This seemed to get lost in the mass of messages on XDA, so thought I'd add here directly!

Basically:

Feature suggestion for future version if its doable in a battery friendly way: would it be possible to show what apps are using location services ? It would be great to have it listed like e.g. the new Network stats, which then shows what apps have used the location services, and by how much.

Its one thing to know what's using GPS, but that's only half the story with regards to battery consumption and location - if its possible to monitor the use of the location service, it would give a nice insight into what's going on in the background, and by whom.

Very intersting and challenging. I saw your post and read your mail. I need to focus on another project now and adding it here saves me a lot of work; thanks for that!

Secind this too. Network location does drain battery juice like a lot. I wish there are better ways to use network location wirh battery friendly in mind. :D
