Yesterday I noticed that my nexus seemed to be using wi-fi only for location fixes. Yet the GPS option in location services is enabled. The GPS status app along with other GPS apps day the GPS is disabled. I have tried using only GPS and disabling agps, restoring a backup, and even clean flashing after factory reset. Every app seems to believe that GPS is disabled. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I believe there is a gps location setting in google accounts under accounts tab on 4.2.1 .

Bump.
OS says location services not turned-on. It is and I have enabled in accounts too.

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.

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.

I just took my n4 out of my pocket to check what time it is, and I had to enter my pin and time and date because it was set to 1970. Battery is at 70%.
Did anyone have similar problems

This usually happens if the cache on the Google services framework app is cleared. Do you have some sort of app cleaner or task killer running?

Not at all. I was using it normally all day, and it still works fine now.

My Google maps appl is unable to fix onto my current location. I have turned location on in settings and Google settings. The problem is peculiar and localized only to the maps app, while apps like foursquare get a fix just fine. Anybody face the issue before?
ROM: PA 3.98
PS: maps works perfectly fine on browser

You could always factory reset and re-flash PA and gapps again.
I wanted to avoid that option.. But yeah it helped

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
