In running services there are 3 processes: NetworkLocationService, and 2 other under Google Play Services. One is GoogleLocationManagerService and the other is Google Location Service.
The three use a lot of ram like 25mb. I'd like to know what each does and if I can disable one or two without loosing my location in maps, weather. Thanks

google location service probably has to do with google maps but i am not so sure
i doubt that it is related with weather any of these processes
for weather these are the processes
htc weather location service
htc weather sync provider
htc weather provder

is there such an app ?
like whereever i go with the phone, i want to chart it on google maps.

There are lots. Be more specific if you want more specific apps.
If your a google man, then there's a perfect companion to Google maps. It's called My Tracks and made by Google (Yes, I expected it to be called Google Tracks too )
Careful on battery life though.

Instamapper - very plain but works and doesn't kill the battery.

Livetracker will plot your location and speed on a personal Google maps page in almost realtime.

You probably know the HTC Tasks widget from sense 3.5

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Maybe it can't be done because it's a beta, or it doesn't sync with Google but with some HTC service.

Ya...it must not be a completed app. Based on the greyed out Settings>Accounts option and the "Refresh" option it looks like it is intended to eventually sync with a cloud-based service. I truly hope that it will be the Google servers. Their use of the color bars along the left hand side of the tasks makes me hopeful that it will be Google-based....
I use nuevasync as an exchange account with toodledo as a task manager. I've got it syncing without issue. Only certain exchange services will it support at this time.

It is more than just .apk there are system libs in there too. It won't work with 3.0 yet. Just got 3.5 its just as polished as 3.0 and appears faster to the naked eye. There are some wonderful. 2.3.5 roms.

any updates on htc tasks??
google calendar's recent updates integrated googles tasks as an own calendar and the tasks can be attached with due dates and notes which will be shown in the calendar. very very cool feature, but unfortunately this new "tasks" calendar is not shown in our htc devices as a standalone calendar which it should be :-(

Yeah that's a known issue with Google Calendar for quite some time. Tasks have been around for Calendar for well over a year. However it's googles funky way of integration that is the issue, not the Calendar apps. It's because Google Tasks are not true tasks nor true calendar, but a wonky hybrid.
My iphone and vanilla Android had the same issues.
What exactly is your problem with the tasks app?
Sounds more like your problem is Google, not HTC.
works great for me with toodledo through Nuevasync.
my problem is that "accounts" in HTC Tasks is greyed out. I want to sync Google's tasks with HTC Tasks app and want the Google Tasks Calendar to be shown as a standalone calendar on my phone.

Well I can click accounts (using virtuous affinity 1.46) but can only sync with exchange or use local lists.
Even if you could sync with google tasks it's a basic service, I would rather sync with astrid or producteev.
The accounts list is grayed out, because HTC Tasks sync works with Exchange ActiveSync. Add an Exchange account under Settings/Accounts and Sync, and you will be able to sync your tasks.
Hope this helps.

Ed
I added my google account as an exchange account and selected only tasks to sync but it never syncs any tasks?

No I don't want to disable the entire app, just some services started by it.
Example Facebook has three services:
Media upload service
Vault managet service
Background detection service
I want to disable MediaUploadService, cause I never upload things to FB and it keeps running in background consuming RAM. Also maps has 3 services, which I normally stop after using it because they consume 30 MB of RAM

yeap you have right
i just checked the app and i didn't see at least any of these you mentioned
i don't know any app to do that
Anyone?

Have you tried going into Facebook setting and clicking "never" for refresh interval? Also make sure location is off for messenger services...
Another method - Uninstall the FACEBOOK app, Don't use the app, just have a shortcut to Facebook as a browser link, works almost as good. :silly:

Google is "updating" (downgrade ) its Android maps apps and is removing the facility to store maps within the handset for use when the phone is out of range of a phone signal.
Users can still preload some local areas into the phone by carrying out searches in advance while they still have a signal, but the move may cause concern to app developers who had relied on the facility for rural mapping services.
The company has also decided to close down its "foursquare-clone", Latitude and check-ins wont be part of the new Google Maps app, and will be retired from older versions on August 9. In order to drive more traffic to its Google+ service, they had added location sharing to that instead.
Away from what is being removed, the new Google Maps app had added in local area adverts, which will be displayed whenever a user tries to carry out a search within the maps app.
They are also adding in local area traffic disruptions in select cities for when users are making use of its built-in navigation service.

Offline maps are still there:
Just type ok maps in search bar.

Google+ has a feature called "locations" that seems to do the location tracking.

But does it do real time tracking or does it only update when you "Check In"?
Does anyone know the location of offline saved map of Google?

Google will cache Maps. If you need free offline maps use OSM and +
