AGPS & your location

Your phone uses the Automatic Location Information (ALI) feature, along with AGPS satellite signals, to tell the network where you are physically located.

When ALI is set to Location > On (Do Not Ask) or On (Always Ask) your phone shows the O (ALI on) indicator. Services may use your known location to provide useful information (for example, driving directions, or the location of the nearest bank). Your phone prompts you when the network or a service asks for your location. You can refuse at this point.

When ALI is set to Location > Off (E911 Only), your phone displays the P (ALI off) indicator, and the phone does not send location information unless you call the emergency phone number (such as 911).

AGPS limitations & tips

Your phone uses Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) satellite signals to estimate your location. If your phone cannot find strong satellite signals, your AGPS might be slower, less accurate, or it might not work at all. AGPS provides only an approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much farther from your actual location.

To improve AGPS accuracy:

•Go outside and away from underground locations, covered vehicles, structures with metal or concrete roofs, tall buildings, and foliage. Indoor performance might improve if you move closer to windows, but some window sun shielding films can block satellite signals.
