Hallo!
How is it possible to switch GPS manually ON/OFF?
As far as I know, you can't. You need a GPS application to access the Comm port of the GPS. Once this happens it automatically turns on. Closing the app turns off the GPS.

Before I start I want to make this clear
Yes, my wifi policy is on "never" and I have pressed menu>save rather than just exiting out.
[Q] When my screen shuts off, after around 10-20 minutes my wifi disconnects (i can tell by checking router status on my comptuer to see attached devices) and when I turn on my phone and unlock it will go from 3g > wifi right away. The reason I want wifi on constantly is because the wifi radio uses less power than the 3g radio.
Now I'm aware that some roms have an option to turn off radio for 3g/wifi when not in use and will turn them on when the system needs to update/sync. However, my wifi is set to "never" sleep and there is no "always enable mobile data" option on my rom. I'm wondering why it will disconnect my wifi when my policy is set to never.
ROM:
MIUI 0.12.11 (0.12.3 fixed the wifi disconnect problem, but 0.12.11 is a newer rom)
bcblend 2.6.32.25 cfs stable (SBC custom)
So noticed something odd.
turning airplane mode on and off doesn't change the gps mode switch (which is fine imho, gps is a sensor like the inclinometer or magnetic compass)
BUT, it interferes with apps ability to access the gps data
ie. airplane mode is on, gps switch is on, run an app that uses gps data and it never sees it even though the status bar will say 'searching for gps' but never sees or locks any satellites.
if you turn off airplane mode it works just fine, if you reenable airplane mode it will continue to work.
tried using lgs online chat and got nothing but idiots, first one insisted the gpad didn't have gps that it used wifi and cellular signals to simulate location finally got him to send me to someone else and this guy insisted that airplane mode should disable all communication and that gps was communication then after trying to explain the difference between active transceiver systems and passive sensor systems he abruptly disconnected the chat without saying anything...
suffice to say not too pleased with lg support right now
anyhoo, anyone elses pad doing this?
When I turn my Verizon G4 on the Wifi initially connects, then it shuts off. I have to go into the quick settings every time and turn on Wifi. Is this a common problem? Am I missing something?
Hi. Today I have discovered what was causing my battery life bad. So, if I turn off WiFi when I'm connected to router - it will turn off properly. When I turn on wifi and turn off (without connecting) it will stay in 'scanning mode' even if the icon says it is turned off. Is there any possible fix for that?
My Bluetooth randomly will shut off. I notice that it isn't connecting to my Fitbit and my car and when I check it is off and I have to manually turn it back on. Is there a setting somewhere that is doing this? I don't have any battery saver apps or services running.

Setup android auto, theres a setting in there to enable bluetooth auto, if you dont set it, sometimes bluetooth turns off
