It should be simple as disabling network location and Google locations service on settings, but I was almost crazy trying to figure out how to disable this NetworkLocationService. It was appearing every time I started gmaps, and it makes wifi wakelock incredibly frequent, draining the battery as hell with phone sleeping and wifi sets as "only when charging" on wifi sleep policy. The only solution was remember to kill that process every time of opening gmaps.
That's the process:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I realise that on my gmaps settings, there were options to report my location and save my location history. And this was working even with locations disabled! Then I just disabled all that and voilà! The process went away!
That's the options on gmaps. Sorry for the Portuguese on the screenshots, but I suppose that it's understandable.
Now my wakelocks by wifi went away, so you can imagine the battery life after that.
Just sharing this because I didn't found a solution; there is only topics here on xda (on other device's forum) telling that you should downgrade gmaps to solve this.
If I'd helped you, just press "thanks". It's free!
Nice guide although,disabling all of that would lead that i can't have fast gps lock and you need to turn all of that if you want to use igo but you can leave with that

I don't think so; the agps feature is independent from this network location. I tested mine right now, and it locks in less than 10s close to my room's window and it's raining. Not bad at all.

Try restarting phone and then try gps fix
Without it, took some time 2 get a lock,with it turned on i lock in 10sec's:good:

You can try for yourself.
I freshly installed dmx 1.5, disabled NetworkLocationService and started gmaps: exactly 22s to get a lock. Not bad considering it's the first fix on device.
Then I rebooted, waited all startup programs to load, certified that NetworkLocationService was not working in background and opened gmaps: 6s to fix! If agps was disabled it would be impossible to fix fast as that. I could make a movie, but I think there's no reason to do not believe.

It's independent from A-GPS, it's just some google service which tracks all routers and network antenna's and reports your location based on that. A-GPS uses data to track satelites quicker, correct me if I am wrong, but A-GPS just tells your phone something like: the satelites are over there. Google tells you: you are now on blabla street no 31, because they scan the whole world.

A-GPS doesn't mean "Assisted GPS"? A Standardized service wich help GPS software (Navigon, NDrive,....) to assist finding the best way depending on the trafic?
True,but you know when you cant find fix you first clear network location service...
Why then didnt you just freeze that service?It's easy couse we are rooted
Agps means assisted gps and it uses sotware(google servers defined in gps.conf) to pinpoint your location faster

Because I want an easy way to enable it when I need it, just holding the "gps" icon on notification and ticking "Google location service". But this resource uses a huge amount of battery, so i don't want it enabled at background while I'm not using it. Simple as that. :thumbup:

Hello,
I found your post very interesting and wanted to check my settings but somehow I can not find in GMaps settings options from your last screenshot?
Please, can you point me to this menu precicely if this in not problem for you?
GMaps -> Settings -> Location settings ?
Thank you in advance!

Interesting Sherpa. I will try this later, I'm hoping that it will (by using your "Exit" button) kill GPS. Some GPS apps have a habit of leaving GPS open when they exit. So not so much to start GPS for me but to kill it!!!
Thanks for sharing.

First of all, good work.
I'm not trying to knock your work, and I do plan on utilizing it. I haven't tried this yet as I just got my device on Friday and haven't really had time to molest it. However, I was hoping someone would make something more along the lines of a Google Maps launcher that would activate GPS then load gMaps; or a program similar to the VJUtils that can activate and deactivate GPS with a button press.
Those are my thoughts....
Problem is, Google Maps activates the GPS just fine. It just doesn't wait long enough to get a fix. I suppose an app that started GPS, got a fix (delayed for some length of time) then launched Google would work, but it's probably not worth it when retry or two is all that's needed normally at worst.

What VJUtils are you talking about in this context? Searched this forum and VJ's website, but could not find a tool by his hand that starts and kills GPS . I am trying to find out wether or not my GPS is automatically stopped by an app when I quit the app, or stays on in the background, consuming power. I see that when I kill TomTom, the red LED stops blinking, but does that mean that the GPS is truely off?

I was actually thinking a 'GPS' entry in the htc comm manager would have been sweet. In original style icons of course.
Still, this app's pretty cool, good work sherpa.

Re-reading my post, it is a little unclear. The VJ Utils i was referring to are the ones for the radios (bluetooth, wifi...). There is not one for GPS, but there should be.
Another thing I was thinking was maybe to have this program have an auto off by timer. Or maybe have it automatically close itself after certain programs that use gps close. Just throwing idea's out there.
I'm researching more regarding GPS functionality. My goal is to create something more functional. I hope time allows me to accomplish my goals. Thank you all for your feedbacks.

I personally think adding a button to the Comm Manager would be great! I could press the GPS icon there, and then start my GPS programs. This would add a small amount of buffer time to lock on to some GPS signals and get a fix.
sherpa,
Thanks for your great work.
Could you give us more information about what you do internally?
Do you just connect to COM4 or you need to send some data to this port in order to be initialized?
Thanks
As far as I can tell, the right hand LED blinks amber when GPS is active. Every GPS app that I've tried so far, lights it up and works with the GPS. Upon exiting the amber light always stops blinking, so I'm saying that in the several weeks of use so far, no app has left the GPS in an ON state.

