    Welcome to the forum

    I'm not explicitly familiar with the Xperia line but is that a specific GPS app or is it a map app? If so, which one. I ask because on all my Android phones GPS is turned on or off based on location service settings.

    thank you for your reply.
    it's actually a map app,using location service which declares the use of gps,the service remains in background and prevents the phone from sleeping thoroughly.

    I have used an app called Waze that does the same thing but Waze can be closed and the battery drain halted as soon as it's closed. You may want to consider a different MAP app if it can't be stopped.
