My app is permanently polling for coreLocation – even when not running.

1) I set my UIBackgroundModes to location to get location updates in the background (no problem, I believe).

2) I messed with [locationManager startUpdatingLocation] and stopUpdatingLocation

3) The app started forcing the gps location arrow icon to be on all the time – even when I stop the app (by pressing home twice). The only way to shut off the arrow is to remove the app.

4) I’ve tried reverting my code back a few days, but nothing helps.

What can cause this?

    I had a similar issue once upon a time. Take a look and see if that answer helps you out.

    EDIT: If if turns out that you can remove the location services icon from the status bar by killing the app the correct way, then you problem is likely not the same one I had and you can safely ignore this =)
