Turn off GPS
Please Login to Remove!
I was playing around, the other day, with HelloWorld (GPS) application on my BlackBerry 7520...marveling at how it identified my location quite accuratly.
While playing with this app, I needed to turn *ON* the GPS on my BlackBerry from within the application.
After I played with the app for a while, I closed out of the app and promptly forgot I ever did anything with the GPS.
The next morning, after spending all night charging, I noticed that I had half the battery life while driving into work...only 2 hours off of the charger!
After poking around, I figured that this was because the GPS was probably still on. I tried, but I cannot find any setting built into the BlackBerry to turn off the GPS! The only way I could do this was to go back intothe HelloWorld(GPS) application and turn off the GPS from there...
Am I missing something? Does this setting exist somewhere else?
Thanks
