HTC M8 Agent IQ Battery Drain?
Ever since the update i have been getting the Dish icon (like GPS) appearing consistently for 10-20 minutes at a time in a given hour. The battery drain since the update is horrible. Go to work, look at my phone 2 hours in and its at 50% battery. Go into manage apps and see Agent IQ under android services. says its running for over 24 hours? when i try to stop the app. It stops for about 3-5 minutes and then is initiated again. I have no GPS on , no auto update apps....what the heck.... tried the hard reboot after stopping the program and nothing....this is getting to be ridiculous. Any one else having the issue? i see it in other forums about the ATT update/Agent IQ issue but nothing here in the community....weird

However, in general, chicago has far greater network connectivity and reliability than in the metro-Pitt and neighboring regions, if not for the lack of mountains alone. And the most regular trigger of the GPS item in my experience has been going between networks, so I would have expected the problem to be worse in/around Pitt. Very odd, but will keep monitoring now that I'm back in Chicago.
This is inexplicably frustrating. AT&T, could you just pretend like you care? Perhaps have one of the mods drop one of those canned "send me a DM with you phone info and well help you out" messages so we at least know you've acknowledged several of your customers are having issues?

Try disabling the app 'DriveMode' and see if it helps. This was suggested in another forum.

The issue seems to be getting worse....was running in airplane mode as i tried everything to have it stop draining the battery. Seems by lack of adequate response that its a legal thing that ATT does not want to actually address. [Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].we shouldnt have to buy new phones, trade them in or pay absolutely anything out of pocket for this bull. Its amazing how these companies work against the folks that made them big in the beginning....

Did you actually try to disable Drive Mode (to confirm whether it works or not), as opposed to ranting about legalities?
Yes, we all know the phone has Carrier IQ. But it did before 4.4.4, and it didn't cause this issue. Its a bug related to IQ, but probably also related to other things. As this would explain why it turns GPS on in some conditions, and not others.

you're lucky!! unfortunately, no the issue is still happening...even through airplane mode. Tried the Drive mode suggestion, all location services off, no GPS, Hangouts or others....tried turning off all background data but nothing changes....currently the phone has been off the charger for 57 minutes and currently the charge stands at 42% have the power save on as well....just seems like a lost cause. If i did something with the phone i could understand having these types of programs/malware on the device....but getting this bug installed through a forced update is what is crazy
