There are a few threads about this in both Q and A as well as General. It could be Maps caching the area or other apps that are using the GPS.
Edit: Here's one from a little while back with something that worked for the OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334342&highlight=maps

I had this problem too. Maps would always be one of the top three consumers of my battery, even though I never used it. I app quarantined it.
I think Greenify would work as well if you still want to use Maps.

Zero problems here, doesn't even show in battery stats. I'm on stock unrooted.

Op same thing here

It's used 4% of my battery and I haven't even opened the maps app. Running modded version of CM10 with working IR and GPS
Swyped from my VZW SGS 4

it happens when i use Google Now. i end up killing the maps after using it. i even have location turned off.

Greenify works well for this.

Destroying my battery today after I reflashed last night. Ended up uninstalling maps. Guess I'll just install it when I need it...

Maps draining battery?

I use google map version 6.0.2, but after using and return to idle mode, the device drain battery quickly, about 5% for 1 hour.
If restarted, all back to normal, about 1% for 2 hours.
I'm not using Google Latitude. And "Use wireless networks" always checked
Plz help me.
That is cuz mapps stay in you RAM.
Kill it in manage application in settings.

That's how Android works... apps stay in RAM - killing apps is NOT the answer unless they are misbehaving, which Maps doesn't. There is a reason for unusual battery drain, and that ain't it. Needs more methodical investigation.

of course, i use xperia neo.
Not a stock ROM, so you're on your own. The Stock SE .42 ROM and Maps are fine.
which ROM do you use?
I use stock room .42 + themes GS2.
//stock room .42 use google map 5.6. No "download arena map" feature.
6.0.3 is the latest Maps version by the way
How often does that happen? Had that a couple of times, because maps couldn't find my location by GPS.

Is your wifi constantly downloading?

When I'm in wifi the download arrow is constantly blinking. On for a sec then off. I don't have any push accounts. When on just 3g it doesn't do that at all, no data transfered unless I open a app or so something. It's murdering battery constantly connecting. I downloaded network traffic to try and see what is usually the data but it just shows "system". Using "system pannel". The data transfers are only at a few KB/s speeds so it's not large data files.
I've tried force closing all apps and it doesn't do anything. I have downloaded no apps that need constant sync. Gmail sync is stopped.

Do you use YouTube and do you have pre loading option on?

Cool I didn't even know that existed. But no, that option is unchecked.
I'll do a factory reset if needed but I don't it to come to that.
The data speeds are miniscule so it's like some odd transfer or authentication.

Now that you mention it, mine seems to be downloading quite a bit on Wi-Fi as well. My battery life is pretty good and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. So I'm not worried about it. But just wanted to let you know mine does that too when I'm on Wi-Fi.

Chameleon Launcher

Hi I would like to know if anyone manage to get this (chameleon launcher) to work on their Note i1717. I tried to download the beta from the play store but says my phone isn't compatible, while I have also read that others got it to work properly. If anyone can confirm that this works and give a brief description to get it to work, it would be greatly appreciated.
PS. I just don't wanna waste $10 and not get it to work. Would like to try beforehand.

I tried it out before the really had anything for it. Maybe four widgets. I never had a chance to check the location or timer screen functions. It looked to be cool but nothing really worked yet. I took it off my girlfriends tab. She donated to kick start for it. I haven't tried it in weeks though. Maybe its gotten better. I really like the idea. I'll pull it again and give it a try and report back. I don't think you'll be able to get it from the play store though.
Edit added some screen shots from the note. Still crashed all the time on all the widgets. Just not made for it I guess.

ok, i can't understand a lot of things...for example, why in the first log i have a wakelock of 2.3% by alarm manager and the phone for the 100% of time is awake..note that i use greenify with all my apps, the only ones that are not hybernated are whatsapp, nova launcher and swype keyboard..gtalk is frozen..how do i have to read the alarms reported by bbs? i know that they happens sometimes, like 100 times but, for how long does they make the phone awake? i don't know if i expressed myself correctly, thanks to all for the attention

Tonight I disabled WiFi data and sync and hybernated every app including launcher whatsapp etc.
Telephone wl is disappeared but alarm manager still pops up...

Greenify hides programs that wake the phone, in this case it was whatsapp with 9% of wakelock...hope this will help someone...

what could be the cause?
Better yet why not grab a logcat and see what is causing wake locks or install one of many apps to do this for you such as better battery stats or watchdog

Some apk's can cause this. Try to do factory reset.
