[Q] Google App draining battery? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I just got a Nexus 5 and it seems that the Google app (not Google Services) is draining my battery. It used 23%, while the next biggest user was the Android system with 4%. What causes this? Is it because the Google app is also the launcher? Or is it a bug?
I already looked in the Battery thread but couldn't really find anything useful (as most of it concerned the Play Services). I hope someone can help me!
Kind regards!

Try disabling location permission using app ops (need to be rooted) see if that helps you. http://i.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1zxri4/google_play_services_battery_drain_the_real read whole article I know its not quite what your issue is but seems close.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply! The problem seems to have fixed itself overnight, probably a bug in the Google App.

Problem porting Camera application

Hello there.
I have two devices that share almost the same hardware (same chipset, just different display), so I successfully ported framework from one to the other (G14 to G11i). The thing is that camera app from G11i had really nice features when compared to camera app from G14. Even more important than that is that auto-focus is not working any more, so I was trying to port that app as well. The thing is that the app doesn't appear on app drawer.
Can someone please guide me on what can be the cause for this? I have attached both apk's.
Is there any developer willing to help?
Here's a log while trying to install the Camera application.

Do you think this could be the problem why the app doesn't appears on the drawer (if I push it to /system/app)? How can I make the app signatures match those in android.media?
I have managed to solve this problem by modifying AndroidManifest.xml and re-signing the application. This may be useful to others.
(off-topic: it's just a pity that no one showed up for help)
By no one answering this you did just what you were supposed to. You learned how to fix it yourself. Its what XDA is all about. Learning something new and how to fix your issue. Glad you got it working.

Yeah something is very wrong in the new version of maps.
I have the same problem. I am running CM10 so this is not a sense issue. I found force closing maps stops it for a little while.

try turning off GPS and see if that helps any. Do you have location history or location tracking enabled through the settings on maps? Try messing with the settings there.
I just went poking around in maps settings and found location history was enabled. This seems like it was the problem. Thanks for the tip!

My settings were/are all off. No history or reporting (that I authorized anyway)

[Q] Duplication glitch in Google Play Store on my Nexus 5

Phone info:
Unrooted/Stock
Android 4.4.2
Factory reset about 2 days ago.
Hey guys, I recently had encountered this problem on my Google play store. To put it in short, the app entries are duplicated, curiously only affects top downloaded games only. I closes the app if that was the problem but no use. I am not sure if this is a android overall bug or a nexus 5 bug, and it's not harmful but it is annoying to me. Any fixes or updates to fix this? Really helpful if you helped me

as far as i know, you must have the g+ app.
if you are rooted, you could try freezing the g+ app and see if the pic app still works. i never tried it, so it may not work.
if not rooted, you could always use greenify to kill the g+ app, then it cant waste battery.
Freezee don't work on this app battery use ~20% unistal at all, no hope on this crap, google still going bad

Not yet
I think they gonna make a new update to fix all their problems.
A couple of my friends also suffer from that
Yes I also have this problem since updating
I also had this problem, it was driving me mad for a long time, but after many hours I have discovered that you have to turn on miui optimization in developer options, to make the app links work again.
have o look at developer options/ down to "Miui optimizing" switch. Is it set to on? If not, change to on and reboot.
Maybe this could fix the problem.
