GPS - Constant activity?

Okay... the past day or so, my GPS icon in my status bar has been constantly flashing (unless I turn off GPS).
Anyone idea of what causes this?
Icon in question:

You have navigation running.

No... I don't

Yeah, you do. At least when you took that shot. Pull down the notification bar and click then kill the arrow. You have to exit navigation and not just hit the home button.
Man I bet you are getting horrendous battery life right now.

OMG... Really? That's the phone from all the N1 advertisements, I am just using it to the the icon I am talking about. ROFL

we need to know what apps you have running, i've had that issue before with Beautiful Widgets when i had wifi based location turned off and i was in a basement so the GPS couldn't lock on a signal

Lol awesome. My bad!
I have noticed that happening a few times and it has always been a stuck program. Obviously you can narrow it down to an app that uses GPS and go through each one and start them and then finish them to srr of that helps. Or just turn off GPS and turn it back on.

Do you have Beautiful Widgets? I know that it sometimes goes goofy and keeps the GPS on. Not with the latest release tho.

Yeah... I do have Beautiful Widgets, maybe that's my problem. Will check it out.
Thanks

maybe you have geolocation checked.

Forgive me for piggybacking on this discussion, but I have a related question. Is it possible for apps to be using GPS (and thus sucking battery) WITHOUT the icon's appearing in the notification bar?

if GPS is turned off then it will try to determine your location using your data signal.

no its not possible. if any app uses the gps, that icon will appear. it is also possible that the phone will jsut pull your location based on cell tower approximation, which would not use gps, and hence not use as much battery anyway...

Some device on your network is waking the Note through the wifi. Try sniffing the traffic to find out which and why.

Thank you.
What app do you advise me for the sniffing thing?

go to settings settings>privacy and see if both boxes are unchecked. it does backup of stuff into google server. we don't need that really.

I understand it wastes battery, but my problem isn't related to that because it's ON since day one and i only experienced this drain 2 days ago..
Just reseted the phone and installed apps again it fixes the problem!

Your top three wakelocks are all WiFi related - svnet, wlan_rx_wake and wlan_wake.
Your fourth is sec-battery-monitor - some kind of battery monitor/saver app?
There were lots of cases of people reporting battery app savers/monitors/whatever actually causing notable battery drains, particularly if users don't set their sync policy right.
Let me give you an example: let's say you use some battery saver, and set it to disconnect WiFi when screen locks. Let's also say that you have some app configured to sync at all times. The app tries to connect, but can't, because the battery saver won't allow WiFi connection to be established, so the app tries to sync again and again and again....
And your phone can't get to deep sleep, hence the high battery drain.
Hope this helps.

Dial *#9900# then disable "fast dormancy" and press close.
Monitor your drain over a day and see if its better...

anjath, do you have Scott Adams' permission to reproduce that comic strip of his? I would not post it in your sig if you do not. It would be a breach of copyright, as well as being quite rude.

improve battery life

please put vustras recommendations for longer battery life, and we will add it to the top of the thread.
1.- I have found that with SetCPU set (51-1200 MHz) improve the battery life and lowers the temperature.
2.- remove apk:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193944, if not utilizais these applications:

3.- 3845#*880# <- how to get in hidden menu and there u should disable MLT. After this restart the phone.
4.- Disable Fast Dormancy to get less com.android.phone wake-ups http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2057093 ( Thanks again to Arne_B for this)
5.- Setting>developer options>background process limit> at most 2 processes (verified only by my, I hope someone else can verify)

with titanium backup, you can download it from play store.

setting>developer options>background process limit> at most 2 processes
not seem to affect performance but increases battery life
someone else can check?

This would be true if that post's OP had kept tabs of the various solutions found in the first post(s). The way it is, if you want to learn new methods, you have to read the entire thing and hope you don't miss something. To be exact, the only thing we need is someone who volunteers to gather the useful suggestions in there.
Although I still think it helps to have a specific thread for info gathering about battery solutions, as it would (hopefully) limit suggestions like "freeze/uninstall some stock apps", that add nothing to who's trying to follow the suggestions.

Removing com.lge.internal will **** up everything...

What is this wakelock? PowerManagerService.Display

It shows up in BBS in the kernel wakelock and usually shows up when i've missed a call. It drains the battery pretty darn fast and keeps the phone awake.

I found this earlier, could be helpful. supposedly that may be a collection of different wakelocks from what I found. Check out the links and I would recommend running your phone is safe mode for a few hours to test and also running normally and freezing some apps. Hope that helps.

This is not the case. What you posted is for the regular powermanagerservice.wakelock, not the one with "display" in the title.

Hey, did you figure out how to stop it? I have the same problem...

For me, i apply, in developper options, stat transitions=1.25x, and it disapper

will try that

Maybe you're right... i didn't explain that, because in BBs it shows me 1s but not in WLD???????
It appears, only when i plug my phone on charge (or usb), and use the torch in the background...

Anyone?

Did you find out what that powermanagerservice.Wakelock was ? I'm having the same issue ATM on my oneplus one and don't find any solution...(I know I'm on the wrong forum but i think its not device related)

So, did anyone find out how to fix this?
I'm having the same issue on LGG3 (5.0 stock, v21a, rooted).
Phone's battery is discharging much more rapidly than before (for couple of weeks now), even when the phone is not in use at all.
2 highest wakelocks are PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManagerService

The same here

Same here. Guys any solution ?

PowerManagerService.Display - Used during display state transitions
@biggiestuff

Is there any way to modify a setting for display state transitions to avoid these wakelocks? I'm experiencing these wakelocks on my Galaxy S7.

I thought the PowerManagerService.Display had to do with your display on-time. From what I understand you can at least assume that your display is supposed to consume a lot of your battery power. In that case.. Some unfounded guesses: (1) try manually adjusting your screen brightness instead of automatically, (2) keep your brightness as low as possible, (3) disable as many fancy lockscreen and launcher visual effects as you can.
If the PowerManagerService.Display actually does refer to the screen-off state, maybe look into the way your phone displays notifications?

No solution for wakelock?

Guys, Any solution?

same "problem" for me... it's missing also the data limit notification... for a better data management i'm using third app (3g watchdog)

yep... that huawei app is quite useless now...

Ohh damn bugy B609
Install activity launcher from play store (no root required)
Then choose ”all activities”
Navigate to ”settings”
Find and open ”data usage”
Here you will find missing function

yrxe: Hi, I'm new at this and with this phone (since yesterday), i'm trying to reach the "all activities" page but i can't find-it... In what part of the phone is this?
I had installed the activity lancher already as you described.... as soon as I conneted the wireless this emui 3.0 appear and i can't establish any limit to my data usage (3g/4g).
Thank's in advance.

Open activity launcher app to access data usage. Only via that app you can get there.

Tx a lot !
I wasted a whole evening searching for that data traffic management that had disappeared.

Thanks a lot

Use AVG widget
I'm using the free AVG antivirus.
If you open the widget attached to it there are 4 icons.
Press the 'Battery'.
Press 'Mobile Data'
There it is!
:laugh:

It seems broken on EMui 4.0: the data graph is "invisible"

How did your get EMUI 4 on the P7??

Very Easy to change data cycle in G8

This was necessary to find that option on my MT2-L03 too. Activity Launcher uncovered it nicely.
