Hello,
I have a Nexes S since about a month, and in this period, I noticed that Google Maps have a strange behavior: whenever I run a task manager, I find Google Maps process active and if I kill it, after a few minutes it became newly active.
Also in battery consumption screen of Nexus S menu, I can read tath Google Maps is always around 20% of total battery consumption.
Is this behavior normal?
Is there a manner to limit Google Maps Activity?
Thanks.

Which version of gb are you using? On 2.3.2 there were issues with latitude, if you were signed in then it would drain battery life but the 2.3.3 update supposedly fixed this issue.
Also, if you after using location based stuff I'm pretty sure it uses maps to determine where you are. Therefore fc won't work as it will just open again.

I'm sorry,
I have gb 2.3.3. I'll try to logoff from latitude.
For what it's worth, my battery dropped from about 35% to 10% overnight last night, and I'm not sure why. I did notice that Google Maps was listed as taking up 23% of my battery. I'm on 2.3.3 also.
Uninstall the updates and install again.

Ever since the 5.1 update to Google Maps there's a permanent service which will run (and restart if you attempt to kill it). However, if you are not signed into Latitude it should use little to no battery. It doesn't even appear on my Battery Use list if I haven't used Maps.
I recommend never staying signed into Latitude. It will destroy your battery due to the constant GPS and data updates.
I haven't completely figured this out yet so you'll need to be patient with me.
Basically there was a new update for Es Task Manager which made it a whole lot more advanced, giving you control over not just running tasks but what tasks autostart at startup etc.
Anyway, i was playing around with it and decided to kill everything that i dont use and prevent it all from restarting for a laugh. The one thing i added to the "ignored list" - a list of apps that it never kills - is adw launcher.
Now im not sure which particular task it is but there must be some piece of LG software which is seriously eating up the battery because with all the ancillary background crap killed and just usual phone use (calls, texts, emails, some browsing, one or two photos and a pair of short 1080p 2D videos) and then a whole nights sleep with 3g on the whole time i have mamanged to retain 71% of the battery after 16 hours, 56 minites abd 30 odd seconds.
Im gonna investigate it more to find out what i did but so far this looks promising in helping fix this horrible battery life some of you have been getting.

Most LG apps are blockable, latest update however made com.lge.omadclient (the update checker) semi unblockable but blocking that breaks settings app so have to live with it until that's fixed.
But yeah, seems weird that the phone uses 2/3 of the power that the screen requires for Phone idle (% used divided by time) guessing there are a lot of things that currently are using too much juice from the battery for no reason, hopefully this will change with CM7
Third party apps can still access the setting even when the settings app itself force closes. I had to find a way around that previously when i removed the fonts app and discovered that display settings no longer worked. Most of the "battery optimization" apps allow you to change most of the settings you might need to if any part of the menu becomes innaccessible.
I noticed that omadclient seemed to be running forever and not achieving anything. Also com.lge.hiddenmenu is a suspect for using a bunch of battery.
Im hoping that some serious efficiencies can be discovered with the wifi adapter too cuz it seems to absolutely ruin the battery life even when just idle.

If you guys have background **** that wants to sync the whole time on the web....doesnt juice defender ultimate help? Its supposed to only grant internet access to all apps on a user definced time frame? (every 30mins for example)
I figured that default email app consumes too much battery and data with activesync. I deleted my corporate account and battery improved at least three times

I normally turn off 3G unless im actually using it, i fire it on selectively to check mail and google something. Old habits. Recently i have been leaving it on but the only things i have running that update are facey and gmail. Im convincee there is some other background process running that doesnt need to be.

I am on V10F today. I got the update yesterday night.
I have unplugged my phone at 07:20 this morning. I have made some calls, recived and sent a couple of texts. 3G data was always on, FB, Google+, Twitter, Gmail, Market, Weather App were always syncing. I have played a couple of games. Some surfing etc. It was a very ordinary day for my phone.. It is 22:44 now and I have 61% battery left. I think it is doing quite good.
I am using Automatic Task Killer and deleted my corporate e-mail account from the phone. E-Mail app of LG is a true disaster. Havent tried Touchdown yet, probably it will solve the case.

