Been having a weird issue with my phone lately. I'm rooted, s-off, running stock 2.2, no custom kernel.
Lately what will happen is my phones 3G won't work for loading pages, apps, streaming video as it'll be stuck "uploading". By that I mean the upstream arrow will either stay lit or blink. I've tried to pin point an app that would be doing it with no success. It'll do it for a minute sometimes two then work normally. Seems to happen most often when I wake the phone. Any thoughts?

Hmm, sounds like it might be some app, or service phoning home and hanging. Try using a process manager app to see if you can detect which apps and services are running when your phone is doing that. Try killing all nonessential services, then see if the condition persists. If no, then reactivate one service at a time until it does. If the problem persists after killing all nonessential services, have a look at running processes, and kill any that seem suspicious. Once you know which app, service l, or process is the offending party, try uninstalling the related app.
Hope that's helpful.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

So after a few weeks of trying, killing apps or processes does nothing to stop the issue. Its very random when it happens and when it does I can do nothing that uses 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?

Is there an app that will show what's using my network in real time? Not a stats app but actual, current usage.

Could it be PRL and location based? Starting to get real frustrating.

Sorry you're still having trouble
Hi Phaded,
Sorry that my suggestion yielded no positive results for you. If you've killed all non-essential services and processes, and it's still appears to be "uploading," something is definitely not right. I don't think it's PRL, but I personally don't know enough about how the radio works to say for sure.
At this point, you could try a different ROM. If you don't already have it, I recommend ROM Manager root. It's totally worth the $ and is available on Android Market. It makes trying different ROMs really easy.
Trying a new ROM would also effectively reinstall your radio, which might do the trick. Before you flash a new ROM, do a nandroid backup from recovery, and backup your apps with Titanium Backup, which is another must-have, IMO.
If all else fails, RMA? It could be hardware... A genius with this stuff I am not, but I have beaten my head against many a wall..
Good luck!
I installed Virtuous 3.1 last night and so far so good. Going to keep an eye out for the rest if the day so hopefully it is fixed.

24 hours and no issue with it. This was a multiple time a day occurrence so safe to say it resolved itself.

Congrats Phaded!
Welcome to the ranks of the Virtuous! Glad to hear it's resolved.
Now you've got ROM Manager, you can safely try a host of different ROMs and themes. I recommend the Revolutions theme on top of Virtuous - it's very pretty.

Having same "stuck in upload mode" issue
I have a non-rooted, stock G2 (from T-Mobile) running Android 2.2.
Every day, as many as twenty or thirty times per day, the phone gets stuck in "upload" mode. The data icon shows that data is uploading (or trying to) and I am unable to use any data-related services (whether tethered or on the phone itself). When it happens it can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. The only way I can forcibly stop it is to completely shut down the radio by toggling airplane mode off then on, forcing the phone to reacquire a data signal.
I've tried resetting the phone, deleting every app, reinserting the SIM card, and even formatting the SD card. Nothing seems to work to solve the issue.
My two main concerns are that 1) I can't reliably download apps, check mail, send pics/videos, or other data-related processes. 2) I'm concerned that if something IS uploading, it may be uploading a LOT and adding to my 5GB per month throttle-cap on T-Mobile.
I've ended every endable process, and killed or uninstalled every app possible (I can't seem to remove bloatware without rooting, which I'm not yet eager to do as this phone is less than 60 days old, and I'm otherwise happy with it as is).
Any suggestions or recent information as to why this is occurring?
Anyone else experience this? I'm currently using CM7, but I've seen this across other ROMS and even when stock. Using Google maps even for a second results in it staying open in the background and chewing up battery (I get warnings from Watchdog). I have to use Watchdog to force close the app to fix the problem. Doesn't seem like this should be happening.
Yes, GPS is off. Location by network is on, so maybe that's to blame?
Yeah I turned network location off too and my battery has improved dramaticly. Maps turns on anytime something requires location services ie location based weather services that what my issue was.

But I don't have the problem unless I've actively opened Maps... it doesn't spontaneously open. I also kinda want network location to be on as I find it useful...
Unfortunately this seems to be a fairly common problem on the dinc. Some people have solved it by downgrading maps to an earlier version. I haven't found any other fixes though.

