OK so this is completely new to me. My current location for weather has changed. Any ideas? It almost looks like Arabic text, however the location weather is correct. Any ideas? Driving me crazy.

for the jihad!!!!
i would try rebooting, if that doesnt help maybe turn on gps and fiddle with maps until you get a location for yourself then re-sync the weather.

tried it all man. I've rebooted, restored various roms and they all switch to that as my location, tried maps too. no dice on anything.
like i said, the weather condition and temps are correct.....UGH!
I think it looks like its from around Indonesia or Malaysia? Maybe your phone thinks you are on vacation in Kuala Lumpur
Hah well glad I know what locale my phone thinks I'm at. Driving me crazy though. Between this and my new found poor bluetooth A2DP streaming I think I may be heading towards a replacement phone.
In case this comes up with others, it's a bug with VZW's location services. Make sure to not have that turned on. HTC apparently acknowledges this bug with their weather widget and the service. Google and GPS are fine to use.

Following up more. I'm rooted and this only seems to be affecting custom ROMs. Stock sense does not have this problem. Not positive now what this is, but it is still happening.
Having the same issue on my phone. Running Bamf 1.3 and the 1.76ghz kernel and apparently my phone things i'm in Iceland, when i'm really in Florida lol. Weird as heck bug.

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.
I have searched all evening to try and find out how I got this icon in my status bar. Could someone please tell me what it is for?? It's the one left of the WiFi icon. I am running Gingeritis v1.0 Beta IX. Thanks to anyone who can help. This icon doesn't appear in any android status bar icon list that I could find.

I'm pretty sure thats a GPS icon. try turning off GPS,see if it dissapears or changes.
Mike
Thanks for the input, but I have all three GPS on and still have the icon. If I uncheck all of them, the icon goes away!! But turn on any one of them and it comes back. Makes no sense.
Its the "Location" icon. A few ROMs removed it. It's kind of useless... just ignore it.
The crosshair is location. The two curved lines on the right of it is gps. It will be there when any location or gps activities are taking place. It will go away when all location or gps is turned off. This includes all things that are location based( weather, browser, or any app that uses location) not just maps or navigation.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your input. No, I'm not trolling. I didn't see this icon on any icon list. What a useless icon. Yes, I KNOW I have GPS on!!

I think if you turn all 3 gps OFF that icon will go away.
there's been a gps icon for years
On stock ROMs, I believe that icon is always there and is because of the e911 service, which in the US cannot be disabled.
It's not there on the DAS BAMF ROM I'm currently running on the Thunderbolt, but it's there all the time on my stock Droid Charge.

Hey xda.
Seems like some google service is keeping the phone awake, all the time. I tried turning off auto syncing but no go

Any suggestions? I'm on Villainrom atm
Probably you have Latitude turned on or you have Maps in the background trying to find its location all the time.
First turn off Settings => Location and Security => Use Wireless Networks
Then try to turn off Latitude. Since it's one of the first apps that I freeze after flashing a new ROM, I don't know how it's done.
Wireless Networks was actually turned on. Turned it off. I will monitor it to see if its being kept awake now, thanks. Is it supposed to keep the phone awake that much though?
Latitude was turned off though, i think. At least it says "Join Latitude" in google maps, so I suppose its disabled.
@OP- You tried Turning Off Sync, but you haven't tried turning off GPS. It is on all time.
Regards.
Nah GPS was off all of the time
Ask about it on the Better Battery Stats thread.

According to your screenshot, it's the network location finding service that's keeping your phone alive, so turning wireless network location service should help. However, if it's not Latitude or Maps, you have another program which is constantly trying to find the phone's location. It could be a widget or any other app. Take a close look at what's running in the background and try to find out.
So this has happened twice now. First on MeanBean and now on Sense 5 Port. Well here's my story
I wake up, then 3 hours later my battery life is dead. Looked at the battery consumption and usage and it was in fact Google Services.. again. I don't know how I fixed it the first time, but damn its annoying and it overheats my phone like no other. Is there a way to fix it?
Searching online I found that factory resets and all that work, as well as disabling google now, done both but still nothing. Do I just wait it out?

Clear data in Google play services and play store, then head to sync and accounts and turn Google sync off, reboot your phone, once the system is loaded go back and re-enable sync and wait for everything to sync, all of the Google services that you have selected should have a green checkmark, open play store and make sure you have the latest version... After that you should be good...

I mentioned this in the original sense 5 thread, but check your playstore version. If it is below 4.1.10, then search for a more recent version. I think there is a leaked version of 4.2.3. That should do it.
For a while now (10-14 days) my google assistant has not been working properly. Specifically, it does not listen on the screen off. If I turn on the listening manually, it works as expected. I have looked for information and it seems to be something to do with GDPR. Is it currently possible to run 'ok google' ? I would like to add that the phone is set in Polish (PL) and I would like to keep this language

Try disabling and re-enabling your voice detection. Maybe clear data for the Google app and retrain your voice model.

If you find any solution, pls let me know.
I tried everything I could find. I've updated to Android 13 but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping it's a bug in Google app and waiting for fixes in updates.
I uninstalled Google app updates and now it's working again (working Google app version 13.48.11.26). So, it's definitely a Google app bug.
