Now that Android 10 allows Location for apps to be set to "Allow Only When App is Active" it seems like a good permission to use to limit the battery drain sometimes associated with Android System from background GPS.
When I try to set the "Google" app and the "Maps" app to this setting I get a warning that it may stop the app from functioning properly.
Does anyone know if its OK to use this setting for those two apps on my S9?
Thanks.

From what I've noticed is if you close out maps. It has to relocate you. As for Google apps I would assume personalised services such as weather and stuff will be inaccurate I may be wrong as I've not tried on Google app but in would assume

I'm running CM 6.1 Stable. I have two apps installed that I have configured to provide me with background notifications: reddit is fun and Foursquare. Reddit is supposed to check for new messages hourly and Foursquare us supposed to check for friend updates every 10 minutes. Neither app is functioning in this regard.
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Is there by chance some setting that prevents 3rd party background notifications from working that I may have enabled by accident? Gmail notifications are still working.
I checked my system log for errors or anything unusual while enabling or disabling the Foursquare notification feature and there was nothing that I could see.
Do apps need to have a service running to provide this sort if functionality, or can the Android system simply let apps schedule periodic tasks? I ask because I don't see any services running for these two apps, and if they are required, that would be a problem.
try moving it back to ur phone not ur sdcard......

How can i disable com.google.process.location entirely? I've deleted Network Location system.apk but it still is showing up in the process list. Disabled all the GPS, location tracking and so on, but still keeps starting again.
And btw, is there any way to reduce the gapps size and memory usage?
Keep and Calendar are essential to me, so those 2 i need for syncing and so on..

I think "Pimp My Rom" app has a feature for disable and delete this location process. Take a look at.
Also, I have a question. For example, when I disable this location process, apps like foursquare,etc. can still detect location?

i think yeah, but it depends on internal gps only
Does anybody know a list of pre-installed apps that can be safely "turned off" in our device? This is of course referring to pre-installed apps that can't be uninstalled.
I've read that sometimes turning off certain apparently inoffensive apps may bring instability to the device.
For example, I was just checking my location settings and I saw that AT&T Navigator had been requesting location (with high battery usage), but I don't use that app at all, so I'm plan on turning it off, but I wonder in what other apps that can be done safely.

Generally the asps that allow you to "disable" them are all okay to turn off.

I disabled anything that had to do with att.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
The only thing I've found that I had to enable was S Voice, I kept getting a pop up on the camera because it uses it for the selfie camera trigger.
Same here. Disabled everything AT&T and left S Voice active.
Everything ATT except MyAtt and s voice
I've disabled all att stuff and a few other things like s health, s voice, galaxy apps, Samsung account, Samsung billing, Samsung link, remote, print services, ANT services, milk, yahoo weather
I left S Voice alone (other things make use of it), and also Galaxy Apps (allows you to update S Health)

How do disable the Samsung stuff? I can see how to stop it but I don't see an option to disable or turn off.
Also, anyone knows how to disable Lockout? All the options in app info ate greyed out, even force stop

Awesome, that worked! Weird that you have to update it to disable it
I realize this is an older thread, but for others that stumble upon it via search, here's a discussion that includes an extensive list of apps to safely be disabled.

You can install package disabler pro for a small fee.. great app but be careful when u use their auto bloatware disable feature because it can disable some stuff that your phone needs to function.. but this app let's you disable stuff that is greyed out in your app manager like music player for example.
Here is another list which I have followed. Not all of them, but quite a few. It definitely made a difference.
Now, I think many of those you would need to be rooted to do. And of course we know that's not much good now for AT&T phones.
I'm on a T-Mobile Note 4, rooted, so I was OK to try. I did the TIBU/Freeze method.
Hi, I have GPS disabled but i have everytime in processes the GoogleLocationService and GoogleLocationManagerService always activated, my battery life is really bad (2h/2h30m sot). I tried stock Lollipop, CM12.1 and MM, everytime i had the same issues. Also, in stock Lollipop and stock Marshmallow i have big battery drain from Whatsapp (sometimes about 40-45%). I really love my G4 but i cant charge it 2 times per day
Try a going on safe mode for a full battery day(100 to 0%) if your battery is going better try to delet what's app or just reinstall it
What else might cause the GoogleLocationService to continuously run to provide location information constantly?
Any Google app, download AppOps and it just let you chose what app can use location (it should reduce it).
I have App Ops and i've disabled location for all things but still location activated, about WhatsApp it seems that it doesnt give any problem now. If it can help, i write a list of my installed apps:
AdAway
Facebook
Facebook Messenger
WhatsApp
Hearthstone
Twitch
Quick Boot
Youtube
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Instagram
Root Explorer
Also there are stock cm12.1 apps (i only removed cLock)
Did you try reinstalling the Google location service?
Do you mean the play Services? Yes, i reinstalled like 4 roms. Also i have the same problem with my second phone, a Moto G 4G 2013, i have pretty much the same apps on it...maybe it's a configuration?
Probably when you configure your phone for the first time you press the Google play location (without knowing)
Impossible, i always disable it in the first configuration as i don't really need gps
What happens when you switch off the location
If i interrupt both location services they just restart by themselves
Is your Google map timeline features enable
No
Try booting until safe mode, disable your location and tell me after what happens
I give it a try, but still location activated. I Also tried to enable it and disable again, still no changes :/
You could try this

Yea i did the same thing with system tuner, but i don't want to disable it in this way. Location services are not supposed to be enabled with gps disabled

Is there a list of App permissions that we can set to allow/ignore that improve battery without breaking or messing up our devices?
I've been trying different permission settings for various apps and I keep ending up breaking my phone - such as screen won't wake up, constant crashes etc
Using ResurrectionRemix Marshmallow for my n7105 and want to get the most out of my battery

I dont mess with permissions... I either remove them so they dont waste space or launch.
For the ones I keep, I run minmin and check which apps have adware installed and disable the adware. Then I run disable service, and disable background services that I dont use or are not required by the app to function. Such as analytics on some apps, campaign tracking, widgets I dont use, billing services, app measurement, location for apps that I dont care to have track, wearable, ppl services on selected apps, ads services, notifier service on selected apps, file sender services for selected apps and so on.
Then I use prevent running to stop various user apps and a few system apps from waking up or run in background after 40 seconds or so.
Stopped using greenify and amplify as they used too much CPU cycles.
