I just read in a post about system-on-chip based smart phones that gps activation is usually restricted to the higher power levels meaning a lot of other modules are also forcibly enabled and eating battery power. my motorola defy by way of example will not acquire first fix w/o the wwan module enabled, i.e. not in flight mode. strangely, once ff was taken, flight mode will work. or so the forums have it... and they also say standby life with gps is under 8 hours as opposed to just under 10 days w/o gps in lab or 6 days in real life conditions. my old bt gps mouse and (now dead) hp hx4700 did much better logging data in tinystocks navio over the bt link... not good
