It's probably just the NSA keeping tabs on you. At some point, you must have raised their suspicions

I'm having the same issue. The GPS keeps coming on, even with everything turned off in the general settings and within my apps. I did a factory reset and wiped all my data and the problem still persist. I also have taken out the battery, sim and sd card too and still no luck. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have not had this problem, I'm on ATT as well. Although I do not have the value pack upgrade as it seems to cause degraded battery and gaming performance on my phone.
Try factory reset from settings...save all your data first on a ext-sdcard or on your pc then do the factory reset...

I call at&t and they have no complaint reports for this issue. Or know anything about it. They guy from tech care recommend a master reset. Wich i say No. Cause i work for tmobile and thats what i do to clients lol! Karma is a bi#$%.
Anyways location access so far turn on while making a call, conecting to wifi or data. Or waking the phone from stand by.
I went to google settings and under location i turn off the location reporting & location history. So far so good. So i will keep testing this and let you guys now.

No this is becoming a widespread issue. I had this problem and literally would watch the switch go from off to on in a matter of seconds. Everytime I received a phone call it would turn the GPS on, each and every time. I had to disable the carrier iq and all the services associated with it, and surprisingly my battery life has significantly increased on standby.
How do you disable the carrier iq? What did you disable exactly?

I have noticed this issue as well. I am trying to pin down exactly what is causing it. I believe I am getting close, as I have noticed a specific Google location service being active each time I have had problems with the GPS. After stopping that location service the gps isn't turning on every 2-3 minutes.

Please don't flame me for another battery thread, but I'm just curious if this is normal for CM10 and if there is a way to fix it?
My phone looks like it wakes up like every couple min.
I already applied the build.prop tweaks. Can anyone help me?

I'm evaluating Juice Defender Ultimate on CM10, but it's too early to tell. Have you tried looking at running apps and see if you have something stuck in a restarting loop? Maybe get Cache Clear and clear out a misbehaving app cache (not sure that would have an effect)...
Not sure if its from an app cause this doesn't happen on gingerbread. If it were though how would I identify the offending app?

I run juice defender ultimate with the cm10 nightlies. It doesn't seem to be consistent. I have gotten the same results as the OP even with JD running occasionally. One other thing to note about JD is that it doesn't seem to retain my settings. It winds up defaulting back to the balanced profile. I haven't done extensive research yet. Just some minor observations. But using JD (when it works) is still worth it to me.

Check your running processes and see what's there. I have found media server to keep the phone awake at times for unreasonable lengths. But I haven't found what's triggering it yet.

I don't think its the cell strength either because I have an airrave, but I have used the nexus modem and I didn't think it really made a difference.

Try to freeze google maps, if mine is unfroze it wakelocks every 2 minutes. -.- also turn off network location. system updates can mess up your battery life too. also, disable google now if you dont use it, its a battery killer as well. i get at least 1:40 on a stock battery screen on time, and 5-7 hours screen on time with a 3800mah battery. phone usually deep sleeps.
I do think google maps was the culprit here, I cleared data and cache and that seems to have really helped. Thanks for you response.

Put a new battery on my phone since I've been having charging problems (yes I've tried different cables this was last resort), battery was fully charged turned phone on and left it alone for half hour. I check the phone and it's gone down to 90% in that time.. I checked Gsam to see what was using up the battery and 70% was being used by "Media" im not downloading anything so I don't know why it's using up so much power...
I'm on Slim Rom Build 7 with K7 kernel if that's any help but I've been having battery problems/charging problems for awhile now no matter what Rom I use... stone have any ideas why it would be draining my battery like that?
Move your media files off your phone, then clear data on Media Storage and reboot. Wait a bit and watch for it to continue. If it stops acting up, copy your files back to your device.
This used to be a big issue last year with all our leaked firmware. Media scanner would hang up on something causing it.

GPS on device unexpectedly turns on �????
Hello everyone, greetings from my cozzy bed lol
No, serious talk.
During this last week i have noticed how my gps keep turning itself on, i an very paranoid when it comes to whats on my phone. The fact that it turns it self on at random moments
Was very strange to me. I recalled of any apps i installed., google settings, location settings, i even downgraded my Maps app because had just recently updated it. Since the problem was with the gps i assummed it could be a bug in the app. Which i find it is not. Now i have noticed that it comes on when:
*Placing a call
*Plugging usb cabke to pc/ac adpater
*Turning data connection on after being off forna while
*sometimes even after the phone gets unlocked
Now whilebmost of the times i unlock the device and its already on, i have dropped my OGP but that shouldnt be the cause as the problem is
Software related not hardware. It has been about 3 days now with this issue and i
Have grown a frustration towards it. I even thought the phone was messing up and almost trew it against the concrete when ibwas walking outside.
It really annoys me to have to be watching its state while i try to do something else
I wondered if anyone else has this same issue and if they were able to fix it.
Please help me with this bug.
This seems to happen randomly, it did it to me, I had to factory reset my phone to get it to stop. I then had it happen again so I flashed the original modem from the non value pack update and it never happened again, don't know if that was a quinky dink or it coincides with it.

I'm thinking it's probably Google Now. The real oddity is the amount of time it stays on for while indoors. It's almost like it doesn't want to utilize AGPS for when it can't pull a line of sight GPS signal.

Actually its most likely the AT&T Carrier IQ software that's on this phone. You can disable it in the Android system processes but it comes back on within 24hrs. Does anyone know of a thread of how to get rid of Carrier IQ on a LG Phone? I briefly browsed threads on XDA but didn't see a LG based one. Looks like the new G2 also has Carrier IQ on it too but the old Optimus G does not.

I installed the unofficial 8/31/13 CM 10.1 build and the CIQ is gone. I think I read there may be problem with texts/mms in the unofficial CM 10.2 builds when on Straight Talk (although that makes no sense to me).

Hi there,
I bought this device recently, and soon noticed it is quit though to have a decent conversation with it.
Basically after one minute the signal seems lost, I cannot hear properly the other person, then it comes back, then the call hangs up..and so on.
Anyone having any similar experiences with this phone? Is there any way to fix it? Is there anything I could try to do?
Thanks.

This does mean I would lose the 3G internet speed, doesn't it?

It looks like I can have a decent call with both the settings "GSM only" and "WCDMA only" (with data disabled).
I finished my data allowance for the month and my operator set me a limit of 32k. Could that cause the problem? So there isn't a real device issue?
I have always thought that data and voice had different separated bandwith ranges, speaking in terms of frequency...
Hello,
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if anyone experienced an issue with their Samsung Galaxy S4 where the screen flickers on the bottom 3/4 of the screen with a greyish tint? Not sure what is causing this and can't seem to figure out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated - thank you!!

Doubtful it is hardware
I have been having this problem since the 4.3 update. It usually only happens when the screen dims down due to screen timeout. Then it will start to get worse and project the flicker at regular brightness. A reboot usually fixes the problem or lessens it for a period of time.
I have tried with and without my live wallpaper, auto brightness on and off. Some people have recommended a factory reset to see if that clears it, but I have not been willing to do that yet since I have data that I do not want to loose and have not had the time to really troubleshoot. I am completely stock.
This has been driving me crazy for a while now. If you do factory reboot please post if makes a difference.
I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" which works like a real charm by enabling backlight control feature... Try it out first, then thank me and share your experience here ...
