My gps is constantly going off recently which never happened before. I can't figure out why, though. Hoping there is a way to tell which app is causing it

You could get BetterBatteryStats to see which process triggers it.
Although, if you have it turned off and location access off, it shouldn't trigger on it's on. Unless you gave permission to a app to do so (like facebook).

So, here is the situation with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Every now and then, when the phone is left idle and I try to browse to use the Internet after a while, the speeds are unusable.
So, I run one of those network refresh apps every now and then (which basically puts the phone into airplane mode and back) and that always solves the problem.
My question is whether anyone knows an app that can do this automatically, say once every hour.
Now, this is an issue that I had with my phone ever since I installed ICS on it and none of the different ROMs had helped and neither did flashing different radios.
So, if anyone knows an app like this or has a similar problem with their phone, all help is much appreciated.
Should be a way to do this in either Llama, which is free, or Tasked, which is a paid app.

I keep losing data randomly and the only fix is to cycle airplane mode. Any idea what's going on?

I'm having the same issue but the app didn't fix anything. It only started the last week or two, and I've only been using CM10 and nothing else. I've flashed the different radios, including the new one, the L7? Did that today and still haven't noticed any thing different.
Not sure if it's the ROM after a certain date or something.
I have always had roaming on and national roaming on too. Never had issues in getting 4G until the data started cutting out completely.
Any other suggestions? I don't think apps are going to help.
It also seems that I'll have WiFi when the phone is on, but when I put it to sleep, it switches to data. When using data in the car and I put the phone to sleep, then it goes from data to no-data.
Real frustrating.

That app is just a gimmick... why else would it hide the status bar? It most likely just toggles airplane mode like i have been.
same issue also I am on codefirex 11/11/12 build. for me I will lose 3g after approx 30 mins of use and then no service....so I reboot the pH and I get 3g back.

Anyone been able to get the gps for this app to work on a rooted SGS3? I have it in system apps but notta gps, still enables wifi only. Any help or workarounds? Thanks!
I'm not having any issues with it. Can you rephrase your issue, please? The web interface won't track the phone?
It will track the phone via web, but the gps will not track, all I get is a little split second icon like the gps wants to turn on, but wont, and wifi automatically takes over the phone internet connection. Im trting to get gps to work on this thing and its not.

Mind the fact im on the stock Rom rooted only, no custom recovery.

Does the app have su access? Have you enabled Device Administration within the app?
Delete thread, problem was solved through cerberus support. Was wondering why gps icon was disappearing suddenly. Once the app enables, gps goes to ghost mode.

Mainly happens with Facebook (have locations disabled but still turns on the GPS and tries to get a lock)
Randomly the GPS will try to get a lock (or even get one) and stay on, even after the application that was using it is closed... Have tried using terminal to stop the location service and doesn't do anything...
Anyone found a workaround for this (besides the normal rebooting)... It started to eat the battery like crazy when it does this

I have this same problem. My solution was to stop using the Facebook app as it is the only one that causes me the problem.

I've had the same problem with the Facebook app, I suggest turning the GPS off from the pull down bar before entering the app all together

Like 30% of my battery for the third day in a row is Maps, yet I haven't opened maps once. I restart everyday and it happens again. I assume it has to be the gps, but i dont know of any app that is using it, either.
Touchdown uses about the same amount of battery, so I'm wondering if it has some gps feature running I don't know about? How do I figure out what the problem is?

try this, go to your app manager, locate your map(gps) etc.. and wipe cache.
If you turn off your location access i think it might help.
Using anything like Google now ?
