Google Maps Fix? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Anyone else notice Google maps taking 30-40% of battery usage? Anyone know a fix for this?
Edit: I have Google now disabled.

How often do you use it? You can keep it from starting up on its own with Autostarts from the play store, or freeze it completely with Ti Backup pro...

Apps freezing?

I asked about this in the questions but got no traction. Lately gmail app would freeze. I had to reset the phone every time to clear the issue. I also try killing all of the apps beforehand. This happens about once or twice a week. Today it happened again and I noticed the people / contacts didn't open after gmail app froze.
Any one know why this is?

+1 on this
Also I noticed if gmail freezes so does Google play. Seems like all g apps are affected.
Fyi I am on stock sense, non rooted, latest prl/update/firmware.
I never had this issue before the update. I have reported this issue several times with no action.

It seems to have something to do with Wallet and the 1.22 OTA. I saw some posts talking about disabling/removing wallet and clearing data on the Google Services Framework. I reset wallet (from within the app) and froze it in TiBu and haven't had the problem since (didn't have to clear data on GSF).
I was running into this issue quite a bit, but then I rooted my phone and it stopped. Didn't even have to throw a mod on
I guess I have to root. Did you do the HTC dev root?

I don't think it's a root-to-fix issue. I had this problem daily with MeanRom, and I think it probably started right when I activated Wallet. I flashed Fresh and haven't run Wallet yet, haven't had the issue in several days.
Also, for me it wasn't just GApps, I also would lose Internet access through the stock browser and through Opera Mini. Tweetcaster still worked, strangely enough.
I've had the same issue -- Chrome, Maps, Navigation, Stock browser, Gmail would all freeze on me. I reset Google Wallet and will let you know if it resolves the issue.
There is a whole thread for this in Q&A already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779737
And you do not have to root. Just uninstall the google wallet updates (don't open wallet again), and clear data on google service framework. Lastly, reboot. I used to "white screen of death" once a day. I'm going on day 2 now without issues.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having wallet? I actually use it.

Indeed it does. All the more reason to get vocal with HTC and sprint about their last ota.
And still no WSOD so it seems to be working.

[APP] DisableService (Solved my GPSD problem!)

Hi,
I would like to share you with this application.
It's called DisableService.
Not only did it solve my GPS Daemon problem but it has also improved my battery quite a bit!
Disable Service helps you to disable services running in the background such as "push service" ,"upload service" or "pull ad service" and so on.

Pair it with Wakelock Detector to analyze and maximize on what you can do with the application.

Thanks for the app.
Would be nice if we could make a list of services that we can disable.
I have media server problems, anyone know what's the service name.

Mine was GTalk.
Go to System Apps/Google Services Framework
Disable GTalk. That was my GPSd problem. I recommend using Wakelock Detector from Pkay Store first if that was not your problem.

It will depend on your application usage. Basically I disabled everything safe running on my background.
What kind of Media Server problems? Can you elaborate? Screenshot if possible.
Why you didn't try greenify? The general wake locks are from google search/now, google maps.
I get no battery drain after this.

I already have Greenify and Greenify Donate Version.
The problem is, it's located at the Google Services Framework and the GTalk wakelock is like Airdroid, even if you hibernate it won't.
I don't know if it's still an issue in Greenify now but I froze mine.
Thanks so much, the app is amazing , at least I can disable unwanted services like checking for updates and so on ...
but I have a question, does disabling gtalk service have any effect on push notifications like whatsapp or facebook notifications ?
I'm sorry I cannot help you but I can tell you that I do disable Gtalk service and Whatsapp has no problem.

I found one file in system bin, I deleted from root browser, good thing is gpsd doesn't occur in wakelock detector and even in battery screen.
But what I am facing the peoblem is phone gets switched off and will not start with power key. Need to remove battery and then restart aftrt installinh battert. Plz advise whether is did wrong job by deleting gpsd from directory or this kssue is something else.
Awaiting for valaued comments

[Q] Betterbatterystats analysis.

Hello,
Here are some screenshots of my betterbatterystats and the battery history. Anyone have ideas on how to reduce these wakelocks? Also, I have noticed that my screen on time is pretty low yet the battery drained almost down to 0. Such a big increase in such a small amount of wake time (I only browsed the web and watched 2 videos. Any help is appreciated. Btw, from 100 to 97 the on screen time was 15 mins.
Anyone?
I can't help with your specific situation but many people are having issues with Google play services eating up battery. A Google search will return many results.
Only suggestion I have is to disable location services. Although I don't see how it would be relayed to gtalk reconnecting. Sorry

I already have disabled that. Updated OP with full day analysis.

Then you need to post your question in the BBS thread; they've seen every issue you can think of and will be able to give you some guidance.

Is there a way to transfer the pics or will I have to reload them?

Where is Google talk???

It looks like Google talk is causing these partial wakelocks but I can't find it in titanium backup in order to freeze/uninstall it.

Google Hangouts replaces Talk. Look under H not G.
Hmm... that wasn't it. I froze Google+ and TalkBack (never heard of it). Can't find anything else...

Play Store Notifications

Well now I am wondering if it's just me or anyone else having this issue.
I do not let the Play Store auto update apps. I like to do it because it gives me a chance to decide if I want to keep it or not.
I have been noticing that I am not getting notifications from the Play Store when an app needs to be updated. Anyone else noticing this?
Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
I do not have this issue. Make sure you go into notifications area of play store and check "app updates available".
Yup. That's done.
