<alesage> Hi, I wonder if you can conceive of a user-level test for this GPS tweak?
<rsalveti> hey
<alesage> heya
<alesage> just need to do a cursory check for sanity is all :)
<alesage> finding it difficult to conceive of a simple user-level test
<alesage> would settle for something hardware-y if you'd furnish :)
<rsalveti> there is a way to know if it worked or not, but I don't think there is a way to retrieve that info yet from the location-service itself
<rsalveti> right, ideally we could export a function or something that you could call and location-service would tell you if gps is enabled or not
<alesage> kind-of assuming there's a "are you on, GPS" call
<rsalveti> I don't think that's the case yet
<rsalveti> right
<alesage> hmpf
<rsalveti> but I don't know much about location-service itself
<rsalveti> let me ask others
<alesage> maybe just tell me about your test?
<rsalveti> sure, how I did it
<rsalveti> sudo /system/bin/logcat
<rsalveti> you can see from the logs that the hardware GPS is active, when using it (gmaps/here, scopes with location, etc)
<alesage> hmm ok, will look at
<rsalveti> it stops after moving to a scopes that doesn't use location, or after disabling the screen (power off)
<alesage> ok gotcha
<rsalveti> this fix basically add one more use case
<rsalveti> which is once you are using a scopes that uses location and open another app (like twitter, browser, etc), it should stop the gps hardware
<alesage> I see I see
<alesage> hard for me to get a fix anyway so this is better verification thx
<rsalveti> yeah, from the logs you should easily see when it's active or not
<alesage> supah thank you

<rsalveti> you should see something similar like this when it stops
<alesage> k
<rsalveti> and when active:
<rsalveti> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10753080/
<alesage> fun
<alesage> ok will check
<rsalveti> cool, let me know if you need any more info
<alesage> k willdo
