Maybe a rouge app that can modify system settings?
Settings > Apps > Settings cog (top right) > Modify system settings
Also look at the apps that can access your location.
Turn off the permission for apps that don't need it.
Apps like GSam Battery Monitor might actually tell you what app is using you location.

Same issue here when I installed MapMyRide. It's been 'secretly' polling my location even though GPS is off!

Pics don't work.
It is probably a rogue app.
Download a free app from market

If your looking for applications to see if apps are taking cpu cycles there is an android info app in the market that can show you all processes and cpu cycles...looking for something that stays near the top and thats probably the issue. Also make sure that you have google now disabled, NFC, and geolocation if you dont check in everywhere. These are built in "very nice" features but they constantly pull your phone out of deep sleep on the move...and god knows we all want 2 hours screen time :highfive:

High usage of "Stay awake" in Android OS under Battery settings.

Can you guys please post screenshots of how much battery Stay awake is eating in your system? I am running stock right now. No root, no mods. Should my phone "Stay Awake" this long when my screen is off ? Is 24% use of Android OS normal? This was overnight.
Thanks.

On my phone, if I have Google Now setup it drains my battery like crazy. Seems like it wakes it up very frequently to get location data.
So if you setup Now, that could be a cause.

I have that enabled as well, but never had this issue using GNex. I googled this issue and many suggested to install better battery stat to figure out what exactly is keep it awake. Will post the results when it collects more data and when I have the culprit.

Battery partial wake lock draining my battery

Hello,
Is there a way to stop the battery drain by disabling networklocationlocator wakelock? The location settings in Maps app are all disabled but it's still happening. Thanks!

Try reinstalling maps. Never seen this before if automatic location reporting is disabled
I have the same problem and I haven't found away to get rid of it even reinstalling it.
In location services turn off "use wireless networks" setting and see if it help.

10147 app in data usage

I was just checking out my data usage and there is a 10147 with almost 3 gigs and I can't find any info on it. There's no app settings button at the bottom, no corresponding app. I haven't rooted yet, but I'll try and search in the for system to see what I can find but does anyone have any idea what it is?

What do you do most on your tablet? surfing the web?
I find that as a wakelock on my phone all the time
Web/apps I am constantly trying out apps then uninstalling them also constantly on the web. And I don't ever let the screen lock so I don't know if it's preventing anything.

Looks like a PID, what does the output of:
Code:
ps |grep 10147
...yield in a terminal?

Battery life seemingly worse even when not in use

My oneplus 3 seems to now lose battery during the day even if I don't use it all day (screen off).

Any ideas what could be eating up my battery? Looking at the battery usage, I don't see anything that jumps out, but it looks like a pretty steady decline.
Perhaps I inadvertently changed some setting?

could be ur location running in the background from google maps, u can download wakelock detector if u r rooted and that will show u what is running in the background causing battery drain, b/c u should be going into doze or download betterBatteryStats
Thanks. I did some more research, and looks like something is waking up my phone. The phone has been on my desk, not in use. So I don't think it's the fingerprint sensor.
This shows something waking my phone. From about 8 am onwards, the phone wasn't being used.

Yes your android system and play service wake your device
You can try factory reset as well
