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?

The gps is working again, without any intervension
Hi,
Recently I noticed that GPS is not working anymore on my mobile, when trying to show my location on Google Maps for example I get "your current location is temporarily unavailable"
The gps is not working anywhere else, whether I change the location or not, and for all the apps too not only Google Maps.
Before I have the Firmware 1.5 and things worked very well for me, and few days ago I updated to 1.6 but I didn't check for the GPS till now, so I guess it might be the reason.
note: when I use "Use wireless networks" to determine location I get the location normally, Also the phone got detected by Windows 7 64bits just 2 days ago, so I suppose something changed since I was trying to get it work for 2 months now.
Do anyone have an idea how to fix this, thank you.

GPS drains the battery quickly. This is common among all smartphones. Disable it unless you're ready to use it, or stay near a charger.

i disabled it but gps was still on. i had to force close maps and after that gps stopped.
thanks for replies.
If you don't or use it without a lot of frequency maps, freeze it with Titanium Backup and defrost whenever you want to use..
I use Llama on my Defy+ (Kayant's Slim Bean 3.1.0 ROM) to monitor my wifi for a minute every X minutes (it's more complex than that, but this explanation will do). However, it appears that the wifi check times out after the phone goes to deep-sleep.
Reading around I found Deep Sleep Battery Saver's thread, which seems to imply that wifi will not work when the phone is in deep-sleep.
I do not want to use Deep Sleep Battery Saver as its behaviour is not as flexible as the scripts I have in Llama. Thus, I'd like to be able to turn on/off deep-sleep from within Llama (either by calling an application that does it, or invoking an Android Intention that does).
Anybody knows if what I want to do is possible, or will it require a change to llama itself?
EDIT: Thanks! I know how to fix it now I am trying a different Wi-Fi Keep Alive app, though, we'll see how that goes.

There is an option in WiFi-Advance- Keep WiFi on during sleep: Set that to always

I use my phone in the car for navigation, music, etc. However, not every trip requires me to have the phone display on. If I'm running into town, I don't need navigation of course.
However, I also like the Always On Display, but in the car the phone is in landscape orientation, and Samsung couldn't be bothered to make the AOD orient itself in anything but portrait mode, as I'm sure everyone is aware of.
What I'm wanting, and asking, is there a way using Tasker, Automate, Automateit, etc. to toggle the Always On Display off when my car dock app launches, and then turn it back on again when the car dock app closes?
I tried using all three of those with no luck, I just don't understand some of the complex "languages" they use to describe processes and such. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
Same question.
Any ideas?
In Tasker, use any method that allows you to set "aod_mode" system variable
I'm currently using the (old and unsupported but still working for some of its features) Secure Setting Tasker plugin
Here's the setup to set AOD Mode to "on":

Hello, I`ve had this head unit for a couple of years now, it reports it`s on Android 6.1 I believe.
I only have one problem with it, the GPS sometimes takes 10 minutes or more to lock on, sometimes less than a minute?, all the wiring is ok and once its locked in it will be fine (300 mile trips etc).
I think this has been a recent ish issue, can`t remember it doing it last year.
I have read quite a few threads, one mentions removing Google Play Services?, would this apply to mine even though it eventually finds the GPS location and then has no further trouble?. To be honest I do use the Play Store occasionally so would like to keep it if possible.
It takes 30 seconds to boot so presume it is doing a full cold boot every time, is there a program that will remember the last state of GPS to make it quicker to lock on or does it do this automatically anyway?.
We use Co-Pilot Sat Nav at the moment , but it doesn`t seem to matter which app.
Ideally I would like to keep it as a standalone unit, it connects to home WiFi but we don`t have WiFi on the move normally.
Any help appreciated.
