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.

evo 4g sprint
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

I don't know if anyone has seen this or possibly knows what it may be, it shows up in spare parts, network usage. I cannot click on it to see what it could be, get the force stop msg. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my battery life is absolutely horrible. Running fresh rom, slayers cyan dragon theme, tried several different kernels and nothing seems to help, also tried downgrading pri.
Thank You

I recently saw a post asking about the "0" and the horrific battery life. While no one ever figured out what it was, the op solved the issue by backing up his apps & data with titanium, flashing Calkulin's format all zip, then reflashing his rom & kernel. I think he slowly restored apps so he could watch for the issue coming back.
Try a search & you might come up with the thread. I would definitely try the format all zip, though.

Thank you, i've used it but instead of restoring my apps one by one and cking for battery drain, i've just been restoring them all. I'm definitely going to give that a shot, again, thank you.

Try reading the logcat file. Get alogcat from market. You'll see either a block or multiple calls to some apk.
You call also get autostarts from market and disallow activation of intentions / events which cause "hangs" (spinning waiting) from the apk you found in logcat.

Thank you, I'll try that also.

Widgets, Live wallpaper Messaging clients Or any other client that receive notifications from the internet Will have your battery murdered like a runaway slave.
Typically a battery is only good for 200 to 250 charges. If it was charge properly every time. Let's face it nobody even knows how to charge the battery properly.
*edit please add around 900 more to the above figures for li-ion batts. Figures I quoted were for standard rechargeables.
Also check that you're not constantly running wifi and bluetooth. 4 g and 3g modes eat more battery than 2 g mode. Do what I do disable all wireless connections not in use.
If you ever noticed the display eats most of your battery power. turn down the brightness whenever you can see the screen clearly.
Applications that stream data over the internet will eat your battery quickly.
That's about all I can think of. Well 1 more thing. Buy a new battery and see if that doesn't help. (try èbáÿ)

Definitely thinking about buying a new battery, mine completely died about 3 weeks ago and I had a hell of a time to get it to pick up a charge again. That's probably my main problem I'm guessing. I just can't figure out the 0 in spare parts, network usage. I tried flashing a fresh version of fresh rom and individually reinstalling every app I had before, seemed to work for awhile, it didn't show back up. Waited awhile and reflashed Slayer's cyan theme and now it's back. Battery life was still **** before it showed up again though. Good advice and thank you, I believe I'll try a new battery.

You'll have to forgive me (i feel like an ass) I was in a hurry the other day. A UID under linux is a user I d. For general phone usage you should have 0 of these! Are you
using google admin?
If you have root try this in your terminal:
su
cat /etc/passwd
This file should not exist!

I will post logcat, I'll have to nand back, i've been trying a different rom(Destroyer rom) out since last night to see if it still appeared. I'm at a loss as to what it may be, the 0 hasn't appeared yet on this rom, it's an asop rom, not sure if it has anything to do with sense or not. I'll nand back to my original setup and post logcat or pm it to you would probably be better. Thank you

There is a large group flashing the Nightlies and I wanted to share with everyone that CM has decided their most recent build is good enough to be deemed STABLE.
Enjoy!!!! I suppose you can note issues here, but you'd probably get a better response if you join in the CM10 Nightly thread.
Edit:
Along with the STABLE moniker comes the Bug Reports too: http://goo.gl/zO2i0

How does one go the most bug free way from CM9 stable into CM10 stable?

Stable does not mean stable build. It is the same as usual "Nightly". CyanogeMod wants to finish building Android 4.1.2 and move to 4.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1)

Factory reset/wipe data before flashing. That's it.

so stable meaning they worked out the volume issue?
or stable enough to be a dayli driver?

It definitely seems more stable to me so far... But I am just on day one.. So will report if anything goes haywire.

yeah, i downloaded it as well and am 'bout to flash it to my wife's phone, hopefully it'll be stable enough or better than CM9
Edit... so far so good, just gonna let it settle 'cause after setting up all the apps it drained the battery from 70% to 30% in less than 45 minutes

Will we ever get an overclocked kernel for CM10 (JellyBean)?
Of course, I will not be using this phone when they finally get some Nexus 4s in stock

am I blind or is it just me, but I don't see a camera anywhere.
Well after looking at the rom on my compy I don't see that camera apk has been added, bummer

@latinohot,
You should definitely have a Camera app.

I'm getting absolutely horrendous battery life with this release. I flashed yesterday using cm updater, and also tried after a complete wipe of everything and fresh install. Also tried with/without lightning zap. No improvement no matter what I do. I can literally watch the percentage drop 1-2 per minute it seems with screen on. Leaving the device idle isn't much better, maybe 4 hours tops with hardly any use....any one else experiencing this? Other than that it seems pretty solid btw

Me too my battery dropped 30% in three hours and that was not using my phone at all. I checked for wake locks and thought it might be android system but it only had it at 10 min. So I went back to v20c where I consistently only loose 1 - 2 % per hour in idle.

that's why for now I'll stick with CM9 from HO NO

Found a bug that is very easily reconstructed. Simply press the record button for video (in my case 1080p). Phone crashes or sometimes freezes up. I can reboot using the power button.
Also battery life (at least so far) is very very poor but im going to let it settle for a few days and see how it is, km coming from cm9 for reference.
Other than that, it is a very solid Rom. Thank you rc for all your hard work. I'm going to attempt to log cat the crash.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

my battery life is just like previous 11/05 and 11/10. i have not yet installed lighting zap.

