Google maps v5.0 draining battery? Screenshot

Can anybody tell me wtf is going on here? I tried searching here and wiping maps' cache, but it didn't change this problem. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling maps.

Kill the program. If you leave GPS on and that program runs it will suck battery like no other. Axe GPS and the program and it should go down.
If it doesn't, try reflashing the ROM after clearing everything...this might have also caused some problems

So i turned off gps and force closed maps.... still at 92%. I never had this problem with maps using myn's until maps v5.0.

ALSO, I turned off background data and force closed maps again, still at 82 percent of battery usage. I am just going to revert to an older version of maps. I feel like someone on here knows the answer and just isn't saying. I used to get 30+ hours on a battery charge, and that number has been cut in half now.

Yeah...people are going to this thread, reading about your issue and thinking to themselves, Hey, I know how to fix it but I don't think I will post my fix because _______.
Fill in the blank?

Yeah, well, that was a joke. But the problem remains. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I was having the same issue too. I used it as an opportunity to try out a new ROM (CM 6.1.1), and have not had the problem with the new maps since.

I was thinking the same thing.... maybe the newest fresh, maybe CM. You've convinced me.

I just wanted to say that this is happening to me to. HTC EVO running the most recent official software. I was sent over here by a user on another message board, and there's at least 2 or 3 other posters who are having the problem.
I uninstalled the update, and went back to the version that the phone shipped with and it fixed the problem. Reinstalled 5.0 and there was no problem UNTIL I ran navigation in maps. Now it's doing the same thing again.

i have the same problem to on my HTC wildfire running on the most update official software. i tried reinstalling v5 but that didnt work for more then 3 houres. So now i deinstalled the updates and it works fine again.
anyone a better solution?

Dude, I had this EXACT same problem. Trust me, it's not Maps draining your battery. For some reason, it lists the last app used and puts it there. Later on, it will be Android System. I was scrambling. Killed the program, turned off auto sync, mobile data, etc. Nothing worked. Using the same rom and all.
Found out, my PRI and radios were not compatible with my build. Are you on 3.3? And using 1.9 PRI. It needs to be 1.7.
Check this out and see if that's the issue. If it is, fix that and you will be back to normal. Switching to CM really didn't fix your issue, just their rom with your build is compatible with those radios and PRI.

Any app for free hot spots for phone

I have the very same problem. I haven't exactly solved it but Quickboot sure helped. Maps 5 is seriously flawed though. Even after GPS is off it still hogs the battery, ridiculous.

Well the symptoms that u describe are right, also saw my andriod system high in my battery usage list. However that was back to normal when maps whas up in the list. Now i use the maps without updates and i didnt use my phone much andriod systems is low and maps is not in the list.
I have no idea what radio and PRI do, and where to find which i have. Can u explain where to find some info and where i can see which i have in my phone?
Thanks

[ROM-ish] OV Port of ath3nos's Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) 7/15

While I was creating a way to port Zefei's CM7 to the Optimus V with working MMS, I guess I accidentally created a way to port a different Gingerbread Rom as well. The MMS works on this port! Thanks to Raul720 for figuring this out.
Boot into your recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Next flash these in the following order:
1. [ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread)
Direct link to rom:
07/15/2011
2. gapps
3. Sprint-to-OV_ath3nos_signed.zip (updated 7/15/2011)
4. ath3nos_bloat_remover.zip Optional (updated 7/15/2011)
Removes: some ring tones, support for non-English languages, bootanimation, some themes, and other stuff that most people don't use.
This only increases space in the system partition.

Known Issues:
No voice search button for now. I remapped it to the power button.
160+ character SMS auto split doesn't work like it is supposed to. See below for a work around.
TIPS, TRICKS, AND FIXES:
1) Voicemail - Go to Settings/Call Settings/Voicemail Settings and change "*86" to YOUR phone number. You can now hold 1 to check voicemail in the dialer.
2) Proximity Sensor - Go to Settings/Call Settings and check "Always use proximity" to fix proximity sensor during calls.
3) Electron Beam - Open Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Display and Check both Screen Animation boxes.
4) Split SMS - Open Messaging, Push Menu button, Select Settings, Check "SMS split" and "Split counter" to auto-split messages over 160 characters.
5) Battery Percentage - Go to Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks, you can check "Battery Percentage" to enable battery percentage in the status bar.
6) Front Key Wake - Flash this from recovery if you want all the front keys to wake the phone: Optimus_V_Key_Swap_signed.zip
7) Wrong Timezone - Settings > Date and time > Uncheck automatic. Then select the proper timezone. Finally, recheck automatic, and it should be fixed. (Thanks Eollie!)

