Brian Strohm commented on CB-1603:
----------------------------------
I am experiencing a similar issue with an app. I have noticed that the icon
will only display if you have Compass Calibration turned on under
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services. If you have Location
Services turned off on your phone, all of these settings are disabled by
default, if you have it turned on, they are all enabled by default. My client
is really hung up about this and we can't seem to figure out why it's happening
even though the app isn't using any location services. Note: We are alos using
jQuery Mobile.
> Compass / Geolocation issue on iOS 6 (iPhone)
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1603
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Environment: iPhone 5, iOS 6
> Reporter: Martin Ambrus
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: geolocation, location
> Fix For: 2.3.0

> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.3+) using Cordova 2.1 and developed
> in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. This is true only
> for devices that have iOS 6 installed. User is never asked if they want to
> reveal their location to the app, so it's probably the Compass plugin kicking
> in.
> What we see is the compass arrow on the right-hand top side of iPhone screen
> (status bar). When the application closes, arrow disappears.
> This is an issue for us, as it drains considerably more battery than version
> running on iOS 5.1, where this problem does not exist.
> We have tried to remove all - Location, Compass and GeoLocation plugins from
> the Cordova.plist to no avail.
