Weather app Drain - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The weather app seems to be consuming a lot of battery even though i dont have it on. Does anybody know what is going on?

It uses location services, so maybe that has something to do with it. Can you get a GPS lock? Do you have google services location set?
Worst case you can disable it.

Root the phone and put misbehaving apps to sleep with Greenify.

Have you ever setup the weather app? Maybe if you set it up and allow it to obtain a fix it'll behave itself.

Maps keeping WiFi on

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.

GPS disabled?

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.

Which location setting is needed for the weather widget?

As the title says, which location setting needs to be turned on for the stock weather to work correctly and update when you go to a different location? As of now it says "current location service temporarily unavailable" when I refresh the widget.
I was having battery life problems, so I turned off every location based setting on the phone, but I want to at least turn the single one on that makes this widget work.
Thanks!

Sorry to keep bumping, but does anyone know which location setting to turn on to accomplish this?

Pretty sure it needs the one main settings under location.

[ISSUE] Battery drain com.google.process.location

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

Can anyone take a pic of wakelock on phone please for me to compare

I was wondering if anyone with wakelock detector can take a pic of "phone". I'm seeing a high number in RILJ, but can't remember if this is normal or not. From doing searches it says that it's Google maps related but I have all location services disabled. Not rooted if that matters. Thanks

Dude, 1 minute of wakelock for 15 hours of uptime is not an issue.

Yeah I get that sort of, but I can't remember it doing that many of them, that's seems like a crazy high number. I just don't know if I installed something that may have affected it

Well once again I feel like too much wakelock, but I need something to compare too. Can someone please post. Thanks

One of two things, turn it off If you don't use it, and if you do maybe try a force stop.

This app doesn't help me at all unfortunately. My issue is my phone won't sleep..in 11 hours it was awake almost 6. No clue why because better battery stats and WLD tells me nothing other than it was awake.
Anyone else experience this

Can you post a picture? Maybe you have location services on. An amazing app I use is "app ops starter". Allows you to modify permissions of apps. Don't like that a app can use your camera? Disable it. Also you can see when your apps access them. I hope this helps you out!
