I cannot for the life of me kill Google maps. It will start right back up. I have it turned off completely with autostarts and with Gemini app manager.
Can go into expert mode with Gemini app manager, kill it, refresh the list, and it will be running again.
I haven't used maps in two days
EDIT: I want maps to run only when I tell it to. So no freezing or disabling.
This is why I want it to stop:

Disable from settings - apps - maps - disable

or turn off gps... thats the only times maps tries anything, otherwise it just wakes up the phone to check for gps which ends up being only like 0.3% battery eating
Ttt
My maps is usually always running, but never uses any battery. Like others said make sure you have GPS off, and if you keep trying to kill it, it will only automatically relaunch which will consume battery. If you don't like it, freeze the app, thats about the only this.

This app is started by a number of intents and receivers. Disabling them will stop it from starting but may also disable features.
You can turn off gps use for location. It will be less accurate but still work using other things like wifi.
Use something like ROM Toolbox, go to app manager and long press maps. Select advanced freeze. Among the many choices look for those containing the word "latitude" or "friends". Uncheck them. Maps should continue to work if you did it right BUT the Latitude & Friends services will probably not work.

Remove Google Maps from any app killer you are using and restart your device. Is it still consuming that much battery power?
Other than freezing it, apps are free to open as they please on Android, something I've never been a fan of.
A simple "kill" will not work...you need to "force stop" it. Settings...Apps...Maps...Force Stop. If you have all autostarts disabled, it won't come back until you open it.

Hi x8 owners,
I have tried a lot of Task Manager, but i haven't found workable "kill all" function because when I push it, then the phone app closes as well and I must to enter the PIN code all the time i used "kill all" option.
Interesting that some "kill all" apps works fine on first try, and do not ask the PIN code after memory clean, but after phone restart this situation changes.
Anybody knows workable solution for kill all?
What should is ignore on "kill all"?
My only chance to switch off the PIN code security and after "kill all" the phone signing in automatically. That's not a good solution for me, because i am a non-prepaid user, so i have to take care about my phone security and my bill as well.
Thank you bros.
Using task killers is not good for the system. Android has an automated ram management system. Use task killers only for rogue apps(better force close it)...
As for your problem I have no idea I don't get any pin when I used kill all(using advanced task killer free)

I'm glad to see your solutions, guys.
The problem is that i don't find "Backup and Restore" app or service on my SonyEricsson X8 phone with Android 1.6.
Why?
maybe you had it to ignore list...
This only happen to me if I run a task killer while USB Debugging is enabled. Try disabling it and check again.

I certainly don't see how they are 'bad' for the system. I kill off apps that could potentially using up my credit in the background to download ads. And, you know, when you use a computer you don't leave every single program open, and wait for the system to automatically kill it when it needs more ram.
Why use an app to kill apps, anyway? Android comes with a perfectly capable applications manager.
better you see the android flowchart system first, android can kill your app when it's very needed like when your memory is too low
use advance task manager
Try A+ Elite Task killer
Works great on my X8

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running on WanamLite XXELKC V5.1.
I just put this new ROM in recently. But now I notice that my battery is getting drained faster than before. The stock battery stats shows that google services is the major contributor.
Any ideas ?
try to disable google now's features.. just open google now and then his settings..
if you have your s3 rooted, you might just delete/move the apps from /system/app folder to your sdcard,
i moved a lot of apps that were consuming battery and now its better so... just another way

The point is... Before tHis ROM, I was running the stock 4.1. 1, with even Google Now turned on....
So i should be able to do the same with this ROM too right.....
I've tried different roms and all the time the battery drain was due to google now
Turn off WiFi location access as when that's on maps will run in background as well as network location service.
Disable apps that run all the time (facebook, Whatsapp). I use App Quarantine to do this, places a widget where you can click to disable, clock to enable +open.
Reduce auto sync apps and their frequency. I generally only have gmail auto.
Before leaving your phone to sleep for 10+ minutes, kill background processes. Majority of the time my ruining apps is ONLY Android Keyboard, (set CPU if I feel like using profiles).

Too bad, but the battery is still so much better than the iphone for length right?
whatsapp consomes closely to no energy.
My Iphone lasted about as long as my S3 with all process tuned (location services off and so on)

All of what you said does make sense....
I don't think that any of my settings have changed after getting the new ROM... So what i am trying to understand is why Google services is suddenly eating up all my battery.....
Anyhow, somewhere someone Suggested to delete all the accounts and add them again..... I tried that and somehow today Google services doesn't seem to be there in the list of battery draining apps......
Let me Keep am eye.... Will keep you posted......