Cool! Interested to see how this runs compared to Aosp's version. I love his rom but it still needs quite a bit of polish for me.

we've had some good discussion at another forum as well, but let me be the first in this forum to say thanks and great job!
i've been running this for a day now and it runs very smooth. the camera is fully functional as well. i've noticed that my battery life has been better than when on AOSP, though i'm not sure if it's ROM related. it's always hard to tell with battery life.
one thing i should mention is that after flashing the ROM, when you go under "About Phone" in settings, it will still say AOSP.

So far, and IDK if this is really a bug on your end but my Voice dialing button doesn't work.

I fixed that with the latest sprint-to-ov swap this morning. You can flash it over what you have now with no adverse effects. The only difference is the build.prop and the key swap is included.

oh cool. thanks mmarz!

That is a bug in the original rom. I updated the Sprint-to-OV file to map that button the to power button until it is fixed in the rom.

Or (and I know this is a radical idea) you could compile the source for the Optimus V and get working key mappings and the 'aosp' kernel without any additional work.
If you're getting better battery life, it may be due to using Zefie's kernel (which you get when you configure for the OS) vs the 'aosp' kernel (which you get when you build it for the OV).

What recovery would you use with this rom. Not sure.

[Q] Please help with my Tmobile DEFY to get CM7

I have this version which I can't seem to find as a SBF anywhere on the internet
Version.34.0.179.MB525.T-mobile.en.US
android 2.2.2
baseband EPU93_U_00.58.00
So how will I back up this ROM as a SBF before going to CyanogenMod?
Can I install nordic on top of this?

You don't have to worry about using the american sbf... The nordic will work fine... Just make sure you use the base band switcher to apply an american base band when you are finally in cm7.
I wouldn't bother making a recovery of your system now...
When you get into
Cm7rc1v2, you will love it..
Go ahead and flash the nordic, root with soc, and use second init to boot into recovery, so you can install cm7rc1v2.
It's all up on that first post.. Good luck
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Feel free to lmk if you have any questions along the way... And, if you really want that american sbf... I can get you a link... Though, it will be wasted effort, as I know you will love gb better.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Thanks. I followed the guide and flashed CM7. But now I have an issue with GPS. I get absolutely no satellites. I have got GPS Status and have reset the state and downloaded AGPS data but not a single satellite is visible :|

Maybe flash back to the nordic, try and user the gps, then go back to cm7...
I heard someone say to do that about the camera, maybe it will work with the gps...
I personally haven't had any issues with either..
Another thing you can try, (which may or may not help, it's to flash the cm7 zip twice in a row... Maybe it will help to write[the data more...

This may be a silky question, but you are outdoors while trying to lock on satellites?
You should shoot for clear sky view, and depending on your location, it may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to get locked..

I am now seeing 1 or 2 satellites at most. Could it be that I have faulty hardware?

Possibly...
I suppose it acts flaky in stock 2.2 also?
Btw, what are you using to get how many satellites you are locked on?
Edit:
Nevins.. I got something called gps status and test.. I'll tinker with that and see what I get as normal
Triple edit
Okay, I had about seven satellites after about five minutes of playing around.
You may just have a tough time in your area locking on?.?.

Check this out, found it on the other topic..
"13) How can I make GPS work better (be more fast and precise)?
- Make a backup of your /etc/gps.conf (use a file manager to rename or copy to another place)
- Visit this thread
- Click in the link "XDA Members Click Here" at the final of the post, and search for the correct .zip for your country

[Q] Annoying orange box!!

I've only recently started to have these orange boxes highlight everything all throughout the UI. It is so ****ing annoying!! I don't know if I messed with a setting of some kind or if it's an app that's causing it but I want it off! I've searched the web for an answer to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Edit: I have uploaded a screenshot for those who do not know what I'm talking about.

