Public bug reported:
current build number: 256
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
last update: 2015-03-13 11:19:04
version version: 256
version ubuntu: 20150312
version device: 20150310-3201c0a
version custom: 20150216-561-29-186
(same for arale/vivid as well)
If you happen to have a scope that uses location data in background,
your GPS will always be active, doesn't matter what is in the
foreground.
This is a an issue with krillin (standard channel) as the main scope
(Today's) can easily on background when you're using other apps.
If you move to the apps scopes, then GPS will automatically be disabled,
and this won't happen (same for any other scope that doesn't use
location data).
This is only when the user is actively using the phone, as the GPS gets
automatically disabled once the screen turns off. And there is no
timeout at all, it stays there until you move to another scope or turn
off the screen.
