Arrow black constantly on tracking services. This drain my battery?

HI, I recently bought a watch of rock (yes I know, not expensive mans iPhone), iphone app uses constantly in the background location services and black filled in arrow is constantly on the screen. Will this deplete my phones battery faster?

Thanks for the tips!

Nick

No doubt.

Location services use many built in radios to obtain a fix (cellular, Wifi and Bluetooth and accelerometer, gyroscope, compass etc.) not only GPS. Radios that requires power to transmit, receive and process signals.

Apps can ask 'levels of accuracy', so a mapping application can ask for high precision, which uses more power because it combines radio all signals and continually seeks to be precise. Check the application settings to see if you can adjust the precision. It really depends on what data you need to both devices.

You can test to see how the iPhone lasts - ideally the days where you move a similar amount, motion will trigger updates the location.

    Google services and Google Photos have been draining my battery and causing it to heat again. This has been a persistent problem that happens from time to time. I'm looking for solutions and advice here, so it would be great if someone help me with this.

    If all else fails, I could do a software repair or factory reset, but I try to book as a last resort because I know that all data will be erased.

  • High energy impact of Photoshop CC 2015, CEPHmtlEngine Helper constantly being performance-draining my battery!

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and downloaded Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. I have it open and immediately noticed it was draining my battery and I'm even not using the application, it is open just sitting there. I checked the activity monitor, and it shows the energy impact between18-20 when the program is opened. My previous Mac running Photoshop CC 2014 and I could leave that open, reduced in the dock and it is not drain my battery the same as on this new machine running PS CC 2015. To the title of the activity monitor, it shows that the CEPHtmlEngine assistance program has 13 energy impact. What is this "CEPHtmlEngine assistance program? Is it still necessary. In fact, I see two of them in my activity monitor in the drop-down arrow under Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. Why have I not two. I checked my old laptop running Photoshop CC 2014 and there is no such thing CEPHtmlEngine Helper listed below Photoshop CC 2014. Can someone please explain this to me and tell me if it is possible to remove the CEPHtmlEngine assistance program so I stop wasting so much energy to the battery on one of these seemingly useless items. And why I have two of them below Photoshop in activity monitor?

  • Drain the battery... need some advice

    I have an application that runs in the background and runs at every 15,30,60 min based on what the user has configured for. I made a quick call to a Web site gets a little info and then farm the connection. I have a realtimeclocklistener to track the number of minutes configuration is passed since the last update.

    The problem is the same when it is updated every 60 minutes just, he sits there and drains the battery life. Also the connection arrows top right will go up randomly even after that he made the update. I don't know if it's just consciousness or if that is the question.

    Here is the code I am accounting for the data

        public void retrieveData(){
            //Vars
            HttpConnection httpConn = null;
            OutputStream os = null;

            StringBuffer sb = null;
            String separator = "|";
            int chr;
            int index;
            synchronized(this){

                    httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain");
                    if(httpConn.getResponseCode() == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK){
                        //Vars
                            os = httpConn.openOutputStream();
                            os.flush();
                            sb = new StringBuffer();
                            is = httpConn.openDataInputStream();
                            while ((chr = is.read()) != -1) { sb.append((char) chr); }
                            String response = new String(sb.toString().getBytes(),"UTF-8");
                            Vector nodes = new Vector();
                            index = response.indexOf(separator);
                        //Code
                        while(index>=0) {
                            nodes.addElement( response.substring(0, index) );
                            response = response.substring(index+separator.length());
                            index = response.indexOf(separator);
                        }
                        nodes.addElement( response );
                        String[] result = new String[ nodes.size() ];
                        if( nodes.size()>0 ) {
                            for(int loop=0; loop
    

    I watched a lot of samples and other code online, and I don't see anything wrong with my code.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    That everything seems OK to me.  I would be very surprised if this empty code battery a lot, especially if he did invoke every 60 minutes.  Sure that it does not have anything in your RealtimeClockListener you treat?  Also makes the Thread performing the closing down?  It would seem that you could drive this treatment completely out of the RealtimeClockListener, just start the Thread when you want.  If you did that, then I think that your application would have a minimal impact on the battery.

  • I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

    Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Based on your description, I would deduct low or weak signal from your mobile service provider. Digital devices to modulate their energy consumption depending on the strength of the signal they receive from the Tower of the carrier. Low quality/signal strength, higher battery drain. For good check, you need to contact your mobile service provider, because it is the network, which is the cause. It is possible to have a few problems in the areas that you are in.

