I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T (SGH-I777). I loved the phone, but whenever I enabled "Google location service" under "System Settings -> Location Services" by battery would drain very rapidly. Using BetterBatteryStats, I found that I was getting location wakelocks (I forget the...

That's great to know, thanks! Looks like my phone just updated to that. That was an issue that I couldn't get around, unless I turned off Location Settings or Used Greenify on the Play Store.

It seems to be that Google Play keeps using the Network Locator wakelocks. When I hibernate Play, these wakelocks are reduced drastically.

Actually, greenify is working well with maps now. I found that the issue is, when I'm running Greenify, and I toggle Location Services -> Use Wireless Networks to off, then back on, it never turns back on again. However, if I leave this setting on, or I reboot after doing the setting, then...

The maps issue has actually been present for a while in previous versions. I did do a full wipe though before installing this version. I may give greenify another try though, because I would really like to have maps functionality available without having to change my location settings every time.

Problems with stock messaging app I tried searching this forum but didn't find anything.... I just updated to 3.0.2 (late to the party, I know), and the Messaging app keeps crashing, and I'm not able to run it. It's not a huge deal, I was able to download Handcent, but wondering if anyone...

I agree. I've run many ROMs on the Captivate (Galaxy S) and Galaxy S2, and this is by far my favorite. Many ROMs have issues which are total show-stoppers (i.e. phone reboot when it rings), but I haven't had any issues with this one, and it has plenty of great features. So thanks to the...

I've been playing around with various settings. I found that just unchecking GPS will drastically reduce the wakelocks of Google Maps. Unclicking Location Services will do it as well (and reduce wakelocks to 0), but the GPS toggle is a little bit quicker to get to.

What launcher are you using? ---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ---------- Never mind. Can't delete question.

I used TiBu to change my Gmail to a user app. I'll see how it goes and let you know.

Thanks. So people just go through and restore system type settings manually after every wipe? That's fine, I'm just wondering what other people do.

When someone does a full wipe to go to a new major version of this ROM, do you use Titanium Backup to restore System data? I heard that was a bad thing to do. I'd like to test out the newest ROM, it just takes a while to restore system settings without TiBu (i.e ringtone, GMail settings...

I have GMail issue as well. I'm using Swiftkey.

I have same issue. I notice it mostly when I try to access an email from the notification pulldown.

Boot Loop issue I tried to upgrade from 2.0.5 to 2.5.1. I downloaded the new ROM to my phone, booted into recovery, did a full wipe, then did an install. I got a bootloop that went as far as the SHOSTOCK3 screen. Tried this multiple times and kept getting a boot loop. Then, I plugged my...