Screen brightness is always automatic.
Today, I have 77% battery left and it has been 7 hours after unplugging.
Data, 3G and Sync was always on. I havent played any games yet but used 3D camera which also consumes a lot.
I've got something incredible for me:
2 days, 2 hours, and 44 minutes. And I still have 8% remaining:
Details:
- Default launcher.
- 3G always off.
- Wireless is one when needed, first day it was on for about 4 hours of usage, and the second day for about two hours. During that time Sync is on, checking emails, using twitter app, reading Whatsapp messages, surfing by Tapatalk, youtube 3D, and downlading some videos.
- Taking some 3D pictures and some 2D/3D videos.
- Showing off 3D videos for friends.
- Playing a little bit 2D games before sleeping, about half an hour.
- Using TwinPic app and viewing 3D pictures.
- Receiving and making some calls.
Note that I have 14 3D app,42 default app, and 120 downloaded apps.
What helped me is Advanced task killer app, I used this configuration:
- Auto kill level: Aggressive.
- Auto kill frequency: When screen is off.

hey guys,
i made the experience, that the LG battery widget is one of the major problems for me. I just deactivated that and couldn't believe that this helps so much.
would be nice if you could test it for you and share your experiences.
check if there is a battery widget running. usually they drain battery. have optimus 3d and with everything off (wifi, bt, gps, no sync, no email, no skype, default task manager shows 0 apps running) from durning 8 hours of standby mode got from 90% to 6%. charged till 97% unplugged from socket in 20mins lost 3% battery. after 2 hours 50 was left.
removed LG battery widget from the desktop. charged back to 100%, unplugged. 2 hours passed: 99%.
seems that was the issue. hope it helps someone
I'm running V10D. Normal calls, text, browsing a bit... Here is my battery usage:

Because I want GPS to be ready when I do open a nav app. And I am curious if there's a way to tell what is using it.
Go to menu-system apps-running...
List all you have running when you see that gps symbol. My guess is that you may be signed into google latitude.
If it is latitude, go to google maps, settings, and somewhere in there is an option to sign out of latitude.
Its not latitude. Google sets GPS to sleep when apps are running in the background. Third party developers aren't as good as Google.
Anyone have a real answer and not a guess?
Searched very long for a solution and it was quite hard to find the solution working without root, so I'll post it here:
Get the app "GSAM Battery Monitor" from Google Play, on GSAM's start screen select "Application Usage",
then on top of the screen select to view the used GPS time.
Well, this doesn't show which app is using GPS right now but you can see how much time each app actually activated GPS since the last battery charge, so this is very helpful to determine the apps using GPS in the background.
Hi
Even if your gps is turned on, it dosen't necessarily means that gps is being used. Use Spare Parts app from play store and it'll show you what all apps used gps since you last plugged in your phone charger. And yes, don't use this app while your phone is being charged...otherwise the readings gets resetted.
Also, the android os uses gps continually, like the camera app, gallery app etc.

Today something odd happened, all of a sudden Google Search has become a huge battery hog! I really can't imagine why. I was working for 15 hours today, and it rarely got used. I have about 2.5 Hours of screen-on time over 14.5 hours, which used 33% of my battery(or is it 33% of battery used? I have never been sure). In that time, Google Search used a whopping 25%! How can Google Search use almost as much juice as 2.5 hours of screen time? Surely there is something going on but I don't know how to track it down. I even turned both Location and GPS off most of the day after noticing this. Can anyone help? I have attached a couple of screenshots that might help people who know more than me.
Disable "HotWord detection' aka "Okay Google" in Google now settings.

disable GOOGLE now or freeze it with titanium backup
I have seen mine do the same thing. The culprit I had was that Google now was stuck and would not finish refreshing. A restart fixes this. Try refreshing Google now by swiping down and if the bars just keep going like its trying to refresh then that's the issue.

