maps app + battery loss

Just my n4 and it was my first day out and about with it and when I checked my battery usage at about 50% I noticed the maps app had used 25% of that. What's weird is that I never even opened the maps app all day. I never had anything close to this on my gs2 on cm10 even when using maps. Is this normal for this phone and is it part of Google nows "distance to home" thing? I used that on my gs2 and didn't have the battery drain.
I am on stock 4.2.1 unrooted and locked (not for long )
Looked on android issues page and others seem to be reporting this on 4.2.1 has anyone found a fix aside from completely disabling the services?

This has been covered many times. Next time try searching the forums first.
Go to maps, settings, location settings. Uncheck all options related to location reporting and location history. This won't completely disable all location services but will stop all background processes relating to maps. After this my battery stats do not report maps anymore.

And just so everyone's clear: doing this severely limits the ability of Google Now, right?
I understand it's a tradeoff for battery life. The question is more just to make sure there aren't lots of people complaining about Google Now not working as well as it did before they turned off all the location reporting.

This has nothing to do with google now. This pertains specifically to the maps app. I verified with the locaion settings in maps disabled but system location access enabled I was still able to use google now and any apps that require location access (yelp, Facebook, etc).

[Q] Google Maps Draining Battery

Hi, I've noticed that Google Maps is taking up a significant portion of my battery (around 75%), whereas the screen only takes up around 8%. I've tried disabling all the location services stuff and it's still at the high percentage, even after reboots. How can I lower how much battery Google Maps is taking? Thanks!

Same for me. I don't know why Google maps is taking so much battery life...

Use an app called Greenify - it'll hibernate Maps very well to the point it never wakes hardly at all. Be careful with Greenify though, if you add apps to it that require Push notifications then you may never receive your notifications.

Doh.. I used it on my galaxy nexus... haven't yet installed it on my S4 and forgot that Maps was pre-installed.. Shame shame samsung.
If you're rooted then you can just delete maps from system then install it from the play store.

I'm new to Android, so I don't want to root my phone... are there any alternative solutions? I believe the problem with google maps first appeared after I tried out either WatchOn or S Health. Any opinions/advice?

I had the same problem! You can now fix this without rooting your phone.
Open maps\settings\location settings\location reporting, and select do not update your location. Also, uncheck latitiude location sharing and check ins if you don't use them.
Just a tip, ensure your GPS is turned off.
Hope this should improve your battery life.

i am in the same situation. Even, i don not know how to get out of this application of google map

Battery Drain Issue..Kernel or Google Services ? ?

Hello everyone um using OMEGA V14 with PERSUS kernel ALPHA9...um having a battery drain issue on my GT-i9500 ...i have calibrated my battery 2-3 times by discharging it completely to 0 and dn again to 100 widout break...And i have used WAKE LOCK DETECTOR (downloaded from playstore) to see which app or whatever that thing is causing a huge battery drain issue.I have uploaded 2 screenshots One is of CPU and other is of KERNEL...Now i wana know few things :
1. How to stop GOOGLE SERVICES from eating up my battery? i get hardly 3 or 3 n half hours of screen on timing and wid standby total of 12-13 hours...I have also disabled SYNC and location settings and GPS and using greenify too.
2.IN CPU WAKELOCKS>>>What is 1013?when i click on it for info it shows info as Audioout_2 and TYPE :SYSTEM(MEDIA).
3.IN KERNEL WAKELOCKS>> What is l2_hsic? This time it showed just 1 h and 7m...before it was 3-4 hours...
4.IN KERNEL WAKELOCKS>> What is umts_ipco ? It also showed less time as before it was same like l2_hsic.
5:IN KERNEL WAKELOCKS>> What is exynos5-fb.1 ? exynos is the process as far as i know :/ but what about fb ? FACEBOOK ?
These are the main issues which are draining my battery like hell..if anyone has knowledge about the above questions plz allow me to learn something from you thanks ...

Hey mate
I had the same issue as you.
Most likey google play updated to 4.3.11 or something like that.
You need the 4.1.10 I've got 4.3.10 and its back to normal.
The updated app turns on some sort of hidden location services and polls ever so often.
Go to settings then apps. Then find google play then click on uninstall updates. Restore previous update.
Hope that helps.

Google play services is the main big issue for the battery drained.
I have manage to stop Google play services after following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35755907&postcount=11160
my battery now can last between 2-3 and a half days with moderate usage.

I have the same issue and it started a few days ago with no changes in rom or kernel...if you search around you'll see other phones having the same problem... some say it's wireless location service some the play store version...for me nothing seems to work also considering play store automatically updates!

Google services using more battery than screen!

