Martin Ambrus commented on CB-1603:
-----------------------------------

Interesting news... I've just discovered that the compass icon is only shown when I include jQuery Mobile 1.1.0 source code on the page! I can't see how, but it's true. Trying with newer jQuery Mobile version, stay tuned...

> Applications targeted for iPhone (iOS 4.3+) using Cordova 2.1 and developed in XCode 4.5 automatically turn on Compass / Geolocation. This is true only for devices that have iOS 6 installed. User is never asked if they want to reveal their location to the app, so it's probably the Compass plugin kicking in.
> What we see is the compass arrow on the right-hand top side of iPhone screen (status bar). When the application closes, arrow disappears.
> This is an issue for us, as it drains considerably more battery than version running on iOS 5.1, where this problem does not exist.
> We have tried to remove all - Location, Compass and GeoLocation plugins from the Cordova.plist to no avail.
