While I read the blog here : 
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/future-proofing-your-apps.html
I almost had a heart attack. Having a location based application, the
number one issue we had was being able to automatically turn on / off
GPS based on an application setting. Which quite frankly makes some
sense.

Having to prompt the user each time to turn on / off gps is a giant
pain from the standpoint of program flow.

I have used our applications setting to actually turn GPS off, because
it was faster to open our app and close the app, and turn off GPS.
Rather than opening the settings, and doing it that way.

I hope you have updated the market so we can respond to all the
negative feedback regarding having to manually enable GPS/disable
GPS.

The coding change is not the matter. The fact that a useful function
was taken away. Can't there be some way to code GPS state to an
application state?
