Drain Battery: GPS kernel wakelock

Hello, thanks to "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809), I've seen that after using the GPS with Google Maps (after using it I turned off the GPS), the phone does'nt enter into deep sleep, remains awake, drying the battery.
BBS shows that the process "GPS" (under "Kernel Awake") never ends, and the only way to end it is to restart the terminal. The drying is especially evident in the night (one night in my deep sleep or battery dropped to 1%, but with the process "GPS kernel awake" the battery loses 25-30%)
I'dont know if this is a problem of some ROMs, Kernels, Google Maps, etc. because I read that also happens in other devices (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419087; http://forum.xda -developers.com/showthread.php? t = 1442368)
I'm using: MiniCM7-2.1.6, Kernel 2.6.29.6-nAa-08, (thanks to @nobodyAtall for this great ROM-kernel), Undervolt, SmartassV2 and min CPU to 19Mhz.
I can add:
1) the problem no depends on the program, simply turn on the GPS on the Widget energy of the status bar and after turn it off, and the "GPS process" start and never ends, draining the battery.
It also happens with other programs besides Google Maps: AlpineQuest, GPS Status
2) If you turn off GPS you must restart the device to no leave running "GPS process"
Another solution is to restart the device with the GPS on and not turn off ever. With this the "GPS process" does'nt stuck and the battery will not dry. You can use Google Maps (or other application), the GPS works well and when you come out of the application does'nt happen that the "GPS process" keep the device awake drying the battery. Also, my experience is that leaving the GPS always on does'nt waste a lot of battery, if you are'nt using an application that uses it.
Under investigation
will try to find solution about this problem
thanks
Same here, im using nAa minicm7 2.17 + 09 kernel, after turn off the gps, with airplane mode my batery drain 2-3% por hour.
Restart the phone solved it.

are you guys using facebook app?
by freezing it in titanium backup, it looks like can cure the problem. GPS wake time not increasing...
Hello, I'm on the Galaxy Note and I found that I'm having the same issue. I saw the remarks about Facebook. I just completely uninstalled it. Let's see if that helps! I'll post back .
yes fb app is comsume many battery
Interesting research, gonna try your suggestions on my X8.
OT: try Fast Facebook rather than FB main app
I can confirm that this happens on my X8 also. The rebooting with GPS turned on option is no good for me because most apps try to use GPS for whatever reason.
There seems to be more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128135
So, any news on this? I'm on MiniCM and this wakelock thing still happens.

[Q] Android lost drains battery and keeps GPS on

Hi guys,
I started to use android lost, it has some cool features, the problem is it drains my battery like crazy.
Its the main cause for my battery decreasing and the GPS is always on but for some reason there is no indication of it in the notification bar - there the GPS is off.
I tried to remove location access for the application but the GPS remain turned on.
Thanks in advance.
I had this issue too, the gps bug, haven't had it since 4.2.2, when I disabled gps, android would report it running, you have to reboot, the indicator and setting was switched to off, maybe turning it on/off several times?, I will try if it comes back

LGE Gravity Sensor Battery Drain - Any fix?

Hey all,
I've done some searching around and haven't been able to find a solution for this. The LGE Gravity Sensor (which is related to Knock On) has been causing my Android OS to stay awake and cause battery drain. I attempted to Greenify doubletab and Knock On still worked, but it didn't fix the battery drain. I turned off Knock On and it went away immediately so I know that is the problem.
Has anyone found a way or know a way to keep this from draining battery but still keep Knock On functionality?
If I compare battery between having Knock On active or disabled, it's not doing that much to the battery. But in the battery stats it looks much different as with Knock On disabled, your display will take the top spot and not Android OS anymore.

Battery drain.. Phone always on

Hi.
Running stock Marshmallow, with root and used wakelock detector and battery monitor to find that when not in airplane mode, three kernel wake locks (see screen shots) as far as I can tell, seem to be causing my phone to stay awake all the time and hence use battery.
I also use Greenify BTW.
How do I remedy this?
Thanks

I had the same issue. I found out that it was because I had blocked a Bluetooth wake service and it freaked the phone out keeping it awake. I would suggest enabling each service you disabled one by one going through them to find out which one is causing your issue. Or you can uninstall greenify and any other apps that disable services like amplify and servicely. I found that my battery life had gotten better after doing so.

Significant motion sesor causing tons of wake time/battery drain

Hello,
A month ago my SM-G900T on the Mokee Nougat rom was doing great then just started draining the battery a lot while not in use. I'd lose about 10% of battery in 12 hours with the screen off, wifi on, and no movement at all. Then it started draining ~50% in the same time, also no movement or use. I didn't add or remove any apps or change any settings. The app Better Battery Stats blames wakelocks caused by the significant motion sensor. I wiped it which didn't help and tried other Nougat roms that previously did great with battery usage without installing anything but Open GApps micro and still I get tons of wake time with the significant motion sensor being blamed. Greenify with hibernate, Aggressive Doze and Doze on the Go all make no noticable difference. There are a number of sensor test apps and all of mine appear to be working fine.
Any ideas?
I am having the exact same issue with samsung significant sensor motion.. But i havent changed roms yet to test in other roms. I am getting sometimes 10% drop in one hour without ever touching the phone. And all status seem to blame this motion sensor. Have you found some solution or explanation on this?
did anyone find a solution to this? i started having problems with it on s10+ exynos A11
