[android-developers] Re: ($25 reward) GPS not triggering onLocationChanged

Thanks a lot for your support everyone!

I winded up doing many things, most of which were required for this to
work.

1. Used the WakefulIntentService, and at the bottom of onHandleIntent,
manually called onStop
2. Right away I created a wakelock
3. BEFORE the first requestLocationUpdates(yadaa yadda yadda, this) I
called releaseUpdates(this).
4. Removed the accidental duplicate requestLocationUpdates
5. Added a sleep timer to onHandleIntent, and had it call onStop
afterwards (releases the wakelock and locationupdates)

The main issue was keeping the service awake, second issue was all the
stupid bugs in the 1.5 OS.
