Location Access
If you enable Location services, your location is displayed
in all your accounts.
1. From the Home or All Applications screen, tap on
Settings (
).
2. Set the location mode from Settings > Location >
Mode. Enable and modify required security settings.
3. Enable Location.
4. Set the Location mode using Assisted GPS.
The Assisted GPS can be added from Settings
> Location > Mode. Select one of the following
options:
• High accuracy: High accuracy mode uses
GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and other
sensors to get the highest-accuracy location
for your device. It uses Google’s location
service to help estimate your location faster
and more accurately.
• Battery saving: Battery saving mode allows
your device to estimate your location using
low battery-intensive location sources, such as
Wi-Fi and mobile networks. It uses Google’s
location service to help estimate your location
faster and more accurately.
• Device only: Device only mode allows your
device to estimate your location using GPS
only. It doesn’t use Google’s location service to
provide location information. This mode may
use more battery power and take longer to
determine your location.
When the location switch at the top of the screen is OFF,
your device location is not shared with any apps.
Apps Accessing Your Location
You can view and force stop the apps that are accessing
or have recently accessed your location.
1. In the Location screen, view the list of applications
that are accessing or recently accessed the Location
data of your phon, under Recent location request.
2. Tap an application to view the application page. You
can stop the application or uninstall it. The following
applications are system applications that access the
location services by default.
• High battery use: This app receives location
information from sources that may use more battery
power.
• Low battery use: This app receives location
information from only low battery-intensive sources.
Selecting an app brings you to its App info page, where
you can view app permissions and uninstall an app.
