My phone was on my bad for 5 hours i didn't touch it and when I took it I had lost about 15% of battery life when I go into battery setting I see that it was map who took the juice but I disabled all of the gps on the setting and my gps toggle was off so how can I know which app it was ?

If it was Google maps then Google maps itself is an app
You might want to disable the Wi-Fi. i figure out was from the Wi-Fi not from the GPS

So since I've had wake locks with Google maps I thought I'd disable the app when I'm not using it, also I disabled all GPS services. And I've been getting 4hours screen on time, my previous best was around 2 and a half.
If you don't use maps much and need the extra battery life , then give it a go.

issue confirmed with latest version of maps...no wakelocks anymore since i deleted maps
I'd love to get 4 hours screen on time with maps enabled , that would be happy days . But I'm a moderate users so 2 and a bit has been fine.

How do you disable it without uninstalling?

probably through titanium backup. you can uninstall it or freeze it
I used Autorun Manger

Unticked all the autostarts in Googlemaps and have no problems with wakelocks. Plus the beauty is I can start Googlemaps as normal.

Trying this now. I have been trying to crack the 2 and half hour screen on time for a while now. And even to get there was rare.
I can't stop the TrafficAppWidget Update even though I'm not using the widget anymore.
Any solutions?

Settings-->Apps-->Running
It has two "Map" apps running, the location service and the traffic widget.
im pretty sure its Lattitude thats causing Maps to stay on....maybe just disabling that will work also?
Edit: never mind

Once you start it manually, do you need to kill the task again or the problem will start or is the problem solely down to services starting?
Update: some screen shots of my battery stats with maps disabled for the day. Well I had to use maps for about 2 hours but then I disabled again. Also brightness us about 40% the rest you can see on stats.

Latitude does have an option for disabling background location updates. I've had that disabled since day one and have never seen wakelocks nor excessive battery drain associated with Maps. Am I doing something wrong to not be having this issue? :-D
Got the same issue, battery drained too fast.
Yeah I've been noticing quite a lot of wakelocks with the latest google maps. The version before I updated didn't seem to have this problem (or it was much less of a problem). I'd rather not have to disable the whole application though.
(Not using latitude either, I know that drains battery but it's actually doing something to show for it)

This.
You dont need to freeze or uninstall maps. Just log out of latitude.
You have to turn of all GPS services to stop maps from running in the background

See attached picture. I am experiencing unusually high battery drain. Could it be attributed to Google Maps causing over 60 wakeups in almost a 3 hour time period?
Since I posted OP 10 minutes ago it's now up to 83 wakes.
Probably more related to an app that is using maps. I had that problem before but can't remember which app it is. Are you using any check in type apps?
Sent from my AOKP'ed Samsung GS2 with Eugene's kernel
Not that I know of. I never check in with facebook. As for other check in apps like foursquare etc I don't even have any installed
Is it just acting up? Did you try force closing maps then see what happens or a reboot? Or is this an ongoing problem?
Sent from my AOKP'ed Samsung GS2 with Eugene's kernel
Had the phone for 2 days. So ongoing I wouldn't say. I tried wiping app data but not force closing.
Weather widget using location service via maps? Latitude? I was having the same issue so I just froze Maps. Don't have this issue any longer. I rarely use the maps/gps so I just unfreeze when I need to use it.
I use maps a lot so I can't disable that but I do use accuweather as well maybe I should turn off the automatic sync on that?

Same issue here, looking for a solution. Please let me know if found...
Is anyone else seeing this? It tops my list of wakelocks and I don't use latitude .

Shut off GPS when your not using it, which is most of the time for me. Most apps ,like weather, can use the network for location based services. Unless your navigation, there's almost no need for GPS.

Will turning off GPS prevent the "NetworkLocationLocator" wakelock?
I would always find that maps had started it self and used battery.
Now I have used Rom Toolbox to stop it from auto starting and it is behaving it self.
Not to hijack the thread, but whenever someone attaches a thumbnail to a thread, all I see is "Attached Thumbnails" and there is image. Anyone know why?
Update
I use PhoneWeaver (totally underrated app!) and for poops and giggles, I added the GPS toggle in all of the profiles except car mode. Before I have always just left the GPS on and figured if nothing needed it, it wouldn't be used.
Now that the GPS is disabled, the maps process never pops in and battery life is once again back to normal.

I noticed my phone wasn't sleeping. After an hour of searching I found this
Maps>settings > location > location settings and turned it off. Not quite sure what it's there for everything that uses my location such as Google now and weather are still working perfectly but my phone is now sleeping and battery life has improved dramatically.

location is for location history or latitude i believe

Turn google now off. It uses maps (I believe) to update the traffic, and location for weather updates.

Nearby Devices caused a huge battery drains for me...
Before heading to work today, I disabled All Share Cast because it drained 10% of the battery over night. But "Nearby Devices" managed to drain 15% of the battery during my 30 minutes trip to work. That is a freaking lot. The battery graph went vertical.
If I go into Settings -> More Settings -> Nearby Devices, File Sharing is not checked. Wi-Fi was on though.
This is the first time it has happened to me.
I am on ARHD 8 with stock kernel.
Any ideas?
(I have tried searching the forums and Google. Nothing useful came up)
Try disabling nfc in more settings.

Thanks m8, but NFC, S-Beam and Bluetooth was off. The only active com methods were WiFi and mobile data.

Tap on nearby devices.
There should be a list of included packages. I think
