Motorola Droid X :: Moto Gps Widget Turns Off Wifi And Network Location / Need A Better To Use?
Oct 2, 2010I noticed today that when i use the default GPS widget, the gps will turn off and take network location and wifi location with it, however turning it on with the widget does not restore those options. Is there a better widget to use, if that's how it works? I didn't notice this in 2.1. Those seemed to be on all the time.

Nov 6, 2009If I do Location.getAccuracy() I get a number of meters. Is that number a radius or a diameter? I thought it would be a radius, but Google's MyLocationOverlay uses that value as a diameter.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Accuracy Of Location.getAccuracy() GSM And GPS - Exact Meaning?
Jun 16, 2010As said in the Android Reference, the method getAccuracy() of android.location: "Returns the accuracy of the fix in meters. If hasAccuracy() is false, 0.0 is returned." But what does that mean exactly? The diameter or the radius? The Circular Error Probable (CEP), the 95-percentile or something else? I hope they are of the same type in GPS and GSM positioning. Does somebody know where these information are given into the system? As far as i know, are the GSM coordinates returned by a hidden Google API over a Web Service. So no chance to see an exact calculation. But where is the Accuracy of GPS calculated. I thought the GPS receiver only returns a dimensionless DOP value. And with Android 1.5 its not posible to read the NMEA sentences directly.

Jan 12, 2010Super happy with the Nexus One just minor issue is that on occasion - and not sure what triggers it - but the touch location seems to end being below where i actually touch on the screen, which of course causes erratic typing and erroneous screen clicks. A quick cycle of the sleep/power button (not turning unit off, just sleep/blank and back on.) seems to solve the problem.Hopefully an update will resolve this issue, as it seems to be a software issue.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSamsung Captivate :: Differences Between Two Maps In Terms Of Location Accuracy? (GPS Off)
Aug 2, 2010Has anyone noticed the differences in using the two maps in terms of location accuracy? Specifically with GPS off. I don't expect either app to be extremely accurate in finding my location with GPS off, but what's odd is that Google Maps put's me about .25 miles WNW of my actual location while AT&T Maps put's my location .25 ENE of my actual location. You would think that the operating system determines the location and provides the app of that information, but that doesn't seem to be the case (since the two maps are showing different locations).

Apr 23, 2014Phone settings: Location : Battery Saving (GPS off, using Wifi/network location only)
On Google Play Services 4.0.x - I get very accurate location small circle around where my house is.
After updating to 4.2.25 - I get a large circle - maybe the radius of an entire block / surface area of a cell tower coverage roughly
Uninstall the update to play services (back to 4.0.x) - get very accurate location again.
I am using a RAZR HD with 4.4.2 kit kat / CM11.
Did play services update broke my specific phone?
I would stay on the older Play Services but Hangouts and Maps keep bitching about needing to update it.
Android :: Testing Location Using Network As Location Provider?
Jan 27, 2010I have an application which uses the network as the location provider (rather than GPS eg.), however I can't seem to figure out how to send the emulator test coordinates. In DDMS I would usually send coordinates in the Emulator Control tab.Is there a place to simulate coordinates derived from the cell phone network provider?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHTC Hero :: Google Maps Accuracy - Wireless Network And GPS Settings
May 4, 2010I've got a Hero recently unlocked from the 3 network and I'm using a O2 SIM card in it, I have put in all the right settings to get my MMS and Internet working and everything is cool, however I seem to get really vague accuracy when using Google Maps, sometimes "accurate" to within 2400 metres. I think if somebody asked me to guess where they were in the world I reckon I could get closer than that! Anyway from searching the forum I have read a few comments saying to turn off the Wireless network setting in the Location menu and just leave the GPS one selected, which I have done but then even after waiting a few minutes in an open area it fails to find my location.
I know a couple of times with both wireless network and GPS settings enabled it has been accurate enough to be able to pinpoint my location and display the arrow next to the blue dot to show which way I am facing, which is really helpful if you are in a unfamiliar area and trying to navigate to somewhere. Any ideas why it's so poor at picking up my location and are there any apps to help the GPS get a lock? Would this be something that is fixed in the 2.1 update? Which doesn't ever look likely to come out.
Android :: How Is Location Accuracy Measured In Android?
Jun 16, 2010Does anyone know the proper interpretation of the accuracy measurements returned by getAccuracy()? For instance, are they calculated as:Circular Error Probability (meaning, if i understand correctly, radius of a 50% confidence circle)? Radius of 95% confidence circle? something else? In addition, what are the actual calculations that are used and how much can we rely on them? Does it depend on the source of the location estimate (GPS vs. network)?

