is there an app that will detect which app is using my gps. my gps is is on all the time tried to to find it but the only way i have found is to turn my gps off
What's wrong with turning gps off if you're not using it?

I would like to know which app is causing it to stay on
More than likely its BC you have it set for GPS to automatically detect your location...

Do you have a weather widget or something?

Do you have location enabled in the Browser?

Hey all. So I live in Milford CT, yet no matter what I do, the location features of this phone continue to put me in Mastic, NY. When I use my GPS on Maps, everything is fine. But all of the apps and websites (Google, Facebook, Beautiful Widgets, etc...) keep determining my location incorrectly. I searched on Google and out here, but not having any luck. Any thoughts? Anyone else found a fix for this, outside of manually setting location?

I always run with GPS and network location. GPS only never really works for me.

I tried that...no deal...only happens on CM7. Very weird.

I was on CM7 and could not get a GPS at all. Tried DW2.6 and could not get a lock either, even with the GPS patch and standing outside. I may have seen fixes for this issue a while ago but can't find them for the life of me

I've used navigation and GPS tester successfully before, it was only recently that it malfunctioned. I will check out the FasterFix tip
I've seen a thread before of a hack that allowed a phone to connect to the satellites even when not connected to a network.. if anyone has the link to the thread or knows the process can u please share...
I've searched a lot but just come up with people complaing about not connecting to network.. thanks in advance

Network is not required to use GPS. It is just one of your app using GPS to determine ur position such as weather app, map etc

I haven't been able to get a gps lock since yesterday after using navigation on my phone. Any time I open an app that uses location services gps will kick in and will stay stuck on searching for location
Not sure if this is a widespread issue or something wrong with my phone

I guess the weather doesn't help things

I'll assume with all that went down there could be extra cell usage and cell towers not functioning. Cellphone GPS does use the cell towers for location.

Does anyone know how to stop it from using gpa signals? It's using it in almost 20 minutes cycle and it also drains battery. How do you make it stop?

Is that what it is? I see GPS so often as well, if so I'll disable it since I'm rooted. How did you know it is using GPS

That's what I figured you did, just that mind never showed up there. Also I froze it and still get lots of GPS ping. In thinking it's the Google location setting.
