I noticed over the past week or two my battery usage has been very strange. It used to be something like 70%-80% screen and the rest was 3-5% each. Not I'm getting Maps and OS really high, screen not so much. I never use Maps, so I don't know how it's using so much battery, don't have Latitude either.
Also, don't know how Mobile Data has so much (or is even there at all), it's a WiFi only Xoom.
The total life doesn't seem any shorter, but how can I stop Maps from using so much?

Weird... I still have 56% screen, 28% OS, and small amounts of other things. I guess you could turn off your gps and kill maps every once in a while to see if it does anything.
I kill Maps every time I plug it in after seeing this usage, GPS has been off for over a week.
same here, similar numbers - I kill Maps every time but it comes back all the time too.... Any idea how to sort this out?

Hi,
My last charge lasted about a day. That usually what I get out of my battery. But it shows Maps application consumed 43% of battery. I opened map for couple for time only for few mins. Why does it show that high usage under Maps.
On Weapon 2.6.

I always get huge drain from maps. It could be that latitude is constantly searching for your location. I'd try freezing maps with titanium backup or going into latitude and changing the settings properly.
I removed the maps application, drove me nuts. I use CoPilot instead.

Do you use GpsFix to facilitate & speed up your gps satellite fixation ?
if the answer is YES so I'm sorry that you have to remove it now.
As the program in its update became a spam, putting an ad on the home screen as reported by users.
But the problem with me was a whole different story, more annoyingly critical.
I'm usually not connected to internet turning off my my mobile data, lately my phone (HTC DESIRE S) became crazy with its screen turning on & off by itself frequently draining my battery in horrible manner.
After days of searching for the cause with removing a lot a lot of programs till i knew the cause (thank god before factory data resetting) that was the GpsFix.
The good thing that every thing works normal again.

Here's some more from today
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I don't think you're having any. When your screen is off, you're device is going to sleep (notice the power drain almost levels off when the screen is off). When the screen is on, your network signal isn't very good. If you were making calls, or sending text's (those don't use wifi) that kind of battery usage isn't terrible.
Both cases have around 9 hours of time unplugged, and it looks like the phone as the screen on and is being used for like 4-5 of them, maybe a bit less, and you're at around 40% battery? That doesn't seem abnormal. Battery testing for the One X shows about 10 hours of talk time, 5 hours of web browsing, 6 hours of video.
It seems like all of a sudden my Nexus 5 has decided that whenever I have Bluetooth turned on that it is holding the device awake. Even when no devices are connected (connects to my car and a BT speaker).
I'm sure it didn’t used to do this.
I did a factory reset about 4 months ago.
Because of the hold awake battery life is down compared to normal.
Below are some screen shots for reference :

Then from GSAM:
You can see that BT sharing takes up a non-trivial amount of power. I'd like to get this thing back to normal.
Fully patched firmware, including today's Security patch.
I'm currently working around this by turning BT on only when I want to use it. That is a pain.
I'm seeing the same thing today... I could see my battery drop 10% in under an hour, with BT at the top of the battery list. Says my 60% remaining battery will last 3 hours
Any update on this? Having the same issue...
Hi , need some help figureing out what is the cause of the high drain. Please also see attached pictures. I noticed that on full charge.. the phone does not last even 6-7 hours. So i installed wakelock detector and it shows that the phone is awake 99% of the time.
just an hour ago my battery was at 50% now now it went flat and switched off. this is weird

Problem is that i am not able to find out what is the app that is causing it. Recently all i did was to install magisk on my phone, could this be the reason?
So far this are the sets i have done:
set phone to power saving
close location
restrict data for google play, google services
optimize apps to save power all time
bring phone brightness all the way down and remove auto brightness
no sync
So any help would be much appreciated. this started happening a week ago.
Do an Factory Reset and see if it helps.
