I'm having an issue with my n7. The maps app that I never use is constantly eating loads of battery. Its always the second thing in the battery usage list. I never use it! why is it draining my battery?

I think its built to start up automatically during certain actions such as wifi being turned on. You should be able to disable it in settings > apps. If you're rooted, you uninstall it.

I'm rooted but I don't want to completely uninstall it. For now I have disabled location services, so I will see how well that works.

Get titanium Backup and freeze it. When you need it just defrost it

Curious, does GTalk consume a lot of RAM and does it have a great deal on battery? I want to leave it on so my daughter can IM me with her tablet when she's at her mom's. And great that it has video.. Haven't used gtalk in a long time. Thank you. I don't see it running in the battery history though... :/

I've used it on android for years and never felt like it had an adverse effect on battery life. Go for it.

What about ram? I know we have a lot on this phone but still want to know.. It runs in the background right?
Sent from my Nexus 4
Na, it doesn't take up much RAM. And yea, it does run in the background but it goes into Push mode after a while
No

Gtalk is very good on battery. Until you do a video call.

Ok, thanks guys.
Personally, I freeze Google Talk using titanium backup (you can disable it natively in apps on settings menu) because I don't use it. But since you have a usage for it, I don't think it uses a lot of ram. You have more than enough RAM so i wouldn't worry about it.
One thing definitely to do is to disable Google Latitude if you haven't already (it's in Maps and is on by default to report your location automatically). If they helped, press the thanks button
I dont use several Google services, and I freeze them without any problems.. Since sometimes they drain battery

How to fix this?
I stopped location sharing etc. still no deep sleep?

If you have your N4 rooted, you can "freeze" maps until they release a fix with apps like "root uninstaller". Maps won't launch anymore and can't cause any wake locks then.
If your phone is not rooted, there's no luck until Google releases a fix.

It is a Google service and I have disabled location services and Google Now. Does not seem to make a difference. I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. I have the phone set up basically the same apps as my N4 and my Nexus is crushing my G2 in battery life. Any ideas would be great on what is causing this.

Are u talking about google service that you see when you go into battery usage options? If yes, im in the same boat as you.
What percentage of battery doew the google service use?
I would like to know how to take care if this problem as well

I am using better battery stats and it is partial wake lock I guess I did not bother looking at the overall usage. I am trying a few more things and will report back later.

add me to the list of people this is driving nutzo.
Question, when you go to google sync under settings/accounts and sync, does it show that 'sync is not available at this time?'
I wonder if that could be causing it?
I am waiting for my case to make it my daily driver but last night I tinkered and went and set up all my Google apps and changed my Google plus photo to only upload on charger. When I turned it off it was deep sleeping and and that wake lock was no where to be found. If anyone wants to try this and see if it helps.

I was using GPS on and off during a trip, but whenever I'd turn it off, I'd make sure WiFi services in location settings was off too. And data too. But Google services kept going up, why? I checked for wakelocks and found none. Doesn't make sense

Interesting. I saw that Google services were on the top of the list for using the battery and went into Location services and unchecked that same box and just left GPS turned on and Google Service were no longer an issue. Have you tried pulling the battery? I remember that on my Note 2 sometimes things got "stuck" and pulling the battery was the only way to fix it.
For some reason google play services seems kinda high... its the second highest on my list. I'm not sure what could be causing this.. any ideas?

That app is a hog! If you're rooted go ahead and make it a user app then greenify it. If you aren't rooted then Idk what you can do because unfortunately you can't uninstall it. :/

Make sure in the location services WiFi and data is unchecked. And you can also download betterbatterystats to figure out what the drain is also. Your battery should look like this. Screen should be the most used.

I turned off location services and location history last night before I went to bed, Seems much better. Google play services isn't even on the list anymore. I'll have to see how it goes today.
yeah, it seems every app wants access to your location.
i seem to have more issues on kk roms and none on TW roms like Golden Eye--may vary for others--
