This is the second day in a row google maps is the top app user of battery (behind screen of course).... the kicker is I have never even opened the app! Overall the battery life is still very good, but I don't get why maps is using my battery if I never use the app... I did open it up to see if I could force it to close, but I didn't see anything. Anyone else have this issue? I have the phone on wifi most of the day if that matters.
I noticed that too. Be sure you're signed out of the latitude layer. Also consider disabling geo tagging in the camera app settings...
Holy cow, there are a bunch of settings to turn off in maps. Who knew? Been noticing maps using battery also, but it didn't occur to me to go into its menu and look around.
i was curious about that.. the only thing i could think of was its the gps from the weather widget and it was labeled as maps instead of gps

that might be it, I signed out of lattitude and fixed the setting so it so it didn't update my location. Thanks for the tip, hope that fixes it
You should be able to report the app from the battery usage screen. Tap Google maps and report should be on the top right.
I do that whenever one of my app is misbehaving. It will help the devs fix the bug.

Mine was super dead and wouldn't even turn on when Received mine, I let it charge all night and unplugged it this morning and am down to 64% after 3 hours and 30 minutes of heavy use. I notice that it also was at 92% when I unplugged it so far better than the 3d but we shall see after a weeks worth of use or so.

I just did this, for a while I had location detection off.... but I like to be able to google search a business or place and have it show me the nearest locations of that business.... and that doesn't work if you turn off location detection... not to mention the weather lock screen doesn't work.... so right now my only solution is to leave the location detection on and live with maps eating my batter in the background.... I'm waiting a few more months to let the various dev created roms mature a bit before I try something other than stock sense
This happened to me several days in a row I don't use latitude and I reported it...I'm confused to be honest.

I am having the same issue and I am curious if you fixed it. I have Sony Xperia Twith ICS but I guess this is not related to the mobile. What settings are needed to stop this high battery consumption?
Thanks,

If you use ROM toolbox, you can go to auto-starts and disable all the receivers for Google maps (or most of them, you choose which specific receivers). I think there are like 16 different receivers.

+1...I have every start up event disabled for Maps in autostarts (available in play store) and it doesn't start unless I launch it myself. You could freeze it with titanium backup also, but then you'll need to defrost whenever you wanna use it which can be annoying.

Is anyone elses weather widget not updating correctly? I go to a differnt city an hour away for work and it never changes to that city! And I have it set to my location. I even click refresh a thousand times and it doesnt change. The only thing that changes it is rebooting the device. Also sometimes it just says My Current Location.
What is your device? Probably you will need WiFi/mobile network to update your location.

Have u taken and deleted the widget and added it new again. There is one or two other checkbox options that u are asked for the first time u put it up.
At least on the ics/sense 4.0 rom I run on my 3d that's what the deal is. I would assume its the same for the official release.

This is getting real aggravating! The only way my weather updates my location is by rebooting the phone!! I have everything checked in settings. All the Location aI dont remember if it did this before I started using a Custom Rom or not. Does anyones weather update automatically wherever they go in real time? I dont know what to do anymore its driving me nuts! Help anyone?

Hhmmm....I havent noticed that at all. Ive noticed it with my WeatheBug App. Bug not the stock weather app...and u have everything under Locations in the settings checked?
EDIT....Now i dont know if its because i just woke up (But damn it felt good to sleep 2 extra hours, TIme to go golfing in Beverly at 11. Come join) so i dont know if this is due to the weather, but it seems everytime i head into a different town, i get a pop-up to select my time zone, so this way the time stays up to date. Im not sure if that what your talking about. I just checked my Setting inside the Weather app, and i was surprised to see that there was no check underneath "my current location"....Is that checked off for you?
Ha! What's up man. Ya I have all that checked! I get that time pop up too. Bug when I go to work in Norwood from.New Bedford my weather NEVER changes towns not even when I get to Norwood unless I reboot. What Rom are u on? I'm getting the SG3 in a few weeks too, but I'm gonna keep this phone too cuz I love it but this weather thing is driving me crazy.

Im having the same problem, it staring to bug me. Im coming up on day 14 on saturday so I wonder if anyone found out whats going on and if other people are having the same problem. By the way I live in Norwood.
You have to check current location when choosing the clock widget. Try deleting it and adding a new one and make sure to click current location. I had the same problem until I did this.

My weather widget app always shows that that the current weather is thunderstorms, regardless of where I am. I have to open it up and it'll refresh to sunny or cloudy. Then if I don't use by phone for a bit it'll go back to thunderstorms. I just checked and I didn't have currently location checked so that'll hopefully fix my issue.

Does anyone have an issue with the location service on this phone? I seems like the only city it will display is New York anymore. No matter where I go all I get is "current location" even with every form of location service turned on.
I would use a 3rd party app as they work fine for my location but they lag on keeping time.
Very frustrating.
hah, man i ALWAYS had this issue with HTC stuff. started on the OG Inc. i honestly think it's accuweather, which is the widget provider. i had current location the other day, when no other GPS app had an issue. i ran a GPS tester, and it locked on in like 3 seconds and was accurate to 10 feet. pretty damn good. i think it's just how bad accuweather is...it can be a blizzard outside but accuweather will just say "cloudy." i've reported this NUMEROUS times to them how their current weather is 100% wrong, and they just say "sorry." and that there's nothing they can do..like seriously? accuweather is garbage. i remember asking dev's back in the Inc days if there was a way to poll from antoher weawther service in that and they all said no..oh well
damnit, go figure. today mines showing currnet location and will not pickup my town! stupid accuweather.com
funny thing is that it seemed to show current location once i got to work, which was in a building that had reception, too...and now even home, it won't show my town..odd.

