Java Applications and GPS Enabled

Some Java applications can make use of your phone’s GPS feature to determine the geographical location of your phone. (See “GPS Enabled” on page 115 for more information on the GPS feature.) However, for privacy reasons, you may not always want Java applications to access your phone’s geographical location. Your phone protects your privacy by giving you the option to block all or some Java applications from accessing your phone’s location.

About GPS Enabled Privacy Options

GPS enables you to choose one of three privacy options:

Restricted — No Java or similar software applications may view your phone’s location. However, a different privacy protection mechanism may apply to those customers who purchase a dispatch application.

Unrestricted — All Java applications may access your phone’s location, without notifying you.
