   You have to be careful with the word "precise" because at least on Android   
   it means different things to different applications.   
      
   For some it means what you seemed to have meant which is satellite location   
   but for other apps (often google's apps) it means a lot more radios go on.   
      
   Still, all of them should have manual switches to turn them off.   
      
   If there is a manual switch in the operating system settings, why can't an   
   app press that slider based on automatic conditions (like disconnection of   
   a wifi access point connection)?   
      
   Some of these intelligent disconnections based on current conditions are   
   probably already coded into the operating system setup, aren't they?
