Public bug reported: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 237 device name: krillin channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed last update: 2015-02-17 17:04:34 version version: 237 version ubuntu: 20150217 version device: 20150216-fe747ac version custom: 20150207-538-29-183
You can easily see if the GPS is active or not by checking the logcat output (running as root). In this case the hardware remains on (consumed by the location-service) after opening a scope such as the weather channel one, and retrieving location. To reproduce: 1 - Reboot the phone; 2 - Open logcat as root: sudo /system/bin/logcat 3 - From today's scope, click on the weather icon (opening the weather channel scopes) 4 - See that the GPS is active and location works as expected 5 - Move away from that scope, and check logcat's output (it will stay active, meaning that the location-service is still active). ** Affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: location-service (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: unity-scopes-api (Ubuntu RTM) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: battery ** Also affects: location-service (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422879 Title: GPS stays active after location data is used by a scope (even after not not using the scopes anymore) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1422879/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
