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.

Viper 4g 2.0.2 is very mature and stable. And its a sense ROM. It was my 1dt custom ROM very easy until I went to CMX and pa which I use daily!

On TouchWiz, my weather doesn't seem to be updating my location to where I am. For example, it's set to the GPS location in the settings, so when I'm around home -- I get "San Francisco" on the widget, but say if I go to Oakland for the day, it will never update to "Oakland" despite being there all day and even manually updating it. I have the settings to update every hour and I use it quite a bit. It's one thing I am used to Sense cooperating with and I'm looking for a fix. Any ideas?
Anyone? Really bugging me...

I can't get either the weather widget, or the weather on the lockscreen to find my location and show the weather? My wife has same phone sitting right next to me, working with no problems. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, I turned on all location services and it would just sit there trying to find my location. It would then say it couldn't find it and if I would like to retry now or later. I did a restart on my device and waited a bit. Pulled up maps etc and then tried again. It finally worked and is working good so far. Hope that lame fix works for you.
Check your dbms...... It's probably -100 or worse.

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.

Fixed it on mine by doing a factory reset and then going to location and unchecked Verizon location services..Also in network settings put it in lte cdma mode and in roaming alow access for all trips. Hope this helps.

This happens from time to time with mine. To fix it I go into settings>apps>all>weather ... Clear cache, reboot and all is better.

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.
I have a problem with weather widget that is found on blink feed. The problem is that it displays the wrong weather information and also from time to time ill also get wrong gps cordinates. I live in texas but for some reason it keeps getting weather information from arizona. (also with the gps) I noticed that it had happened after the ota update that tmobile sent out . Was wondering if anybody has been having the same problem? And if so can you help??

Are you rooted or working with any Sense Rom other than the real stock?
Do highs e mock locations enabled in the development options of the phone?

None of the above. Not rooted or no mock locations are activated.
I should also say that for some reason it only happens around my neighborhood.but when i leave to go to school or anywhere else then it will change back to the normal weather.
I have had the same issue for a couple of months. When I go to Walmart down the street, it shows I am in Taylorsville, Utah. Every single day I drive past Walmart and BAM... I am in Utah. It changes back to my correct location (Deer Park, TX) after a certain distance. It's ridiculous. That's quite a far drive. I think over 1000 miles. So I don't understand this glitch.
