Location On/Off descision

[Marko Marjanovic]

,,Find my phone" is great option if you have pricey phone with personal and work fikes on it, pin lock too even pin to onedrive application. In thay way, logicaly, even if you lost or someone steal your device all your files are safe. That's grat! But knowing microsoflt and it's applications most of them are loction hungry-battery drainers expecialy if you pack 930 or 1520 (like i do) who heat and in same time drain ALOT juce. I tweek around settings and find out that when my location is off my phone is coler then usual( great news) but not so much if i lost it. Logicaly when you have location on you can track it via pc but even off i still found out that some application (occasionaly) use location..so even if i set it off it still on? Then why would i use it then?
Should i put it on off and relax or what?
This is not my first windows phone, but first one i really care and use not oly for personal and ,,ammateur" thing, there is busines involved.

I've had a 1520 since launch and I don't think I've ever turned off my location services (along with NFC and Bluetooth). Battery life has always been phenomenal on it as well.

Maybe something else is draining your battery? Try opening up Battery Saver and seeing what is using the most resources in the background.

I allways had smll heating problems, but concider q2.2ghz i'm kinda okay with it.
Nothing is draining my battery, i reguraly check that..i even hard reset and fresh started couple of days ago, but it's still same. That and battery is not my problem, location and ,,find my phone" is. Would it work if i set it off?

Unfortunately I don't think it will work if you disable Location services and Find My Phone on the device.
