Public bug reported:
for battery efficiency the GPS is in a power saving mode when the phone is off,
if the user unlocks the phone and turns the screen on there are various
activities they might want to do that require a location fix, for example
taking a photograph or visting a web page that requests the location.
Apps may be able to look at the timestamp of the location provided and request
an update if it is too old, but this will result in the user waiting for the
phone.
At the point of unlocking the screen the phone should start getting a fix,
anticipating any location aware activity happening.
