[Q] Phone is constantly trying to get gps fix

---

My Galaxy S2 is constantly trying to get gps fix. Is there any way to find out which program that is responsible for this?

long-press the home-button, start task manager and see which apps are running perhaps?

According to task manager WidgetLock is the only program running.

I need a program that monitor all programs and what they do at what time:)

I have your answer


That damn samsung vingo voice control App(don't know name) while driving. I guarantee that's your problem. Gad the same issue when I made a mistake and clicked it

this.

You could always just turn the GPS off.

That program I mentioned auto switches GPS on.

I have run it a couple of times myself, and then a couple of times to impress women, over the course of a few days - never had GPS issues with it, or excessive battery drainage.

just checked my battery useage and was kinda shocked: gps status uses most battery



i get _decent_ battery life out of my sgs2. 60% after ~24h with moderate useage. so it does not drain the battery but

i never did turn on gps since the last charge so its strange why gps status uses battery... the process is not shown as running which is also strange...





i have german sgs2 with KE2 (no updates in Kies shown for my device so far). unrooted phone.

edit: i dont want deinstall the program as i get extreme fast gps fix (< 5 seconds) so i wanted to hear if anyone else is having similar experiences with the program first...
