GPS turning off when screen off - lollipop 5.1 issue - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This just started after the update. Even with all battery saving options turned off, the Gps is losing signal when the screen turns off. My running app can't track anymore, unless I keep the screen on.
I've tried all three accuracy settings on the gps, and slowly stepped back the battery performance options until they wee ask off, yet nothing is working.
Any suggestions?

[Q]Howto disable battery full indicator on Froyo.

I place the Samsung Galaxy S under my pillow and listen to "whiteNoise". That gets me to sleep pretty fast.
The problem is that the battery full indicator switches on the display and leaves it on. (I have the setting activated that while on usb power, leave display on).
This causes the phone to get really hot during the night and I'm scared it might kill it eventually.
So I could toggle the usb option every night, but I really would like that the useless battery full warning could be disabled.
I hoped that Froyo would bring a solution to this problem, but I guess not.
Maybe by posting it here (again?) some bright minds can find the option to disable this warning completely.

Smart Actions and Wifi

Anyone have any issues with Smart Actions and Wifi? I am running ICS .232. Recently i've been noticing my battery draining and my system is telling me that my Wifi has been on for 7 hours. I check the Wifi settings and it's set to off. I turned it on and off to be safe. The only thing I can think of was Smart actions not shutting it off as it states it was. I just removed the rule to turn wifi off and on depending on my location. It's suppose to turn off wifi while at work to conserve battery but it seems to be draining my battery instead. I just checked it now and the solid bar is short at the end indicating it is no longer on. Wondering if anyone has the same issue? BTW I've been at work for the past 8 hours so Wifi should have been off. Location is flaky in my area even with GPS as there is a dead spot close by. I work out in the country..

[Q] WiFi cant be turned off on 🍭

Is this issue only on my device or its some sort of bug on ?
WiFi in settings is completley turned off, scanning always available is turned off, keep awake is set to never, gps is set to use only gps to determine positions..so every options of wifi is turned off, but still in battery paragraph show that wifi is almost always turned on (see picture) even when device is turned off in baterry paragraph u can see that wifi is turned on
Here is screenshoot
Solved by going back to 4.4.4 kk,
Sony definitely need to fix LP, to many bugs compared to kk.
battery life is terrible, slow charging time, wifi has some problem, force closing apps (probably google fault ), sound is worse, strange wakelock,..
Of course this is my opinion of Lollipo- and i tried clean install, withouth root, with root...and every time same for me.. so il be waiting for fixed version of lollipop by Sony, maybe 5.1

Bluetooth keep awake after update

This is killing my battery. Is anyone having this issue?
Nada boss.

Well that's the top on my list of my battery usage for the last 4 days even after rebooting the phone couple of times. The only way to prevent it is shutting down the BT but I don't want to manage my BT all the time.
also having this issue
Just saw your post. I am also having this issue. To test, with BlueTooth on and the phone idle with screen off, I was burning 3-4% an hour. Battery drain was worse if I actually used the phone. Turn off BT and I'm around 1-1.5% an hour. The keep awake percentage with BT on was something like 75-80% awake (the bar on Battery Info looked almost solid). Now that BT is off, the phone wakes up a few times an hour when idle/screen off.
I previously had a Droid Razr Maxx HD and kept BT on all the time with no real effect on battery drain. I had BT paired to my car radio for hands free and to a Motorola Keylink (using the Moto Connect app) for SmartLock. I'd like to keep BT on all the time for the KeyLink/SmartLock feature in Lollipop, but not with that kind of battery drain.
Have you had any luck figuring out how to get BT to work without the Keep Awake?
Has anyone find out what's causing this?
I'm having the same issue - seems to have just started within the past week or so - anyone know what's going on?
Yeah I am manually turning off my Bluetooth when not in use again. Haven't had to do this on any phone since ICS.

The same issue just started for me today. I may have found the cause and (at least temporary) solution. My phone is no longer constantly awake and Bluetooth awake time has stopped increasing.
Cause: power cycling the phone while Bluetooth is on
Solution: turn bluetooth off before power cycling the phone
This is just a rudimentary discovery, but if people can confirm if this also works for them we can maybe get closer to a real cause/solution for this.
edit: False alarm. Bluetooth is now keeping the phone awake again, even without a reboot. Gonna try changing around smartlock settings to see if this helps.
Two days ago, I disabled the settings to let smartlock unlock my phone when in range of my watch. I did not reboot, however. That evening, the phone ran out of power and shut down. Since then, it's been fine. Phone still shows awake all the time, but the battery usage has been much more reasonable (20 hours use out of it vs. 12). Once I verify that it's working reliably, i'll re-enable each setting separately to try to figure out what's going on.

GPS not working with screen off

I ride a motorcycle and rely on my headphones with the voice navigation when needed. Never had any problems with my S8, but yesterday was the first time using my s10 with headphones for nav, and multiple times I missed a turn by a mile or so because it turned out the GPS stops when I shut the screen off in my pocket. And it's doing this on both Google maps and waze, as soon as I take my phone out and turn the screen on waze starts updating my location and reroutes. I need a fix to this ?
What's the power saving mode state? On my note 8, if I had moderate power saving mode on, gps would disable about a minute after screen turned off. Turned power saver off and no problems.
Optimized with adaptive turned on.
