Facebook showing GPS usage when it's disabled (4.2.1)? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Why does the GPS area in the screenshot show over 90 minutes of usage when I have GPS turned off? Any ideas?

Facebook has been long known to be a poorly coded app (even the newest version) I've stuck to using the browser only because it's so buggy. I'd chalk it up to that...

Turn location off inside settings of app.

The lastest build of their app is by far the worst I have used personally. Someone posted an older build which does not have as many features, but it is way less buggy.
LMK if you want a link.

Here you go buddy :highfive:

Another update in play store but I'm gonna pass...

same issue!
im seeing the same problem on my phone now, simply annoying. its my #1 battery drain even without using the phone or app.
app can be completely off, not on process list, gps turned off, location turned off in app, still goes up! might start using the mobile site instead of app.... until this can be fixed

That's exactly what was happening with my phone. I've been using the app that dschreiber69 provided earlier in this thread, but because Facebook eats so much battery on this phone I haven't been using it much anymore. Furthermore, I haven't been using Facebook much on either my phone or a computer. I'm getting sick of it, same crap every day. Nothing new. Blah.

Can someone explain this to me please ?

Hi guys,
Im still disappointed about my screen and looking to exchange my phone pretty soon. But for now I have other issue.
Tonight I was texting with my phone and my battery was around 60%, then suddenly my phone froze and it got shut-off. I tried to turn it on but nothing happened so I removed the battery and the phone turnes on just fine. Then I notice a ~%30 drop in my battery level as it shows in the picture I have attached. What the hell is this and why mu phone froze ??
I never rooted the phone and it is still lock to Telus.
Thank You in advance.

well according tot he usage tracker, there was some serious usage by the drop on WiFi, Awake and Screen
on the other hand that sudden drop, could mean the battery actually had less charge than the sensor detected, so it readjusted itself
Oh so after the restarted the phone detected the actual charge of the phone ? So thata kinda normal ?
How about the frozen phone ? Has anyone had their T989 phone frozen so far ?

I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now (stock, not rooted) and it hasn't frozen/restarted/etc.
Also luckily I have minimal screen issues. I would exchange it and hopefully get a better one, because I really love this phone!
Not sure in your case but
i know some root only required apps allow you to push/continue anyways maybe a force close or something caused a freeze

Battery issues with aokp

I didn't want to ninja the aokp thread so I'm posting this here. So for a while i was running aokp version 26 with no real issues. I wasn't following the development for a while so when i checked back they were at version 32 which runs 4.0.4.
I also want to mention I'm running no new apps, basically the same setup as when i was on 26.
Facebook seemed to be a big culprit and when i closed that it helped a bit. The screen seems to be using more than it did too. I am mainly concerned with all the wake time. The phone is awake a lot more than the screen is on.

system wakelock ?
whats the name of that app sucker app you posted.
reset your kernel, wipe and then flash again. It might help
It's called badass battery manager pro. I downloaded it last night from the market because someone on another forum suggested it. It's pretty nice in that it shows battery use app by app.
I'm also using lean kernel. Flashed it a couple days ago. Was using trinity for a while then tried out lean. It actually runs a lot smoother with lean but no battery change.
today it actually isn't to bad. All i did was manually stop Facebook. So once again it seems fb was causing issues. That app is junk.
i am still curious why it is awake so much. GPS is off, wifi is off (always have 3 or 4g), sync is off. Only thing i leave on is nfc but i have been told that is only active when the screen is on. I use no weather type widgets either. I have no clue what would keep waking the phone.
Edit: and what do you mean by reset the kernel. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I installed the rom, then a couple days later flashed the lean kernel over trinity. Is there another way to do it?

I only saw battery improvements with AOKP's 4.0.4 integration.
Quick update, i have a screenshot from a better part of the day. I'm getting a ton of awake time. are there any common culprits that i can maybe freeze with titanium?

Yeah, I'm going to stop using the Facebook app I think. It's such a drainer. I don't mind a game taking up battery on its own but something like that should not use as much as it does! Hopefully they fix it soon.

The amazing moving app drawer!

Over the past couple of days, the app drawer on my unrooted stock Note 2 had taken to moving about randomly.
I'm not overly concerned about it, but I'm wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
Thus far, I've seen it move to the centre and the second rightmost position.
This morning, I actually watched it swap position when I unlocked my phone.
Regards,
Dave

It would be awesome if we can move it on command though, I want it in the middle.
Is everything still working correctly when it's moved?

Yes, everything still works fine. I wouldn't mind it in the centre all the time either.
Thus far, moving the other shortcuts around tends to snap the app drawer back, but it was weird this morning to see it move because I could swear it was animated (as opposed to simply just flipping position).

On this phone, doesnt matter. I no longer worry about cutting any service off and cant kill my battery! This is the way all phones should work! :good:

Thanks for the advice, but no thanks!
Battery life on the Note 2 is frankly epic, even if I leave WiFi and BT on.
I don't go chasing battery life on a device that can easily get me through the day.

[HALP] The sns_async_ev_wakelock

Hey XDA,
I've been getting this sns_async_ev wakelock and it is keeping my tablet awake, and never allowing it to enter deep sleep. I've been looking at some threads about it, but no one seemed to have a definite answer to eliminate this wakelock. I have absolutely no social networks by the way, and anything Google related has been frozen, except the Play Store and Gmail. Here are some screenshots of the BBS.

I have, but it hasn't told me what app or process has been causing it. The wakelock count goes up at 20/s and it never stops. I've uninstalled every app I have installed and I've wiped the tablet, but it still happens. I have no idea why and it's really getting on my nerves now.

[Q] Question on LG Health

I set this up yesterday before I left for work and had maybe 10-20 steps from just wondering around getting ready for work. When I got to work I noticed that 10-20 jumped up to around 1,300 steps. Thinking it was from driving to work I reset it and walked from building to building and around the office. For what walking I did I had maybe 500 before it was time to leave work. I got home and I had about 1,800 steps. I reset it and let the phone sit till I left last night. When I got home I noticed it had a lot more steps than it should. Seems like its just tracking movement and counting x number of feet and y number of steps. I went in today to clear everything from the app so it's like I have never used it, I'd like a fresh start for when I do use it again.
Now to the question, is their a way to stop it from tracking me? Unless I have overlooked it I'm not seeing anything. I tried to shutoff location based services however it still keeps track of the number of steps. I just want to shut it off for when I'm in a car with out having to shut my phone off or put it in airplane mode.
It uses the accelerometer to know how many steps you are doing, its not using your location.
Actually, it appears there are several sensors working together to capture this data, though I'm sure the accelerometer plays it's part.
I've experienced the same thing though, so I'm guessing the sensors could use a firmware tweak - perhaps in a future update they will refine them more?

Thanks, I did mean accelerometer very loosely just to distinguish it from location based services, but its always nice to see the full list of sensors.
Thank, but how do I stop it when I don't want it running? When I'm driving its registering as steps.

When I had it running I didn't notice an issue. However I did shutoff GPS.
