.

Haven't noticed my battery dieing any faster, but google maps seems to want to always run. its starting to get very annoying that every 10 minutes i have to kill it again. why won't it die and stay dead till i run the program. I've even tried using several auto killers and "startup preventivers" with no luck. and whats worse, sometimes i'll end up with 3 or 4 copies of google maps running at once. what the hell is going on?

networklocationlocator wakelock

Hi,
Hope someone can help because I'm pulling my hair out over this. I am seeing pretty terrible battery life on my nexus 7 ranging between 3 and 6 hours screen time over a day or two. The culprit is pretty obvious as reported as Google services in battery usage and I can clearly see obscene partial wakelocks from networklocationlocator. This is chewing through battery while the tablet is not in use. I have attached a screenshot of both the standard battery graph and better battery stats. Latitude is not on, I am not reporting location but location services are enabled for Google now etc. Please help. I don't want to have to cripple Google now to solve this issue.

No suggestions at all?

Does this show up under your regular battery stats? I would try to help by offering a comparison, but I have no interest in spending $3 for a battery stat program like you're using.

I'm having similar problems with mine.. poor battery life, and I seem to have almost the same partial wakelock issue, except on the top of my list, I have AudioOut_2, which is really weird, I have no idea what that does. NetworkLocationLocator is the 2nd on my list..
I also have very low screen times ranging between 3-6 hours, way below Awake time. which means its doing stuff in the background..
My regular google battery page looks like yours. Wish I could help.. I will investigate some more.. do some tests.
Ive been thinking of doing a factory reset..see if that helps anything.

I was having the same issue, though the only thing I realized I didn't check was my Google Now settings. Go in there to make sure one or more of the cards aren't GPS happy.
I turned off a bunch of them, and will check again tomorrow to see if that does the trick.

In Common.
My issue is IDENTICAL, this is really a big time problem I hope there is a solution to. I don't have a Nexus 7 tablet, but a Verizon Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1. This is a Jelly Bean problem. I unplugged my phone from a full charge, turned the screen off, and woke up to 66%.

Ridiculous battery drain on standby

It seems that the battery drain on my newest N7 (RMA'd first one) is waay worse than on the other, I'll attach some screen shots of what I mean.. it may be just the WiFi is using a lot more than the other's :S I left it 4 hours alone with WiFi and the battery drained 20+ % which even with WiFi on seems excessive does it not? Is it possible I got one with a faulty WiFi radio? I will be testing tomorrow (or maybe tonight) to see battery drain with WiFi turned off to compare, because it also seemed to drain fast when I was just out and about with WiFi off :/ worried I have bad battery, deep sleep isn't working right (it is going into deep sleep or at least thinks it is from looking at cpuspy), or faulty WiFi... or just too early to judge XD has anyone noticed battery improve over time ? I forget if I did was a month ago I got the original
BTW first screen shot was taken pretty much right as I was leaving for work, so you can compare the battery drain there..

I doubt it's a bad wifi radio, its probably an app that is syncing like crazy in the background.

I'm currently watching the MediaServer app use a disproportionate amount of battery (14% and rising). I deleted a number of images which must of kicked in the scanner which must be very inefficient.
I also noticed my N7 become very slow at the same time.
Possibly you downloaded a large amount of images/music/etc before putting your device to sleep...

I really wish I could figure out why maps keeps starting a process.. can you check to see how many instances of maps there are ? In particular one running Prefetcherservice.. as for the other comment, media server is sitting at 6%, android is at 14%, and screen at 67%.. though I did copy a bunch of songs and pictures over after the RMA, is there a way to fix these or should I delete them to see if it gets better ?

Sigh, I might just have a bad battery, or preferably poorly calibrated, since another hour of use, just browsing and such, and I'm down 20% more -_- hope I don't have to RMA again

As a side question.. how hot does your tablet get under normal use? Mine has been heating up quite a bit in the battery section i think with just average on browser use :/

Nothing you've mentioned sounds even the slightest bit out of the ordinary. I know a person who thinks they are always sick is a hypochondriac so is someone who always thinks there is something wrong with their computing device a hypo-com-driac?