Aha, you mean VJVolubilis. I am using that for my GPRS and BT, great app, should indeed be a likewise solution for GPS as well. I don't know if the GPS stays on after quiting TomTom or Google Maps, the LED goes off, but does that mean the GPS is off? Does anyone know how to check that?
I am totally in favour of adding this to the CommManager, like I am totally in favour of adding a 3G/GPRS switch in there too, but it only has so many spaces to use unfortunately and I have only 1 left..

That is pretty much all this program is doing right now. It is connecting to COM4 at 4800 baud rate and opening the port. When you exit, it closes the port.
I would love to have an app that would allow me to switch GPS On/Off. It appears that applications sometimes do not turn GPS off upon exit.
Are you referring to GPS or GPRS? As they are 2 completely different things.

How can you confirm this to be true other than guessing by thinking that your battery is wearing too quickly?
Maybe it is the app that did not exit correctly. TomTom 7 definitely does not have this problem. Which GPS app are you using?

I am talking about the Global Positioning System, GPS.
I am a Geocacher so I use three different apps to utilize the GPS system. First I have mostly used BeelineGPS, and Google Maps. I have recently begun evaluating Geoscout which shows real promise as a geocaching app.
The problem is that I have drained my battery a couple of times and have recently begun resetting my device to avoid my battery running flat. I strongly suspect that GPS is the problem.
I would love to have an app to toggle GPS on/off.
I will do a search for GPS Utilities, thanks for the tip bertrand13
Use BAF GPS Toggle

I basically posted in the wrong forum. Though it was the few threads about gps on/off. I have a MC IV never use it, thought. I neither works on WM5. It gives me an error on WM6. Programmer is looking at it.
I am also interested in toggling G-P-S on and off. I currently have an HTC HD2. I would like to turn GSM and GPRS off in favor of keeping GPS on. Anyone tips?
Hi, i have a little trouble with the weather in my nexus one... It keeps changing my city with a town nearby... sometimes when i refresh my weather app, my city is shown, but sometimes the little town nearby is shown, im not sure if this is a trouble of the maps, my gps, or the weather channel but, its a little bit annoying... im using cyanogen, but my nexus had this exact behavior when he wasnt rooted and had the stock firmware on it...
Just for you to understand... heres a little map: (the distance between one and the other are about 15 miles)...

Thanx in advance my dear droid fellows!
I believe the weather app uses GPS, AGPS or WiFi to determine the current location. GPS would be accurate... AGPS depends on you cellular providers location broadcast based on triangulation of neighbouring towers... WiFi depends on you ISP's IP location broadcast... AGPS & WiFi aren't very accurate and provide a larger location ratio so you mite get incorrect location information...
Great!
Thnx Craig!
How can i know which method my N is using??
I have issues with the weather app also, small town problem I'm sure. But I disabled location based weather and manually update my zip code for reliability's sake. I recommend the same, as long as I'm in the same region its close enough.
You can check your settings with the Menu>Settings>Weather Settings options.

Well, that all depends... from my understanding... if you have your GPS on and have data/wifi, it should use the GPS position... if you have wifi on & connected, the phone uses wifi instead of data, so wifi location comes into picture... otherwise, with only data (no wifi/GPS), AGPS is used...

I've always believed that GPS should take precedence, but strangely, your scenario doesn't fall under that...
Well, I can only recommend you try one thing... go to the Maps app and check out your current location... try it with and without GPS...

I turned it off and :O
It changed to my city!!!
So which is the problem over here?
Im really confused, because when in the weather says "the other town" in google maps says "my city" (this when the GPS is on)
With the GPS off in the weather says "my city" and in google maps says "my city"
I just reboot it with the gps turned off and it fliped again to the town! I dont really dont know whut to do!
Well, I guess I was wrong about one thing... apparently, the weather app does not use GPS to find your location... it uses only WiFi and AGPS (@see http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=704ea3966b365ce1&hl=en)
And you could try one more thing... Go to Setting > Application > Manage Applications... look for all the Weather related applications and Clear Data & Cache... reboot and the check!!!
I'm experiencing very high battery drain on my phone, most of it attributed to "Android OS" in Settings -> Battery. For example, my battery is at 62% after 6 hours off charger, with 19min screen-on time. Any help, please? I tried reading various guides for dealing with the issue, but most of them refer to older versions of Android.

Mmm thats weird, did you try to uninstall some apps that may be wakelocking your device ?
Wakelock its an excellent app but sadly you need root
Try unisntall some "fishy" apps that could be doing it
That's the problem, since I'm not rooted, I can't use wakelock detector It is kinda crippling.
I can't think of any fishy apps off the top of my head.. is there a list of "known bad" apps?
List some less popular apps you have installed. Apps like Tinder gave me ridiculous wakelocks. Screw that app BTW.
Interesting, I do have tinder installed! Is there any easy way of getting all installed applications on the phone?

