Any way to remove Social Location app without rooting?
- Social Location is killing my battery. 94% battery use
Any way to get rid of it without rooting? I added it to auto-kill on Task Manager but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. It still has a time of "Keep Awake" of 1h8m.
I've run the app and hit Menu>Power Off but that doesn't seem to have done anything either. It just keeps on coming on.
Is rooting and freezing my only option?09-13-2011 12:45 PMLike 0 - Social Location is killing my battery. 94% battery use

Every time i open up the battery use in settings i see it click on itand force close which greys it out. When i reopen the battery use app again its running again and i have the option to force close again.
This app has a mind of its own!

Remember just because the app shows up in your battery use screen doesn't mean it's still running. It just has a list of all apps that were on at some point during that charging cycle09-13-2011 01:33 PMLike 0 - Try opening the social location app, then clicking menu and click "off". after that restart your phone and check to make sure it's not running still (go to menu -> settings -> applications -> running services.

And when I click on the battery use screen and click on the app there, it gives me an option to force close the Social Location app which means its running. So after I force close it, reopen the battery app, tap on Social Location again, the Force close is greyed out (hopefully meaning its not running again).
HOWEVER, 10 minutes later, I'll check the battery use screen, Social Location gets another 1% (95 now!!) so I click on it and the Force close option is selectable again. I check the running services screen at this point and Social Location isn't there so I just Force Close it again via the Battery use details screen.
I've opened the app, hit menu, and shut down but that doesn't seem to work at all
I've added it to the auto-kill list in Task Manager and no dice.
I've shut it down via the app, pulled the battery, and the SOB STILL runs.
I really love this phone but this app is killing it for me.09-13-2011 02:03 PMLike 0 -

- Tell me how it goes. Seems like Motorola needs a hotfix real quick to fix a few things, this, the camera, hissing in the headphones, etc. Sounds like normal early adoption kind of stuff, stuff that gets fixed quickly.09-13-2011 10:27 PMLike 0

This would mean no more root and no more 2nd-init
With the CM team confirming that they're working on the Bionic AND that they have 2nd-init working, I think I'll stick it out and wait till CM709-13-2011 11:42 PMLike 0 - I'm actually wary of any upcoming updates. @P3Droid tweeted that he believes that they've been able to fix the root exploit for the d3/Bionic and it would probably be included in the next update.

At 70% after 3 hours on battery, 4G and GPS on. Battery graph is extremely smooth -- no spikes or anything, even with moderate use (tweetdeck, checking emails, etc.). This is approximately 2x better battery life than I have seen over Monday and Tuesday
Also, and this was one of my biggest concerns about the phone before, the phone, when at rest on my desk, now stays cool all the time. No random warm spots or anything. Before root, the screen used to heat up randomly. Now it's coooool as a cucumber.
I'm definitely a LOT happier with the Bionic after root.09-14-2011 10:52 AMLike 0
