Is there an app I can use to see what apps are accessing Gps ony phone? I swear every 5 minutes Gps is activating and trying to locate me! I think it's really hurting my battery life.

Wipe cache nd dalvik and fix permissions, as of gingerbread programs cant effect GPS directly.
So its ur config, sorry to have to break it to ye..
Also, side note, if no GPS required apps are running, ur GPS doesnt actually try to triangulate unless requested.. so..
Basicly it would be using ur battery if on, but no connections would really be made unless u see the triangulating icon by clock..
That's the icon that I always see. It blinks a few times then stops. Sometimes it stays solid for a a few seconds before it turns off. could it be Google latitude causing it?

Quite possibly actually. Try clearin data for it and maps then booting TO CWM and clearing cache and rebooting
Did as you described. Problem still there. I can't understand. It's even blinking while I type this!

OK I discovered the culprit. Skyvi was trying to Gps my location at all times. I guess their new beacon feature is not really optimized yet.

Have you checked partial wake usage from Spare Parts?

Ah it says beautiful Widgets which I suspected. But how do I fix that cause I want to use beautiful widgets

Check the settings in Beautiful Widgets. I believe there's a setting that turns the phone on to check for weather updates. You should be able to turn that off.
I'm not using it right now so I'll redownload it from the market and check.

Hmm, couldn't find that option. It's probably waking the phone when it refreshes the weather. What's your refresh interval? I'd set it to something longer or just refresh manually. If you're using geolocation then that could be a problem too.

It was a hour thought I had it on 4 hours so put it on that and geolocation Is on I also just deleted the animation pack for when u turn the phone on. Even if the refresh was a hour it keeps it the phone up 100% every second. I always get a notification for geolocation how it can't locate maybe that's constantly trying to locate

Seems like geolocation is the culprit. If you're usually in one city, just input that city instead of using geolocation, it'll save battery too.
If all else fails, you can try the app "Permissions Denied". Disable the permission in BW that lets it keep the phone from sleeping. The first time I used the app, I lost my settings after rebooting to make them take effect. After setting it back up and rebooting again, everything has worked fine since.

Deffiantly was beautiful Widgets w.e I did to it it is now fixed. Turned of geolocation deleted animation pack so one of those were the culprits and either way animation pack was annoying

I have a brand-new stock HTC battery although I have never let it completely discharge from when I got it replaced. I've been using Battery Monitor Widget's Calibration setting to calibrate the battery. Still getting bad battery life and awake time is almost equivalent with uptime...with the screen off. Running MIKG2.59 with ChopSuey9.2.7. Any Ideas?
Well u could do is try a different kernel and see if that works. Also I see that to me your times are fine. Just don't constantly keep ur screen on and youll see that after a while, times between the two would be much different. Try and see if those options work for you. If none of those work, there is a posting about this issue. Just click in the search box and it will come up. Hope that helps.

Thats the thing about it is the screen was off. I drained it to 0% and it is back to full charge and calibrated again. I still get the awake and uptime as being the same. I would expect the awake time to stop incrementing once the screen turns off and the phone is idle. I'll flash a different kernel and see if that does the trick. Does anyone know where to get the poonsense kernel? it won't download in kernel manager pro.

I did have it on my phone. But I don't think I have it anymore. But let me double check and see if I can upload it once I find it. I know I seen the the kernel in another forum in the Evolvedroms section. Check in there unless someone can upload it for ya before me.

There's no wake lock there. Just charge your phone all the way, calibrate battery, let it die, then charge all the way again. Your stats look normal to me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If nothing seems to work, try reflashing your kernel(wipe dalvik and cache before flashing) or reflash Rom. Wipe stats as usual.

is it working for you guys? for some reason mine is not shutting off data when screen is off
Not working for me either...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I am wondering if it is something with this phone. I am not using JD but rather Green Power (same as JD) and it seems to have an issue shutting off data as well. I ended up using Llama and setting a condition that whenever the screen goes off to kill data and vice versa. It has been working great.
Tried it for a day and noticed that my phone couldn't connect to data even when wifi was off other users also had the same issue so I've steered clear of it since besides while using it really didn't see much of a difference in battery life

It seems to still be working for me? It has always been working for me.. I have juicedefender ultimate don't know if that matters?
Its working for me! It always has..

i have gotten both results. some days it does work, some days it doesn't. when it chooses to work and when it doesn't occur at random times, and i'm not sure what i do that makes sure that it works as it should.
i wonder if this issue and other reports of settings being reset after a reboot are phone related or firmware related...
It worked today after I went to the status page and tweaked some things.

what did you do?
In the "about" tab there are different options, this is what I have; enable after unlock is highlighted, disable on wifi (data) (4G) are highlighted, all the rest are not highlighted. Of course I have the app itself enabled with aggressive highlighted. Notifications needs to be allowed... been working ok for 2 days now.

Has been working for me as well. Using ultimate, advanced settings, basically have it set to turn off data while screen is off, sync every 5 minutes, using location for WiFi for home and work. averaging 1.85x. Data does not turn on when lock screen is checked, only when phone is unlocked. At that point, I see the juice defender icon has a red dot to indicate no data connection. It then turns blue and cell data turns on momentarily while wifi connects. The pull down menu indicates "screen" as the trigger got starting data.
Rooted just the other day, flashed the stock minus bloatware ROM (tesh's streamlined version 1) yesterday, juice defender still working fine.
Its working fine for me.

This thing works well for me but
i'm not sure about the features that require root. Id be very curious to hear if anyone has got the 2g/3g/4g toggle to work as well as any of the other features that require root on the stock ROM.

I just bought the Ultimate version. I intend to put some screenshots up after a few days to show if there are any differences between the battery life I have been experiencing with this phone and what I experience with Juice Defender installed and working on it.
Obviously, there will be some tweaking going on to get it set up properly but hopefully I will have everything figured out very shortly. I have high hopes for this application though I realize I am likely going to have to root the phone to gain access to the 2g/3g/4g toggle function. That is likely to save me the most battery power when I am out of the house and office while still allowing synchronization all of the time.
It worked good for me just had one complaint. It takes a few secs to connect from screen off. But it does save some battery.
Something on my Gnex is going GPS crazy today after the 4.2 upgrade. I've tried disabling Google Now, checking logcats for likely suspects, freezing various apps, but I can't narrow it down. It's causing battery drain and preventing deep sleep. Any ideas how to figure out which app has been calling for GPS so frequently?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yeah my GPS won't even lock after I did the upgrade yesterday. I dropped my phone also so that could be the reason idk
I still don't know which app is responsible, but I realized I've been getting constant data dropouts today. Every time data comes back, the GPS icon pops up for a little while. Tried flashing the H1 radio and I'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Bump. Is there ANY way on Android to track down which app is responsible for firing up the GPS?
I'm using the stock Bell 4.1.1 on my S3 and it's always searching for GPS every minute or so. In fact I can force it to just by turning the screen off and then on again. It finds a signal fine everytime, but after a minute it's checking again.
I've tried going through and disabling anything that could be using the GPS, but it's still happening. Is there an app out there that I can get that will tell me what is accessing the GPS and when? I really want to track this down.
Disable GPS except when you need it? Just a suggestion.

Thanks but that's just a workaround. My battery life isn't so bad I can't live with it. I just don't want to see that blinking icon up there all the time. I should only see that icon every 15 minutes at the most.
Somethings checking the gps and I want to find out who the culprit is.
