Google maps

Does anyone know why google maps always runs in the background.

I have already turned off gps and it still continues to run even after I kill it

It may be in memory but it's very unlikely that it's actually running or using any processing power.

What makes u think that it's still running?

Go to manage applications and force stop. That will stop it until you open the app again.
actually you are better off just using manage apps then atk but I won't start that continuing argument.

When I force stop the app in manage apps it seems to have another app that is turning it back on.
As for the argument over atk. I agree however it just seems easier for me to open atk and kill a group of apps that have started as opposed to going into manage apps and closing them separately. Just a preference I suppose. Neither is really better than the other I guess
Edit: maybe what you said is true. When I use atk to kill maps it seems to turn back on. When I use manage apps it has not turned back on by itself yet. I will keep you posted. And thank you for the suggestion. Greatly appreciated

No problem, glad I could help

Download and run the "Autostarts" program. It will allow you to disable maps (and other apps) from starting when you phone first boots. A lot of apps also are triggered by other events such as "Data state changed".

If you used the app it will show up in the battery usage until you reboot.

Check out os monitor in the market. That'll tell you what's really running. You can sort by load.

[Q] Icons Problem~Help=(

My icon will becomes like this every time I reboot my DHD.Anyone facing the same problem?

Is it a recurring problem? And it's specifically affect certain application? Backup, wipe data, uninstall and restore in TB should do the trick.

It happens when the application is in sd card. Move them to phone memory or just wait for few minutes. They usually come on their own. Happens to my DHD too.

Oops, my bad. The TB method only works for duplicated icon and (some) missing icon cases. Some of the apps are defaulted to move to SD card (large size issue). And yes, normally it will appear after few seconds (minutes) after reboot. I'm not sure how to fix yours.

Ok,I just moved these apps to internal memory,and I thinked the problem solved,so which mean my SD card got problem?

Owh, I get it. The read speed of your SD card is somewhat a bit slow. But eventually the icons will show, right? It only happens when you reboot your phone and it will grab all the data from the SD card after the error check. There's nothing to worry about.

Yup,I have a class 4 SD card ,so should I change for class 10 SD card XD.1 more question,a slow SD card can affect phone performance(overall ) ?

You can use it just fine as is it now. But having a faster SD card will boost the data read and write, plus it will greatly improve application handling in SD card. Video recording in higher definition is made possible and smoother. Photos in the gallery will be loaded faster.

Ok,understood, appreciate for your help bro,thanks!

[Q] missing processes for battery usage

Hey guys, very new to the note 2 here and after I charge to full I only get a few items showing up when I go to
Check battery usage. Gsam shows everything fine but I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on this. It has happened on both Clean Rom and SkyNote. The last time it only showed screen and idle. I wiped and reflashed but it still happens.

It wipes it all when it's fully charged. Try running it down to like 60 or so and see if any other apps show up. My guess is that they are just taking up less that 1% battery over the 3 minutes

Alright I'll let it run down, but it's weird cuz android OS and System are never below 1%, they're usually always there. On Gsam they are showing up. Xda app is there too at 13%

Alright so I found a few threads with the same issue of different roms/phones unfortunately no posted resolution.
Tried wiping caches fixing permissions, uninstalling apps, reflashing the kernel. Nothing had worked until I reset Perseus kernel to default settings and rebooted. Soon as the phone came back I was able to see 8 or so processes and apps were now there like usual.
My settings are back to how I had it before all this started so we will see if it happens again

@ speghead, Yikes, I just lost all items in my battery usage screen except the main graph and hope I don't have to bomb my phone back as far as you did. Will try full drain and full charge first. What other threads did you find for this issue?
Edit:
D'oh! The per-application battery stats came back at the next full charge. On thing that can throw this off is that some battery meters report 100% at a point when the android system does not yet consider it full and if you stop charging at that point the stats may not refresh.

How does one ID what's using bluetooth and causing major battery drain.

Recently it seems that some badly written apps are trying to use bluetooth for beacons and are killing my battery in the process. In the past I found that Gasbuddy was the culprit and could work around the problem by killing it. Now it's happening again, The apps aren't showing up in the battery display but bluetooth keeps popping up as the second largest user of battery. For example, right now my phone has been off the charger for 3 hours and bluetooth is listing 32 minutes of CPU time and 1 Hour 19 Minutes of wakelocks. It never used to even show up on the list.
What tool can I use on a non-rooted phone to identify the app that is hammering bluetooth and causing that kind of usage.
Thanks for the advice,

I don't claim to know best non root or even best rooted rooted solution but I the short time I glanced at Google Play, this one caught my attention: no permissions or ads.

Attached is highest app regarding battery concerns. The Windows drop down but only option given is to uninstall. If there's an auto starts app that doesn't require root, that may be an alternative to add more control to these apps of concern.
I usually just use the Recents/Active applications to see what's active but you're right, there's activity hiding from this monitor. Only some are neglecting permissions.
Gee, I thought someone had said no ads in their review? Adaway adware scan didn't reflect this as a concern. Any doubt why I love root?

I don't know how well it works for non root phones but greenify now has an auto hibernation mode for non root users.

@poit
While looking for an Adaway alternative for systemless root, I came upon an app which produced a link for permissions app and ad blocker; both have no root requirements.

You may have to search for the ad blocker but the permissions app is on XDA

I wouldn't recommend the auto installer unless temporarily enabling it for automated long process. I've used these rooted permissions apps but this one is very simple in approach although I had to ignore a lot of middle risk apps that I trust.
I installed both apps and scanned with no concerns. I'm liking the results so far.

Screen using power when turned off

I've got all gestures and everything else I can think of off, I even disabled "Prevent accidental touches" yet it's still draining the battery fairly considerably
Any ideas?

If your phone is rooted, check your deep sleep time in a kernel manager like mtweaks or ex. If it doesn't go into deep sleep, there's probably a app preventing it. You can probably find it under the battery usage in your settings. If you can't find it try DS battery saver, if that resolves your issue, it's probably an app keeping your phone awake. It also could be the AoD thats keeping it awake, I only know about this problem in custom roms, and I don't encounter it on my phone on OneUI, but this could be an issue aswell.

Not rooted unfortunately, shame they limited access to app usage, I mean even Android battery status has more info
Deep sleep seeems to work, battery drain in the morning is fine, this is through the day

Bit of an update for anyone wanting to see actual app stats, "Accubatttery" still works fine
