Whenever I go to google search, it tries to find my location and I see the GPS icon flashing.
I made sure to turn off Location settings in the browser (even toggled it).
...what gives?
if you go into settings, you can disable it
i recall i selected the option to NOT use GPS to get mylocation
and selected instead use phone network to determine my location

Hi everyone.
Just a simple question:
Is there a way to make a shortcut to start menu to activate a data connection?
I installed the new comm manager found here, but the data connection option is greyed out. It only works when a connection is active.
Search the forum but couldn't find anything like what I want?
Any ideas?
A data connection is activated when an application requests data. As far as I know there's no way nor any need to start it manually.
I am using Phone Weaver to toggle Wifi, Bluetooth and Data Connection (GPRS).
Hi guys,
Got this problem: when I use wifi, the clock/weather widget can locate, and get the info about weather, but it can't display the city name. It just shows "Current location". This won't happen when I use the 3G connection.
When get into weather app on wifi, it will show a notification "unable to contact location service to update your current location". Also, this won't happen on 3G.
I cleared the data for the apps, like weather provider, etc, but it doesn't help.
I have the same issue & i'm still looking for a fix

I some how got it to work, go into Settings-Power-(uncheck) Fast Boot. Restart your device and on the top right you should get an icon. Click the icon and it will ask you to pick your time zone. Hope this works for you.
How or what is causing this popup. I want my gps off until I need it. Can anyone offer advice to avoid this popup.
I have the same issue, every time I open the phone app, an annoying "enable location services" pop up appears, I only enable location services when using maps
I've noticed that at least two apps will mysteriously stop working in the background, causing problems:
First, most important, I use my Google Voice number, not my SIM number, so I need Google Voice to be running so that it intercepts my calls and uses the right phone number to make calls. If I open Google Voice, it will work for a few hours, maybe a day, and then GV stops working and calls start going out through my SIM number.
The other app that exhibits this behavior is Garmin Connect -- my watch gives me notifications, but then, for no reason, it will stop working. Opening Garmin Connect solves the problem.
I have ensured all permissions are set as liberally as possible, even the "allow autostart" option. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas would be great. I did not have this problem with my Mi 8.
Thanks!
I think I had a similar problem with the Runtastic app that I use for running: After around one minute of screen off time it would stop getting GPS data.
I fixed it by adding it to the list of apps that is allowed to run in the background. You can find this setting in the power and battery settings ("Akku & Leistung" in German).
I think you are talking about the Battery Saver > Choose apps ("Saving power in the background") list. In that list, you can set background settings for each app. I had both of these apps already set to the most liberal setting, "No restrictions (Battery saver doesn't restrict app's activity)". I changed them both to the second setting, "Battery saver (recommended)", which seems to be an automated, smart method the phone uses.
I also decided to try turning off the Use Adaptive Battery setting ("Limit battery for apps that you don't use often"). Maybe this is the culprit.
Any luck there yet? My vivo active hr does not even show live notifications....
how to disable google play services location?
the default setting is "allow all the time" and does not have an option to change it. thanks
Install Fake GPS, set the selected location and in the developer options select the application to simulate the location.
However, it will not give you anything, because every call to the GSM mast is received in the phone and the approximate location is known.
