    Leaving GPS On?

    Does this drain the battery if you leave it on at all times? Or is the Android system smart enough to only have it in use when it knows you are actually using it like Navigation and other things?

    I think my time with the original Evo is almost done. Not because the phone sucks or anything but it's just that time to get a new one.
