Maps consuming my battery

My maps are consuming battery of my phone. Even if I don't use it.
Why this is so? Around 15% of battery consumption is due to maps
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

root your device and use a program like autostarts from the market to freeze apps you dont want to start at boot , it simple and easy to do and youd be suprised at what starts up at boot in your app list .
i would then use titanium backup to freeze apps you dont use/need as this helps battery / ram / device from waking through apps telling it to etc etc
dont freeze maps obvously as you may need that and its important to have but defo stop it from starting at boot , unless you need it at boot but from your post you obvously dont
there is a list of stuff thats save to freeze on this forum the search bar is your friend
have a good day

Thanks but I don't wanna root my phone. Is there any other alternative?

well even before i had rooted and stopped it at start , maps was never that high on my charts have you run latitude or anything? i heard this can drain battery in the background .
sounds like you have an app that is using maps in the back ground as on a normal set up (factory fresh etc) maps doesnt hammer the battery like that
it can probs be fixed by undoing an app or setting you have somewhere but its hard to say as its your phone and you know what youve done to it .
if it was factory fresh though i doubt/kinda know maps wouldnt be that high and draining battery though it never has on mine even when stock etc
hope you find the culprit soon but its hard to say what it could be as we dont know how you have it set up etc .
maybe try a fresh install??

I'm sure you are using Latitude. Log off and problem will be solved.

Yes, almost certainly Latitude - log out and stay out, you'll be amazed at the difference.

I second these. I've logged off of latitude and the battery life has extended by at least 60 - 70%. I used to get like around less than a day of usage, but now it goes a little over a day and a half with moderate usage. (Bluetooth, GPS, Browsing on HSPA and WiFi)

Also if you have remote tracking turned on, this can show up as maps in the battery monitor.

Yeah, my latitude was on.i logged it off.
Thanks every one for ur replies. Thanks a lot

You may have to reset maps in app settings to really get rid off it.
Clear data once I suggest, then the 1 minute wake calls will also be off, my experience.

why not it's highly recommended to root your phone, you can then freeze maps in titanium backup (and any other apps too)

not having the phone rooted is like having a computer without knowing the admin/root password

But there are some drawbacks of it also.
And if anything happens to my phone I will not be able to claim warrantee

I always see Maps very high in my battery usage, I was logged into Latitude. Logged out of that now.
Do you have remote controls enabled in Settings -> Location and Security? Wondering if this still means Maps will use a lot of battery.

Wakelocks and 60 Hours of Battery Life

I know that there are several threads about battery life in the General forum, but I decided to create a new one, cause I want this thread to take a different direction, and actually help the owners, which are having problems with kernel wakelocks as me.
So... here it goes. I decided to make a test by using my phone mainly as a PHONE ! From the screenshots you will be able top see exactly what I did with the phone for the last 60 hours. Just to mention that my phone ISN`T ROOTED. Wifi sleep policy set to ALWAYS ; auto brightness ; power saver on except 30 minutes when I wanted a brighter display at direct sunlight ; Auto Sync on BUT - almost everything set to sync off or manual, except weather, gmail (mail and contacts) and one more mail sync using the mail app. Used some internet, made some photos, listened to some music, checked mail after notifications, refreshed blinkfeed couple of times just to go through the smartphone headlines, checked battery usage and software update like 100 times lol - and there are the 2+h of screen on. I don`t use facebook, twitter etc.
And now comes the most important part and the reason I started this thread in the first place. I got like 4 hours of held awake time. In the screenshots provided you can see where these hours exactly came from. I`m absolutely sure that HTC One can manage to achieve like 3 full days of normal phone usage if it wasn`t for those sick wakelocks I`m getting (and I`m sure most of you are getting too). I know all of you have read that "7 hours screen on time" and saw the screens from some guys with 7+ hours screen on. If you pay close attention you will see that their devices worked for more than 10 hours and they got less than 10 minutes of Held Awake time. What I`m trying to figure out is how they achieved such thing.
One more thing I would like to point out if someone decides that 4 hours of held awake time are something normal for a 60h usage. Keep in mind that phone lost 1% per hour while I was asleep, which I don`t think is something normal, cause I read alot that people are loosing like 3-4% for 10 hours during the night (someone even mentioned 1%).
So basically please use this thread to discuss any wakelocks (mainly kernel related) you have and ways to get rid of them. There are alot of threads going on in xda about almost every single wakelock I`m experiencing, but I think the info is different for every phone out there. I tried almost every suggestion, but without any good result.
Here are some screenshots from Gsam Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats, and Battery in Setting.If you like to see a detailed info please use the dropbox link. I won`t discuss every single screenshot I made, but just want to point out two interesting things I noticed. Although facebook app is TOTALLY disabled in my phone, I still have it as a working process that is causing wakelock as you can see in screenshot 13 in dropbox folder. And also I have turned every single option in Maps to off, except first option (Google`s location service) in Settings>Location.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k7reupon5dcy42p/a4VNWyJLGJ
P.S. I`ve heard that with 4.2.2 some things are fixed, or at least not causing so many wakelocks, but we`ll have to wait and see.

