[Touch-packages] [Bug 1407921] Re: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps
Hi Matthew, I am aware of that. But Location turned on/off and GPS turned on/off is not the same. At least that is what I was experiencing and what I tried to describe. Without me touching the location settings (turned off) GPS (visible under Battery) could be turned on (without me turning it on). Because that happened to me I am not sure if internally the same ist still going on but now with the GPS button gone I can not find out. I suppose it would do the job to make sure, that if location is turned off GPS definitly is turned of as well. By the way there is no option for location services only based network triagulation but without GPS, right? I wonder if that would be usefull to get you a rough position for Here Maps but you would not have to turn on GPS wich would for instance reduce battery life. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-location in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407921 Title: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Indicator Location: New Status in Ubuntu theme: Fix Committed Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in indicator-location package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The only information the location indicator icon conveys currently is whether location detection is enabled at all, when more data could be interesting.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1407921] Re: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps
With OTA 10.1 on my BQ E5 GPS did turn itself on every now and so on - without me turning locationservices on, that was still off. I could not find a pattern to it at the time. That was of course reducing battery lifetime. On OTA 10.1 the GPS on/off button was still available under the battery settings, that's how I found out about it. With OTA 11 this button has disappeared, so I do sometimes wonder if internally GPS is still turned on occasionally (and apps could be able to use location-services?) but now I do not have any way to find out. So, yes with the indicator showing GPS usage that would solve that problem as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-location in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407921 Title: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Indicator Location: New Status in Ubuntu theme: Fix Committed Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in indicator-location package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The only information the location indicator icon conveys currently is whether location detection is enabled at all, when more data could be interesting.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1407921] Re: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps

Now that the location-service component of this is getting addressed in bug #1536774 I think we can make progress on this ticket and also on sibling bug #1235300.. Bartosz, do you think your proposed icons still make sense now that the GPS menuitem's been removed from the indicator (bug #1351299)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-location in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407921 Title: Indicator should give feedback when location-service is in use by apps Status in Indicator Location: New Status in Ubuntu theme: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in indicator-location package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The only information the location indicator icon conveys currently is whether location detection is enabled at all, when more data could be interesting.
