High Battery Utilization from Google Maps with UCLH1 Stock ROM

[RiPpeR_dUdE]

Anyone else notice higher battery usage from Google Maps with UCLH1 based stock ROM as compared to UCLG1 stock?

I've disabled all the Location Services and still seeing it as the highest battery usage. If restore back to UCLG1, battery usage looks "normal" again.

Would be interested to see what others are seeing....

There's got to be something wrong with the latest maps. I have a user at work on an HTC Rezound that had serious reboots because of it. It's a known issue amongst Rezound and Sensation users and the latest Google Maps.

Possibly a combination of the latest updates along with ROM version; possibly phone... ???I don't have the problem on 2 HTC One X phones I have or when I revert back to UCLG1 based ROM, very strange.

Would be nice if others would chime in on whether they're seeing the same problem and under what conditions.

Yes it appears to be a combination of the new ICS release for the Rezound and the newest maps.

Yes! Maps keeps a partial wake lock due to the network locator process. I'm not switching back so I need to find a way to fix it on H1

You should be able to find an older version and install it.

"Autostarts" from the market can disable maps. (still works normally if you click on it)

I'm on LG1 still and latest maps. I also notice high utilization for it.

Maps

I noticed earlier today that Maps was a big part of battery use. Went ahead and disabled GPS will hopefully notice something positive after next couple battery cycles.

This might not solve but seems to help -

Go to Maps, Settings, Location Settings, unchecked report my location from this device. Reboot.

It still runs in background and has wake lock but no where near as close to what it was doing before. I think this is just the way the new maps is so we may have to wait for the next release to hopefully fix it

Per my original post, I've already disabled all Location services, this does not resolve the problem when using the latest H1 ROM. I've now reverted back to G1 stock (using the same Google Maps) and no longer having the problem, so obviously a bug with the last leaked release; probably why it hasn't been officially released yet. Also, I didn't gain much updating to the H1 release and can't stand the display brightness option on the drop down.

With H1 stock ROM I was upwards of 50%-60% utilization, now with stock G1 and the same Map version I'm only at 2%-5% (I do have Location Services enabled), so obviously an issue with the latest H1 release.

I was at 40% yesterday but after un checking the box and rebooting. This is today on H1. So obviously not an issue with H1 for me at least.

Correct, but my comment was in regards to having the Location features ENABLED... with G1 stock ROM, this feature enabled is utilizing very little battery as compared to the very high usage when on the H1 ROM.


EDIT: Looks like you need to run the Cell Standby patch..

 

[RiPpeR_dUdE]

I've attached a screen of my battery usage with Location services enabled with the G1 ROM, as you can see very low.

Dude all my location services are on, look. It's working fine

Not going to debate with you, you just stated in your previous post that you were at 40% until you unchecked it and rebooted.... maybe I mis-understood exactly what you meant.

I unchecked the box in maps that says report my location from my device. No clue what this does as it still runs in background and location services work. Location history still works. As this screenshot shows maps is still keeping my phone awake and using gps but for whatever reason it doesn't drain battery like yesterday. Can't explain it but just saying that the truth

That setting is required in order for latitude to work correctly and follow you.

Right, so I turned that off but all other location services are on including location history. I don't use latitude so doesn't bother me to turn that off.