So I've been trying to reduce the amount my phone wakes up. So far in gsam, the ones that consern me are android system and google services. Android system held my phone awake for 1.5 hrs and woke it 70 times. Google services was held awake for 22seconds but woke it 63 times. These are my 2 biggest wakelocks. I have sync turned off etc. How can I stop/ reduce the amount of wake locks?
Well android system is your phone Lol so that has to stay on or you have no ROM at all
And Google services is recommended to be on
If you need info on what the services do than go into the manage apps section than scroll the right so it says all at the top and click on the service and scroll down and it will tell you why that service is needed/ triggered by
Not all of the services will tell you exactly what there for but if your only worried about those 2 than your phone is fine
EDIT: if you scroll to the the running section in app manager and click on a service it gives you what you need to know
this is mine

Are you using latitude? Try disabling google location services to see if that cuts down on the number of wake ups.
Of course if you have sync off you'd think it would kill that too, just taking a guess.

The top app is Facebook in Wakelock Detector. It's the main culprit but I have even disabled the Notifications from the FB app and also disabled it to autostart using AutoRun Manager + Greenify it whenever I don't use it.

I've tried Greenify and it doesn't work all that well. Facebook is one of the apps it just can't hibernate and it always starts up again.
I found a workaround though, but it depends on how intensly you depend on Facebook.
I installed an app called App Quarantine. It puts apps (even system ones) down to sleep without any chance of them starting up again without your consent. The thing is it's not as simple as with Greenify, since when you Quarantine an app, it dissappears from the phone. Icon, widgets, shortcuts, everything, it's like you don't have it installed.
The thing is you have to set a widget from App Quarantine for the app you quarantined and then the widget comes out in form on the app's icon, with a lock on it. If you want to use the app, you just click on the widget and then it comes back to life and opens. If you're done using the app, you click the icon-widget again and it locks it, and that's it.
I use it on the Facebook app and it doesn't come back on eating my battery, however the "downside" is that if you rely constantly on FB notifications and such, you won't get them since the app is quarantined. However I set my Facebook account up so that everytime I get a notification it sends me an email, so via email I'm still "getting my notificacions" even though the app is quarantined.
I guess it depends on everyone's usage of a determined app, but FOR ME it has gone well and saved me a lot of battery life since I've quarantined a bunch of apps that I just use or check a couple of times a day and that are major battery drainers if not controlled.
Thanx for ur suggestion. I'll try the app too.

Hello!
Used Greenify version 2.4, donation, with Xposed.
I have 3 apps configured to be greenified: Viber, WhatsApp and PushBullet.
Apps have no permanent status icons.
All of them use GCM. GCM pushes passing is activated in Greenify .
Whole phone sleeps ok. I don't see much wakups in statistics during the time screen is off.
PushBullet is normally hybernating, getting pushes, waking up. Just like it should by Greenify design.
But Viber and WhatsApp are always staying "Pending" even when screen is off for hours. There is no any notifications or warning on it in Greenify interface. Just "Pending"...
How can I further diagnose my problem? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thanks!
UPD:
The only difference between my apps is that in non grinified state Viber and WhatsApp are stated as "Running in background" when PushBullet is usually stated as "May slow the device when... app is updated". Thus PushBullet behaves more gently in general. Ok. But what the heck is that everlasting "Pending"?
And what dark magic is hiding behind statement "will hibernate in a short time after the screen goes off"?
Hmm... No thoughts at all?
I'm just curious: if there is a Hybernate action shortcut and application can catch the screen lock event WHY subj can't activate this Hybernate action just after screen off???
I also have a somewhat similar issue. Though I have not greenified Google Play Services, when it is shown as Pending and when the Greenify+lock shortcut is used, Google Play Services remains pending even after hours. Should it not be greenified when the shortcut is used?

Mine too. I think google backup transport and android system that keeps google play service running all the time. Even if i manually push It doesnt.

You are right. But in my case manual hibernation works for Google Backup Transport. However, once I unlock the screen, it is again running and keeps running for hours till it is manually hibernated. It also eats a lot of battery.
I seem to have found a way out for Google Play Services. When I hibernated it manually yesterday and when it said that the app, if greenified in the present state, might have issues, I ticked the checkbox for ignoring its state and then manually greenified it. Till now though it runs on screen unlock, it gets automatically hibernated after the screen is off. I have not so far faced any other issues because of my action.
Maybe @Kirrrr can try the same on Viber if this option is available.
@naik2902 can definitely try it on GPS.
However, I am not responsible for any consequences.:fingers-crossed:
It looks quite wrong and strange. Isn't it?

Yes, it is strange. May be the apps like Whatsap, Facebook and Viber use other methods for staying awake!
