Bug #: 33802
Summary: Wikipedia Android app retains GPS access even when it
doesn't need it
Product: Wikimedia Mobile
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: android
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Hi there
Just downloaded the app for Android and am really enjoying it.
I have one comment to make:
When using the Nearby feature to find Wiki articles near my current location,
the GPS device stays on even after I have exited the app. This will cause
severe battery drain if left on. Can you update it to shut down the GPS when
you have moved away from the map view either by closing the app or by selecting
an article or pressing back on the device.
Keep up the great work!
