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

Question regarding - HTC Incredible using the Cm 7.1 RC rom.

My question is when using the rom, does anyone else's Wi-Fi turn on and off and have terrible signal? I configured the Wi-Fi so it wouldn't turn off and still does even when I am on the internet. It just like resets itself. If anyone has any answers regarding please tell me.
It also seems unlike the last two roms I was on didn't have terrible signal. I'm always at 98% and my router is strong, the signal before it disapates can reach about 50-80 ft before it dies. But through my apartment I get around 42-98% and that shouldn't be happening.
So if anyone knows any of these questions please tell me.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know/haven't heard anything about CM7.1 having any wifi problems. Have you tried restring your router? That's usually what fixes my problem.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running a random CM7 nightly.

Re-string? Or Re-starting? I've restarted plenty of times. I don't know why this is happening, only with this rom and I really like it. But I hate that it does this.

I remember that some of the earlier CM7 ROM's had wifi issues.
I know this seems like a painful suggestion, but the newest nightly #151 is running really great and is likely much more stable than the RC you have running.
CM7 decides when to make a nightly an RC but the development and developers specific to our phone I don't think they have the power to do that.. so often those releases are buggy and those RC releases are the ones that people who don't like bugs like to flash.

I was thinking about it, what exactly does the nightley version have and how is it different? I really enjoy this rom but if the nightley more then likely fixes this I'd be happy to convert as long as it has the same features or more.

It has more features. Check the nightly thread in the dev forum, in the OP link titled Per Nightly Changelog.

There have been WiFi issues with many GB builds across many platforms. If you still have weird issues, you might want to try using the kernel POQbum is using. It's faster than the stock kernel, too.

I am using Nightly now, but the issue now is the battery. I switched it to Conservative but still seems to drain rather slow. But as for Wi-Fi disconnects, I've had none. But still got a ****ty signal strength. I can deal with it.
Thanks for the help though!

Make sure that you have the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never. Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced > Sleep Policy > Never

Try another kernel if you haven't, and good to know that fixed your problem
Also dial *228 and choose option 2 to update your PRL's for signal.

This is the % on my Wi-Fi. I don't have a problem with mobile just the signal on Wi-Fi...it don't really make sense. Every other rom was 100% but the cm7 one does this. It don't bother me to much now, but still wish it was working fine.

We need to donate to devs so they fix this retarded Media Scanner issue

All the roms except cm have this issue.All ya check your "Battery" in settings and see if "Media Server" process is eating up your battery.It should not be running period,but on my phone it uses 10-27 percent of my battery.
If your phone gets hot,most likely you have this problem.It usually starts after taking some videos or pictures.
Devs been ignoring this annoying problem,so i will throw in $20 to whoever fixes it.Hoping for other people to donate too.This is a serious problem on a lot of ics phones.But my Epic Touch 4g doesnt have that problem and Media Server process never runs on it like it does on my gs3-Thats how it supposed to be.

What rom are you on? To me it sounds like a corrupt media scanner. Apk.

I noticed that everything is fine but after i took some pictures and videos my phone got real hot,came home and checked my Battery stats and my Media Server service is at 27%.
Even now after i put .nomedia in every folder Media Server is still 4%.On my Epic Touch ics Media Server process never runs.

It might be media provider.apk. possibly secmediascanner.apk or secmediaprovider.apk. I'd try wiping the device completely, redownloading, then reflashing. (You can restore data after since the media scanner/provider is a /system app.)
Edit: on the epic touch, the cause of this was a theme that had included a wrongly compiled media scanner.apk.

I'm on Freegs3 and don't have this showing up in battery at all. Do you have your media syncing to anything? Like an auto-upload to something, dropbox/box/G+/etc?

I always wipe everything 3 times,so that is not the problem.Maybe its just Blazer problem,or maybe i removed some apk that was needed when sliming down my rom.
Im about to try Sonic rom,i hear a lot of good things about it.
Oh and i said that i never have this problem on Epic Touch.

Mine is gone completely sinse i put .nomedia files in my folders.But when its not acting up mine was at about 2-4% but sometimes it would go high as 10-30%.
I noticed that taking picture and videos on phones camera triggered this behavior.

No one ever wants to hear this, but, if you are having this issue across several ROMs then it's time to consider that perhaps it's an issue with your phone and not the ROMs.

I read you removed 40 apps or so from Blazer. Maybe you removed an app that's needed?

