[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I may be wrong, but I don't think the actual culprit is Google maps, but more likely another app that is constantly updating location, thereby keeping it constantly updating.... Maybe a social type app?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
And getting its location data from there, hence having that show up?

That is entirely possible. I have got Facecircle+ widgets running, so that would likely do it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Could be. I'm doing a small test right now because I didn't have maps installed. I just installed it and will see if I start getting drain out of the blue. I am getting very good battery life up to this point, so well see. I've opened it and started it so I know it's running.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Turning off "Googles location service", GPS and "Location & Google search" in Location services helped my battery life as well. I also disabled Maps (you have to uninstall the updates before you can disable it).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Yeah, but ideally I'd love to keep them on if possible.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
I can get great battery life if I turn the power off and never use it except to make phone calls, but that kinda defeats the purpose of having a smart phone, ya know? ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
Small tip re: Maps. You can stop it under apps> running but it will restart on it's own within a couple of hours. Only workaround is freeze or uninstall and clear cache.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Any insight into why my OG isn't going into deep sleep? This battery drain is really getting to me...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
When this happened to me, a fresh kernel install fixed the issue. As for why, I don't know, sorry bro. Rogue app?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Thanks for the tip. I did a fresh install of KernelSk8 2.2 the other day, but I can try that again. Other than that, I don't know what rogue app might be doing this. I haven't really installed much of anything since the battery started acting up about a week ago. Obviously, it could be due to an update to a previously installed app. Any idea on how to track down the culprit? Other than freezing/uninstalling one by one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
@ Digil - PM sent.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Thanks for the tips. FYI, I just froze Maps, and now my phone has been in deep sleep for 7 minutes. That's 7 minutes more than it was getting these past few days. I think I might have found my culprit.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
It shouldn't be doing that. I'm using Maps and get good sleep times.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Freezing Maps is the only thing I did, and now the phone is sleeping like a baby. I'm afraid to unfreeze it now. I'll give it one night with Maps frozen, and then one with it unfrozen and see what the difference is.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
other apps can be causing it (Google maps) to keep polling for location data, too.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
That makes sense. Now that I'm looking around, I realize I installed StubHub app around the time I started having crap battery. I've since unfrozen Maps, and turned off a locations option in the StubHub app. The OG appears to be holding sleep.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Sweet, hope it holds steady and it's a permanent fix. Nothing worse than not being able to find the culprit behind your battery drain. We've all been down that road.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Still can't find the culprit to mine, haha. This sucks ass.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Have you tried using Better Battery to find the problem?

I had 13% drop in battery last night over six hours. When I checked BB it showed that eBay had over 700 wakelocks! I don't think they were all in that 6 hours, but still seemed to be the problem. I froze it with TiBu, and I'll see if that doesn't help my issue.

Weird thing is, the night before it was in deep sleep the whole night. But for some reason eBay acted up, and the OG wasn't in deep sleep at all during the night.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Yeah I have BBS. I don't see any wakelocks or alarms that are draining.

I uninstalled Ebay, force stopped Chameleon launcher and went back to Nova. Didn't have wifi or gps on.

Drained 11% in a 8 hour time frame (sleeping).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
From time to time I have found under manage apps > running one or two that can be stopped, then I run Cachemate (free) .... hope this helps. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
11% in 8 hrs isn't great, but it's not the 40% in 8hrs I saw last night. I thought I found my culprit, as I was seeing good deep sleep. Well, I woke up this morning to see that the phone basically didn't sleep at all last night. This is damn annoying!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Well, after freezing eBay and unchecking debugging mode here's my battery info from the past day where I didn't charge it at all. Granted this is with pretty light use compared to what I usually do. Just some light browsing and simple app use. No games or anything like that. It's still at 60% in case you can't tell.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Nasty, what's your screen on time...?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Thanks. Looks like your battery is doing just fine now, eh? :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Nice to see people are getting their battery issues resolved. Mine's similar to Nastybutler now after freezing a few stock apps like Music, Music Widget, Social+, and some others (which will soon be deleted).

