Re:Mobile carriers can get your GPS location by bmacho on Saturday January 31, 2026 @01:35PM (#46839294)
It .. probably does turn the GPS on?

While this is an important question, I don't see the sources mentioning it, what the standards mandate, and how the phones behave.

For example the wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_resource_location_servic... describes the protocol as using the GPS and not as getting the location info from Android.
