Re: BAF GPS Toggle [Today Screen]
The bug with turning the phone off with GPS on this is that it crashes the GPS service. As far as I can tell, the GPS service is responsible for turning off GPS to save power, without the service you may have bad battery life (can you confirm or disprove this, schettj?).

Welll, no, I can't. I turned off the service friday. Battery life is nearly identical, hard to say for sure since I keep fiddling with GPS all the time - but for sure, it's in the ballpark of the same (ie, using about 30-40% of my battery in a typical day)

I'll keep an eye on it, but near as I can tell, if you've put your GPS in stand-alone mode, the service is a BAD THING, not a good thing.
