I think those are the same reason to leave the GPS on.

Besides the fact that it is one of the useful features of a smart phone, I find it useful all the time.

Not just navigating, or even playing golf, but searches, goggling local information, Lost phone apps, running/biking, I would hate to have to turn it on and wait every time I searched for a local business. :-/

That all said, yes, turning the GPS off might save a very small amount of battery, but it's negligible in the grand scheme of things.

And I don't think killing a useful feature of the phone is a very good answer to finding abnormal battery drain issues. (The biggest of which, lately, seems to be "Android System").... I don't think your answer to that would be shut of Android system, would it :)

The issue we were having is since .1.0 a few of us have had Maps turn itself on and consume abnormally high resources. I'd like to find the cause of that.

And the thought of that makes me cringe. Prompting for every action sounds so much like Windows :-0 That "security" feature is the first thing I kill in any new Windows install :)

I will have to add them tomorrow. Its gonna be a PITA creating preview GIF's for them all :( I'm working on FreeGTab (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) and its almost done! I will release and get back here asap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Nope, never stated that. I just realize it takes all of three seconds to get a lock with GPS on this phone, but we obviously use it for different things. I stated some of the things I didn't like about it, and you stated a few things you like about it. No issues, we just use our phones differently, and I'm sure others are the same.

As for prompting every action, that's far from the case. That's the great thing about Android, you actually have choice. If you install a new app you can set the permissions right then and there and they stay that way. I find it useful and I don't find it surprising I get great battery life, although that's not really a concern of mine either since I'm usually around a charger should I need one.

after changing some status bar stuff the charged notification came back. Is there a way to fix possibly flashable zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Turning off GPS is a bandaid. We're trying to find the root of the problem. Like I said, I've never had an issue with Maps draining battery while in standby on any of my previous phones and I didn't have that problem on previous versions of this ROM. "Note Everything" is the only app I installed after flashing 0.1.0 and I've uninstalled that to see if it's the culprit. Can't see how it would be but we'll see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ionthedemon:
For some reason after flashing the jellybomb theme, the battery went downhill, 40 percent in 5 hours with only a couple of minutes of screen time. Although I like the look, battery is most precious to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tymansdaddy:
update me

None of the flashes of battery mods in update me will stick. The battery is fine until it charges to 100% and then it returns to stock. i emailed developer and sent him a logcat. I wish someone would make downloadable zips for batteries that actually work and stick. Just letting you know.

Wow thIs Rom is awesome. I came from cm10 using ktoonsez kernel. I hope u guys over here are more caring about the Rom problems over there they seem to blame it on my particular phone. Lol.

Any idea why "Bill to account" isn't available in the Play Store? I love using that feature to get apps and not have to break out the credit card. Is anyone else able to?

EDIT :

I was thinking about just restoring my original stock rom, purchasing the apps i want, and then going back to my nandroid of this. However, when i did my original stock backup, i had clockwork instead of TWRP. Do you think i can go through TWRP and do the restore to stock and then if it restores clockwork just flash TWRP again through Goomanager and then restore to FreeGS3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
I'm pretty sure a nandroid restore doesn't change your recovery. In fact, I'm positive. You will still be on TWRP no matter what nandroid you restore from. And even if you somehow switched to Clockwork, yes, you can still flash TWRP and come back here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
I'm pretty sure that TWRP will not restore a nandroid created with Clockwork.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmcwilliam01:
I have tried the updated battery mod and 100% still reverts to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Since everyone seems to have issues with the battery icons.. I figure I might as well upload my own little frankenstein hacked SystemUI.

The ONLY thing I've changed so far is to fix the icons 100%, and to update the charging xml file to animate the charging icons (They fill from 0 to 100% now when charging, that's it).

Also the %s are a bit different than stock, as I used my old Icons from another phone.. they go from Red (10%) to Orange (25%) to Yellow (50%) to Green (90%) then Blue (up to 100%). (Might be slightly off on the %s heh).

The icon is based off the "Circle Battery Normal" which you see here.

This is based off the current v0.1.0, and of course use at your own risk, blah blah.

I didn't create a flash, it's a SystemUI.apk only... I'm a bit lazy and at work at the moment. But you should be able to drop this right into the /system/app folder overwriting the current.. then recovery/wipe caches and good to go. Or you can just push via ADB when in recovery or something. (I think I got a SystemUI.apk has stopped message once , but that was to be expected since I did this when the phone was running.)

