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.

[Q] Is my geolocalization broken?

Hello everyone.
I've been checking something and it looks lik my geolocalization via 3G networks is broken.
I'm running stock unrooted.
I have H / 3G full bars.
I have geolocalization turned on, battery saving settings as the GPS would not locate me in the building and also because I do not want a 10 feet pinpoint nor turn by turn navigation, so battery saving is exacly what I need.
I also have location publishing turned on.
Yet Maps or Tasker are completely unable to locate me....:crying:

Without touching anything it's working again....bah....
Not working once again....sigh....
Actually it's even worse today, when i press the locate me icon it doesn't say unable to locate me, it thinks that Im at work, but I'm not since 3 hours and 50 kilometers...
After a reboot it finds me...how can I check what was messed up? Kinda worrying considering that I've all stock unrooted...
Am I the only one with localization issues over 3g?...

[Q] com.android.sandbox (Chrome sandbox process drains battery)

I've tried googling this but the problem is either not widespread or its simply normal. When I use Chrome, sometimes the sandbox process will appear and it will absolutely drain my battery. The screenshot below is considered pretty good, at times I can see the process second top in the battery eating race after screen. Does anyone else encounter this? How do I fix it?

I have experienced this from time to time and I know others who use Chrome more extensively may see 3+ on their battery list by the end of the day which is disheartening.
I can't say how to fix it or what they even represent though.
Here is a thread discussing the topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/chrome-sandboxed-processes-killing-t2575649
I have the same problem and is driving me crazy as I tried other browsers cause of that but ended up returning to Chrome. If you find a fix please let me know. I searched the entire web for a solution and nothing yet...

[Q] Wifi always on, even when off in 5.0?

You're probably thinking "Turn off 'Always Scanning'"
Well, that's not it.
I noticed this issue in the developer preview, and I thought it was part of the wifi bug that held up release. Well, after coming across a Reddit post, it seems it's affecting at least one other person in the official image as well as me still.
Wifi is off:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Always scanning is off:
And I even tried to toggle Wifi on while sleeping to never.
Battery stats shows Wifi on the entire time (the sliver of 'off' you see is a reboot.):
I disabled location and bluetooth, thinking there might be an app tied to either of those that is keeping wifi alive, for location reasons or other. Is anyone else seeing this, or have any ideas?
Same issue, not a huge one tho cuz it doesnt effect my batterylife.

Who spies after me?!

Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!

Galaxy Ace 3 S7275R battery drain

Hi! This is my first post on this forum, so first of all I want to excuse myself for my English.
This is my mothers phone. She had it since 2013, she likes it and never had experienced any problems up to few week ago. It is stock Android 4.2 no root. All modules are off, no bletooth, nfc, gps or wifi, and the only social apps installed, beside the stock ones, are WhatsApp, Viber and Skype.
A performed a calibration of the battery using the only one method that I know for no rotted phones - wait until the battery drops to 5%, and after that turn off the phone, taking out the battery for half an hour, and charge it for 5 hours without power it on.
This does not help at all, the drain persist. Those are the screenshots taken this morning:
