Hello folks,
I am currently using Cm10 m2 rom, SGH-T999 (AT&T),JB 4.1.2, Nova launcher for about two weeks now. I was able to use GPS on google maps in the morning but when i looked at my phone later, the battery was 20% gone from the constant GPS searching for signal. Google maps is unable to locate my location but my other apps were able to locate me. I have tried disabling all running services but this searching for GPS signal thing is contantly showing up...does anyone knows an app that will tell me what app is requesting gps signal?
Thanks in advance!
If maps can't get your location then that's probably the issue.
Have you tried restarting the phone?

Yeah, i rebooted a couple of times, wipe out dalvik cache, removed battery and uninstall google maps. When google map was uninstalled, the GPS searching for signal continues to run.
GPS on google maps works now..but the gps signal search is still going on. I am disabling gps for now.
I'm having the same issue!
I think this happened after I downloaded maps for my area, and still working on a fix though

I was trying to test the turn by turn GPS but Google maps was forcing close.. Reinstalled it but the problem persists.. Hardware issue maybe?

Are you running a custom rom?

Was the gps radio on before opening the app? Does the app work at all? Is the error only when closing?
Thanks for replying.. The GPS rádio is on. Gmaps apparently is working fine, showing my correct position. But when i click a place on the map and ask to navigate, it suddendly crashes.. I will factory reset the phone, lets see if it works

Is turn by turn navigation enabeled in your country? Don't thinks its active everywhere yet.. might be reason for crashing

I had this problem two nights ago when trying to search for a place via the navigation app (of which I'd then want gps navigation to). It kept crashing on me, so I opened the actual Maps apk, searched for the destination via Maps, then drove down into the location and asked for navigation. Worked fine then.
This morning I'm trying it again, and everything works fine on all fronts. This is in the U.S., stock 4.0.2 on VZN.

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.
Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

No I don't use google now but i dont have background data off so maybe everytime i turn back on my data it trys to connect to google now?
I was also wondering why Google Maps is always running. I just disabled/uninstall Google Maps altogether.
Same problem with my phone too.

I found this or clearing the cache would stop maps from wake locking.

what is that a app?
Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.
I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

I just did that, but do I need to update to the latest maps though? I'm guessing No, cuz the latest update has people complaining about the battery drain.

As above, I recently flashed SentielROM and i installed TopNTP.
Now my GPS won't lock on with either google maps or Endomondo.
I've tried resetting my GPS setting in TopNTP and uninstalling it to no avail.
Please help,
Thanks,
Del
Managed to fix it.
Dunno what happened but I just reinstalled topntp and rebooted.

Nope. Works fine here.

No problem here. Try clearing the cache and data for the app.

Happened to me too and restarting fixed it like for you. I was using another app that uses GPS so I figured that was the problem (though I never had it happen with my note 2). Wierd.

I've never had this happen either but it's back and after a reboot still happening. I do a search for a location and start navigation with no problem but I can use the directions functionality. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
Google just updated the app. No issues now
Hi.
I wonder if anyone has problem with here maps also?
I cannot see any maps or download maps in here. Just grey. Have reinstalled the app, and also Mokee.

No probpem with me. I have downloaded and used nokia here maps on multipe ROMs and multiple times. What i have noticed is that it works fastee or better on touchwiz roma then on cm/aosp/slim based ROMs. Also save your maps on sd card so that ut can surviveeven if you wipe data.
You can get the latest Nokia Here Maps from here.
http://here.com/beta/android/?lang=en-US
All works fine and no problem to download maps and voices
I am using latest beta.
Strange. I know it has been working, but I dont remember in which rom (have had a serious period of rom testing) it was.
Should be time for a new beta soon, so hopefully it will solve the problem

Nokia maps have offline navigation and offline maps. Even offline re routing when using navigation fetaure. And some of the local places maps are much better in nokia then in google. I have downloaded whole "india" maps for offline access. Saves a lot of data.
