  current build number: 256
  device name: krillin
  channel: ubuntu-touch/ubuntu-rtm/14.09-proposed
  last update: 2015-03-13 11:19:04

  (same for arale/vivid as well)

  If you happen to have a scope that uses location data in background,
  your GPS will always be active, doesn't matter what is in the
  foreground.

  This is a an issue with krillin (standard channel) as the main scope
  (Today's) can easily on background when you're using other apps.

  If you move to the apps scopes, then GPS will automatically be
  disabled, and this won't happen (same for any other scope that doesn't
  use location data).

  This is only when the user is actively using the phone, as the GPS
  gets automatically disabled once the screen turns off. And there is no
  timeout at all, it stays there until you move to another scope or turn
  off the screen.