[Q] Insane Wakelock

Before I'm told to search, a Google search yields nothing regarding a particular wakelock I'm experiencing. I'm on CleanROM 2.6 and using Bricked Kernel. I know it's not a issue regarding the ROM or kernel, because I've had this wakelock in Jelly Bean also with a number of kernels and ROMs.
The wakelock is "sns_async_ev_wakelock". It's held 1 day and 5 hours of wakelock and it's woken up 201131 times. (I'm using Wakelock Detector). The tablet has been in airplane mode with no wifi or sync enabled as of last night. Today, I turn on my tablet and it's at 1%. It was a 53% last night. I'm talking 11pm last night to 7pm today. With no use.
I would love any and all help. I got nothing.

Can someone give me any ideas how to further pursue this? I just want to know what is causing this.

Today, this wakelock has a count of 78000 times. What the heck.

This is insanity. My battery life is awful today. Freshbacks only has 30min CPU time.

Clear the data on it or just disable and reinstall it.

Looks like some apps are causing this issue. You need to either uninstall non-vital apps or do a factory reset and start from fresh.

The reddit link and the last link are the same person. He/she said his/her wakelock was fixed with a new version of Android. I have the same apps on my N7 and MotoX. MotoX operates fine. The wakelock has existed across Jelly Bean and KitKat for my N7. It can't be my Freshbacks app, as the wakelock existed before that.

Being same apps doesn't mean the will work properly across all devices, there might be a bug in just N7 (or a tablet version), if its not a hardware problem and you have stock it has to be an app doing something wrong.

For example, today. I have my screen on for 4hrs. My battery is at 53 percent after being off the charger for 5hrs.

I have this on my LG G2 and still found no definite solution - I just got lucky and the wakelock slowed down after flashing stock ROM from another region. Nowadays it doesnt go over 10 minutes in 22 hours too often.
Quite annoying as this seems to come from Qualcomm's sources. This kind of bug is simply unacceptable.

It's from QCom? That would make more sense. My battery has been awful. Not something I'd expect from this tablet.

Make appropriate backups then do a factory reset. See if the wakelock is there without any apps installed, then start adding back the apps you had before.

It's a kernel wakelock common to the S3 LTE, Nexus 4 and a couple other models, and they all use QC chips.

Just setting this up in my note to see if it does what it claims
I'm not a fan of battery saver apps at all so I'm skeptical right off the bat
but this is from xiam... and it's free... and it has some interesting stuff packed In there so what the heck
it takes 4 days of "learning mode" before it starts battery savings based on your usage
anybody made it thru the 4 days yet?
I see people in the comments going from 10 hours to 18 hours battery life with moderate use but that doesn't make sense to me... This app looks like it's constructed to save battery when the phone is not in use and I don't really have that problem... i lay my phone down at night with 97% and I wake up in the morning with 96%.... how you gonna gimme 30% increase on 1% drain?
But I'm still curious anyway...

Thanks for giving it a test run for the rest of us. Looking forward to your results. I'm using Greenify now so a comparison would be cool.
Also if the guru works with system apps as well.

If something is too good to be true... It usually is?

So I've had it in my Note for 2 days now... not having any problems with lag or anything like that... still showing 1day 19hrs until the battery savings kick in based on learning mode... (funny reading the comments in the play store "had this running for 3 days and it doesn't help at all!!! Uninstalled!!!"... we'll duhhhh... it never made it out of learning mode ya goofballs)
But anyways... i noticed my battery actually draining a bit quicker during this learning phase ... whatever... I'm just being patient and following the instructions and we'll see in a couple days how this plays out.

I installed also and am awaiting to see how it goes. I will post findings later also..

any updates for those that have passed the 4 day mark?

Okay I have passed the 4 day mark after installing this it does help a lil not much If you look in the apps form the aplication it only stops services on what you use the most so if yo inly open a few apps during the learning process its not going to do much but if you open every app you have constantly you will get a much better chance of the app stoping other services you may or may not need

Didn't do anything for me at all... but there's probly a good reason why...
i run my Note bare bones as it is... Beans ROM heavily Debloated... no sync apps running... no facebook/no twitter/no magazine etc... no location services running unless i need them for something... only thing that starts and syncs data would be an email app and Gmail ... this snapdragon app basically tries to save you battery whenever you are not using the phone but i already have mine set up to do that all the time anyway so it didn't help at all... basically just another app running all the damn time.
I would think this app is for the casual user who doesn't take command of their device in the first place (or doesn't know how) or has a bazillion things always running and can't be bothered always trying to control them all. Nothing to see here for the power user who's always on their device or users like me who stripped it all down to beast mode.

Guys thanks for the information. Looks like I will just stick to Greenify. Maybe I will recommend to my friends that don't root and know much about their phone.