Anyone find a resolution to this "current location" issue? My phone's weather has had "current location" for over a week now. I didn't have the issue when I first got the phone, so I don't know if it was a setting or if something has changed with Accuweather. I can understand it not finding the city I live in, but I work in a city with a metro population close to 3 million people.

I have the same issue where in the city would remain as current location and to have the issue fixed , i had to go to the Settings > APP and find the weather app and then clear the cache and Clear Defaults . I hope this might help although this is not the actual fix just a work around.:angel:
i'm pretty sure its accuweather and how it's reporting your location with the weather app on sense..
if you use beautiful widgets or one of those and use accuweather, the town usually comes up. i think its something between sense weather and accuweather. been going on since like sense 1.0..so annoying
Go into the settings for the widget and set the city. Also delete NY. Should take care if it. I have no issues as I move around during the day.
Go to settings > Locations > and just select google location services, uncheck all the other boxes. Works for me. If you select more than one service it seems to confuse the issue.
Removing all except Google locations and performing a reboot (with fast boot unchecked) solved it for me. It is now showing the cities. Pet peeve eliminated. Thank you.

This issue is so strange to me. I've been using the default HTC weather widget for months now and I have never had an issue.
Now for about a week now, it just says "current location" and the weather info is inaccurate. I've made no significant changes and I have tried every suggested fix with no luck (check/un-checking options in location settings - reinstalling weather app - clearing cache - etc, etc, etc).
This is beyond frustrating. Thinking of calling Verizon support tonight, but doubtful that will accomplish anything.
Is this DNA specific? I've read a lot about this issue on DNA's only.
Sigh.

Just walked into a Verizon store to explain the problem.
Their response..... "Hmmm, I'm not really sure, that's weird. I would suggest using a different weather widget"
Are you kidding me?

What did you expect them to say. Most of them probably haven't touched a DNA for more than 5 minutes. They are Verizon employees, not HTC employees.

You expected the low paid employees at your local vzw store to know how to fix every fringe issue about every device they sell.
You are more knowledgeable about the DNA than they are, and that is to be expected. If you want customer support, call customer support.

All my locations seem to work fine, except Google Now says location is not on but it shows weather. I hasn't given me traffic for my calendar or seem to let me add those cards, it's not working right. I have 2 locations in settings for Google and then the phone and VZW's. Usually I remember seeing 3 not 4 in my other phones.
Google Maps has location tracking data under "My Timeline." Historically it has been super accurate, showing the roads I used even when driving long distances. I also always use Google Maps. Ever since I switched to the Mate 10 Pro, this data has been straight lines across 20-40 miles of distance and highly inaccurate arrival times. I thought it was just Google, but I switched back to an Essential Phone and it became perfectly accurate again. I'm back to the Mate 10 Pro and I hope it'll work now, but I'm not holding my breath.
I often use the departure and arrival times in My Timeline for work data, so I'd love if it worked. Any thoughts?

Did you try to accurate your GPS with any GPS app on the store??
I have same experience. I believe it's to do with Huawei battery saver. Pls let me know if you find a solution

I have not, but I use Google Maps extensively and never had even the smallest problem with accuracy. Always follows the road accurately and instantly recognizes turns (unlike the built in GPS in my Lexus sometimes). The "My Timeline" data is often just a straight line between my house and my destination, even if it's across a bridge.

That's unfortunate. Will do.
Same here, whatever i tried didn't solve it (even clean cache and data).... Even tried disabling battery optimization settings on Maps and Google Services... Nothing. I also have indications that is has something to do with multiple google accounts (i find some locations being reported in some of my other accounts). Are you on a single account? But yes, same problems, straight lines, lost stops, no routes, getting stuck in one location for hours etc...
im only on one account. is there a bigger huawei users forum than this one and the huawei subreddit?
i feel like theres so many questions with no answers and nothing being done about it

I checked TimeLine today and since 27/01/2018, journeys are recorded with the correct level of detail again! Google Maps app last updated 04/01/2018 and I'm still on C432. No idea what changed to start TimeLine working again properly but obviously I'm really happy. Can anyone else report that journeys are being correctly recorded again?
Nope no change.
I've got the same issue. I tried all of the tips and tricks I found online to no avail. Mine just says No Visited Places. ONce is awhile it does show a place. It pisses me off tremendously. Google Timeline is a great tool to remember where you've been
If you can't remember where you've been then you have bigger problems than Google Maps not working properly!
Personally, I try to turn everything OFF that records location(s).

Huami is changing weather servers/providers. Some people see the cities only in Chinese, others see a completely wrong information. Try to choose the city manually on phone, if it doesn't work then there is little you can do besides wait for it to be fixed by Huami.

Weather information is getting from Xioami servers by some popular web sites, about which provider do you talking?
I had/have the same with Verge: wrong language (Chinese), detection of cities (locations), wrong temperature (often is incorrect). But I saw in Google app and my manufacturer app is the same. Amazfit using the same sources, so maybe problem is with sources

Me annoying much more update weather process in Verge at all. In phone all weathers apps doing itself automatic that, why in Verge I need all the time to open app and to sync. It's draining battery of watch much more (I have to charge battery of watch every 2-3 days, with sync I have to do much faster) and weather still is not good. About weather temperature I agree it's s...k, but as mentioned will be fixed that by Huami soon.
