Question

Joe, a user, returned yesterday from a trip where he utilized the GPS function of his mobile device. He now notices the battery is rapidly draining. Which of the following can Joe MOST likely do to resolve the issue without a loss of data?

A. Restart the mobile device
B. Update the device's firmware
C. Uninstall the GPS-enabled app
D. Readjust the location settings

Answer 1

Answer: C. Uninstall the GPS-enabled app

Explanation: Your phone can’t enter sleep mode if GPS is turned on. The GPS chip is constantly listening for satellites, and if you head underground or are in a place that blocks the signal, like under a metal roof or a Costco, the phone will go into random search mode.
