Side question, or semi-bug. It seems (and possibly necessarily so) that any time the app is launched (Android version), Location Service gets activated. This means even launching the app just to check the message board is going to fire up location, which then stays active even after you exit the app (since Android keeps the app alive unless you force close). I get the location service has to be allowed to run in background to record tracks and the like, but maybe don't activate it unless mapping features are accessed, or something along that line? This would prevent potential battery impact from location running when not needed.