Oh man that's unfortunate. I have no intention of downgrading Maps, that seems like a ghetto fix. I guess I'll just have to be aware of when I use it and make sure I back out of it afterward. Otherwise, Watchdog does a pretty good job of letting me know when it needs to be closed. Just annoying.
I had a similar problem also, not rooted just stock. I had just upgraded to Maps 5.1 from whatever Maps version came with the phone. I found that Maps would be running in the background using 90% of my battery. My solution... Factory Reset... yeah a little much, but I had just got the phone and didn't really care. My phone was acting up all sorts of ways though, missing apps, missing widgets, so I did a factory reset. Now after that I have downloaded the new version of Maps and everything is fine. Hope you figure it out and don't have to do a Factory Reset.
Hi i did an update on the Google maps app a couple days ago and today I noticed that it has been draining quite a bit of battery. Does anybody know something that can fix this issue or do I just have to wait for an update?

Turn off the GPS and exit maps....
Well it never happened before the update and it drains the battery when my phone is in sleep. Also the maps app is not opened.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Just because it isn't currently on your screen doesn't mean it isn't open... It could still be holding a lock... About all you can do is turn off the GPS, and clear its data.... Either use TiBu to clear it's data, or press and hold the maps icon in your app drawer and drag it up to app info, hit clear data and clear cache... and only turn on the GPS if you're using it...
Ok but is there a way to downgrade the version to the previous one?

There's always a way... But it's not as simple as going to the play store and requesting an older version.... If you have the .apk you can replace the current one with an old one, or if you have an nandroid with an old one, you can unzip the nandroid, go to system/apps and get the maps.apk or just flash to an older backup and not update maps...
but that's not going to ultimately fix your issue... i really think it's just holding a lock all the time and it's the gps... which is why i suggessted turning off your gps, and clearing maps data... and if you keep gps on all the time that's pointless, unless you're navigating because apps can get your location pretty accurately based on the towers...

The thing is I've had gps and everything on before the update and it's been getting great battery life. It's only happened since this update. But I will try having the gps off and let you know how it goes.

Which is why I suggested turning off the GPS and clearing maps data... after that, turn it back on if you want, it's the only way to know if it fixes it... just have it off when you clear the data... any issue with a specific app, that's what you do first, clear all that data's memory of anything...
the latest maps update was soft rebooting my dads sensation...
but i know enough from using maps, that if it isnt on your screen (still in background) it DOES drop gps signal, and shouldnt be eating up battery in background.
Try "Autostarts" or something similar and disable maps at startup.

none of these solutions addresses the problem. the update has something that is keeping the phone awake and consuming battery. if I start my phone from OFF and let it sit for an hour, I can look at my battery stats and 10% of it will have been consumed by google maps, without me having ever opened it and without a single GPS query.
Then contact Google about the issue...
Probably Google latitude

Try turning off location services also. I was having issues with my phone properly sleeping and that turned out to be the cause.
The location services was part of my issue. Lowered the batt usage a lot but maps still shows up as a large user of batt.

I went to the apps info and uninstalled the update simple as that.

The latest Google Maps is doing the same thing to my phone. I have always had GPS and location services enabled and it never ate up battery like the new Google Maps version. Turning off the GPS and location services is not an option for me so I will have to wait and see if they have a new update soon that addresses the issue. A big problem is if it cannot get a GPS lock due to poor signal from the satellite it will consume a high battery amount trying to find the signal. For now I am able to charge my phone a little bit in the car to make up for the extra battery use.
I'm really not having these issue and today is a day I'm actually using the maps and GPS... I'll keep looking at it and using and report my results... what ROM is everyone with issues running? Sammy or AOSP and which one?
Stock rooted. But I've reverted back to the older version of maps because of the battery drain

This didn't drain me at all today... I'll post a screenshot in a second... I used the maps for about 20 minutes, sat put for about 30, used for 20 more or so, and have left my phone alone since...
Hi guys, I have this problem since last night. Maps are running in background and there is nothing I can do about it, restarted the phone, pulled the battery for couple of minutes, cleared maps cache and data,force stopped and nothing. Never had problem like this before with any of my phones. The phone is 8 days old and everytging is stock. Thanks

Check if you have your location history enabled on your Google account. I do now, and it causes maps to request a location rather often. The battery life on this phone is good enough for me to leave it on though, I find it useful every now and then

