any ideas? no issues with my 2xl, same apps installed with my 3xl. I've checked the location settings for recent requests and haven't found anything out of the ordinary. maps, phone, etc. even tried disabling them briefly but it's still there
Yeah, seems like its doing the same thing on my 3XL... I don't remember that the first few days. The good thing is it doesn't seem to have affected my battery life.

I had the same thing on the Pixel 3 and it turned out one of my running apps was looking for location in the background. Even though you installed the same apps some of the default settings might not have carried over or have been changed.
my battery life seems ok, and like I said checking the location requests doesn't yeild anything out of the ordinary. revoking location permission doesn't seem to fix it either, so I'm not sure what's going on
Mine did it on the second day I had the phone. I toggled Location services off, and then back on again, and haven't seen it since. That was about two weeks ago.
My Pixel 3 has done the same a couple of times. Toggling Location in quick settings has made it go away. Seems an app sets it and doesn't unset it. Haven't identified which one yet.

I think you are correct. I seem to recall that I went into Better Battery Stats and looked at one of the statistics such as network use or partial wakelocks. It was then identifiable, went into the app and turned off location sharing. It never came back. This is not a function of the Pixel 3 but of some rogue app.

Not really blaming the Pixel, but I just migrated from a Galaxy S7 and never saw this with the same apps I'm using on the Pixel. Could be the Pixel, or Pie, is more informative about displaying that icon, which is probably a good thing. In any case finding the apps responsible is the key.

Did you turn off network location aka fine location? That will do it, the Google app weather feed then locks location on. Took me three months on my 2 xl to figure it out.

no, I want that active and has always kept it active. has never caused the icon to stay on all the time
If you are using the Google app beta that might be your problem I had the same issue I removed the app rebooted reinstalled the Google app non beta version all is well now
It's the Google app causing it if you have the beta version of the Google app installed. The location icon shows any time you go home from using an app. I rolled back to the stable Google app because I got tied of it. Now I no longer have the problem. Try it. Go to your Google app and turn off location for it and see if it helps. That was what caused it on mine.

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.
I get this notification that says it's downloading. But when I go to app info. It's from downloads instead of the Play Store. I don't know what it is. When I disable the app. Everything stops working; Play store, Chrome, Facebook, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

I didn't download anything. I noticed it on my way home. It initiated randomly. And it won't finish, or even stop. It isn't showing in the downloads either.
****edit
I found it in the downloads a couple hours after the problem started. I don't have a full solution, which sucks.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.
I'm experiencing this exact problem, also initiated on its own. I uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook but that did not affect the perpetual downloading of this. Nor have several phone restarts, etc.

solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.
Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?
I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.
Does anyone here use the live weather lockscreen wallpaper? It only started giving me issues just a few days ago (I've used it for months without a hitch). It seems that it simply won't update the location, even though I have location set to high accuracy. The weather widget is updating its location just fine.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what to try to get it working again? I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest LP update to OF1...
Edit: Followup - I gave up trying to avoid a factory reset and just went ahead with it. It's working now as expected. I've no idea what caused the problem, but I suspect I deleted some files I shouldn't have. Hope this helps someone else if they so happen to also use this feature and it stops working.
Update: Yeah, I spoke too soon. It's definitely one of the apps on my phone interfering with it, as it worked for about 24 hours after the FDR. My guess is a recent update to one of Samsung's apps may be disrupting it. The investigation continues (for as long as I have interest in trying to fix this).
Any idea of where else to look? Is there an easy way of finding out when exactly each app was last updated or installed?

I recently have the same issue. ES File Explorer has a way to view installed apps and sort by most recently modified. It's on the lefthand pop out menu under library. Curious to know what you find out and if it's truly a recently updated app causing the issue. Note I can manually make it work by manually resetting the lockscreen wallpaper, but it only updates once, then stuck again.

So I'm not going crazy! Glad to know I'm not the only one. This also works for me, and only once. You can also force close the Live Weather app or reboot the phone and have the same effect.
I'll see what I can find from ES when I get the time and report back. Thanks for the info!

