Google Maps/Services is KILLING my battery!

[wilder_jw]

I have a Hyperion extended battery, and it's down to 45% today on very light use. Google Maps is 18% of that, and Google Services is 18% of it. This is just unacceptable.

FWIW, In Maps I have Location Reporting turned OFF. This was the culprit in the past, but it obviously isn't the culprit this time. I can't figure out what else to try while maintaining some GPS capability. Any ideas?

Download Wakelock Detector. I did this and learned it was exchange services doing it. Turned sync off and the problem fixed itself. Not saying that's your problem, but it will give you the answer.

I actually just turned off Location and Google Search, and it still helped a lot. I'm on my second day off-battery and at 64%. Thanks!