Glad it's working for you! Yeah this whole time I never knew how much GPS use was actually draining the battery. I actually read an article online yesterday that talks about how GPS uses a crap load of battery. As of this morning, I only lost 1% overnight. I have 3 emails syncing, wifi on, rest of the syncs all on, google now off. No power saving apps installed. I know i'm saying this in all battery related thread but i'm super excited just like you and want to share the knowledge to all our Note 2 buddies ^_^
Battery drain <- Maps Always On <- Now <- 4.1.2
I noticed Maps was grabbing about 30% of my battery drain so I set out to figure out the problem. Conclusions are:
- 4.1.2 seems to have changed how location is used. I had Google Now on 4.1 and never had this heavy a battery drain.
- Maps was constantly running with TWO services
- Maps did not have to be open or visible, and reboot had both come back even after stopping services
- Disabling "Google Apps Location Access" solved the drain but this made it basically impossible to use Google Maps, because
- Maps would not use GPS without "Google Apps Location Access" turned on
I considered uninstalling Google Maps but realized that:
> All my favourite locations are on Google Maps
> Other mapping software also seemed to want all sorts of invasive rights, which I was not going to grant
So I:
* enabled GPS
* disabled Google Apps Location Access
* uninstalled Google Search (aka Now) using a 3rd party tool (rooted)
* looked for a new search software (let's face it this isn't really necessary is it?)
* found and installed Yahoo Search which I must say seems faster, more interesting and does not require unwanted access to my private data
Battery drain is back to normal, I have ful search and maps and GPS use.

Let's face it. Google is king of search. And that has spread to other Google uses, maps being a major player. I think Google needs to solve this by fine tuning how and when maps and/or GPS is used. Another big thing is Google needs to fine tune how our phones retrieve data in general. Apple has and is still working on it. Intel is fine tuning it majorly and you can see some of the results on anandtech where x86 and ARM SOC's are compared on windows RT. Randomly retrieving data for all data and apps is a nightmare. It would be nice if we could fine tune our syncs and data retrieval in set intervals or let the OS have a smart system where if x app needs this and it see 3 or 4 or whatever x apps need to retrieve data in the next 20 mins it will retrieve all in one fell swoop causing less wake locks and more idle/sleep time.

I had a similar battery drain problem... ~8% per hour when screen was OFF! Finally solved it by turning off Google Now AND the Location Service it used. I guess the problem is due to location history collection performed for Google Now.

Guys first thing first about battery draining is your mobile network not configure properly.. if its configure the network will not awaken your phone it just need a second to runing in background.. just realize it after I install configuration message from provider.. I drain 1% all over night.. and get 2day standby battery with medium usage.. 10 hours screen.. and leaving the phone with charging all night is weaken your battery.. first time I forget to unplug and everything change.. battery drain 5% after sleep 6hours..and only last for 1 day with medium usage.. 6hours on screen now I dont know how to make it back like it was.. using note for 3weeks anyone knows how to increase batt life without changing rom or kernel ?? Im still runing stock 4.1.1

Dears,
On my op3, which is running with Experience OS and Blue spark Kernel, always the Whats app coming on top of the battery stats even though I opened it less time. It is showing that "Mobile Radio Active" is enabled for hours. I can not switch off the Data while the screen off because it may delay the notifications. I understood that the modem is not disconnecting from data even if the app become not in foreground stage. What ever the app I used for data restriction reduced the Deep sleep time since it were keeping alive in the back end to restrict the data service. Is there any solution to get rid the Mobile Radio Active bug.
No there isn't, it is a known thing since Android Lollipop.

With Whatsapp this is expected. All of Facebooks apps are known to be terrible battery drainers. It is part of the reason that it never took off in the states. Also anything like that will always keep the radio active. It is the nature of the app. As long as you use it then you will get battery drain.

It's nothing Google can do. It is Facebook. The apps is badly coded just like their main app and messenger. As long as you rely on it for messaging (not sure why people do) then you will have to deal with it.

You miss the fact that whatsapp is a facebook app. Owned and written by facebook.
If mobile data disconnects then you would not get notified. Data is how that app works.
If you do some research you will find this to be true.
Again this is how messaging apps work. It doesnt seem like you have alot of experience in mobile OS programming.
My advice would be to use a different app like Telegram. This is what most of the world uses. As to whats app is mainly used in developing countries but not much outside of them.

Yes but if you look closely he is not using the device. And to be honest, I don't think it's real. I have never seen android display something when there is no usage like for the GPS in that screen shot.
I know it can last for days without using it as that is what happens to my device on the weekends. I unplug it sat morning and only use it when someone calls me and I don't have to plug it back in until Monday morning. Mind you that is really not using the phone much at all.
it has got no fix yet. May be this goes away in Oreo.
Sorry if someone has already pointed this before.. But have u tried turning the data saver mode on?
Once ON, make sure you disable unlimited data for Google play services and whatsapp.. (in settings, app, data usage)
I tried it and somehow it worked
