Hello,
I have a problem with builtin GPS, which is common on every WM device, I think. When I want to use GPS logger, GPS will stop, when the device is goig to standby mode. But if I have external GPS connected via bluetooth, GPS logger still logs data from bluetooth GPS.
Is here any program or way to manually control GPS power ? I thing, that automatic providing of GPS is because of battery drain.
For example music player still plays even the device is in standby, but GPS not run.
Yes I can use "do not power off device" and only lock, but display without backlight still consume too much energy.

Any idea ?

The only way I ever found is to switch off the display with psShutxp, and the gps still on as my off road program (compegps).
It works onme

see you