Check for which devices are set to actively sync. Turn off all the apps that don't need to sync in the background. Also, turn off syncing for all the google apps that you don't use.
If you're logged into multiple accounts, you have might location tracking and history on for all. I disabled both and it doesn't affect google now.
Try a factory reset,I had my Google Services on high and I did a factory reset and it was fine from there on.

Sorry for late responding but I'm pretty sure it's a third party app. But another suggestion is to boot into Safe Mode and see if the high drainage still occurs. If it stops, then we know it's a third party app.
I have solved the majority of this problem on my phone.
Go into apps, reset data for the app "Moto"
Now enter Moto, do NOT accept "Yes I'm in" (or whatever it's translated to for you)
It appears the car detection chews through battery like mad, they apparently use ambient audio to detect driving if there's no location service running.
You will have to go into camera and click/unclick the wrist flick feature, same with alarm clock, you have to click/unclick in the Moto app, and launch alarm clock at least once. You will also need to do this on the "approach to activate" set of features.
This obviously kills the four assistive features and always on voice activation. But it appears this drains a ton of battery.
And even if you don't use voice activation any more, (I enabled it to test it out), but the DSP that handles it is never disabled.
Also always set GPS to "device only" as this google data farm "feature" completely murders battery life.

No problem. My issue with battery is the Cell Standby bug that seems to be a bug with this build for Verizon Moto X. There's nothing I can do about it except wait for Lollipop.

I have all of these enabled. I use approx 45-60 min of GPS per day, minimal talk time, >50% of my time spent with no cell signal. I consistently get ~3.5 hrs of screen on time.
Maybe you did improve your battery life, but I don't think the moto features were your problem.
Just accepted the latest update on my S21 Ultra and noticed straight away that there is a delay on typing. Usually if I open messaging app I can tap the text box and start typing instantly. Now there's a few seconds delay so it misses off the first word or so. It's very annoying.
Happens in any app eg Messages, WhatsApp etc.
Tried Gboard which is my usual but also tested and it's the same on Asking keyboard. It's driving me mad!

Clear system cache
Clearing cache hasn't worked. Genuinely think it's a bug with the latest update I got. Started after that and it's the only thing that's changed.

Don't see such a problem on my device...but I can't really relate to your problem literally. Do you have a video showing the lag?
It's not really obvious that I'm tapping but I press the buttons as soon as the keyboard appears.
That's horrific and it would drive me mad very quickly.
Feels like the keyboard is connecting to a service. Have you gone down the list of disabling all advanced features, like GIF/emoji integration, then enabling each one one at a time?

Try in safe mode.
Your phone is probably recalibrating. Suffer for another day or 2 and it will likely go away.
Really don't see it in my device. Have you tried another keyboard. I'm on SwiftKey and don't have this issue.

The Samsung keyboard is one of the best, so much so many prefer it. I've been using the same Samsung keyboard layout for almost 8 years. One of the few things Samsung hasn't screwed up, but they are on a roll
This delay glitch is unacceptable... drop the ball Sammy.
Am I missing an update or so? I don't see this delay...hmm

It may only adversely effect certain production batches. Update roulette...
It could well be due to messaging app iso the keyboard.
It seems the messaging app may be waiting for voice input.
See SS of OP's screen video, and the circled icon...

Good point. Intelligent phones aren't that intelligent and many of those features rely on internet connection to process the raw voice inputs. Not sure if this is one but it likely is.
I disable voice to text, always... and little Bixby too
I've factory reset. Gone through the pain of installing all my apps and it's still the same.
Very good points regarding services I think I'll try and disable anything voice related as I don't use that!
Ok disabled the voice stuff I could find and it's still doing it. Driving me friggin mad!!

Clear system cache. Hard reboot.
Device Care>Battery, make sure ALL power management is disabled, except display setting which should be optimized or higher.
If still doing it Device Care>memory, clear the cache, now use the keyboard and immediately go back to memory and see what was added. Those are potential seauspects.
I'll add to blackhawk's instructions - kill your data & wifi then reboot and try again (with the data & wifi still off). So often when a computer has these little lags, it's data connection related - like something is phoning home or phoning out. I'm getting that gut feeling with this one too.

Add a network reset to the list and a carrier network reset.
I never liked voice commands; when you're out of the streets, driving, walking, jogging, whatever... the phone needs to disappear.
It's a liability, not asset. You need to be paying attention to your surroundings not matter how boring or inconvenient it seems.
Bad things happen fast, you need to be ready... not jerking off with the phone.
Even when talking, you are being distracted. The man with no name knew that...
Check your Access point settings too.
On my AT&T NXTGENPHONE profile I found that instead of "hipri" (high priority) it had "fota" (Firmware Over-The-Air) which I don't want.
So I created a new profile and tested it. Instant download speed increase it seems... still testing.
APN type default,mms,supl,hipri
My original profile was set as IPv4/IPv6, which I used on my new profile instead of the AT&T suggested IPv4 only.
APN protocol IPv4
If you do this create a new profile with a different name so you can retain your original one too.
Don't forget to fill in any relevant spaces on the new and leave the blank ones blank unless you know better.

For other carriers you'll need to up their APN specs.
