Re: Is there a way to allow an app to "wake up" the GPS?

No way of doing that that I am aware of.

The power consumption will remain the same regardless of your setting in the Location screen. The GPS isnt active all them time when its turned to "public". Its only active when an application requests its use. SmartPhoneTracker is a fantastic app, I use it as well. If you leave your location set to public, you will notice no more battery drain than before.

edit: holy crap, where'd all my posts go? I used to have like 10 or so in the past two years I've been a member here... hehe
