GPS drains the battery quickly. This is common among all smartphones. Disable it unless you're ready to use it, or stay near a charger.

Disable location history in Maps' settings.

i disabled it but gps was still on. i had to force close maps and after that gps stopped.
thanks for replies.
If you don't or use it without a lot of frequency maps, freeze it with Titanium Backup and defrost whenever you want to use..

The gps is working again, without any intervension
Hi,
Recently I noticed that GPS is not working anymore on my mobile, when trying to show my location on Google Maps for example I get "your current location is temporarily unavailable"
The gps is not working anywhere else, whether I change the location or not, and for all the apps too not only Google Maps.
Before I have the Firmware 1.5 and things worked very well for me, and few days ago I updated to 1.6 but I didn't check for the GPS till now, so I guess it might be the reason.
note: when I use "Use wireless networks" to determine location I get the location normally, Also the phone got detected by Windows 7 64bits just 2 days ago, so I suppose something changed since I was trying to get it work for 2 months now.
Do anyone have an idea how to fix this, thank you.

I've been playing with GT-I9505 for few days, and I feel like my Galaxy S4 has serious battery drain issue.
Its idle time is okay. I always turn on GPS to be able to use any location services like GPS tagging on photos or Google Now. I use auto brightness to reduce any battery drain.
The problem happens when I use internet. Whenever I use any internet services like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Chrome, etc, the battery goes down about 5% while holding and using internet for 5 to 15 minutes. I just felt this is wrong.
Another weird part is Google Maps. I never used Maps app today, but it sucks about 30% of battery. I assume it's because of Google Now's location services, but I still don't understand how Google Maps and Google Now is connected when I used GPS only few times during a day.
Anyone experiencing similar drain issue? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello people,
I will be going on holiday soon, now I am trying to get as much battery life out of the Nexus as possible. But I stumbled upon maps. Since my Nexus is a wifi only device why does it use that much battery.
I will appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Maps runs a lot of background services for location reporting and location-aware services such as Google Now. If you're rooted, you can use an app called Greenify to massively take off the hurt, but otherwise it really comes down to disabling location reporting wherever you can. Disabling your GPS can help a bit (power-drain wise, since Maps will still try to run anyway with coarse location).
Is it possible to check which app has used the gps? Afaik Android has no such way which is annoying. Correct me if I'm wrong.
(my location is always set on high accuracy btw, which means it is a combination of both network location and gps. Afaik there shouldn't be any gps related drain even if the gps option is enabled, as long as it is inactive for the whole period)
The gap between the picture is the time I slept, (left phone completely idle) yet something seems to be using the gps to get a lock. Obviously I live indoors so the gps will fail to get a proper lock. I presume it will continuously try to get a gps lock (draining the battery) until some timeout kicks in.
Note for the whole duration my mobile network was set to 2G.
Getting high Msim_hsic_host wakelocks too. No idea how to get rid of them. I also used these aggressive amplify settings

Did you allow Google to track your location when you set up your account on the S4?
Hi
On Sunday I flashed the "Havoc-OS-v4.6-20210727-trlte-Unofficial.zip" (Android 11.0) onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 LTE N910F and so far I am very happy with it.
Before I had the N4S-Rom v14.4 (Android 6.0) on it, everything worked perfectly. On the train I also made the new TWRP 3.6.0_9-0-trlte on it.
The only problem is that in the apps: Clever-tanken, WetterOnline, Wetter.com and also in Google Maps no location can be determined.
With all of the apps mentioned, I of course also checked that they had the authorization to access the location.
GPS is switched on, but it does not appear in the statusbar at the top, although I have activated it there. In the "GPS Test" app, however, the symbol is there. I tested it on the balcony, so there was a clear view of the sky.
Here are a few screenshots: The result of the "GPS test" and how it looks in the other apps:

}
Can you tell me what I can do there?
greeting
meggamoon
Can't really anyone help me there?
In my opinion there can be no hardware problem to blame, otherwise the "GPS test" wouldn't say that everything is OK, right?
There should either be something wrong in the settings or something ...?
I just installed the app "GPS Status & Toolbox", here you can also see that it should actually work, right?
