The Facebook app for android shows my location when I post from it. This doesn't happen when I post on the web. Anyone know exactly how I can turn that off? It's either the app or a phone setting.

The only thing I've found it to disable GPS manually.

The making sure you sign into the account in the beginning and don't skip didn't work to well for me. I haven't removed myaccount yet.

Try to update my account app first. Worked for me.

hi, a friend of mine had a request to prevent the demo android phones placed at his shop from being locked by customers. how can i prevent the pattern/pin/password security locks from being activated, or how do i remove this feature from the demo phones?
thanks
Turn it off in settings???¿¿¿???
If you're talking about after it has been locked, reflash the software if it doesn't have a fastboot/bootloader/recovery reset.

If they're connected to wifi then install "unlock with wifi " on them and hide the app?

he's been doing reflash every time a phone has been locked, and its getting on his nerves as this happens almost on a daily basis. is there a way to rip the security pattern/pin/password functionality from the android framework? or is there any apk that we can remove from /system/app that will disable this functionality?

i think wifi is out of the question as he doesn't want passerbys to use his wifi connection for hacking/illegal purposes.
You can just lock down the WiFi with WPA2 and it will most likely not get broken into.

Download one of the many app locks and just password protect settings and then turn the pattern lock off..
//edit- Inside of the app lock see if you can only password protect display settings.. so customers can at least play with the other settings

Unlock with wifi is an app that uses trigger(a known wifi location) to unlock the screen...
It's not a tethering app.
So, what is this in reference to?
I'd expect that he might have a wireless router in a cell phone store already. And would know to encrypt it.

Like title says. Today my GPS began randomly starting every few minutes. I have not installed any new apps or made any other changes, so I can't figure out what is causing this.
Any suggestions?

What rom, any kernel changed, dropped the phone?
Sorry, its totally stock other than a handle full of apps. No drops, and has been in an Otterbox Defender from day 1.

Depending on what you are doing on the phone, and your location settings, it is normal for gps to start automatically. Ie doing a Google search when you have GPS enabled and have allowed Google to access your location as they say "to provide better search results"
Or it could be your wife logging into your htcsense account and using the locate phone feature to find you
LOL. Sitting here with the wife and watching GPS activating. Also, have location access disabled on Google.
This is really strange. I've had the phone a while now, and this is new behavior. It happens even after I have force closed all the apps that might happen to use GPS.

For anyone interested by monitoring the GPS events while watching running apps, I was able to find the culprit. It was the AT&T Mark The Spot App causing GPS to keep activating. Even after doing an FC of the app, within minutes it would start itself again and then GPS would start firing up again. Uninstalled the AT&T app: problem solved. I had the app for a good while, and this was a fairly recent bug.

Hello XDA community,
I don't know why my Tasker profile won't run. I am using the when wifi connected turn off keyguard profile. I am also using secure settings to turn off pattern lock. I am rooted. I have been meticulously *following several videos on youtube. The same instruction works on my brother's phone. *
As well as this profile. when near scanned cell towers turn on wifi. Exit task, turn off wifi when not near. It doesn't work.
Also, the profiles don't light up green. In the notifications, it says no profiles active.* Any guidance on this matter will be great.

Try enabling the new cell api within tasker
Hello i have enabled the new cell api but it still requires the password. It still requires me to enter my pattern lock password.
