I have resolved this issue problem. When the browser starts and the google splash page opens up, it has a small checkbox to Enable location (allow sites to request access to your location) if this is checked, then the gps is enabled. Go in browser menu, choose more and settings and unclick Enable location. This prevents the browser from starting gps.
GPS will still work when accessing Maps. On Jan 21, 12:42 pm, Vinay Avasthi <[email protected]> wrote: > I have seen this problem on milestone.
