Hello. I have a Samsung S7 SM-G930F running Android 8.0.0, Kernel 3.18.91-19497840-QB34227861.
I often disable then enable GPS before using Maps so I can save battery so GPS doesn't constantly update location when I'm driving but have no need to use GPS.
I'm wondering on my version of Android, does the GPS goto sleep or a mode that has negligible battery use when you exit the Google Maps app or aren't navigating anywhere ?
Currently I use "Battery Saving" mode.
Is it worth to make some sort of script or custom firmware that can turn location off when Maps is not in use or exited back to the home screen ?
Thanks
