A couple of months ago I had this issue with my Samsung S4. A process called GPSD is eating away the battery live. The battery only lasted half a day. I tried all the suggestions mentioned on the web from switching off every possible application or uninstalling about everything but nothing worked. The only solution I found was to switch to GSM ONLY network .
I then saw someone wrote that the problem started when the service provider (MTN) made changes to the cell phone network. I wrote a long mail to MTN trying to find out what is going on, and they obviously deny everything, then as mysterious as it appeared it went away.
Now again, yesterday the GPSD process started up again and eating the battery live. I am back to GSM ONLY network. I had all auto updates switch off and hasnt installed or changed any application.
I know that MTN again is going to deny any problems in there network.
My question is has anyone else experienced something like this or am I missing something that I dont know about?