Is anyone going to help me? Is this normal??

Using a kernel with an overclocked GPU? They can tend to cause screen artifacts if your device can't handle the increased clock speed

Are you on the stock rom unrooted?
If not Id suggest backing a backup with CWM, perform a full wipe. If that fixes it then it could be a third-party app causing it.

I'm rooted stock. I will try wiping.

To be sure it all wipes ok, connect to fastboot and type: "fastboot erase userdata"
That will erase ALL data, even the internal "sd-card". I remember a user here had a really painful bug where his home button wouldn't work and there was no lockscreen and that was all solved by erasing userdata through fastboot.

Does anyone use Pulse? I have nearly reinstalled all of my apps and I don't see the boxes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Pulse user here. Never had problems with it. Also first time seeing boxes like the one you have. I even have restored my feeds several time due to multiple rom flashing.

also a pulse user....never had any problems like this...and i haven't ever seen a problem like this.
good luck with it though...that would be really annoying.

having the same issue here as the OP. It doesn't seem to be Nexus specific, I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300T) running ICS 4.0.4.
I have rooted (cf-root) the phone and am running Siyah kernel. Have gone through every single setting I can find in Android & browser, have also uninstalled all the 3rd party Apps without any resolution.
It seems that the orange box surrounds the first submit/input field and affects anything text based - my default browser, chrome, facebook app, etc...I've just realised now I can also have multiple boxes on each screen if i've visited the link.
I got really frustrated because this 'orange box' left me in a google account login loop whenever I try to use the browser to search google.com. As google account is the first link on the mobile page. It's reaaaaally frustrating!
Will have to wipe and reinstall again but hopefully this is of some help to others.

NFC works on Stock based ROMS but not CM9, CM10 or AOKP (Rogers/AT&T Version)

So my NFC hasn't worked since the first day I had the phone. I played around with Touchwiz and thought it was quaint and funny, but not for me. So I tried out AOKP and CM9 nightlies of ICS, which were pretty stellar, despite dealing with the camera issues that have since been resolved. Then I switched to the CM10 Preview Builds, and while I absolutely love it, I really miss the android beam/NFC party tricks that my galaxy nexus and nexus s friends and I would play to entertain the ladies.
In all seriousness. NFC has only worked for me on Stock, Stock Rooted, DietICS, and the only other Stock or Stock-based ROMs I have flashed. I have installed and reinstalled AOKP or CM9 and CM10 several times, doing full wipes all around, and my problem is:
On AOSP built or based-from ROMS, the option to tick the NFC box results in it blacking until I restart the phone. It never activates. Ever. I've held that thing up to my Nexus 7 corner trying to see if it maybe is activated but just not allowing me to unactivate -- that is NOT the case.
Anybody got any clues or ideas as to what might be going on here? If I nandroid back to one of the backups of the other stock-based ROMs, NFC works, as it does if I then wipe and flash a different stock-based one.
A friend of mine (with a White Bell SGS3 [mine's black and the Rogers version]) just had me root/unlock/flash a JB rom onto his phone, and his NFC works. I felt incredibly left out.
Any advice would be appreciated. Legacy drivers or libs from the Samsung distribution? A carefully tweaked SQL DB? Anything, anybody? NFC isn't faulty, and wouldn't qualify for a warranty exchange since it does work on the original unrooted stock nandroid that I did before moving on to a Touchwizless life.

look at this thread

yeah. I checked that out, but though it works for sgs2, it didn't work for me. Currently I'm trying to copy over some of the old nfc-related libs and files from a stock-based rom and seeing if that'll do the trick...

I'm using CMX. No problems with NFC. See if you can get your hands on a different battery with NFC. Make sure your stuff isn't bad.

I have the exact same problem as the OP using CM10 from day one. When I went back to Sammy stock NFC worked. I don't use NFC so I chose to stick with CM10. My friends NFC on his SGS3 works fine running CM10. I tried switching battery's with him for a test and it was still a no go. I'm not sure what is going on but at least now I know it isn't just me. Hopefully somebody does figure it out at some point.
Here is how the option looks after I enable it. It remains checked but darkened out and does not work. After rebooting the phone it is not checked any more.