Hard to believe we're the only ones experiencing this. Your post was the only recent hit I got on Google (that's why I joined this forum). Sure tons on how to get the location settings right to work correctly with the lock screen weather wallpaper but that's old news. If it's any help I have the latest Verizon OTA update OF1 on Note 4 as well and keep my apps updated weekly. But I just got this issue maybe Sunday 8/9? Or at least that's when I guess I noticed.
That's true - perhaps many don't really care enough to pursue fixing this issue, too. Hehe
There was a recent update for the VZ note 4 - now the build ends in OG5. Hasn't fixed the issue to no surprise. It was mostly a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability from what I gathered.
I tried disabling the Samsung Push Service app yesterday, no change in lockscreen behavior so that app can be checked off. I'm trying not to go crazy with disabling a bunch of apps all at once, and my free time is also limited. This will be a long and grueling process...
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I also was hoping the recent security OTA update would fix this but no joy. Just FYI I stumbled on an app that does nearly the same thing, Weather+ by Lalaworks. It's in the Play store. I installed on my Tab Pro since that didn't have weather lockscreen built in. You might want to check it out in the interim. A bit of hefty ram usage but that's the price for eye candy I guess.
I just tried a factory reset again yesterday with a minimum installation of apps. No luck again. I did go bloatware-disable happy though. I have nearly 40 apps disabled. I did try re-enabling all apps for a bit a couple of weeks ago though, which didn't seem to make a difference anyway. I *might* try a 3rd reset tonight and leave all bloatware (minus DTIgnite and VZ Protection) enabled for a day and see where that takes me.
After that, I'll throw in the towel. I can't really see the apps I have disabled now interfering with the wallpaper, especially when they were disabled for months on end with proper operation. Thanks for an alternative solution, will have to check that out.
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
The verdict isn't out yet on Weather+ for me. Seems to work okay but no lock screen notifications, at least I can't find that setting in the app. Don't want to have to find another 3rd party app to get Lollipop lock screen notifications back. Ugh! We may have to wait for the L 5.1 or M update I fear.
@imamax, you mentioned you noticed this starting around 8/9. Did you update to the OF1 build around that time?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Unfortunately no, I did that update 7/19.
Interesting my wallpaper did change on its own tonight. Just once so far. Weird the pic from Flickr says Berkley... I'm in Massachusetts and weather widget location is correct. Updates from Play Store tonight were Facebook, Google Play Games, Angry Birds Friends, Netflix. Something to chew on.
Huh, interesting. Did you happen to reboot your phone recently, prior to that happening? Do you have the wallpaper set to update over WiFi only?
I just did one final factory reset, and installed no additional apps. I disabled "DT Ignite" and "Support and Protection" and It seems like the lock screen wallpaper was changing overnight while I stayed put. We'll see if it updates now that I'm going to work...
Nope no reboot and no WiFi only. Still stuck on same screen this morning though. We'll see what happens today.
Kind of a long shot but...do you use any sort of security lock on your phone? I use the fingerprint scanner on my lock screen. I wonder if security is somehow affecting the live weather app's access to changing the wallpaper... It's a far-fetched thought but so far the screen hasn't updated for me since early this morning.
Nope. No PIN, no finger scan, nothing. Just swipe and unlock.
I've had DT ignite dialed for a while and VZ Protection was update 7/3. No change all day so far.
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
Oops meant disabled not dialed.
I succumbed to doing another reset, just so I could restore a backup from a couple of weeks ago rather than manually download all the apps I once had again. Interestingly the lockscreen updated itself once within the hour after setting it as the wallpaper after the reset, but hasn't updated since. I'm out of ideas. I also kept DTIgnite running overnight. That's being disabled now...
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Alright, a little update. I exchanged some posts with Verizon on their forum, and they *might* look into it. It must be a bug with the latest software updates, or something on Yahoo's end. But a coworker here uses the wallpaper with no problem on his ATT Note 4...
Is there anyone else out there on here using the Wallpaper on the OG5 or OF1 builds??
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I am using the Note 4 on at&t (SM-910A) and am experiencing the same problem. It seems to have begun malfunctioning after the stagefright fix. City images no longer load, and it does not update periodically anymore (only after restarting the phone). Thought about factory reset but haven't done so yet. I tried clearing caches (including android system cache), disabling reenabling; everything aside from factory reset. No dice. Hoping the 5.1 update provides a fix.

Swift dark with fuchsia accent.
Do you have a weak mobile signal when you are on wifi? I think Google changed the default to be keeping mobile data on even while WiFi is on in 8.1. For me, i have crap mobile signal at my wifi location, so the scanning for a signal might drain my battery. You can change the setting in developer options. Have no idea if it will help though...
I am on 8.1 since 3 days (not rooted), on full charge I have got 7 hours SOT consistently... dont think so the drain has anything to do with 8.1 update..
pls check ur apps
Go into settings/Google/instant tethering and see if it's on. That being on killed my battery life...
I have noticed quite a bit of battery drain since activating the Pixel visual core. .. definitely noticeable loss of battery and especially on the camera.

If my memory serves me right, it's com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService.apk for the RCSService
This tells the phone to uninstall said apk for that specific user. And not the entire system. Which root is needed for.
Be mindful. These can come back after a factory reset.

Thanks a lot... Was hoping I didn't need to get on a PC. I feel like we're in a day and age with Android where this shouldn't be necessary.
I discovered an option in developer settings where it seems "keep mobile data on " whole on wifi which I am hoping is the culprit to my battery issues.
It def drops faster since 8.1 not like what the OP is talking about, but over night it uses hardly anything then I can use it half the next day pretty much

on 8.0 i regularly used to get 6.5 to 7 hours SOT, on 8.1 its come down to 5.5 to 6 hours SOT
"Google has stopped" messages are driving me mad, had it for quite a while and assumed a fix would roll out as I report it every time.
Have tried Force Stop and clear cache and data on every Google app I can find, including Chrome.
One of the solutions I saw online was a factory reset, but rather try everything else first.
Anyone had the same and resolved it without a factory reset?

Fwiw was working fine the other day and nothing major had been updated, infact the only updates were Google drive and calender two days ago so not sure what's caused it.
Same issue here after updating to MIUI 9.6
I've been having the exact same error ever since I updated to Android Oreo a few days ago but on a Redmi 5 Plus device :/
same issue
only i haven't done any update as I was running on mobile data only. reported to miui but they want additional information because they cannot reproduce the issue
Excluding Google app from battery saving should solve this issue, at least for me it worked!
Hi, which Google app exactly, half my problem is I don't know which "Google app has stopped", what needs to be changed?

I don't use that app and my Battery Saving mode is off above 60%.
Just got another Google has stopped as I type and charge on 96%, so I don't know whats causing this.
Uninstall the updates to Google app. Something is causing this, I was getting this on Pixel Experience 8.1 as well, until I rolled back to prior version. Same for Android Messages, screen would just flicker black and would not open app properly until i rolled back to previous app version.