Last night my phone lost <1% over 7 hours (cellular and WiFi both off) while I slept. In the same configuration a few nights ago, it was close to 30% loss. In addition to that, I had the phone on for over 13 hours, with 2+ hours screen on time web browsing and texting and I was down to 76% battery. Very happy with the battery life now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Wish my battery was like that. Any specific steps on what you've done?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
I didn't do anything major. I turned off Google Now, unchecked all location services, checked my installed apps for those that might poll maps for location (like the StubHub app I mentioned a few posts earlier) and turned that option off. Then checked to see what apps were running that seemed out of place, and froze them. Mostly, I saw some stock apps running that really had no reason to be running. I froze stock Music app and its widget, stock Weather widget, Social+, maybe one or two more.

I'm running The Base 0.7.3 with Sk8 v2.2 kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Just by taking these screen shots and posting them I've lost another five percent. Help? Three hours off charger, not even half an hour of screen on, and lost ten percent.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
Murasakiii -

There are a few people with a couple of workarounds on the N4 forum- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1999368

They are only workarounds because the issue is kernel related. They seem to have a kernel that addresses the issue - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2008222

We can only wait, I suppose. Sorry if none of this is new to you, just hoping to help. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
@ murasakiii - with all the battery issues you're having, you may want to think about finally trying one of the custom ROM's. You're still just stock, rooted, right?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Nope, I actually flashed Nocturnal a few days ago in hopes that the msm wakelocks would stop. And to no avail, they are still there. :P
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Is that the hsic lock or a different one?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
It's the same thing, just didn't feel like typing it all haha. msm_hsic_host, the one in my screenshot..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Patsfan123:
They won't stop until someone posts a kernel addressing this issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Is this likely to be fixed in an official update or are we on our own?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
::beer::

Fix in update is possible - most likely as source for JB is released for this phone one of the devs here will be able to tackle it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] miller150:
I've lost thirty percent in under an hour. WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and the like off, brightness at 0%, no background apps, no push updates, fd toggle on... My one major kernel wakelock is msm_hsic_host. My battery is usually not incredible, but this is worse than usual. :(

Any suggestions?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Fast dormancy should be set to "disabled", or off. You say above that it is on...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] miller150:
By on I mean that the app is installed and active- it is set to disabled.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kong00:
Android os showing a high percentage was a common bug on ics that was fixed in jb. My battery drain is normal with Android os taking most of my battery in battery stats. I still get 4 hours of onscreen time which is normal.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DonMarek:
Do you guys know the easiest way to revert from the ics version of gnow back to the standard google search without reflashing everything? I want to test if that may help my battery life, especially as I don't really use gnow that often anyways.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kong00:
Uninstall it through tibu then reinstall through google play. See if that works.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DonMarek:
Just tried and sadly the only version of google search on the play store is gnow, so it's unsupported. But luckily once I uninstalled gnow, I was able to pull the apk for ics google search off of a stock based rom's zip, copied it into /system/app/ and rebooted and everything works like before. Just took a few more steps than initially thought, haha.

[Mobile Ad Networks] chongnyen:
Hi all,

I would like to seek your feedback on your experience with mobile ad networks. Should I be engaging the big players like AdMob or can I go to smaller ad networks? They all look the same to me, offering the same services.

Cheers!
[Mobile Ad Networks] NewRain:
In my apps I usually combine several ad networks. Admob has a very small eCPM, so Im using iAd + Mobfox + Admob for iPhone and Mobfox + Admob for android.
[Mobile Ad Networks] eraste:
It really depends on what your app is for, does, etc. For instance I develop live wallpapers. So I would need an ad company that would work with live wallpapers not necessarily a "regular app".

Personally I use leadbolt:

The only ad type from them I use is the notification ad. They offer different types this one works for me. Since my live wallpapers aren't traditional apps that users enter this works great since it will display a small ad in the notification bar that is easily "cleared" if the user chooses not to click it. They are not forced to click, etc. This means your users wont leave a lot of those spam 1 star ratings. Its also easy to implement with eclipse. You can also set how often the users see the ad (in days).

They have a good payout plan and i'm not greedy so the starting low earnings is ok because it grows with your user base. Permissions needed for this company is 5. Standard number for most apps.

The second company I just started using is StartApp.

They pay on an per install basis not by ads. So for each US install of your app you get $.055. So if you get 1000 US installs thats $55USD. They pay a lower amount for non us installs i believe its $.04 and $.01 for returning users meaning if a user has one of your apps installed and download another with start app in it you make $.01 not $.055.

This one is a little more tricky however because the user must accept the terms when they install your app for you to get credit. Once they do that they get a search icon, browser bookmark, and one other thing. All of which can be deleted right then after install without effecting your app or your pay. As long as they accept the terms you get paid.