Use or or not... your call.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I've noticed the same thing at times about any CM ROM on any phone. They do great work, no question about it but sometimes people refuse to belive there's an error somewhere and blame the user's setup or actual phone.

I understand not all phones are created equal (this was completely obvious with the OG Epics) but when a user does a completely fresh install and hasn't even loaded obscure third party apps and has issues...it's the ROM.

I think data is a good example in the current CM10 thread. Many people are saying data takes a bit hit when CM10 is on their phone, but everyone is dismissing it as Network Vision upgrades when they can switch to a TW ROM right away and not have the issues.

Random reboots is another. I've never had one, NOT ONE, on this ROM but if you ever question the stability of the CM10 ROM, you'll get flamed to death. The worst part is most people are having them when accepting an incoming call or trying to dial out. I know voice is used a lot less today due to text messaging (as sad as that may be) but it's still a pretty important feature of a PHONE IMO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cam3ron1:
Lol I had an old school epic too ha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
So I uninstalled the one app that I installed after flashing 0.1.0 (Note Everything) and Maps is still running wild. 2310 wake locks!?!? This is driving me nuts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
If you want maps to stop running go in location settings and uncheck everything. Then force close maps.

It's not just GPS, you need to turn off all location services so apps won't ping your location based upon your nearest cell tower.

If you do this you will no longer get weather updates based on where you are. Along with other location based apps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steezc:
Thanks for taking the time to do so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Thought I would take a moment to say how much I like this ROM and thanks. I've been rooted since day 1, July 1st (needed WIFI tether) but otherwise running completely stock till yesterday when after reading so many good reviews I went ahead and flashed it. I absolutely love all the tweaks and mods while retaining the TW feel. Great job here and thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
That is just silly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Once again, that would just be a bandaid for the problem and would limit my use of the phone. I'm assuming not everyone who has GPS and location services enabled is having the same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Well it makes since if you have location access for whatever app. It'll ping your location based on what cell tower your near. I'm assuming this function is imbedded within Google maps.

So that any app that request your location will use Google maps to do it's job.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
I had the same issue a few days ago and I went into Application Manager>Running Services> and stopped all instances of MAPS, there were around 3 or 4 I do not remember but now Maps is only using about 14% and it is 4th on my usage list below cell standby. Just a thought.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fresh_TD:
to the person who is having issues with high map usage, I see that people are trying to help you and no fixes are working for you.. How about you start from scratch.. re-download the rom>wipe everything 3 times>then flash the rom and hopefully the issue won't be there:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
good suggestion but the wipe 3 times died a long time ago. That was the way back in CWM 3.xxx days.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] treedog5:
let me just say to the person with the high maps issue. i had this issue also about 2 weeks ago and after a lot of looking around, i found out it was a app that i had installed called slacker radio. after i uninstalled that one app my maps issue went away. so my advise would be to check the apps you have installed.

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
How'd you figure out that it was Slacker Radio?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
1) Go into app drawer

2) Open app called "Quick Panel Settings"

3) You're welcome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Yes... Go into Apps and look for "QuickPanel Settings", that will let you enable/disable and reorder some of the settings.

If you need additonal functionality such as adding your own, I use an app from the market called "Notification Toggles" and/or "Widgetsoid" (depending on my mood hehe). Both work well.

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

there are many apps in the market that tell you whats running in the background ..like "betterbatterystats" is one of them.. you can search in the market for something similar to that app..and it will tell you what is causing the issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
I'm using GSam Battery Monitor Pro. It points to Maps as the offending app but it doesn't pinpoint which apps are causing it to run. Unless I'm missing something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
do yourself a favor. do a full wipe and flash the rom.

test it out before you install or restore anything.

i think you'll see you won't have that issue.

then keep adding a few things at a time.

if you can't troubleshoot your way out of it now,

you need to start clean where it works ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
@clankfu- even though maps is high on ur battery stats. Id be happy sitting at 92% with over 6hrs of use lol

Its gotta be an app though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:

what about Google Now ?

don't remove it, but turn it to OFF in google now settings,

wipe caches and reboot - give that a try
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
I'll give that a shot. I'm going to see if following this advice helps first:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Note Everything is pretty damn cool btw. Thanks for the rec.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
and perhaps if you TB freeze Maps, the app that needs it and is causing battery drain,

Too many requests for features in here. Can you say feature bloat? People are acting like this is a rom kitchen and everyone wants something different. Personally I would prefer to keep it simple!
