Hello, i just bought VivoTab RT and i cant get working GPS. At setttings under privacy-->location there is everything gray at off switch and i cant switch it on. I have tablet from guy who bought him few days ago and did update to 8.1RT so i know about not working flash for camera, but found nothing about not working GPS. Please help me.
You do have "Let apps use my location" turned on first right?

I had the same problem. There is another setting to globally disable the location services. You need to re-enable that.
Go to Search and type "Location Settings" then click on it, it will open a desktop dialog, check "Turn on the windows Location platform". Now you should be able to enable location service permissions in the other dialog.
hope this helps

is anyone using CM7 having a problem with "news & weather"? my phone doesn't seem able to acquire my location to update the weather. whenever i refresh the weather, it'll say "acquiring location"...then "loading..." and then it says "no weather location available". i am also using an app called "minimalistic text" to display the weather on a widget and it can't seem to acquire a location to display either...anyone know what's going on here? if i specify a city (i.e., a "custom location"), then it will display the weather...otherwise it doesn't. my gps is working fine as well so i'm not sure why it can't seem to detect my location for the weather
any help would be appreciated! thanks!
I'm not having any issues with it. You have you location set?
Its working for me on nightly 40, just switched to 51 and still working.
Also using the minimalistic text widget, and it has my location and weather as well. Do you have it set in settings to acquire location by mobile
data, otherwise you'll have to have gps on.
no i don't have the location set. if i have it set to a specific location, then it works. if i want it to update depending on which city i'm in, then it doesn't work and says "no weather location available..."
back when i had the sense stock, i didn't have to have gps on..and every few hours, the weather would update on its own depending on which city i was in...
News and weather settings: [only what I have checked]
weather: use my location
No special settings under minimalist. Hit globals settings, and try checking define location. Mine isn't checked, but it still picks up my location.
yea currently i have "define location" checked...but then it makes me specify a location...so i did...and it works. but if i leave it unchecked, it doesn't pick up my location...and this is precisely the problem...cuz i want it to update depending on where i am...vs. specifying only one location...
weird that i seem to be the only one with this problem..cuz i didn't find anyone else with posts regarding this matter

Awkward. In location and security under settings, do you have use wirelessn networks checked?
I wonder if "The GPS Fix" would be relevant here?

Yes, because that allows the data to pull your location based off your 3G, and that should allow it to update automatically based on your location.

My pleasure.
I have an application that is looking for a GPS (location services) to be enabled in order to watch/stream from that site. Is there a way a rooted FTV can be fooled into thinking it has a GPS since it clearly doesn't?
I'm not sure a location spoofer would work since the app (NHL GameCenter) is looking for the "location services" first, and probably the location 2nd.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

That will turn the stuff on, as for spoofing it I have no idea, sure there is ways. I'd google it since that wouldn't necessary be AFTV specific.
I put ATT sim card in Verizon note 4, everything seems to be good (I got 3G, no LTE, but that's okay), except the annoying message "the sim card is not from verizon". I checked it, and it was from "activation agent". Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks.

give this a try - go into settings -> applications ->swipe to all tab, this will list all the apps and services, scroll down to 'setup wizard', tab on it and turn it off.(disable).
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the "turn off" (of setup wizard) is grey. Same thing happened to "activation agent". Does this mean I need to root (which is not available right now) first?

Just Force Stop the application. It'll stop showing the annoying message.
Update: just notice that there are two "setup wizard". One can be turned off, one can't. I turned the first one off, but it didn't help, i.e. message still pops up when the phone restarts.

That works, but I hate to do that every time the phone is turned on. Want to find a more permanent solution.

This should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/disable-knox-ota-root-t2972263
I was able to disable activation agent through this, and havn't noticed any adverse effects.
in adb shell use the following command:
adb shell
pm block NAME_OFTHE_SETUP_WIZARD_APP
then it should be blocked and you won't see it.
I can't find the exact name of setup wizard so you have to find how the app is called in android. something like com_XX_XX
VzwActivationAgent.apk = com.samsung.vzw.activationagent
The defroster works for it as well. I deactivate the little notification and it's app after I switched my phone to cricket wireless
Install Debloater by Gates Jr. and the Samsung USB drivers. Enable USB debugging on your phone. Launch Debloater and it will read all .apk packages. For the S4 you will need to check off the Samsung (and not the Google) setup wizard. Once complete, you will no longer see the Verizon icon in your system tray, as well as the annoying message.

The package and command that worked for me on s8 plus:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.setupwizard
Old thread, sorry, but my old Galaxy S8+ is actually still usable as a WiFi based browser and it has some games and Titanium Backup (phone was rooted). I'd like to use it to play some of those games and browse via WiFi at home with it to save wear & tear on the S20 Ultra. I would really like to know what I can use Titanium Backup to turn off so I don't see the "Activation Incomplete" message.
Whenever I try to install an APK I downloaded, I am not able to tap on the Install button of the prompt with the app permissions. I can tap on Cancel, but nowhere on the Install part. (phone is configured to allow untrusted sources, otherwise it wouldn't even launch the package manager).
I also am unable to hit OK when trying to connect to a VPN, but I can tap Cancel.
Is this some silly LG "safety feature". I posted on the Tmo forum but someone mentioned they have the similar APK issue on a Verizon model, so I pose the question to every one else here.
I am unrooted, and running the stock T-Mobile version. I have debloated my phone with the Debloat tool, but I can't think of what I could have disabled that would create this odd behavior.
Edit: I had MDM installed on my phone that had some administrator profiles enforced, but I have removed them and I am still unable to tap on Ok for VPN or Install for APKs.

What other Apps are have you installed? I read somewhere that certain Screen Filter Apps reproduce this issue just in case yo have one installed.

I heard about that too. No screen filter apps.
It's strange that it is only that part of the screen that is not tappable, or rather, it does not create an action on the button. If I enable screen taps in the developer menu, I can see the taps, they are just not registering.
If you have something like Lux installed, disable it, continue w/ your install, then re-activate the culprit app(s). I had the same problem installing APKs where pressing INSTALL did nothing, but CANCEL was ok.

Would you post a list of apps you debloated? You may exclude all T-mobile ones as they are not the problem.

Well, well, well, that did it. The Lux service breaks this, even though I never see it on top of anything because it just runs in the background. Hopefully this will show up when people search for the issue and they can easily fix it.
Thank you!
No problem-o. I was stumped initially and also can't exactly wrap my head around why some buttons work and some don't. I read somewhere that in the context of INSTALL it was to prevent malicious software from being installed. Or something.
For those who may be having a similar problem, you can go to Setup->Advanced in Lux. Enable the "Use Alternative Overlay" option and it should allow you to get the tap to work and still have Lux enabled.
Fyi the OK/Install eventually works, just give it about 10 seconds
Hi all,
The "Link Turbo" functionality has been announced before the device came out, but since then I can't find nothing about it, and I can't find any option in the phone's settings talking about it or allowing me to enable it or whatever...
Is the function gonna come in an update or did I miss something ?

From what I have heard and from my own experience, it seems to be automatic if you have both mobile data and WiFi switched on.

AFAIK it's enabled by default.
Link turbo is a passive feature which means it does not get activated or deactivated. It is a software enabled feature that will most likely show up on other Honor phone via an update.
