this did the trick for me, thank you!

Turning off Location Reporting and Location history in Maps seems to have stopped my phone from draining >10%/hr. Now it is at a respectable <5% with light use while I'm at work.

I left "Access Location" on in there, and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I'll add to this later if I see a change.

I'm having the same wakelock (NlpCollectorWakelock).. In 7 hours and 35 minutes it has 4118 counts (11,8%) for a total of 54 minutes.. NlpWakeLock has 1681 counts (0.7%) for a total of 3 minutes and 9 seconds... I have disabled location reporting and location history in the maps app (google location settings), and I'm hoping this will fix it..

Device: HTC One X running Sense 5 (MaximusHD 21.1.0).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dcseek:
Hi after reading around about this new problem about google services i found out (in my case) a culprit and maybe a solution.

I tried every combination of disabling e and re-enabling different apps from google and services related to those apps,

in my tests were involved google play services, google +, google now, maps.

the only action that worked was disabling "android device manager" under google settings, history and location reporting in gmaps settings.

after this with acces to my location enabled no more nlpcollectorWakelocks.

hope this helps.

enjoy!

I think this started happening when I installed the update to Google Search, but can't be sure. I went through all my Google apps and see so many updates from factory versions so... I am factory restoring the phone back to square one and I'm not going to install updates anymore until there is some amazing new feature that I can't live without and/or bugs are ironed out.

My RAZR HD usually has a battery that won't quit, but this problem has been causing it to drain like crazy in the last week.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MoonBlade:
i do the following..

turn off location services in settings

and

if you have google now installed turn of that too in googlenow> settings

Dvhexer mentioned in another thread that he used Titanium Backup and wiped data in "Google Services Framework" I tried it and it resolved my issues with this wake lock. I can finally use my smartphone like it's meant to be used again. Now if I could get rid of the msm_hsic wake lock I'd be in great shape:p

Thanks... Just tried this. Appears to be working, at least initially.

Wiping Google Services Framework isn't a good idea.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2303434
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Yep. This happened for FB messenger for me. It did NOT kill G+ notifications though, strangely. Not really any different than restoring these apps from titanium. If the long term effect is fixing my most aggressive wakelock, and the only cost is having to clear app data on the 6 or 7 c2dm apps, once, that I use regularly, it's well worth it for me.

Edit: This fix appears to have survived a dirty-flash ROM upgrade - still getting minimal to no wakelock from NLP Collector, push notifications are working for the stuff I've cleared data on. Location history on, reporting off, as I normally have it set.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thegios:
read thru all thredas and still dont understand what the temporsry solution is...

there are two places where location can be on/off: under general settings and under gmaps, which ones do I have to disable?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gordito_gr:
Turning location off in google settings, stops that wakelock for me, but i cant use maps.

I will try that other suggestion from dcseek, only to turn off device manager and location reporting/history in google settings and will report back
[AT&T LG Optimus G] thegios:
u can but with gps
[AT&T LG Optimus G] catpunt:
Thanks! I did your suggestion and also cleared data on Google services framework and my wakelocks are back to normal.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
if you want any of your apps that rely on google notifications to push again, clear that individual app's data as well, and load it / set it up.

The only side effect I am aware of wiping GSF is that none of the apps that rely on it will get pushes until this is done, but this is a good way to stop all the ones you dont want.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] junkaholic:
I know it's very low tech, but... having factory reset my phone and using all my Google apps as stock on the phone (not updating any of them that don't update themselves...), my battery usage is back to exemplary with the screen being the biggest consumer. So I guess my lesson is, use an old phone. :o
[AT&T LG Optimus G] junkaholic:
Oh yeah. Phone has been unplugged for 6 hours today. Made a couple calls and took a picture, otherwise in my pocket. I leave my Wi-Fi toggle on... and... 98% when I come home. Motorola RAZR HD 2,530 mAH battery comes thru when it's treated nice!!

Based on everything you guys have discussed about how Google is changing its apps... I consider myself lucky that I can dial back those apps to a time when they aren't so persistent in sending my location. I will never update 'em now! Glad my battery is back.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bornin:
This was bothering me to, so I did a fresh install without Gmaps as I don't use it anyway and the wakelock is now still there but all the way on the bottom in BBstats. will see how it goes for a day and then install maps. see how it goes...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hexaae:
SOLVED!

I've experimented the same issues with Google Android services constantly draining the battery of this amazing SP for unknown reasons... then I discovered and installed WLD (Wakelock Detector) from Google Play and found it was indeed a NIpCollectorWakeLock issue so I tested your (logical) solution

disabling 'Remotely locate this device' under Google Settings/Android Device Manager*

and Google Settings/Location > Location Reporting... and I finally resurrected the battery consumption of this incredible LG Optimus G E975!

