I'm on my phone and search is horrible. How do you clear the GPS? My phone takes 3 hours to lock on

what do you mean by clear the gps? my guess would be to turn it off and then back on or hard reset your phone. using wireless networks might help speed up finding your location too (if it isn't already on)
After turning off my wifi, the battery stats show that I still have it running, when in reality it shouldn't. It shows that it's off in the settings menu but the wifi bar in the battery stats says it's on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Like this for example.

Yep. Introduced in 4.3 WiFi will stay on to help with location. When it's turned "off" it just means it won't connect.
You can turn this feature off in WiFi > advanced > scanning always available.

Hey guys, I've owned my Nexus 5 for a couple weeks now and I've noticed a battery drain when running on WiFi. No matter what ROM I use, no matter what kernel I use, it still drains. And BBS tells that as well. I have not one but 4 wakelocks on WiFi and I've tried both franco and faux's kernel combined with both Cataclysm/Stock ROM. Attached a BBS screenshot. Anyone has this too/solved it?

Li'l up? I've searched a while but no one has these three same exact wakelocks like me.

You have to turn off "Always scanning" in the Wi-Fi advanced settings

Done. Even undervolted -75mv and underclocked CPU of 200MHz (not actually related to this WiFi thingy but I wanted to save some battery). I feel like WiFi is draining soooooo much even when the screen is on, and I don't use any apps like Facebook which drain battery.

The only way I get MMS pictures is if I have my data already on. Is there any way for it to automatically turn on when getting one or to get them through WiFi? My old Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket automatically turned on data when getting them so I don't know if it's just hangouts or the phone doesn't do it in general. I'm on T-Mobile by the way.

Even using the aosp messaging it doesn't turn on by itself. The only thing I miss from the HTC one

it can be normal, hows your data connection quality? which data signal do you use/catch?

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal
Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.
Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location

I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

Hasn't app ops been removed from 4.4.2?

Nope, you just need root to use it

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

I've got trickster mod free but just went through it all and no option for app ops

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output

I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.