May 3, 2010I'd like to write a simple widget that toggles GPS and network location on and off. I've read that it's not possible to do that normally, but presumably on a rooted phone it must be doable. Does anyone know what the code would be? (I only need the code to toggle the location providers, I know how to make the widget.) It doesn't matter that this isn't a 'good' solution, I don't plan to distribute the widget. If it matters, this would be on an HTC Hero, still running v1.5.

Android :: Background Practices (Interact With Network And Check Location)
Aug 27, 2010My application needs to perform some activities in background (like interacting with the network and check the location and some other stuff), having or not the main activity visible. Which is the best way to achieve this? Should I write a service for each kind of job? Or just one service that performs everything? I am aware that I will need to launch threads / asynctasks in any case because the service runs on the same thread of the UI, but maybe having several services is a more clear and readable structure.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: Using Apps With Network Location / Not GPS
Oct 24, 2010Based on what I've been reading, leaving GPS on won't drain more battery. It's just merely allowing apps to use the GPS.That said, if you have GPS on and have apps that use GPS, you will drain more battery.I want to leave my GPS on for "Where's my Droid." My question is this: how do I make it so that apps (weather widget, etc.) only use network location and not GPS? Is there a way to block all apps except those I choose from using GPS ?

May 15, 2010It keeps telling me I'm in the town across the river. Maybe according to the network location I am in that town but when I go to maps and it uses GPS it realizes the proper city. The weather app often makes this mistake. I thought when I setup my device it may have asked if I want to use GPS or just network location for something but I can't find that setting anymore. Any ideas on how to get more accurate current location for the weather widget?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSamsung Behold 2 :: Network Location Error
Nov 27, 2009With the stock Touchwiz software you can not access the normal Android Settings menu for Location and by default the "Network Location" function is disabled.I installed Open Home (which is a must for this phone imho) and now I can access the classic settings menu.I enabled Network Location then launched Google Maps. After a second or two it centered on a road in Bellevue, WA that is not too far from T-Mo headquarters, problem is I am on the East Coast of the US. I pulled the battery and reboot the phone.Upon reboot I opened Google Maps again and it quickly found my approx location correctly but then within a second or two it switched back to this phantom location in Washington state.Has anyone else experiences this? If so is this a glitch with my phone or a known issue with the TouchWiz/Android OS? I really need this functionality in order for the phone to be useful for me. Anyone know of a fix for this?

Apr 8, 2010At least it looks like that to me. Many have reported it can be cured with disabling Network Location, then it was the basebands that could help, then it looked like the problem is in USB charging. Well my no sleep is a unique one and I dare to say it has nothing to do with anything and it's total luck. My Galaxy goes into no sleep as soon as I receive a call. JC6+galaxo. First it was with JC6 baseband as I said in the JC6 thread. Then I flashed II5 baseband and it worked great. It was fast, WPA Ent worked. But off course, I received a call and it went into no sleep again. No network location, no USB plugging in, looks like it is triggered by unique things. I'm officially tired of this piece of junk. I'm going back to my II5 nandroid backup. And I was so happy with JC6. Damn you Samsung. If this isn't resolved in one month I'm spending money and getting a Hero. (cheap enough, and at least it has tons of 2.1 firmwares).