Before (95% of Awake and seldom in deep-sleep!):

After:

Thank you dcseek for the hint in the right direction, and all others for this thread! :highfive:

Google should really do something about this problem drastically reducing users' batteries...

*Notice: I had those new G services enabled but I didn't grant device admin rights in my Phone Settings/Administrators and this may also explain the cause of GServices continuously failing and retrying...

Thanks for the tips on how to solve this annoying issue
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Aldo6:
Hello everyone, I'm currently in the search of completely disabling this annoying NLP (Network Location Provider) wakelock without having to disable Google's Location Service setting in Location Services. Doing the following, as everybody else noted, has greatly helped:

In Google Settings:

1. Disabling Location Reporting

2. Disabling Location History.

2. Disabling Android Device Manager.

In Android Tuner's App Manager (requires Root/Xposed):

3. Disabling ALL 4 Google Maps Receivers.

4. Disabling 4 Google Play Services location Receivers.

5. DIsabling 2 Google Play Services location Providers.

So far I had no problems disabling these Receivers and Providers, though I'm not recommending anyone to do it (disabling certain Receivers/Providers/Services can cause some Google apps to malfunction).

Nevertheless, I'm still having these relentless NLP wakelocks and alarms, which are the following:

BetterBatteryStats

Under Alarms section

App: com.google.android.gms (Google Play Services)

com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR

It isn't consuming a significant amount of battery, but it's driving me nuts because apparently there's no open application currently using the Location Service (I checked with App Ops). On App Ops, the only applications using Location are Network Location itself and Google Play Services (but if I disable the Location permission for Google Play Service, Google Maps' location breaks).

Uninstalling Google Play Services isn't a choice because I need push notifications via GCM (Google Cloud Messaging). I searched everywhere around XDA and found no solution, anybody?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Com. Google. android. Gms. Is hammering me with alarms as well. I'm seeing good battery life in spite of it. I haven't had time to try to chase it further.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Karpfenhai:
Post this again in the bbs thread, hint Google service framework needs some adjustment for nlp too.

What about weather providers?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] gordito_gr:
The only thing you can do is turn off network location.

And turn it on when needed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sshafranko:
You can also use this if you have xposed and if it suits you....

Check out "Wakelock Terminator" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.andro.wlt

Good Luck

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Aldo6:
My only weather widget is set to manual location and I disabled its Location Permission (once I had this ridiculous 2 hour GPS unexplainable wakelock caused by it). But thanks for the suggestion, I'll be posting on the BetterBatteryStats thread.

Thanks for the information, though I tried Wakelock Terminator before with Xposed and had no luck. Since this is an Alarms issue perhaps that's why any wakelock inhibiting programs (such as Greenify) aren't enough to solve it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] leafs44:
Any solution? I am using a Nexus 5 and this started happening to me in a recent google search update... If I revert to the factory version, it goes away.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sherdog16:
The recent update did the same for me too. Never had a problem, my phone slept great. Now I'm getting millions of collector wakelocks... grrrrr
[AT&T LG Optimus G] toni3000:
Same for me, battery is draining like hell :crying:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] leafs44:
Hopefully Google pushes out a new update that fixes this... Otherwise, I'm gonna have to try to find a solution that isnt turning off loctation completely or staying on an old version.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] leafs44:
Find anything?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sherdog16:
Nothing that gives me back what I wanted. I like location reminders and good battery. I could get that before. Now i get about 2% idle drain with location history and reporting off which sucks considering that's a solid hour of screen time over a day for nothing gained on my end. The only sort of work around I could come up with is turning location off and having tasker automate turning it on for various apps that would want/need it. I ditched that due to the inconvenience and I now deal with the drain. But that even sucks because it slows the process down. I wish they wouldn't have screwed with it...

Oh, what i'm looking at now is killing Google Now (which I don't want to do either because I like the suggested articles it offers) and leaving location on. I just need a night of 8 hours idle to judge the effects. Let me know if you come up with anything.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sshafranko:
Im curious about the gnow idea too. Please post your result. I may try it too but im away right now and dont have time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] leafs44:
Same with me, I like having Google Now and getting weather updates from there. I had location history and reporting off and location set to battery saving, and getting great battery. For now, I am using an older version of Google search, as this stops the wakelocks. I have heard a solution to the latest version, which is disabling the parking card. To disable it you need it to show up first, because once it shows up you have the option to set it to "No" about getting parking updates. Too bad I haven't gotten the card yet (tried updating to latest version when driving somewhere, but it didn't show up, whereas a person I was driving with it did). Hopefully this does fix it, otherwise I'll be staying on the old version or waiting for Google to fix it with an update. I will post in this thread if I stumble across anything else (that doesn't include disabling location or GNow).

Per App Hacking

Hi guys.

I was having the same issues of battery drain.

