Is there a way to disable Carrier IQ? It's annihilating my idle battery.

I keep my GPS off to help my battery life, but every once in a while the GPS turns itself on randomly and tries to get a lock. It's an issue because while I'm inside it really struggles to get a lock and eats battery like a mofo. I got to work with 97% battery and an hour and a half later I now have 85%.
What can I do to stop this from happening short of waiting for cyanogenmod?

Install System Tuner, free from market (lots of annoying ads, no big deal).
Click the red System Android, click Android System, Details, then uncheck all 7 CarrierIQ related processes.
Worked OK for me and no FC issues with calls or anything.

Battery Drain issue and Resolution

Long story short, my gps just kept coming on by itself even after turning it off multiple times. Even after rooting, installing twrp and flashing Clean Rom 1.1 (THANKS SCOTT) it was still there. Looks like it was the carrier IQ causing the issue. I've done these three steps and haven't seen it since. Step 1: Settings>Location access> check 'Wi-Fi & Mobile network location' then uncheck 'GPS Satellite'. Step 2: On your device go to Settings>apps>runnings>Android System> IQServices> Stop. Step 3: Download 'Disable Services' app, open the app and go to android system the uncheck IQServices. That should solve the problem, also I use Wakelock and Greenify. Wakelock allows me to see what apps run while my phone is suppose to be idle and Greenify lets me put apps in hibernation so they wont do anything or process anything unless I actually open the app. I have an ATT G2 by the way..

Do you have any issues with knock on with greenify?

There was someone talking about how greenify broke knock on, but it ended up he just had a craptastic screen protector out on it. After he took it off it was fine.

Battery percentage like Samsung phone

Is there a way to make battery percentage appear in the left of battery icon?
Thanks

You can download an app from the play store or, if you are rooted, you could install a battery mod.

Use Xposed framework if you're rooted.. Many modules offer that!

Thanks for the information!

What else do you want? The battery is that much low and according to the preset in rom, the phone shuts down. Nothing wrong there.

Im thinking that why its not going to 1%

Just plug your phone when you get the 15% warning its whats recommended. Motorola made the phone shutdown at 2% so you dont fully drain the battery. 1% would probably be playing with fire.

Thanks for the advice . Will do it

May update APD2

I just took this update and when I go to my battery status it shows my on screen time at the top of the list and Android system is now 3rd below stand by time. I hope this will mean better battery life for the future.
