How can this answer be correct?
Some applications use the GPS, for example, even in background mode. If I kill the only such running app, there is no need for the GPS and there should be a substantial reduction in power usage, no?
- mchahn 11y ago> there should be a substantial reduction in power usage, no? There is no way to know by just watching the phone's behavior. The task could be using 0.1% or 10%. If the GPS is processed mostly by hardware and the app just periodically reads the hardware the usage could be miniscule.
