Geolocation plugin heats my iPhone 5S

cordova
1

Hello,

I use this plugin http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/geolocation/ to geolocalize the user in my app.

Just before, i used the watchPosition(options) method but this way make my device (iphone 5S) very hot.

So i’ve decided to use the method getCurrentPosition(options) in a $interval every 30 seconds…

But the heat is always here…

I’m pretty sure this is caused by the geolocation plugin because CPU usage is never over 10%, sometime 50% when i scroll a collection-repeat, but the heat still here when i do nothing.

So my question is, is there a better way to geolocalize my users without melt their phones ?

Here is my geolocation service, maybe it could help:

angular.module('starter').factory('GeolocationService', function(
 $rootScope,
 $cordovaGeolocation,
 $interval

) {

var geolocInterval = undefined;

var methods =   {
  stopGeolocation: function(){
    console.log("Geolocation stopped");
    if (angular.isDefined(geolocInterval)) {
        $interval.cancel(geolocInterval);
        geolocInterval = undefined;
    }
  },
  startGeolocation: function(){

    console.log("Geolocation started");

    geolocInterval = $interval(function () {

      $cordovaGeolocation.getCurrentPosition({
        timeout : 10000,
        enableHighAccuracy: false,
        maximumAge: 5 * 60 * 1000
      }).then(function (position) {
        console.error("Position retreived: lat:" + position.coords.latitude +", lng:" + position.coords.longitude);
        $rootScope.lat  = position.coords.latitude
        $rootScope.lng = position.coords.longitude
      }, function(err) {
        console.error(err);
      });

    }, 20000);

  }

}

return methods;

})
`

Thank you very much for your help

Any idea of what usually can cause this overheating?

Thanks