Bahaha good one I dunno, the problem is that this is literally my fourth N7 since the other three allll suffered from major screen lifting, so maybe I am looking for something wrong just so i can make sure it's perfect... Though I do think the battery life is pretty weak, I think I may have figured SOMETHING out, the only difference between this and my original is that my original had a huge section of the map of my area downloaded, and since I did that maps hasn't started any additional processes.. so good sign ? maybe ? haha

Yeah this might be a good time to stop looking for trouble and just enjoy the tablet for a while. I drop mine on the charger in the morning and don't ever really think about the battery other than that. Whatever the battery stats say now they won't say in a week and they won't say after you flash to a different ROM. If you have wifi on apps will sync and the tablet will loose it's charge. I'm never far enough away from an outlet to make it much of a concern. So maybe just take a breather, install the Angry Birds and have some fun for a bit. Eventually we'll have ROM's and kernels that make this thing sip electricity but for now I get the few hours a day I need out of it on one charge so I'm set.

You think the battery life will get much better than what it is? My only other android experience is my HTC Desire Z which has a horrible battery as it is so it didn't improve much at all with custom roms
Speaking of improved life through ROMs and kernels, have you noticed any kernel providing particularly better battery life ? I'm on trinity right now, no voltage changing, but underclocked to 1.1 ghz from 1.3

Factory reset, see if the problem continues. That's the only way decide if it's a HW problem.
And my N7 uses effectively 0% battery in standby, it was off the charger yesterday for 6 hours and when I started playing around it was still at 99%. I turn off wifi on screen off, however.

Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 to find out what's waking up your phone, the apk is in the second post. Install, charge it up, unplug, leave for 4 hours idle then look at partial wakelocks and alarms.
I saved quite a bit of standby time by disabling location services and Facebook.

If your not using nfc that could save battery?

So it seems like partial wakelock is mostly audioout_2 which i assume comes from me playing a game with music amongst other things?
Alarms says com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has 50 wakeups, and maps has 38 :S why does maps keep trying to kill me?! and what is the googlequicksearchbox doing waking the tablet up...

Wlan_Rx_wake seems to be the culprit of semi bad battery. Is there a way to prevent the tablet from waking up all the time? Maybe just unsync or turn off WiFi instead?

When my battery drain was bad I had something like 250+ wakeups from maps under the alarms section in only a few hours off the charger and Maps was showing up as the most common reason for partial wakelocks.
I think AudioOut_2 is normal - Im not sure what it does though. Im now at 8+ hours of standby with 99% battery. Under alarms im showing 138 Maps wakeups and 76 from google quick search box. My drain is all gone now though so i assume this is within normal range. The better battery stats thread and a few other threads on XDA have detailed descriptions of the different battery draining wakelocks and possible remedies. Not all wakelocks are bad though.

Battery life ?

Hello,
I'm here because i think i need your help.
On every blog that i found on the test of the LG G2, they mention a very strong autonomy (1,5 - 2 days of intensive use with 8-10h of screen time)
I've the LG G2 D802, rooted, stock rom. Uninstalled every bloatware, installed battery doctor, BatteryGuru, Greenify, Mediaserver Killer, but i don't found my autonomy as good as they mention on every blog.
This day i've used few apps such music, photo , sms and 15min of game (Dead Ahead), some bluetooth.
I don't use many widget (just for bbc one)
Let the wifi, H+ everytime. No GPS at all (neither the wifi location)
Sync always on (no automatic backup of my photographs).
Don't know if this is a very intensive use (not at all for me) but i don't know if i need to return my phone ...
Is that normal ?
Thank in advance for your response.

My battery sucks, to be honest. I did the same as you except without the battery apps and only get about a work day (wake up at 7, home by 6). By the time I get home, battery is complaining. I just text and instagram alot. No music at work. Kind of sucks...