The issue with this draining your battery is that you have location turned off, if you turn it on and leave it on you will not get the battery drain. With it off Google search is constantly looking for the location and cannot find it which is what is draining your battery. Had this issue and once I turned on location and left it on, no more drain. Hope this helps!
there is no end to this !!!! (-_-)
i am carrying my old nokia phone , instead of this Nsh!t , :crying::crying:
Just reboot the phone, rarely that can happen with every app
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
You can also just force stop it once you notice it.
it's the crap location functionality of google now, it wake up your phone to get your GPS position at every 5min, then use this location history to show google now cards.
Just go to "apps > google settings > location > google location reporting" and disable both options, this will stop tracking your position and will save a huge battery. If you don't use google now, disable it too to save even more battery
so I decided to charge my phone fully then leave it alone for 12 hours to see the standby drain, and This morning when I took a look and I was pretty disappointed. I attached pics, but as you can see, 12 hours of standby and 30 percent of my battery is gone. wtf? another time I did this a week ago with only 8 hours of standby, it drained 20 percent, which if scaled to 12 hours will become 30 percent. Why is the drain so high? Google play services is at the top of the list, and even with normal use it takes about 10 plus percent of my battery. my friends nexus 4, with basically the same apps I have (fb, messenger, Chrome, snapchat, bbm, etc) only had 10 percent after 12 hours. both our phones have the battery saving location enabled, radios on, but the only difference is that he wasn't connected to WiFi and I was. any suggestions? And yes I've looked around on the Internet at other people having the same problem and I still haven't found a fix
Lol sorry I forgot to add the pics in the first post
It's the WiFi. I had the really bad battery drain issue while connected to WiFi after the 4.4.2 update. I lost about 30% of charge after 4ish hours while connected. Currently I'm at 92% after 3 hours.
Try disconnecting from WiFi and redoing your test!

I haven't used WiFi at all today, my phone had been unplugged since 6 am and at 1pm today it's down to 57 percent. I have hardly used my phone today and the play services are killing it.
I think WiFi was my issue actually, I have kept it off all day and after 2.5ish hours I'm down to 72 percent battery, with an hour of screen on and using Google search quite a bit. the screenshot has screen and Google search at the top, Google play services hasn't been up in double digits at all

On your first screenshot Google play services consumed 34% out of 30% of your total battery loss, which is approx. 10% of your full charge. Within 12 hours this would be a 0.85% battery drain per hour because of gp services.
I did the math again for the second screenshot and Googe Play services consumed 0.7% per hour.
Doesn't feel like a big difference for me. If the time was actually less than 2.5 hours the drain could be equal.

Google Now will still function. It just will not show cards based on location. Also when you disable or semi disable location sometimes Search start's keeping you're phone awake trying to find some location information. If this happens just force stop Google search or reboot the phone.

Weather will still work you just need to input you're location into the card settings manually. I used that for a while but it consistently wakes the phone to update it which annoyed me so I use Dashclock as it only updates when I turn the screen on.
Without Locations it will still grab information from the net about your searches, sports teams, stocks etc. It will no longer show you commutes, local picture spots etc.
I've kept Google Now on mainly so I can still set and receive reminders but don't want to tolerate any unnecessary wakes when the screen is off and have accomplished that now.