Permissions needed for this company is 15 i believe. Which most are just to access the settings of the different third party launchers out there and not listed in the Google play store listing.

Startapp doesn't generate as many bad or negative reviews as others.

All in all im happy with both and haven't gotten any negative reviews since implementing either. However just started using Startapp 2 days ago so ill wait and see how that does.

You can use either of these along with other companies at the same time. I use leadbolt and startapp in some of my apps at the same time.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Izzysoft:
One thing you should also keep in mind is your users' privacy. Don't forget you bundle those ad modules with your own app -- so they also have access to everything your app has access to. And some networks make use of (or rather abuse) this. Also, it makes it harder to explain your app's permissions to the user -- not everybody is satisfied by "well, that's just for the ads".

Some useful readings on this include:

Android Adware abusing permissions, Collecting more than they need

How to Curb Aggressive Mobile Ad Networks

Android ad networks found accessing users’ private data

Android apps and advertising: A bit too cozy

Again: while some ad modules require too much permissions themselves (you can check that e.g. at Top Mobile Ad Networks), some additionally abuse the permissions your own app needs.
[Mobile Ad Networks] leviteo:
Ad networks = profit from free apps. Android users do not like paying for apps so thats the smartest way to be paid for the hard work while development process
[Mobile Ad Networks] furqanrydhan:
Ad networks are a great way for you to make solid revenue on android
[Mobile Ad Networks] HighTouch_IT:
In my experience I would say:

Good for Admob

Less than sufficient for Startapp (dropped a lot after the Google's changes )
[Mobile Ad Networks] AdIQuity -:
Hi,

Being an ad network, we understand such concerns. There are app developers who look for different way to monetize via (their) app. Ad networks help them to do it in easy way. Ad networks facilitate app developers with right solution.

For any app developer, there is nothing more gratifying than app monetization, and that's what Ad networks do. We help app developer to monetize well.
[Mobile Ad Networks] kevin619:
That's the problem really, comparing Leadbolt against Admob is not an apple vs apple comparison. One is a push network (plus in-app and icon and walls, etc.), another is in-app banners.

As a benchmark... In July last year I made over $300 from referral revenues, this month, it stands at $4 from over 200 referrals. These numbers do indeed speak for themselves.

As I always say, some ad networks work great for some people, maybe this works for you. Maybe Leadbolt works for many others too, and if it does, I'm happy for you.

It just doesn't work for me... too bad...
[Mobile Ad Networks] KennCK:
Thanks guys, this thread is what I'm looking for.
[Mobile Ad Networks] srdananjaya:
I prefer to use big player.. for big player usually give you a smaller ecpm, but there is scam potency for smaller ad network..

don't want to take risk for that..

as changing ad provider means we must update our apps in play store, if we just say that our update is only change the ad provider, our user won't be interested to update their apps.. we must make significant update in the codes to.. that means times too.. while we all know.. times is precious and expensive too :D

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnMotass:
I have exactly the same problem with my Galaxy Ace (Latinoamerican version but it makes no difference). I think it happens because of the warming of the battery that harms durability...

[HTC EVO 3D] matt965:
I'm still pretty new to this stuff. I have my Evo V all rooted, s-off, h-boot 1.04, and it is running like a 3D with the Sprint radio firmware. Currently, I am running CM10 Gangnam Style. I was running the Dec. 5 release until today my phone was doing bootloops (I still don't know what caused it). I decided to go for the latest release and it boots fine, but now 4G will not turn on. It just says "Unable to start Wimax".

I tried wiping cache, user data, dalvik cache. Nothing worked. Has anybody else experienced this?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Did you overwrite your wimax keys? There is a Wimax Key Checker app in the market (Play Store).
[HTC EVO 3D] matt965:
Do you have a raw apk? I have been trying to get it installed and the Play Store says it's not compatible with my Evo.

Edit: I just got an idea. I remember before installing CM9 on it, I backed up everything including the Wimax partition. If indeed the problem is a missing key, could restoring the Wimax partition restore the key?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Yeah, but most likely a clean, fresh flash is what I would try first. Sometimes stuff gets wonky and needs a clean start over.
[HTC EVO 3D] matt965:
Seems I'm not the only one with this problem. I downgraded back to the Dec. 5 release and Wimax started working again. I forgot to mention in the first post that I did do a clean install.