On my Telus P935 I got much better battery life than before, but that might have been because it's a new battery and isn't really broken in. I used it SMSing a few times a hour and occasionally googling last night on my 10 hour shift and after it being on for 11 hours it still have nearly 40% left. Way better than my Nexus S used to do. I did install Lightning Zap.
P935 on Bell with Telus V20e baseband.

I am also getting really poor battery life.
Yesterday I went out for dinner with 100% charge and came back with 73% left. Just over two hours.
Also, found a bug. The Messaging (SMS) app won't allow me to set the dark theme. Anyone else confirm?
Chrome isn't installed in CM10. I thought Chrome replaced the Stock Browser in Android 4.1 What's going on?

anyone frozen com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup?

I noticed that my AT&T ion with the international (LT28i) firmware stays awake about as much as with the LT28at AT&T firmware which is waaaaay too much. battery life sucks, of course, but it got me thinking. if there is a bug in this service, perhaps disabling it would have a positive impact? And (and this is a big one) if this service is not used by any other services I care about (to manage wakeups), maybe only servicing sony stuff I don't use, for eg, disabling this might not affect anything that I actually use.
anyone tried it?

That comes from fast dormancy app. Touchy subject if I remember reading correctly. I would research this subject fully before freezing. Especially if you aren't using CWM Recovery and have a good backup.

Hmmm, havent found it on my Ion, but on my Arc i allways deleted fast dormancy.

I can recover easily enough as I have a firmware to flash, a path to root, and a good ti-backup of my system. However, I do not have anything with the name 'fastdormancy' in it anywhere. I did freeze com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, though but it still appears as a running process even after a reboot.
I've done alot of searching and have not found where anyone has talked about discovering the source of all the wakeups that prevent the ION from sleeping much.

Haven't had a chance to view this yet. Might be helpful?

Well, I just froze the service and then removed the .apk - will test the rest of the day to see how it impacts sleep and wake locks.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

If I'm not mistaken isn't that fast dormancy just related to network? Get juice defender pro and set it to only use your data on specific apps when you open them or at intervals to check for emails and so on else data is off. It helps a lot when data isn't on all the time or going from 4g to 3g and none and so on, xda has a video talking about the good and bad of stopping fast dormancy and what its for to fully understand what you're doing
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Yes. It is completely related to network. It affects battery because it it constantly checking signal even while data is off. The only way to stop it from waking and checking signal is to put the phone in airplane mode or delete the apk. AFAIK anyhow. I'm testing it now. So far so good. Real world testing is always a good thing.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Ur network provider has to support fast dormancy. Otherwise, it will cause high battery drain.

I've removed it on my s and can't really tell any difference.

[Q] Battery Drain. Media Server NO SD card, Android System

So im getting some battery drain here and this phone is just 4 days old. I know time doesnt matter but im just saying ive given the battery some time to get better with the charges. First day i had to charge it twice, same with second day. Third day i disabled the CDMA/LTE radio and i had to briefly charge it.
Now today its been up for about 13 hours and its at 20% with mid-heavy usage. I dont think the battery is bad but i think IT COULD DO BETTER for a 2100mAh battery. Today i accidentally (from 8 am to 4 pm) ran with the CDMA/LTE setting on then i changed it to CDMA ONLY but battery was pretty much slightly better... I live in Puerto Rico so we are getting the new LTE Vision antennas soon here (decem 16. CANT WAIT) throughout the whole island
Something is weird... the first two days i noticed the battery drain so i noticed the SD card media server corrupt file bug but heres the thing... i took out my SD card and the media server process is still there :/ Shouldnt it have stopped? There is no more SD card for there to be a corrupt file problem. Also why is the Android process so high up on the list? should be about 85% screen and 15% the rest...
Any ideas why or who could be the culprit? I apologize for not using BetterBatteryStats as i havent purchased it and dont really intend on spending time on it. I love my phone just fine and i would hate to have to root it and install CM10.1 because i dont want to deal with updating my device every week because im OCD about updates.
Suggestions?
PS: i also run google now and Maps for latitude because i like sharing with my friends my location. Is latitude responsible for the whole Maps app battery usage? Is there a way for me to reduce it without manually having to update my location? Like in longer automatic intervals. Would disabling "report from this device" and "location reporting" turn off the latitude location sharing ?

unfortunately not, both are located somewhere inside the /system folder
as for BetterBatteryStats, there should be a thread here with an XDA version which is free for members
lastly, the 12/16 LTE launch is only for the south of the island, or so they've advertised (I could use it in Hato Rey, I've only gotten 1x for the past month and a half)

I know but wishful thinking about the LTE. Heard it should be island wise by February.
So I guess rooting is the best way to get rid of these Battery problems but then even if I stay on the stock ROM I won't be able to upgrade OTA (not that it's been mentioned anyways)
I think I've done my best to reduce the battery drain minus turning off the maps thing
