geolocation - iOS/Android GPS battery draw? -
I am investigating the possibility of writing an app for Android / iOS 4 / which is the use of GPS in the background I will find the section of the iPhone Developer Document, which recommends that I only register for "Important Location Changes" incidents. I am not aware of any such capability in the Android SDK, but it is still a good idea to do as I can (like not removing the battery).
My question is: Has this worked on any type of benchmarking on the iPhone / Android phone? So far, I have seen so many posts / documents that it is very bad to hear GPS incidents in the background and I should avoid it at all prices, but I have not got any number for this. Listening to GPS changes a background app drains power (i.e.% battery drain per time app is running in the background).
This information can be useful to me (and possibly even others) because I may be able to sign up for my GPS listener or register / unregistered based on the power drain basically, I can try to roam about how much battery life can take out of my app.
Thank you!
