[Bug 1422889] [NEW] GPS stays active when browser related apps (e.g. HERE) are sigstopped

 

Public bug reported:

current build number: 237
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
last update: 2015-02-17 17:04:34
version version: 237
version ubuntu: 20150217
version device: 20150216-fe747ac
version custom: 20150207-538-29-183

Using location-service and qtubuntu-sensors from https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu-rtm/landing-009
location-service 	2.1+15.04.20150213~rtm-0ubuntu1
qtubuntu-sensors 	0.6+15.04.20150216~rtm-0ubuntu1

To reproduce:
1 - Reboot the phone;
2 - Run logcat as root: sudo /system/bin/logcat
3 - Open the HERE app (or any other website that uses location, such as google maps) and wait for it to get the location data
4 - Move the app to the background;
5 - Check logcat and see that GPS is still active;

After closing the app the GPS hardware is disabled though.
