[Q]GPS running in background, even when closed?

[ballex]

I've noticed something strange. When I start up my phone the process mem is about 50%. (using hardSpl 1.40 unsigned and SwiftBL 1.55)

After I start the gps up (tomtom 7) and then close it the memory goes up and stays at about 60%.

If I reboot the phone its back to 50%.

It seems that the gps is active somewhere in the background.

Is this an issue anyone else seems to have? And is there any way to terminate gps so it wont suck memory?

I wouldn't say it's the GPS still active, it could just be bad memory management by WM.

Does using Oxios Hibernate help?

I read an article about WMs memory management that stated that the OS doesn't claim back RAM until it's needed by other things.

I did try with oxios hibernate and it doesn't really seem to help. Seems that all programs used makes the memory amount used before starting it, bigger after closing it. Any solution for this? A soft reset (eg. rebooting) will make the memory normal but isn't there any better way?
