Hello everyone
I have a little problem with the battery life on my nexus7. Maps is keeping my wifi on which will drain the battery and results in a bad standby battery life.
I attached some screenshots that show up how many hours maps is keeping my wifi on.
Is there any solution to fix this problem or to restrict maps from keeping the wifi on?
Tried smart wifi toggler, but the app didn't turn on the wifi after disabling it.
Thanks for your help

No, cause sometimes i need it.
Now i just turn of wifi before i turn of the display.
What is your Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep Advanced Setting?
I had the same problem. Just go to settings/location and disable WiFi. If you want you can disable maps app if you don't use it. Settings/applications/maps and force close and disable.

Hi everyone
Noticed my Google plus app updates posts only when I'm on WiFi, not when I'm using my data connection. What could be the problem? I'm on the 4.2.1 ota but the problem was there before too.

I think there is a setting when you setup G+. Don't know if you can change it. Try resting the app through apps in the phones settings and set it up again.

Hey everyone
Just wondering why my mobile data app would be running on my nexus 7 32 GB Wi-Fi model. Is there an app that is causing it to turn on?
Please help me understand

Do you mean mobile data, or Wi-Fi?

Mobile data. It has a phone as an icon

Where are you seeing this icon? The mobile data notification is not a phone icon. A screenshot would help.

It looks to me like your screen shot is of the 'All' apps, not 'Running' apps. Or is this a list from a Task Killer (boo!)? If it is not using memory or cpu it is not running, so there is no need to worry about it. It is probably in the os because there are 3g versions of the N7.

its from the avg running task section, it doesn't show up on the android task running section though
I always have my mobile data turned off so that I don't get charged for it extra on my bill as I don't want random apps to be using data in the background without me knowing. I want to find a way to only enable data to the app Cerberus which can track your phone and stuff when lost. Is there a way to only enable data on certain apps because I don't mind paying a few extra dollars if that means me finding my lost phone.

If you go to settings>data usage and tap on an app in the list at the bottom of the screen, then you have an option to turn off background data when using mobile. See screenshot (it's in polish, but you get what I mean )

I don't know if that will work because I really just want data enabled for one app that I can utilize remotely to track me phone

Disable data for every app except the one that will track your phone this way then

How?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
A firewall from the play store. I recommend Android Firewall.
Edit: requires root
Use droidwall (rooted users only)
OK so a firewall did work and let me set which apps I want to allow WiFi and data... However it was really annoying because after I install a new app it would prompt me asking me to set the settings up for the new app... I don't want to keep doing this for every app I install is there any other way??

Wild guess here, try turning off Miracast in the notification bar toggles.
Nope, it off already...

I know the music player and video player also use dlna like example you can connect to wifi and stream music and videos from another device via dlna
This is nuts, it takes the equivalent of two hours screen time... And I don't even use it!
So the only way to disable it is by purchasing titanium backup?

Strangely the same thing just popped up for me. I've had the phone a week and never noticed dlna when looking at my battery stats. Today the phone appeared to be using more battery and dlna was the top offender for battery usage.
The app will not stop, I've cleared data and cache, tried to force stop and it just won't. I'm really not sure what is using it.
I added a lockscreen widget for the quick remote app yesterday night. I've removed that to see if it was causing dlna to run more, it doesn't seem like it should but who knows.

I wasn't either, but just today it started. I finally got the DLNA process to stop, going to watch closely and see if it kicks back on again.
So, I'm trying to pinpoint exactly what keeps using this process (com.google.process.location) any ideas? I've looked at other threads... No luck. I do use Google now... Would this affect this even if I've placed location history and location reporting off? Another app which I think is the issue is "find my friends" would this happen to be using up my location even though I have put the location reporting off in Google settings? Thanks for any help.

However, I don't want to always have to put on and off location settings when I use something like maps.

Your not turning off your GPS. Your turning off the wireless network which cause the Google services drain.

I think I solved such an issue on one of our s4 by uninstalling maps app (restore original) and reinstalling