After I installed Xposed module Per App Hacking and set Google Play Services to Prevent Alarm with a multiplier of x50 everything went back to normal.

Cheers.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sherdog16:
Didn't work for me, thanks for the suggestion though. I've ended up killing Now for now. Bummer but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Maybe I can find an old search apk that doesn't suck...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nrd\:
All, I have come across this post from the reddit because of the npl.alarm.wakelock I am having too and I hopeI have finally solved mine (well only tested for 2 mins but hear me out)

Using Better Battery Stats I noticed under Alarm's the nlp.alarm was very high, 100+.

I googled around and came across posts referencing too Android Device Manager. I opened the app to see if it is working (locating the device). To my surprise it wasn't locating my nexus 4, the status under the phone was finding till it times out/unavailable after 30 seconds or so.

I tested with different Location settings (battery / device) and still failed. I checked the necessary for android device manager (made sure it was admin in security, enabled in google settings) that had no affect.

I then cleared the data cache / data for ADM, logged back in and voila its located the phone within seconds.

Checked the stats in better battery stats and the npl.wakelock dropped in half, low 30's and is now second on the drop down list.

To all those who are having issues check all apps that are querying location, all very well disabling wake locks / changing locations settings in settings but makes sure the the settings in the apps are set to what you need.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] clonfsp:
I dont know if this could help, haven't test it yet, but suspect it can help.: under wifi menu / advanced settings, there is an option that says (translating): Allow google location services to scan for wifi networks even is wifi is dissable. I have untick it and will test over following days.

Hi, i got a generic android tablet momo8 and the front camera works like a mirror and I need it to work like a laptop does cos im working on a website that reads qr codes and it works fine in laptops but the android tablets wont read it correctly. I was wondering if maybe modifying the camera.apk it could work but i dont know much of java to do so and I need it kinda urgently to present it working to some potential client. If somebody could help ill be more than happy ...if someone know of an app that changes that mirror function it will be even better.

Thanks in avance.

Exactly what do you mean by "working like a laptop" ?? ... If it's not reading QR Codes... then there is NOTHING to do with the camera.apk ... It's related to the HARDWARE (maybe the camera quality/resolution is not good enough) ...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ted_simple:
Now I've read a lot here and I've tried Quicktime 6, mpegable ds decoder and 3ivx directshow filters.

They all work more or less (i like 3ivx best), but NONE of them plays the audio.

However the camera application on the ppc can playback video and audio.

What the hell is this? And I dont like Motion JPEG avi cause it's too big.

Converting also seems to be no option: I tried Riverpast Video Cleaner and a heavily upgraded virtual dub mod, but they can't even read the video. Quicktime Pro 6 can at least import the video, but no audio again.

Any ideas?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ted_simple:
If someone wants to do more research, here are two good sites concerning mp4 players:

http://www.audiocoding.com/wiki/index.php?page=Software+Audio+Players+for+Windows

http://www.rarewares.org/

I've now tried WinMPG Video Convert and the Philips Platform4 Player - only video, as always.

I suppose the audio codec used is not the mp4 AAC LC (low complexity) codec because that's the most common one which can be played back by any mp4 player.

btw, mp4UI shows me a video and a audio stream (like most othre applications), but I can only export the video file and there is no information on the audio codec used, seems to be unknow to any program.

I tried several recorded mp4 files, always the same, and they DO playback video+audio on the ppc.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ted_simple:
I'm sticking with MJPEG Avi

That's about 100 kB/s so I can hardly record more than 5 min. But hey who needs to? At least it can be converted by quicktime uncompressed avi export in no time, and then encoded to whatever you want.

More annoying is the fact that I need to remember getting the file off the pocket pc pretty soon because otherwise I will run out of space. I'd prefer taking a series of snapshots and carrying them around with me.

Well copying the file via USB will take almost as long as the video duration is, and a storage card can't be used because it decreases the recording frame rate significantly.

Motion MJPEG also seems to catch more redundant frames (the same picture in two frames) than mp4, but it's still okay.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
cant you just record to your device and then copy the recording to your sd card manualy ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ted_simple:
Yes I thought of that, it would approximately take the same time as the video duration is. If you really need to do another recording while on the go, you can do that to free your memory.

btw, I chose divx5 250 kbit CBR + mp3 in virtual dub, only took a few seconds to encode a minute and now I've got a file that can be played back equally well on both machines. I'm using beta player for pocketpc, and it plays fine in fullscreen using the ati imageon chipset. File size is comparable to choosing the mp4 format in the first place.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ted_simple:
It works now

mp4 video+audio works with quicktime!! hooray!!

Quicktime always told me it couldn't find the software needed on the server.

But when I opened the mp4 file today, the automatic download of the audio codec succeded.

Even with disabled firewall qt couldn't download the software before. Strange.

And I can export it to uncompressed avi if I need to edit the file with other programs.
