Help troubleshoot why Maps GPS is stuck on - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Nexus 4, complete stock. I've been playing around with my location settings and cannot figure out why GPS will ALWAYS keep running regardless of my settings. The GPS Timer will keep ticking up no matter what, even force closing Maps application.
Settings -> Location Access
Settings -> Google account -> Location settings -> On/off
Maps -> Settings -> Location Settings -> Uncheck all / Not reporting
Only solution I've found is to restart my phone, anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

Go to settings > Location access make sure everything there is unchecked and/or turned off.
If your problem still persists, you can use Greenify from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
This helps to stop GMaps from running in the background.
If you rather not root or your problem still persists you should try doing a factory reset.
If all else fails, RMA!
Good luck

Reboot in quicklist?

I've been searching high and low and cant seem to find anything that works on the diamond.
Just want to add a restart option to the quicklist when you long press hang up, maybe even a power off option in it as well.
All the cabs ive tried don't work, they either do nothing or just make the quick list not work.
Anyone know?
No one know it?
What you mean "quicklist"?
When you long press hang up, by default its lock, but you can change that in settings to show quick list of different options: Turn Airplane Mode on (flight) > Lock Device > Terminate Data Connection > Set Vibrate > Settings
Why you don't use small apps (simply exe files) and with shortcuts you make that you want?
I personally use these apps (screen off, restart, shutdown).
Look the screen below.

}
I'm using screen off shortcut to all panels and restart - shutdown to right panel.
You can also put the shortcuts at Start Menu.
I thing it's easier way.

[Q] Strange wifi issues

Hey guys, been having this problem for a while but finally had enough of it!
For a start, in the wifi list in settings it doesn't show me which network I am actually connected to.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In addition if i tap another wifi network which despite already previously been connected to it , it will still ask me for the password again, after which it keeps saying failed to connect, it wont let me connect to it
I have been getting around the problem by using WPS on my wifi router and "WPS Push Button" in the settings menu when I'm home to get it to connect to my home wifi as opposed to "BT OpenZone" every time, which is quite frustrating!
I'm rooted on stock rom , Build Number KOT49I.D80220h however this problem has been ongoing atleast since before the last 2 updates.
Any ideas/troubleshooting I can do??
Cheers amishra123
Tried resetting to factory defaults?
I haven't no. What's the best/easiest way to go about backing up before and restoring afterwards ?
LGBackup on the phone should suffice. Just make sure to copy the LGBackup folder to a safe location (like a PC/laptop).

Weird gps turning on by itself

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?

Wifi won't turn off when screen off

Hello
In settings I have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Never" but wifi still doesn't switch off when screen is off. That's draining my battery very fast.
I'm on EMUI 4.0 ALE-L21C432B564.

Sorry for my English.
Try changing it to only when plugged in. See if that helps.

If you have location set to high accuracy check if GPS acceleration is enabled (advanced settings - location services - auxiliary location settings), this option uses wifi even if it's turned off to set location more accurately.
I'm not sure if it will help but might as well check it.

Thanks for replies but it didn't fix problem.
Found workaround with Automate (Tasker alternative). I made profile which disables wifi when screen off and enables wifi when screen on. Works perfect so far.

YouTube won't load anything - tried everything I can think of. Suggestions?

***Solved*** - See Below.
I'm really stuck as to what to try. The Youtube app doesn't load on any tab, just an endless whirring logo can be seen. Below are the steps I have taken to attempt to fix this.
1 - Force Closing, Clearing Cache/Data
2 - Uninstalling Updates --> Enabling/re-enabling all app permissions
3 - Removing google Synced account from the Accounts section in settings multiple times
4 - Enabling/Disabling the app in settings
5 - Restarting, erasing device cache
6 - Deleting cache under storage section in settings.
7 - Deleting youtube folder in Android --> App Data
8 - Uninstalling all updates and trying to downgrade to earlier versions of the Youtube app.
As a side note, when adding a Guest device profile... youtube works fine. Therefore something must be causing this on my main device profile - and I have no clue what this could be. This is quite annoying as I use Youtube quite frequently and frankly, I'm out of ideas on what to do
