Yeah it's due to location. Turn location off until you need it.

Well you have 2 options. Live with the battery drain or turn off location. Unless Google foxes it in a future android update that is the only way. Also I think Googles device manager will turn on location automatically as long as it is connected to Internet.

My phone after many ROMS has lost the ability to locate itself. I'm not talking about gps either. It simply can't use any network to locate itself. Anyone encounter this or know what to do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Explain what locating itself means and some of the steps you have already taken and did/didn't work. Elaborate a little bit more so I can understand the issue

I can confirm that every time I flash a new Rom it takes a long time (2-5min) to locate itself for the first time.I haven't paid to much attention to see if it's getting worst.

Like using maps or any app that locates you. It just doesn't work.

Odin a stock ROM and see if you still have the problem. That should eliminate a hardware problem.

I have just learned to assume people are. Especially people who are the only ones reporting a problem.
Your phone will use triangulation(cell), gps and wifi for location. It is really hard for me to believe that all three of those have failed. So either your missing the glaringly obvious or you are the unluckiest person ever to own the Rocket.
OMG I've been through this nightmare and here is what I did:
Yes you know and you already did it but make sure and here is why:
There is a Green button in apps menu (Google Settings) that overrides all the maps locations, ads, searches and other junk. Go in there and toggle location settings on/off.
There is a Blue button in apps (Google Now) and have that on too for now until you get it working but the Green (Google settings) supersedes all and blue doesn't have to necessarily be on.
Good luck champ!

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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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

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

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
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
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.

Set location mode to Device only in Android settings.
Why is it happening? The device keeps waking up to refresh it's location.
Really? Wow. Thanks for the info. I'll try it out and see what happens

no, different bars. when you pull down on your notification bars, the signal there. if white, then connected to googles servers, if colored then not connected. and using xposed could create issues in itself, undocumented issues.
Mmm... It's orange too, so I think it isn't connected..
How it's possible? And what can I do?

if its orange, then its not connected. first off, just try rebooting. if still its not working, uninstall the xposed completely and try again.

ok, now im trying to figure out why you arent connecting to googles services.. has this been like this for a while, or only started today? if it only started today, it can happen occasionally. id give it a day or less to see if it connects, i guess the issue could be google side as well.
Yes, it's happened today after configured Gravity Box...
However, I've read some topic on the web saying that it could be a root problem, even if I have never heard about this...
Mmm... I'll wait until tomorrow...
Thank you for the help, I'll keep you informed

all "root" does is give you permission to change system files, thats all. only way it can be a "root issue is if you went and changed system files(which i doubt). so if it happened after configuring gravity box, chances are that its related to it. again, xposed comes with many many undocumented issues.
Understood, hope it will work