Haven`t got any problems with play store tbh, but maps is a huge pain in the a**, as you can see in the shots provided. As I said... turned almost everything off and still can`t disable the wakelocks it is causing (as even I haven`t done anything)

man thats great.
I have seen that this phone gets good battery. Maybe it will be close to the old green screen and non smart phone battery life lol.

disable auto sync on those apps you greenified ...thats all greenify does , (when u put it in deep sleep u cant sync or disable sync on thos apps, apps are auto killed and put to deep sleep) there will be no need to even install it then. there is nothing magical happening. just a another way to fool users.

I've been trying to nail down the maps wakelock which appears to be NetworklocationLocator. It's been driving me mad! I disabled everything in maps but no better. Then I found another setting and I've had a huge improvement since.
Try this:
Settings > Accounts and Sync > Google > Location Settings > Location Access. Now turn off Google's location Service.
This will give you loads more battery and use less data. The downside? The weather location doesn't show current location. I just fix the weather manually to my home town. That's all I need. If I'm passing through Slough on the train I don't need the weather forecast for it! Also in maps it doesn't give you an approx fix, instead just turn on GPS like you would anyway and get the fix.

i really don't see much,if anything, wrong here. You have 5 hours and 50 minutes of awake time, less 2 hours and 10 minutes where the screen was on and another 1 hour and 5 minutes that the phone was active. So in reality you only have about 2.5 hours of time out of 60 where the phone could have been in deep sleep but wasn't.
Out of that 2.5 hours, 1 hour was google talk/hangouts, which you can simply sign out of, and 20 minutes is htc weather updates. That's leaving you with just over an hour out of 60, or about 1.5%, which is excellent.
You could probably do even a bit better by greenifying facebook and maps.
The kernel wakelocks are normal, the phone needs to spend some time keeping the OS running and communicating with the cell towers, i bet everyone will see similar msm_hsic_host usage as long as they have the cell radio running.

I keep mine logged into Google Now; I have the widget on my desktop. I have not seen any battery impact.

To OP:
I see that you are having 2 days of No Data Connection in BatteryStats, as shown below. Is it because you are connected to Wifi all the while instead of connected to the 3G mobile network? And your wifi has been turned on for more than a day. Basically, is 3G that kills battery. Perhaps you can try not to be connected to Wifi and see if the phone can last more than a day?
Thanks!

Every Android user should try Greenify:

It's an amazing app! With great smoothness and battery life.:good:

u can go to settings ' apps , all disable google maps . u will then see google maps not running in the backgrounfd
use a 3rd paty app for navigation if u need it

Android System using too much battery

Hi,guys!
I can't figure out why the Android System is using more battery than others. I feel like it is awful.2 hours and17 minutes of off the charger time and I'm at 86% with wifi-on and leave my phone on airplane . I have been spending most of my time trying to find ways to save battery and it is barely working, or at best working inconsistently. I might need to try a replacement. What do you guys think?
Does anybody knows how to fix it? I'm out of ideas.

I had the same problem on my moto x. I had to uninstall all the updates to anything google related.

It is your Google account. Probably Google + or photos since you have WiFi enanled.

its the same with my s5, after all day when i check my battery stats android system uses the most battery. i'm trying all things to sort it out

Yes, sync troubles… I think that too…

I don't have it quite as bad but removing carrier IQ has helped a bit, Go get system tuner and go into app mgr and find android system press details then open and go through activities, receivers and services and make sure everything you see that says IQAgent gets unchecked. This will help you stay out of ServiceIQ's eyes and also help your battery as your entire phone is debugged through those apps.(Another words I can't find the darn post that I used to help me)
Even with my friends verizon s5 lasting 9 days on a battery >.> He gets around 15 percent android system usage

I have prepared a short guide to do that if it would help you... Here is the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799642

How exactly is this bad? The guy has close to 30 minutes for 10% of battery life, so proportionally close to 5 hours total screen on time for a full charge and this is supposed to be abnormal? Screen on time is purely on what you should base yourself first because you have no idea on what the phone reports as "Android system". As far as I know, if you had 5 minutes of screen on time instead of 30, that would be a problem worth investigating....but 30 minutes for 10%? You should not try to find issue where there are none.
Let me show you why you can't rely on phone stats. Here is my screenshot for today. Just from looking at it, you can already see i have some kind of huge wakelock problem, severe battery drain, especially if you consider I only have about 1h15 minutes of screen on time. Anybody looking at this could see that there is a problem with my phone. The fact is, there isn't. I had a 4h16 hour conversation today, but, my phone only reports voice calls taking up 12% of my battery life. Thats because other features are not included in the voice calls tab, like how the sensors have to always check if i'm close or not to the screen to turn it on or off, or the fact that it has to manage my wifi connection while using my mobile connection that is about 1 bar in my room. There are too many unknown factors to solely rely on what you see here, or on OPs screenshot. If you have 30 mins of screen time, and have 10% battery drain, thats fantastic. Don't forget, only 1 gen ago, having 3 hours of screen time with a full charge was awesome.

