You may be confusing "enabled" and "on". For example, HTC Sense phones have a home screen feature that looks like an on/off switch for GPS. That, however, controls whether GPS is enabled. GPS is only truly powered on if some application is looking for location data. GPS receivers consume a fair bit of battery life, so you do not want to keep them powered on all of the time. -- Mark Murphy CommonsWare mmur...@commonsware.com http://commonsware.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
