Hello, I have the LG slider from VM, with Android version 2.3.4. Sometimes when I go to unlock my phone (which has an unlock pattern), it is very unresponsive and sluggish (to the point where it takes 10 seconds to unlock it). Then when it's unlocked it is still just as slow and sluggish until i go to Advanced Task Killer and kill google maps (most of the time it is there).

I am 95% sure that it's google maps that is causing this problem, the only other apps that are running are Swype, Google Services (google messaging service), Free power Widget, Advanced task killer, Launcher, and Android Core Apps.

The problem I am having is Google Maps keeps on opening itself in the background and (from what I think) slowing my phone when I go to unlock it. How do I make Google Maps not open up randomly? I tried closing all the programs that could potentially open it remotely and I have GPS turned off.