Bad Battery?
Hi i just my lg g2 yesterday, but I can barely get through 10 hours on solely wifi and texting with some internet surfing. Is this bad? Because I have been looking around and people have been getting around 15 hours of battery, which will get me through the day. I also have a 7-6 day at school.

Compared to my screenshots, i didn't played video, neither video game so much, didn't activated the GPS... I didn't used a lot my phone as you can see "5h45 of running time"
More of that, i tweaked a lot my phone to obtain this "poor 4+ hours screentime" so ... thought can be way more

ok well we will need to dig into whats eating your battery.
get betterbatterystats, its also here on forum.
get cpu spy, see amount of time asleep or at which frequencies your cpu runs often.
check what is longest on partial wakelocks, or has the highest amount of wakeups. each wakeup requires about 10 seconds idle cpu time.
How have you setup account sync.
I know none of this can be concluded from the screens above. But I do think it could attribute. also just guessing here.

I had really awesome battery life when I got my phone, almost 48 hours with like 6-7 hours of screen on time.
But now I've used it for a few weeks it hawks 30% in 4-5 hours with less than 1% screen on time, I don't know why!

Rouge app or service. 3 months in, clean phone, I lose at most .2%/h no use, and that's with GPS and Wi-Fi always active, full sync. With a few minutes of screen time in 5 hours, it's slightly possible I may 1-2% for the total.

It does not. I use it for weather, commute traffic, and game info. It updates itself with widget, just not based on location unless it pulls wifi drop to cell. I locate manually if need be with pull down refresh. I can and have gotten over 7hours. The location reporting reports entirely to often and creates too many wakelocks. Wish Google would fix it already. At least give some form of control.

I keep history on. It still saves history when I manually refresh, widget wants to at random times (doesn't happen often), or data coverage changes (like cell data to Wi-Fi).

GPS Awake Time

So I've been one of those suffering from "not-the-best" battery life... on average I get about 2 to 2.5 hours of SOT and a total battery life of about 12 hours. This after disabling pretty much every single notification, setting auto brightness with 70%, using high accuracy GPS, doing a lot of photography, moderate amount of surfing/web video watching, very little texting and no gaming. I I go hard and use it a lot more than usual, I'll get 7-8 hours of battery life.
My question though is, I looked under Android System right now and with 7h52m of usage, I have a GPS on time of 3h26m. I haven't used maps but have used facebook, flickr, and instagram.... isn't that high? Or is that normal for the high accuracy mode?

Assuming you have rooted, download App Ops and disable the GPS app's ability to keep the phone awake.

I'm not sure where to check, to look at my GPS time with a Verizon model?
But, just to mention the simple stuff, you could change to Networks Only, if approximate locations were sufficient.

Yes, it becomes less accurate, and is not suitable for use with navigation/maps.
Rightly or wrongly, I leave Location set to Networks Only (battery saving), unless I'm using the phone for navigation. Then I change it to GPS Only, or maybe High Accuracy.
I made a shortcut to Location on my home screen, to make this process quicker. It sounds like, with root, this switching back and forth can be automated.

I know, and I was just letting you know that I understand where u are coming from! Anyways, ever since I have rooted too, I am getting my GPS staying on for long periods of time when I'm not using it. I have just turned it off until I figure what's causing it. I'm sure it's just a rogue app that has to be deleted or else I froze something with Titanium Backup that's causing the issue. Anyways, i will report back if I find out exactly what it was.

I always leave mine on high accuracy. It should have little effect on the battery. If it's causing a high drain, there's something not quite right.
As stated above, you could use Tasker to disable it and turn it on when running maps etc.

I would also like to know whats causing this. It has happened all the time I have owned the phone. So root or not does not make a difference. Also mine is non carrier 815 eur model so carrier bloat is not the culprint. I have already taken location permission off from most of the apps but no use. So if anyone knows the solution or how to find the toque app I would really really appreciate if you told about it.

Try what I did if you are rooted use App ops to find out what has asked for your location. Mine was of course first Android system etc but after that it said Google Search app. Mine seems at least better now. Not perfect but much better.
And actually even if you are not rooted you can use the built in permission manager.
