Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

Re: From the OP

How do I have to set up my Android phone in order to get a reliable Bluetooth and GPS connection, even when the phone is in standby (display black after pressing the button on my phone)? I mean, I cannot put the phone in my pocket, if the display is "on".

I´m asking, because I have been walking around for some hours and the Bluetooth/GPS connection went off a couple of times. Sometimes it switched itself on by itself, sometimes not. I could not find out, wether the reason was the R5 getting into powersave (or whatever it´s called, when it´s switching itself off after a minute) or being switched off with the on/off switch. Or maybe it was the phone, which I have to switch off (not "totally off, of course) before putting it into my pocket.
