Exam 220-1002 topic 1 question 65 discussion

GPS is a prime suspect for battery consumption acknowledged by CompTIA. Not only does GPS have a high battery drain but it is constantly working if not disabled. They have other exam questions which directly state this too. Correct answer is GPS.

This has to be A. Privacy > Maps. B says Display > Brightness so we can disregard the Auto-Lock setting because we've gone a level past that in the menu. Also if you look in the usage, Maps has used 3.2GB of data. That is definitely excessive, especially compared to the other statistics.

this should be privacy setting and display setting it is both bad for battery, a phone that never locked that's is a no no, and a map that is always active even close no no.

B is the best answer

this person has 15gb of photos.. what in the world is he doing with so much pictures?

If there was an option for auto lock NEVER I'd pick that but since it's not an option, I'm gonna have to say A based on the information in the settings, but again brightness could be linked to auto lock never so.... there are 2 correct answers, this question sucks

The answer is A. It is all about 'reading comprehension' The giving answer for A is Privacy maps. Therefore you should ONLY look at 'Maps always'. Some of people are talking about 'Auto-lock Never and Night-mode' but answer B ONLY states about Display 'Brightness' and not about the other options like auto-lock and night-mode. So don't make it too complicated.

A is the correct answer, no doubt.

My iphone got hot with the screen unlocked though keeping Maps on did not. I will go for B.

Two key details: 1) Maps usage: 3.2 GB (super high) 2) Privacy settings: Maps - Always Correct option: A

How can it be brightness if the issue persists when the phone is put away?

Display is correct. Auto lock being set to never is the key here

Any person that has ever used a smart phone, ever, knows that Maps, even set as background app, or minimized, are huge power hogs and will make your phone hot, and drain your battery quick. The display brightness has nothing to do with it, Autolock could be an answer, but it was not an option. Answer is A.

Answer should be A. It mentions that the battery still drains "even after it is put away". Therefore brightness cannot be the correct answer.

A.Privacy – Maps

its privacy, maps. how many other wrong answers are on this site? lol i'm gonna fail the darn test

I don't agree with this answer, The brightness option is set to auto and we are talking about a new phone, no meaning to overheat or lose battery because of this. Even if the Auto-Lock option is set to -Never- it doesn't mean the display will not turn-off automatically because that is the "sleep" option. On the other hand the Maps App in the privacy setting is set to -Always- and the usage show 3.20GB of data consumption. Heavy usage of 4G + Location (GPS) is a big load even for modern mobile devices capable to heat the phone as described and drain a battery in less than one day.