Now, I am doing what I read from a guide. I just plug it in every night and only use Ultra Power Saving in the day.From the guide,I would have full internet, phone and message capabilities with maximum battery life each day.Then I can leave off UPS on weekends and holidays to enjoy all the other apps.

[Q] Battery issues/questions

So, I've been having some battery issues lately and I can't really tell why. I haven't been doing anything too extreme, but my battery is almost dead within 12 hours of a charge, and the highest usage is mostly the Kernel and/or OS. I know next to nothing about that side of things, so I exported reports from GSam, and I'm hoping someone will be able to translate them for me if there's an obvious problem. Thanks in advance!
(I've also uninstalled Boxer, I only had it because Pro was free yesterday.)

Keep the location enabled.
Are you using any of the smart stay/air view etc. controls?
If not turn them ALL off.

As far as I know, location is always turned on (meaning I never turn it off myself). One of the first things I did was turn off all the smart crap, and turn off every piece of bloatware I could in the settings (I'm not rooted).

When was the last time that your phone was restarted?

Did you install any apps recently?
How old is the phone?
Also do you have data/wifi on all the time?

That's not good. :-/
I install apps often, but I just as often uninstall them...I guess that's not much help. If it was one of them though, wouldn't it show up under the battery log?
It's approaching a year old, I got it last November I believe.
Yes, I keep my Wifi and data on all the time.

Bad network will drain your battery. Check how the signal is.

Android OS and Kernel are normal between 12-25% on 4.4.2. It's an issue with the battery reporting.
It looks like you've got a wakelock. 12% per hour means it's not going into deep sleep.
Check Wakelock Detector to see if it's going into deep sleep or not. (It needs root for everything else, but that still works.)

Stated in reply post that the phone is not rooted.
My advice will be to uninstall apps one at time to find the one causing the drain.

And neither is mine. Wakelock detector still works in the tab that shows Deep Sleep vs Awake. As I said by 'Everything else requires root, but that still works'.

That varies. At home, I have great signal (full-signal 4G, router is never more than 20 feet away). Some places in town, I can drop to 3G, especially my grandparents (although my grandma does have a router I'm connected to). There's a weird (unrelated?) bug where if I drop to 3G, I either have to turn airplane mode on or wait several hours until it reverts back to 4G, even though I'll be back in a verified 4G area.

I will definitely check that out and use it tonight. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get back to you on what it says. What generally causes the wakelocks, specific apps? Or just poorly set-up preferences?

That does seem to be the case... Either uninstall paypal or drop it in the Greenify list.
Google Search is probably either the widget or you're using Google Now.

I don't think they're related, but I can't be a hundred percent sure. You can try disabling both Google Search ones under apps -> all, see what that does to the info updates. If it scrambles them, just turn them back on.
(There's two Google Search, one is the search bar, the other is the app related to it.)
With that and Paypal dealt with, battery life should improve significantly.

When I fast started using it, the battery backup was quite good...I could go on using it without charging for more than a day...but nowadays, the juice gets drained a lot faster.. I have disabled gestures...disabled unwanted apps...I use the dark theme... And WiFi Bluetooth is turned off almost all the time....if it is 60% now...and I just lock it and come again after a minute to check the phone...it will be 55% already...I have a dumped in a lot already...I've used 35 gb storage...have a lot of apps also...but even when it's running in battery saver mode...the battery status reduces real fast...please help...thanks in advance... If there's another thread for this already ...please redirect me there! Thanks

Which os version are you using?
I've got a solution recently and I've tried it and now my battery drain is normal I've got 5 hours SOT now.
Just shut down your device and boot it by pressing the volume down +power button it will take you to the menu from there you have to select language to English then clear the cache and then reboot your device.
That's it. This solution is from the official oneplus support team.
And I can tell you is working shower fine on my device.
Cheers

Even im facing this issue previously i didn't have that much drain. I have flashed 2.1.2 3 days back. Can i clear my cache through TWRP?

Use Amplify+ Powernap+ AppoppXposed. Works like a charm.

i believe it's the google services & location services that kill your battery
pretty common in an un-optimized ROM with stock google play services installed
so, i Second this, Amplify, Powernap & AppOpsXposed do wonder
but also add Greenify to it, paid version offocurse so you can use full xPosed features
6 Hrs ++ SOT and still 15% left... can't ask for more since i would already fall asleep before the phone battery fully depleted, ahahaha

Thanks for the all the suggestions everyone! I'll root my device soon and get to these stuff!

A simple factory reset also does the trick sometimes.
