How does Google location services effect battery life? Is it always running in the background or only when GPS is enabled? Actually keeping GPS enabled drains up the battery but Google location services helps in accrately determining location of places, so I would like to know how they are co-related. Thanks
Google location services and GPS
Hi Alex,
The Google location services and GPS are related to each other.
The steps to enable the GPS service in the device are as follows:
1) On the mobile device, Click 'Settings' option
2) Select 'Location Services' from the list of data
3) Check the enable 'Google location service' checkbox
4) Check the 'GPS satellite' checkbox
5) When the GPS satellite is enabled, the icon is displayed on the screen of the mobile device
The GPS service runs only when the user activates it on the device. The service can be stopped by changing the settings of the
device.
