Filip Maj commented on CB-509:
------------------------------
Related to this, I'm planning on landing a W3C-compliant rewrite of geolocation
in cordova in 1.7 (tracked in CB-359). Includes a native iOS component. I would
like to make sure that when I merge that in next week this bug is also covered.
> geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down under iOS
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-509
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-509
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Andrea Zicchetti
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: CDVLocation, battery, clearWatch, gps, shutdown,
> stopLocation
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
> Attachments: CDVLocationShim.zip
>
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h
>
> Calling navigator.geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down.
> It's no longer possible to manually invoke geolocation.stop() (and thus the
> corresponding stopLocation function in CDVLocation), which was a temporary
> solution with previous phonegap/cordova versions.
> It's quite a problem because an application using the GPS even for a short
> amount of time will completely drain the battery in a few hours.
