Hey guys,
After updating my phone to NAE it sporadically looks for its gps coordinates even when I am not running any apps. When I click on App Info when its searching for the gps it is SystemUI. Also Google Plus is taking up the majority of my battery now.. 31%
Does anyone know why this is happening and if you guys have found a fix?
Thanks

You might check your gps settings. See what option is selected. I know you can use certain network settings. Some apps check for gps periodically. My guess with gplus is its checking for updates constantly. You might look at those settings.
Are you running stock nae?

Yes I am running stock NAE. I changed the locating method for google to "GPS Only" where as before it was "High Accuracy" I'll see if that does anything.
Thanks!

I have issues with Google maps navigation. It's stuck at the "looking for location".
I tried it on my 16GB and my wifes 8GB and got the same.
When I tried to navigate on Copilot it worked well so I don't think it's the GPS issue.
Anyone else has similar problem?
This may or may not help, I am just tossing it out as something for you to try. My google navigation app was doing the same thing. It turns out because I switched off location access (to see if that conserved power) it stopped google navigation from working properly. So check your location access settings and make sure you have them turned on.

GPS test locks onto a satellite with no problem.
Check Settings->Accounts->Google->Location Settings and make sure the "Let Google apps access your location" is ON.
Mine did the same thing, when I tried to re-plot the course whilst in a call.
It appears to only do it when in a call, too.
A reboot resolves the problem. Slightly annoying.

You didn't force the 4.2.1 update with the Google Services Framework trick by any chance did you?

Lol. Thought so! It clears that setting.
It took some Ninja Googling to find out what was going on. Don't know why all the Location settings aren't located in the one place, it would make life a bit easier.

I also had the same problem and forced the 4.2.1 update with the Google services framework trick, and this seems to have fixed the problem.
Thank you!

I couldn't find a solution anywhere that was causing the battery drain for "MediaServer". The two process were "AudioOut_2" and DirectTrack. I don't have viber installed. What are these processes in the "MediaServer" and what purpose do they serve?
UPDATE: I found out that the process using those services is called "1013". How do i figure out what application is it?

To reduce or eliminate the audio out, turn off all key tones and vibration. Don't know what direct track is.

Settings > Sound
Uncheck "Touch sounds"
Uncheck "Screen lock sound"
monitor your battery performance. i believe 1013 is system sounds. someone correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks Christ for create this thread as I am about to post the same question.
It has happened in the last couple days. I wouldn't say 100% but surely 98% every time I turn the screen on, there is "searching for GPS" pops up.
It keeps running for from a few seconds to minute then turns back off.
Yes, I DID set to disable GPS.
Does anyway we can figure out which app is actually searching for GPS, gurus?
Facebook does for me and I don't know how to prevent that **** from doing so.

Just disable Location in FB/Messenger app.

How do you know it's the FB?
It used to search for gps whenever I received a Facebook notification. It might not be the same issues for you. What about the weather widget?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I don't set any notification ON and FB isn't running at all.
I suspect the G+ but don't know for sure.
Weather widget is not a culprit.
For me, it was Carrier IQ. Once I disabled that, my random GPS wakes stopped.

Sounds reasonable but I do have CIQ enable from day one w/o any issue.
It just happens in the last couple of days. Maybe 2014 isn't the year for me?
Maybe GSam Battery Monitor can help pinpoint which app is causing the GPS wakes. Or Wakelock Detector.
I also have been noticing the location icon popping up on my status bar every now and then. I cant find what app is triggering it. I dont see cIQ in my application manager to disable it...

Running Applications > Android System > IQ Agent Service. Hit stop there and then hit stop for Android System. You'll have to do that at each boot unless you're rooted. If you're rooted, you can use System Tuner.
Here's my shots.
This is probably directly related to the issue or NOT.
Clearly, Location Manager Service goes crazy.
What it is is yet to figure out.
At one point, I saw Google Messaging Service kicked on so I turned off Hangouts SMS feature and along with a reboot, my battery is now better but the "searching for GPS " still pops up.
Is location services turned off also in Google Settings and Maps?

Absolutely YES
Those photos... completely baffling. Wow. My guess would be all the recommendations above and going through all apps requiring location and disabling it.
Could try Greenify. I use it. It hibernates apps so they won't run until you tell them to

For battery drain there are few known culprits
1. Disable chrome
2. Disable Gear vr service if you don't use.
3. Disable all other bloatware
4. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning
5. Disable Android and Google (both) report diagnostic report from setting
6. Location to battery saving or off.
7. Smart features off.
I'm sure excess drain will go irrespective of what wld shows.

Have the chrome that came pre-loaded disabled but I use chrome dev. Disabled gear vr. I kept other bloat enabled that's under the hood, heard if you disable some of that stuff it could cause a bigger drain. Diagnostic report is off, location is on battery saving, I use smart stay and smart alert, have smart capture off.

Yes only disable stuff that you can from app drawer.
Is Google location reporting on or off that is also a big drainer.

Yes. I know it's pain in the ass to set everything up again but it is a major change, from one iteration to another of the system and common sense screams factory reset .
