[Q]How do you limit Google maps wake-ups?

I'm looking for someway to lessen/ prevent Maps location sync service from waking up my phone every few seconds. I've tried turning off the location update with in the app and a good deal if the settings in Google now. Its killed a third of my battery according to better battery stats. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm on the ns4g sprint ota jb with thalamus' latest with idle 2 disabled.

Disable Location service in Latitude
Disable location in phone settings, both GPS + celltower
Using an app such as Autostarts or Gemini app manager, disable all starting events
That fixed it for me, forever. Never get any wake up anymore.

I'll try the Gemini and let you know

[Q] Battery Saving apps stop working

Hey everyone! Over the last weeks I have been trying out several battery-saving applications on my Huawei P6:
- Juice Defender (Ultime)
- GreenPower
- Deep Sleep Battery Saver
- ...
I configure all of these battery saving apps to enable data/wifi for 1 minute, then disable it again for 5 minutes.
All the applications work when they are just started but after a while (~20minutes) these application stops enabling data/wifi...
Because of that I no longer receive any emails, ... because the connection is not enabled automatically...
I am running version B111 and all background apps are allowed to run. I am not running a task killer which could be killing these applications.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone else using any battery saving apps that they can recommend?
Feedback is appreciated!

battery drained 30 percent overnight? normal?

Hello, my battery was at 60 percent last night and this morning it is now at 30. I went in and looked at the battery data and Google plus was at the top of the list at 33 percent. Suggestions?

It's not normal, turn off location when you're not using it.

Uninstall it

Haha, I'm trying to find the cause of the problem and why other people don't experience these issues.

No need to list all your apps when you know Google+ is the culprit
There is an option within settings to sync photos over Wi-Fi only and while on charge, much more efficient unless you really need to backup all the time
Additionally for general gains, you could use another app to turn off data/Wi-Fi or toggle airplane mode overnight, unless you need it syncing while you sleep

Google+ isn't syncing photos because all of my photos are synced.

It was probably syncing something overnight though right? Worth having charging setting anyway
Ironic that an official Google app will have
e such a high wakelock...
Perhaps try something like greenify?

No because I flashed back to stock a couple days ago to reapply mods and haven't taken any pictures yet.. I have greenify so i'll watch my battery level and then use greenify if I need to. Still weird though. I also totally shut off location now (was on battery saving) so I'll see what happens overnight this time.

install wake lock detector thank me later

higher up you can
install a wakelock detector and check which apps does the "batman"
would have been helpful if you had at least attached the screenshot of the battery stats.
Best hope: Install a wake-lock detector. Check for app.

Google+ will sometimes cause small wakelocks on my phone overnight as well. Although, it doesn't appear as bad as yours. If it doesn't "sync" overnight, I only lose 1-2% that night. If it does sync, it shows that it kept the phone awake for about 10min. But even then, I'll only lose about 5-7% that night (definitely not 33%). I, too, have it back up my pictures over WiFi. This wakelock is random. Sometimes it happens during the day, and sometimes at night. I doesn't really seem to correlate with me taking pictures that day or not.

A genuine query... how much battery does the hotword detection use? Has anyone noticed a difference on/off?

It's only draining when you're at a home screen so while it's not consistent it will decrease SoT slightly. It only saves you from making 1 screen tap on the mic icon so the trade off is questionable.

Is it set to only sync when plugged in and on Wifi?

This time it went from 89 to 49, probably because in the morning I started getting notifications. Anyways Google plus is no longer on the battery list. Attached are screenshots of anything I think might be useful.

Press on 1013, does it give more information?

Bad Battery Drain -- What could culprit be?

So I am noticing some really bad battery drain from the process alarm_wakeup_locator. Not sure what apps are associated with it or what but I really want to narrow down the culprit! I have attached some screenshots from BBB and also the AlarmManager.txt file which I retrieved using the command "dumpsys alarm > AlarmManager.txt" from terminal emulator. If anyone sees anything out of the ordinary or knows what app or whatever is causing this please let me know! Thanks!

I have google location services off and GPS on battery saver mode.

I mean to be honest, 3% per hour is not that bad. Turn off location reporting in google now, and it looks like your wifi is responsible for the rest of the wakelocks i.e., dont keep it on. I really, REALLY, don't understand why android has to have this retarded battery draining wakelock.

Ehh...3%/hour actually isn't bad, but it's also not good, if you're not using the device for anything during that time.

Yeah I'm sleeping the phone isn't doing anything...I thought leaving WiFi on was much better than having it on data

Mine was having the same problem since then I've disabled and reenabled the Google location after uninstalling and reinstalling the Google services and some of the Google applications and right now it seems like I have no more of the battery drain problem plus I used the root exploit and xposed on top of titanium backup and I froze a lot of the Verizon bloatware and a few of the Google Apps that came stock on the phone and since then I've not had a problem

I get about .7% per hour I turn off data and autosync with tasker at night. Don't leave either one on, wifi has wake lock issues and you will kill your battery faster. Use wifi when you need it only, because lte/3g has fast dormancy.

Is that new? Keeping wifi on used to SAVE battery.

Saves battery sometimes when you are using data not when your phone is supposed to be in deep sleep

Tap and show the info about Android OS battery usage. Usually if keeping the phone awake can be solved by rebooting the phone.

Without root and a lot of advanced tweaking there is only one simple thing you can do - turn off WiFi and Mobile Data before you go to sleep. Eventually as an even bigger step you can also go to Airplane Mode but obviously you will not be able to take any phone call. See what battery drain you get under those conditions.

Thank you! Thought I had to unroot my phone. Already tried rebooting but did mot work but O tried factory reseting my phone and solved the problem.

It has helped many. It could help you too.

1st picture
i think dropbox is eating up your battery
2nd picture
your mobile network signal is weak, this could be the culprit
3rd picture
same as above

post some wakelocks. Otherwise this is useless.
The 1st picture it's obviously dropbox. In the other two, who knows. without wakelock stats this thread is useless

Worth rooting...
If you root go for :
- Wakelock Detector (find out exactly what caused the drain: screen / cpu)
- Greenify (hibernate apps regularly)
- ROM Toolbox Pro (disable startup and other related intents)
Since I did (I stayed on stock) : I don't have to worry about charging during the day + all lag is gone (even with 500 apps and >100 more frozen).

wakelock detector works just fine without root greenify partially

Turn off the wifi
