R r2d4 Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 12, 2012 #1 Hello, is there a way to activate GPS if it is turned off? Greetings r2d4
Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 13, 2012 #2 There is no official way to do it. There is a library that uses a hack to turn on the GPS. It doesn't work on all devices: TurnGPS Library - Page 4 Upvote 0

R r2d4 Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 13, 2012 #6 Indeed, I am searching a way to enable GPS without user interaction. I got a Samsung S2 Galaxy (Android 2.3) - may be someone knows a workaround? Upvote 0
