Had a weird experience recently w/GPS Status.
My battery was running down fast yesterday, even though I wasn't using my Droid very much.
I checked in battery usage and found that the largest usage was not from my screen, but from GPS Status.
This was particularly odd, as I hadn't actually run the app for days, maybe a couple weeks even. I opened GPS Status and it was behaving normally. Since I always turn off GPS when I'm not using it, it asked me to turn on GPS and it found my location, etc. I then exited GPS status and turned off GPS again. Figured something odd had happened that had hung something up, and now I'd be OK.
This morning the same thing was happening...down to 80% by around 10 AM with almost no use of the phone. GPS status still listed as the top battery usage app. So I uninstalled GPS Status and am monitoring how the battery usage goes now.
I think this was an isolated case, and I'm going to reinstall GPS Status tomorrow if everything is back to normal today, and I assume things will be OK with it again. Maybe it was related to the 2.01 update?
Just wanted to note this in case anyone else bumped into anything like it.
