Location settings

Turning location services on or off

In order to find your location on HTC Desire 612, you need to enable

location sources.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Location.

2. Tap the On/Off switch to turn location services on and off.

3. Under Location sources, select the location mode you want. For

example, for a better estimate of your location, choose High

accuracy. To save battery power, choose Battery saving.

Turning off a location source (for example GPS) means no applications on

HTC Desire 612 will collect your location data through that location source.

However, third party applications may collect — and HTC Desire 612 may

continue to provide — location data through other sources, including

through Wi-Fi and signal triangulation.
