Log.i("ConnTest",locationManager.toString());
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
// Initialize the location fields

You should be disabling the updates when onPause() is called. When you press back your gps isn’t disabled? is there maybe another app or service running that is using GPS?