Can someone please tell me why Google services is using that much battery. Is it a wake lock or something? Anyone had a similar experience? How can I stop it from using this much data?
Thank you

same problem mate, when I turn off location services, use goes down, google needs to sort this, same problem on HTC one, there is some bug in google now, nexus 4 users were suffering the same, but google was prompt to close the bug, we all know all these other devices are treated like stepson:laugh::laugh:

Same here

I had the same problem i figured out thanks to better battery stats that the problem was partial wakelock called audioout_2. It just didnt let the phone to go sleep. I figured that real racing 3 caused this! if you play that game just close it (hold menu button and swipe it off) and now it isnt draining so much (i know it is called google services but strangely real racing did this just try it)
but if you are not playing this game it could be caused by other app just install better battery stats charge phone to 100% and let it be overnight and in the morning look to better battery stats what causes your wakelocks
proof that it is counted as google services in attachement and tomorow i can add stats from this night when i will just close real racing

+1... But it's not happening everyday to me, just sometimes... But with same usage...

I am witnessing this for approximately 3 months, very sad with this…

A reboot would fix this. I experience this after I use google maps which is very stupid.

Recently noticed the same, it is so ridiculous! So I went to Settings -More tab -Location Services -unmarked WiFi&mobile network location -Restarted and all is good!
Google MUST fix this!! :angry:

Plagued me when i got my S4, turning off Sync and GPS will prevent most if not all, but as people will point out...if you do that you lose Google Now and some other google syncing services.
This is what ive been doing at night or when im not using those apps...
Not the perfect scenario and google does need to fix this asap.

Nothing to be alarmed. Probably it is just location history being recorded.
Btw 4.3 does wifi location even with wifi off. Just making sure there is a real time location even after you selected to switch both gps and Wifi off.
/Sarcasm off
Forgot to add, you can turn location services and history off via settings (no need for root).

You disabled google maps?

If you are rooted you can try to use Greenify to "freeze" apps like google maps when your display is switched off.
It reduced my wakelocks to a minimum.

I had the same problem. In my case i found that the google contacts were syncing all the time. every minute.
The only way to stop draining the the baterry was to stop the sync. i activate ir ones a week to keep by contacts in gmail.
The problem was solved after Samsung deliver a new version.

+1

Guys i already told you that it is caused because of some app but it is shown as google services which isnt true!
Look at first attached file this is like 28% after 10 and half hours on battery (i was sleeping) with wifi off but mobile data on and google contact sync, gmail, app data and chrome on and with google location services on (via networks, GPS was off ) and i didnt closed any apps with holding home button and swiping them off
Second attached file is same setting but i closed all apps and look it drained 11% after 18 hours 49mins (i was sleeping and in work and left my phone home because of this testing) which is great standby battery life (nearly 8 days 100% - 0 % ) and as you can see still it say that google services drained 89% of it but battery life is better than in first attachement
I investigated it and found out that Real racing 3 didnt let my phone to go to sleep and it was because of kernel wakelock AudioOut_8 and some other apps like skype can do the same so my advice is close apps before long standby it helps just try it and you can even figure out which one did it
PS: Sorry for my english its not my native language but i think you will get what i mean

Thanks for the thread @ChampMEon
I've had the same issues. But seems like 4.3 have improved on it!

copresGcore_EventLoop wakelock eating battery

Hello sinc the past few days I'm having this wakelock eating my battery. I tried to research what it is with very little success. I updated my rom to the latest slimkat and gapps with little success. Anybody had the same problem? Thank you

Same here
getting the same , keep awake solid 100% by this Google play services wake lock, any ideas on how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed my problem with copresGcore_eventloop
Ok, so awhile back I followed some tweaks to Google play services to save battery drain, see this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
Which worked rather well, but since the latest Google play services update went in I started getting the 'no deep sleep/keep awake' issue that BBS and GSAM showed as being caused by copresGcore_eventloop .
What I did was just reverse the tweaks in android tuner , and also removed my Google account and added it back and then rebooted. This has fixed my issue with copresGcore_eventloop .
I have not yet had time to see if reapplying the tweaks would start the issues again but likely will try that soon and will try to post back results.

After disabling some services I saw this wakelock today as well for the first time.
To fix the problem it was enough to re-enable
Code:
com.google.android.location.reporting.service.PreferenceService

Wow! Was it a magic?

It is a full list of Google services disabled on my system (Xperia Ray SJB8 CM10). Probably, some of them aren't disabled by me but by some software due to appropriate settings.
Obviously, I do not recommend in any way to do such hacks on other systems. It is just my weird brutal parascientific experience. Kekeke.

What app is everyone using to disable these services? Thanks

I saw copresGcore_Eventloop wakelock in BBS. I then saw under Settings > Battery represented as Google Play Services. I then experimented with Greenify, DisableServices and using Titanium Pro to freeze apps following the link provided in the first few posts of this thread. All were very interesting but caused notifications about problems with Google Play Services. I'm on 4.4.2 and stumbled across App Ops in System Settings. I tapped on Google Play Services and unchecked a bunch of elements I don't use and it now doesn't appear on the list in battery. I have two google accounts, one is only used to share Google Play Music with my wife. I unchecked all the boxes on that account. I think there is a bug relating to having two google accounts.
Disclosure: this is on a Verizon Galaxy Note II running 4.4.2 Alliance ROM 30
