I've noticed that the phone wakes up a lot during the day and it's starting to affect better life. is there a way to check what wakes up the phone?

Are you running stock? Rom? Do you have any app notifications set to "wake" the phone. Also, try ES Task Manager and see what is running when the phone wakes up.

I am stock deodexed lk8 rooted. all notifications should wake the phone (waking is when the software starts processing, not necessarily when the screen turns on)

It shouldn't...unless you allow lots of stuff to run in the background. What is issuing partial wakelocks on your device? Things like Sprint Connections Optimizer, and network-based location will bleed you dry in useless partial wakelocks.
Even leaving data sync-age on, wifi on, GPS on shouldn't unless you're phone is constantly getting email/text notification pings.
im looking for an app that can concentrate a number of actions to one button that i will be able to put on my Homescreen as a widget, thus saving time by not forcing me to do each and every one of the actions.
for example - i would like to open "waze", turn on bluetooth, turn on the gps and turn off the wifi with just one click
is that possible?
dose anybody know an app who dose that?
(im using an unrooted Nexus 4 and i am aware of the NFC technology - just looking for a different solution.)
thanks a lot!!

I thinks Tasker can do this

If you get Tasker right now I believe its on sale. It can definitely do this. You would create a profile for the application Waze, and add tasks for each thing you want to happen when you open Waze.

Look at my two attached pictures. Phone has been in standby for 5 hours and battery is 95%.very good... But why is maps on top of my battery consumption list?? Haven't even openend maps! And everything is turned off in the maps app (location sharing etc...)
Is this a reporting bug? Ofc reinstalled the maps app with no luck.
Language is norwegian in the images but you get the point

Did you use GPS with your car or geopositioning to find a bar for example ?

No... the phone was at home while i was at the gym
Seems like a bug as it doesn't show it as active on the second picture

I've seen this too. Changed some location setting and it seems to have calmed down. Further to this Google play updated it yesterday for bug fixes.

Hello there. I'm one of those users Wii turns all GPS/location services off when I'm not using it, but when I want to use gps, I have to long press the gps toggle, click the 2 boxes, then go to Google settings, click location services, turn Wi-Fi on, all that good stuff. Is there any widget or app I could use to turn all this on and off at once? Thank you in advance for your answers friends.

Why shut it off if not using it? It's not doing anything or activating anyhow so just keep it on. That toggle doesn't do anything but tell apps whether or not GPS is available. So if you aren't seeing the icon in the status bar, no GPS is being used. So just leave it on. Mines on all the time.

But that won't cause wake locks and drain the battery? As sparsely as it's used, doesn't seem worth the drain possibility, but when I need it, it's needed immediately, and briefly. That's why I'm asking if what I'm requesting is even possible.

It will not drain your battery unless it's being used by some app or something. Other than that, it's not being used unless you see the icon in the status bar.

you could use llama or tasker to create an action so when you open maps or any other program, turn on gps...and when you exit that program it will automatically turn off gps

Yes, you have to get an app called Secure Settings. I use it for my maps. The only thing is, you have to agree with the location service when it pops up. I don't mind, it only takes an extra second. I also created a widget that toggles location services on and off for the times I need to quickly access it. I love Tasker, it's awesome! I find automated tasks for it to do all the time.

I went ahead and bought tasker, and it's overwhelming and very very complex, but I got what I was looking for! Anything else cool tasker can do?

Ok, after messing with it a few days, I can turn on and GPS when opening an app, but I cannot figure out how to toggle the location services in Google settings. Any suggestions?

I can't seem to find GPS shortcut for the pull-down menu after I did the KitKat update. Did they remove it or am I just blind and cannot find it?
Its called location. If you don't see that then scroll all the way to the right and click on edit and look for location. If its already checked then try toggling it off and back on

I just figured that out. I really liked having 1 click GPS on and off. Now its 3 clicks. Oh well I guess I'll get used to it.
How is it 3 clicks? Once its on your notification panel you just toggle on/off with one click

Doing that also turns off the cell and Wi-Fi location services. I was just looking for the quick GPS sensor toggle.
Yeah it depends if you want to keep it on a certain mode. Thus far using the battery saving mode has still given me accurate GPS location. I haven't tried using navigation with it though so not sure if that would work just as well or not.
