i see most sanyo mobiles have this option called location does this mean if you turn the option off will it make you un trace able because thats the idear im geting. if this is not what it does could some one please explan what it does do?
It may be referring to the option which some other phones call "Cell Site Info" i.e. it displays the location of the cellular base station which you are currently connected to.
Nah... sorry, there is no way you can make your phone untraceable
no it's on cdma if u own a sanyo 5600 7400 there are lots that have this option called location it's under Settings i no what u r talking about your talking about cell info display or cell broadcast i no what that is. it says if u turn the option off your location will be hidden from the network expet 111
This is an aGPS system that reports your location back to the network. This information is not currently used by the operator for anything, but in the future they could provide APIs for services to be created using this, such as "Where is my friend".
Of course everything is only reported if you allow.
And please don't use SMS abbreviation in the forums.
Location on the phone is not valid. It gives you an idea where you are, not the other way round. CDMA network can only show where the person is:e.g. say you are in Avondale (Auckland), on the network side it will show (Telecom) that you are in City. On you phone it will give you the location where you are. On GSM it can track down as close as 8-10m of your actual location...hope this helps in explaining the question....
