My company just got the Nexus last week to develop on.  It's a nice
phone, but something has me seriously concerned.

Whenever the "Use GPS Satellites" option is selected in the Settings
(Settings->Location & Security), the GPS antenna immediately starts
searching for a lock, and won't shut off until it has one.  What
application/phone subsystem is doing that?  How do I disable that
application without turning off the GPS antenna?  Is the GPS antenna
just getting ephemeris information?

Also, if I have the "Use wireless networks" option selected, the
Location Consent form pops up asking me to give Google permission to
collect my location information.  Can't use the network for a location
fix without agreeing to that.

The idea that I'm required to share location information with Google
to get my location off of the network is scary enough (and intrusive I
might add), but the constant use of the GPS antenna is really screwing
with my power consumption.


Thanks.
