Yes.

But if you turn on WiFi and Location at the same time (which is not uncommon), then it will suck your battery dry in seconds. Turn any of those two off, and it works.



Oh. My phone has three options for 'Location mode':

- High accuracy (GPS, wi-fi, mobile)

- Battery saving (Wi-fi, mobile)

- Device only (GPS)

From what you say, it sounds like 'Device only' would save more battery than 'Battery saving'?