Not necessary to go that extreme.
I had the same issue as you guys after upgrading. Goto Settings->App->All
Select Google play services. Stop it. And clean data (All, including cache)
Reboot. And voila, it will consume much much less battery (Dont ask me why... Probably some conflict arising on the data file after upgrade)
On a side note, without completely disabling data location, it is worth switching to the battery friendly mode (Location will be evaluated using the network and not the GPS)

I wasn't going to disable it, I was just wondering what would happen if I did
also here are my stats from today, what is android system and android os? why are they draining so much battery? also why is Swype using so much battery?
Researched this a lot, found some solutions, bad and good fixes and after trying some different twists on it after two days this is what I found to be the best, and I decided since this is just as bad as 4.0/4.1 and the mediaserver battery drain I might as well try and help at least 1 person by mass posting this reply I wrote else where to other threads, so here you go:
"Hey- I don't know if you, or anyone else has found a working solution, but here is the way I found best:
Note- I am on galaxy s4 [sgh-i337] running a 4.4 KitKat rom. I have found the following work around to work best for me:
1 Google now & Hotword detection=OFF,
2 GPS = OFF and turned on only when needed, eg maps/checkin on facebook/whatever needs location.
3 Settings-> Manage Apps -> Google Play Services -> Manage Space -> Clear All Data.
**Optional:After this [root only] I go into KT tweaker and make sure my phone cpu is set to a max of 810 Mhz when screen off.**
This fix usually works until I reset the phone. I ALWAYS follow those 3 steps when rebooting. AND always check that after I've used GPS that Google Play Services isn't keeping my phone awake. [Eg, after 30 minutes I check if the phone ever went to sleep again when the screen was off.] IF it does act up, I repeat steps 1, 2 &3. I still get notifications and all, and this is the least feature disabling way I've found that works with the cost of a little micro-management of your phone.
With this fix I can idle for an estimated 5-6days. As I take off my phone from charge at 8am and at noon with minimal usage [maybe 4 or 5 texts] I am at 97%. With WiFi on & connected.
OTHER: I personally keep NFC&Android beam&Bluetooth OFF, and turn ON when I need it on. Other- WiFi is always ON, and "Scanning Always Available" EDIT: Now is OFF, "WiFi Optimization" is checked ON for me. And for location mode when I do have it on, I keep it at EDIT: Device only.

Researched this a lot, found some solutions, bad and good fixes and after trying some different twists on it after two days this is what I found to be the best, and I decided since this is just as bad as 4.0/4.1 and the mediaserver battery drain I might as well try and help at least 1 person by mass posting this reply I wrote else where to other threads, so here you go:
"Hey- I don't know if you, or anyone else has found a working solution, but here is the way I found best:
Note- I am on galaxy s4 [sgh-i337] running a 4.4 KitKat rom. I have found the following work around to work best for me:
1 Google now & Hotword detection=OFF,
2 GPS = OFF and turned on only when needed, eg maps/checkin on facebook/whatever needs location.
3 Settings-> Manage Apps -> Google Play Services -> Manage Space -> Clear All Data.
**Optional:After this [root only] I go into KT tweaker and make sure my phone cpu is set to a max of 810 Mhz when screen off.**
This fix usually works until I reset the phone. I ALWAYS follow those 3 steps when rebooting. AND always check that after I've used GPS that Google Play Services isn't keeping my phone awake. [Eg, after 30 minutes I check if the phone ever went to sleep again when the screen was off.] IF it does act up, I repeat steps 1, 2 &3. I still get notifications and all, and this is the least feature disabling way I've found that works with the cost of a little micro-management of your phone.
With this fix I can idle for an estimated 5-6days. As I take off my phone from charge at 8am and at noon with minimal usage [maybe 4 or 5 texts] I am at 97%. With WiFi on & connected.
OTHER: I personally keep NFC&Android beam&Bluetooth OFF, and turn ON when I need it on. Other- WiFi is always ON, and "Scanning Always Available" & "WiFi Optimization" is checked ON for me. And for location mode when I do have it on, I keep it at EDIT: Device only. Using only gps to find my location.
All in all, I hope this gets fixed."

thanks! but wow i wish my battery would be that good. i actually did so,ething else, i turned off the location reporting like someone earlier said and google play services dont even show up anymore. using device only disables location reporting as well so they both should have similar improvements.
