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

If you have root try this in your terminal:

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

In better battery stats, what is *overflow*

My nexus is getting absolutely killed battery wise, and the partial wakelock is mostly with this *overflow* service/process. Does anyone know what it does and how to get rid of it?

Nobody knows?

Maybe an app you've installed? Look for it on settings. It should be there.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Type "overflow betterbatterystats" into google and the second and third links may help you.
They are talking about an app causing it but I'll leave you read it yourself.

Yep I did the google thing. nobody really knows.

Try eliminate apps one by one.
Freeze one, see if it is the cause, if not then move on to the next.

Afraid so.
But at least in the future when someone searches for overflow your solution will be there for them! Good deed for the day!

Did you get anywhere with this? It looks like I'm having the same issue too. I've only got a few apps installed on many sgs 3.
ics browser +
Spotify
G strings (music tuner)
Color note
Beautiful widgets.
Thanks.

Same here. I get this issue from time to time with my galaxy nexus. I have to reboot to get it to go away.

Ist it possible that lightflow is The Bad app .
It will logical. Cause the wakelocks are everytime when a message is coming in lightly send a command to the light notification to go on.
I think that's the app in my wakelocks.
I ll try it out.

I have the same entry with overflow on my galaxy s3. but from the list 3 posts up I only habe Beautiful widgets installed. and many other apps. I haven't installed lightflow.

I've not had this return after removing beautiful widgets. My only other offender for random high battery usage is a gtalk process, which I understand is related to google sync rather than the app itself (which has since been removed).

today I have the "overflow" process since many days back. The last weeks I had not this issue. Today I updated many apps in the market and remove "google googles".
And now, there it is. the "overflow" process is back.
Beautiful widgets is no more on my phone. I use now fancy widgets and many other programs.
I think this is a sporadic problem. I reboot my phone and looks forward.

Reboot doesn't help to remove :crying:
Why the hell the process is back.

i have the same with S3, any updates ?

not on my side.
the android 4.1 is out. but at this time only on kies. I have'nt try it out. but i think it is an user installed application that goes to "overflow"
it looks like the battery live time is the same without the overflow, so i ignore it

Have you tried posting here?

I'm fairly convinced it was Beautiful Widgets causing my problem.
I also found Samsung Sync was an offender for increased battery usage, disabling it has increased battery life from 2 and a bit days to 3 and a bit.

[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 ?

Do you delete or rename gsiff Daemon and qosmgr? Also deleting a program called android.apps.providers or something like that helps. Might be drm related

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

Turned off automatic location settings because this is insane. And screen brightness is set to automatic. At this hour it shouldn't be too bright.

[Q] Android OS and Android System battery usage

Was wondering where everyones battery usage was sitting at for these two services. Mine are both constantly on top and i cant figure out why. Anyone have this same problem or is this the new norm?

I had same issue for a day...I just went through all my apps that may be refreshing or syncing and turned everything off that I didn't need. I do have my weather widget on lock screen refreshing every hour but it doesn't seem to effect my battery at all. I'd say something is running in the background

Same issue I had with my S4 once updating to KitKat and unfortunately, It's basically the same on the Note 4.

These are always near the top now with Kitkat. Was the same on my Note 3.

Ive been having the Android System / OS problem...battery life has been terrible lately. I have no clue why....any ideas guys?

I had this problem too, for me it turns out to be caused by the phone hanging while syncing.
Go to Settings > Account > Google > (your account) and check if there is a syncing symbol that is persistent (like it will just not disappear after a couple minutes). If your case is like mine, that's what is keeping your phone awake and reducing your battery life. For me, I removed my Google account then re-added it just to make sure it was that one thing hanging (which in my case was Google Play Movies & TV), and when the results were the same, I unchecked the culprit and my battery life returned to normal.
I don't know why Google Play Movies & TV hangs when syncing for me, but since disabling sync for it I've had no other issue with my battery life.
Hope that helps
