maps using high amount of battery after jb

[eodguy2]

like many others, my battery life has suffered since JB. i have noticed over last couple of weeks thats maps using high 20% to 30% and is usually in lead even over screen! i have turned off all google now stuff thinking that was triggering it, but nope. my settings have never changed and prior to jb maps would be very very low unless using navagtion of course. any ideas ???????

how did you acquire JB?

 

[eodguy2]

opps sorry noticed didnt change profile. have S3 now. ota version by the way

 

[lloydstrans]

happens, not to S3 savvy, is GPS trying to hard to find you?

 

[eodguy2]

no. doesnt appear so. was very pleased (especially after coming from razr) with battery life etc prior to jb update. maps just seem to be taking over

 

[lloydstrans]

have you installed Gsam and/or android system? Gsam will tell you your battery hogs and android system you can see if your sensors are working overtime

 

[eodguy2]

no, but just checked it out. may try and see if gives more details

 

[lloydstrans]

run Gsam for a bit and check their readings post your screen shot and our friendly members can offer insight, android system is good for stuck sensors that just keep running and running sucking bat ray

 

[eodguy2]

[lloydstrans]

[eodguy2]

yea know how to screen shot (use swipe method) just didnt know how to post it on here

 

[lloydstrans]

on the phone with the app?

 

[eodguy2]

here is initial screen shot (maybe)

 

[eodguy2]

although above shot showing maps using lower my battery manager still showing 14% as seen in this shot

is that how the GPS symbol is supposed to look on a s3 or is it trying to find you? what is the icon to the right of it? 6 seconds is a short time to figure it out but looks like GPS is going nuts
