Nite have you tried to manually stop maps? See if that helps. If you don't know go to settings applications manage apps find maps and stop it.

There were two Maps services running. I removed some apps that may be using GPS for location, turned off Google location services and did a simulated battery pull. Maps isn't anywhere in my battery stats today, so I'm assuming the issue has been resolved.

As for Rild, I think it was fluke. It was the only time I've ever seen it, and I find it odd that both the OP and I saw it on the same day. Strange.

Is RILD not the updater?

From the Motorola forums... RILD = Radio Interface Layer Daemon. I have no idea what it does.

For me, the best I can tell, high rild is related to the phone and what tower I'm connecting to. I live on the south east corner of Lake Michigan. There are not a lot of towers here for a variety of reason. The closest (only?) one I know of is 10 miles to my east, and if I connect there I have no problem with rild and my battery easily lasts all day. But if it connects to the tower about 90 miles west of me (across the lake), I have very high rild and my battery might not even last the morning. I can tell this is the problem because my display clock is showing Central, not Eastern, time.

I just wish I knew why it does it and could make it stop.

If it is a 4G issue, turn off the 4G and use 3G.

I thought I had tried this without success before, but after reading your post I thought I'd give it another try since it'd been a high rild day. So I put it on CDMA only, turned off the phone then back on (just to make my battery app start with a clean slate) and it's been running for several hours now without rild even showing up. Hopefully this may be a workaround!

I was hopeful this would do it, but no joy. This morning was fine but this afternoon I noticed my battery dropping rapidly, the wrong time being displayed, and the odious 'rild' back with high battery use.

So it's not a 4G issue - at least for me.
