I noticed something strange the past few day. The location settings on on my 6P change to "Battery Saving" every time the screen is off. When I turn it back on and change it to high accuracy, it automatically reverts back to battery saving after I turn off the screen.
It used to work fine because Runkeeper and Runtastic used to track perfectly with screen off, but now as soon as I turn off the screen the gps location is lost. Any idea?
Running latest May update, with Xposed and gravity Box.

I have correctly configured my backlight auto turn off box and not ticked to go off when on battery power, yet it utrns off after 5 minutes. This did not happen before and is annoying when using TomTOM GPS etc. Anyone else have this issue?
I use PocketZenPhone and have created a profile for use with TomTom. No problem with the backlight at all.
I'm using a program for GPS tracking that records the current placement of the phone. I found out, that the GPS receiver is not working when the phone goes into standby mode (screen shuts off, usually after 30 seconds). During that time the program doesn't record the coordinates and only resumes after I wake the phone up.
The only solution is to set the timeout off, but the battery consumption increases too much. Is there a way to keep the GPS receiver running but still be able to lock the phone/shut down the screen?
Not a solution of your problem but still might be interesting for you...
I use GPS Cycle Computer for logging my track. It is working even in standby and has a great feature which is an option to select GPS run interval (no need to log every second) to reduce battery ussage.
Thanks, that's a very useful app.
Hi All,
I have been having trouble with the phone.
The screen has been turning on by itself and not turning off. The screen will not turn off until i hit the power button. It will not turn off until the phone is out of battery.
Is anyone else having this problem?
thanks!
Want to bump this up ... having the same issue. I've uninstalled nearly every app (at least the ones I'd think would be problematic) and it's still happening. I've downloaded Spare Parts today to see if I could figure it out but I don't have enough data yet.
Anyone else have this issue? Even when I press the lock button, I sometimes need to press it multiple times to get the screen to turn off.
I too am having this problem and boy does it suck battery lol

Do you guys have power saving mode enabled or disabled? Just curious, since that's one of the only things (in addition to message notifications) that affects the screen.
can it have anything to do with automatic updates?
i never had this issue. before or after root. i just rooted two days ago
I had this problem before and after root. I also did a factory reset and I thought it was fixed ... but now it's doing it again.
Happens w/ Power Saving mode enabled and disabled.
I've figured out a semi-solution to this which seems to be working:
With Advanced Task Killer:
Enable Auto Kill Frequencey "When screen off"
Set Auto Kill Level to "Aggressive"
Set Security Level to "Medium"
Don't forget to put any apps you don't want killed in the ignore list (like WidgetLocker, your music player, etc.)
This seems to keep the screen locked for me ... but I still can't figure out what app/process is the culprit in waking the screen when it goes to sleep.
Is there a setting (or standalone app), that will turn off wifi after a set amount of time after the screen goes off? I know the stock system had much worse battery life if wifi was kept on, and I'm assuming the same with CM7?
Yes I know I can just turn it off manually, but I'd rather it just turn itself off after say five minutes of me pressing the power button or it turning the screen off itself, then restart wifi when I turn it back on.
Thanks
The app Wifi Keep Alive can keep it on, or turn off when screen turns off unless plugged in. But it doesn't have a timer feature.
You don't need an app to turn off wifi when the screen is off with CM7. Just go into menu/ settings/ wireless & network/ wifi settings/ press menu/ advanced/ and then change the wifi sleep policy to whichever setting you'd like.
On the stock rom wifi will turn off when the screen turns off. I think it is actually annoying.
I noticed that when my phone was sitting still the screen would randomly turn on, not just to the ambident display screen but to the lockscreen. I realized it was happening anytime the phone lost its data connection and had to reconnect. I can replicate it by turning airplane mode on then off and immediately turning the screen off with the power button. After about 5 seconds, the screen turns on again on its own. I've tried disabling ambient display, daydream, tasker, and bluetooth, but it still happens. I have unlocked the bootloader and changed the dpi but everything else is stock, no root. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having a similar problem. Did you ever find a fix MaxPower99?
