Bug Description
for battery efficiency the GPS is in a power saving mode when the phone is off, if the user unlocks the phone and turns the screen on there are various activities they might want to do that require a location fix, for example taking a photograph or visting a web page that requests the location.
Apps may be able to look at the timestamp of the location provided and request an update if it is too old, but this will result in the user waiting for the phone.
At the point of unlocking the screen the phone should start getting a fix, anticipating any location aware activity happening.