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '.

  • BlackBerry smartphones which drained my battery?

    There's 1 billion to these threads; I don't know why none of them can be consolidated and stickied so we don't have to re - write one every time.

    Heres my thing because it probably isn't related to one of the others.

    I've suspended my cell phone service because I can't afford it so, basically, I was using my storm as my alarm clock.  Last Tuesday (24) I had fully charged it when I went to bed. didn't this storm but only to set and turn off my alarm.

    Sunday night I still had energy from the battery to the left; Fortunately, I think he said I had about 65% + or something

    Last night or rather this morning (Tuesday) I went to set my alarm clock and my storm was DEAD.  I took out the battery and then put it back in but nothing happened. No re only enabled buttons.  Now, why the hell there he said I had more than 50% and then hours later he wasn't still on?

    Here's the next puzzle game.  So I knew I had a spare part; battery fully charged, so I inserted, it turned on and voila 'passed all tests.  Now, I went to bed at 230 am (late I know) I watched about 20 minutes of video and then had a playlist of songs about 4, so I can go to sleep my alarm was set for 845 am. I know for a fact that he went off cause that I turned it off and oddly enough I went back to sleep.  When I really woke up at 11:00; My Storm was DEAD; I took the battery and put it back in, but nothing happened.

    So lets pretend for a minute that my playlist, drained my battery. is it possible that the battery had just enough power to wake me up when it has been set to turn off?  Or what?

    I did a search and found that same plugging in the unit to a charger that can take up to 20 minutes before it is competely on again so I do.  But a fully charged battery is dead to 9hrs... why? Was - it because once the playlist which made it still drained battery? I am sure that I left it on a playlist one night before but it certainly doesn't have the completely empty.

    Storm would not turn on at all.

    30minutes on 1 battery

    30 minutes on another battery

    1 h on the first battery

    NOTHING

    He took down to the store and they said that my charger port in the thing was faulty... that he was not in charge.

    It is a possiblity that the storm gave me a false reading all the time.

    It took more than 5 hours to RELOAD my battery COMPLETELY; and he has never done this before so my another storm was really defective since it was not really good battery.

    Theres my solution

    I am out of work at 3 pm by the time I get down, it could be 330 pm or maybe even at 16:00. I now have my other (spare) battery which could take awhile too lol

  • It seems that my iPod touch 5th generation drains my battery quickly

    I don't use my iPod touch frequently during the day. I do use internet for and a few games, no video, just Board Games. I still frequently find the pod touch low device running every two days. I'm surprised. My iPad mini retains power for a longer period of time, and I use it more frequently. Bigger battery? I do not know. I have been updating my iPod touch over the years to the last generation, and this is the worst experience I had to drain the battery. What is the latest generation of IOS? I do not know. Any comments would be useful. Thank you.

    My 4th, 5th and 6th gen touch all had battery short life. As it is even now I charge mine every night.

    I think it's more a battery which is part of the question.

    I invested in one of these portable Chargers, so that might be an option, in that you can watch. I also have a charger at work I use in the middle of the day.

  • Flash Player drain my battery?

    I have a home security camera and you must install it for display on the web while I will not stay at home.  I realize that flash player drains my battery fast.  I decided to uninstall it to save my battery.  A few days later, Apple told me to update flash player with the message 'flash player was released to date. I ignored this message because I don't want to drain my battery again.  After that, I opened a Web site.  Safari does not allow me to reach the Web site, but it always appears with the link to download flash player.  I clicked on the link and install then a 'Megabackup' application is also installed in my mac. I don't know what it is and what it does.  Now I have two applications installed in my mac are megabackup and flash player.  I want to uninstall it, but I wonder if apple is asking me to update the 'flash player' again.

    Apple did not update you Flash. Apple doesn't use Flash on any of its web properties, nor does it include Flash with OS X.

    You clicked on a message to update flash scam. This is Commons. Flash must be updated if often that he is a prime target for con artists and the malware distributors, used to trick unsuspecting users into installing shit them instead.

    NEVER download flash player from anywhere other than directly on adobe.com.

    Regarding the flash causing the excessive battery use, Yes, he does. It is well documented.

    Its normal if you use options like sleep & Charge or Wake Up LAN or Wake up on keyboard.
