GPS doesn't switch off

Jacek Zaleski shared this problem 6 years ago
Not a Problem

I have "Disable when hidden" set ON. No other function using GPS activity is on.

For few minutes GPS switches off when display is off.

But when activate/deactivate display several times GPS stops to switch off and stays active all the time.

It's not a matter of a strange setting becasue it was working correctly until current version.

Hi Jacek,

Locus Map uses new Google "Fused location provider" for the most accurate and battery efficient location. The system GPS on/off is managed by Google Play Services, not by Locus.

Michal,

I'm not sure if we understandand each other.

Locus requests for a GPS when location is switched on. I can see it in a notification bar of my phone.

Locus has a setting "Disable when hidden" which should release GPS if Locus display is off.

It worked as describe above until current version.


Now it doesn't work this way.

When display is switched on/off several times, Locus stops to release GPS when display is off.

I can see in notification bar that Locus instantly requests for GPS.

In my opinion it has nothing to do with Google "Fused location provider" since Locus requests for GPS.
