Location Services drains battery
Com.nokia.odnp.service related to Main \ Swipe down \ More \ Location-Based Services drained battery again. I turned it off.

This happened after a prior firmware upgrade and my battery died with it. I then had turned it off and the battery returned to normal. Then I turned on location based services and it used no current.

Now it happened again. Does anyone know what "location based services does?"

Last time the firmware was upgraded to 7.3.0. This time it was upgraded again to 7.3.1. I'll turn location based services back on in a day or so. Evidently, that module is used to validate country of ownership when Amazon upgrades the firmware.

It appears that it must be on to get the firmware upgrade but drains the battery indefinitely after the upgrade. Turning it off and then on again a day or two seems to correct the problem.

What did the upgrade in the firmware to 7.3.1 do?
