**Battery Drain Analysis – Catastrophic Discharge (1% in 30 Seconds)** **Summary** The log confirms a rapid battery discharge: from **25% to 24% in exactly 30 seconds**, indicating an abnormally high power consumption (~120 mAh/min). The root cause is a combination of continuous GPS usage and repeated failed network attempts by the **Locus Map** app (`menion.android.locus`) while operating in the background. --- ### 🔍 Key Evidence from Log 1. **GPS Activity Every Second** - Locus Map holds a `PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'GpsConnection'` (UID 10273, PID 20313). - GPS location updates occur **every second**: ``` PassiveonLocationChanged gps 1760194444000 PassiveonLocationChanged gps 1760194445000 ... ``` - This prevents the device from entering deep sleep. 2. **Live Tracking Fails to Connect** - The app repeatedly tries to send data to `live-track.locusmap.eu`. - DNS resolution fails consistently: ``` java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "live-track.locusmap.eu" DNS failed (10273) : 255 ``` - These failed attempts trigger **retries every second**, keeping the cellular modem active. 3. **Poor Network Conditions** - Device is on **EDGE/HSUPA** (2G/3G), not 4G/LTE. - Weak signal (`level=0–1`) forces the modem to use **more power** to maintain connection. - Network validation fails: ``` PROBE_HTTP ... UnknownHostException: ... connectivitycheck.gstatic.com ``` 4. **Additional Background Load** - **Tasker** (`net.dinglisch.android.taskerm`) also runs background services with location access, though less intensively. - Google Play Services (`com.google.android.gms`) shows minor location activity but is **not the primary cause**. --- ### 🛠️ Recommendations 1. **Stop Locus Map Completely** - Force-stop the app or disable **Live Tracking**. - Go to **Settings → Apps → Locus Map → Battery → Restrict background activity**. 2. **Disable Live Tracking (If Not Needed)** - In Locus Map: Settings → Live Tracking → Turn OFF. 3. **Improve Network Conditions** - If possible, move to an area with **4G/LTE coverage**. - Alternatively, **enable Airplane Mode** temporarily to confirm if modem activity is the issue. 4. **Check Tasker Profiles** - Review any Tasker tasks that request location or run services in the background. 5. **Monitor Battery Usage** - After changes, check **Settings → Battery** to confirm Locus Map no longer dominates usage. --- ### 💡 Quick Diagnostic Test - **Enable Airplane Mode** for 1–2 minutes. - If battery **stops draining rapidly**, the issue is **network-related** (modem + failed requests). - If drain **continues**, the issue is **GPS/sensor-related** (less likely here). --- **Conclusion** The catastrophic battery drain is caused by **Locus Map’s Live Tracking feature**, which continuously uses GPS and repeatedly attempts (and fails) to send data over a weak 2G/3G connection. Disabling Live Tracking or restricting the app’s background activity will resolve the issue.
