GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the video below :)
KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):
- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.
- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.
- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.
- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.
- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).
- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.

Average. Great app, except I cannot turn the thing off at will. Sometimes the app will stay open for days and drain my battery.

Meh Displays compass direction exactly 90 degrees off (i.e. says I'm facing east when I am facing north). Good thing it is free.

Possibly Spyware warning No way to disable once it's installed... runs in background and takes CPU overnight for no reason.... overnight took 39% of battery usage over 9 hours even with GPS off and flight mode....

Needs logging Love the features of this app, just what I need to get useful data from the GPS and phone sensors, going to buy pro here in a bit. Only request that logging be enabled or toggled somehow. It would be helpful to have logging during a drive. I could see some courts accepting GPS data as evidence, though the acceptance would be up to the judge. I'm sure it would be helpful in other ways, logging for work etc.
