Can you turn off the GPS and what effect would it have? Is GPS the connection to the mobile network so you can make calls and send texts etc, if so, it makes sense that you couldn't or wouldn't want to turn that off as essentially, it would make your phone not a phone :-)

The second largest battery hog is using the phone as a phone. The third largest battery hog is probably screen brightness sat hi. The fourth largest battery hog is probably Wi-Fi. However, this is only the case when Wi-Fi is actively maintaining a connection. If 3G, for G, or LTE is the connection instead, that becomes the similar large battery drain. Active Bluetooth is probably fifth. In active Bluetooth that is turned on drains 1% to 3% per hour, so is a minimal battery drain.
