Re: Gps turns on during phone calls Look at idlewires posting it will tell you how to kill the GPS. And I highly doubt ATT will let you trade your LG for a Samsung Note 3 but good luck. Posted via Android Central App

I agree with u 100%. To be honest I think some of them do know and like u said are purposely not saying anything to us the consumers probably because they were told not to disclose any information due to it being some kind of liability. Some cell phone providers such as ATT and Verizon have...

Believe it or not most of the people from ATT or LG aren't even aware of this solution. Posted via Android Central App

No this totally disables is permanently. Unless you factory reset your phone, and then it will come back on, and you will have to do it all over again. Posted via Android Central App

It's called IQ carrier. That's the culprit to the GPS turning on at will. All u have to do is go to settings>apps>running>android system and stop the app I think LG calls it IQ detection or something like that. But once u do that no more pesky GPS taking control over your phone. Posted via...

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls No it sure doesn't act up one bit. It performs the same way it does with it turned on except without the annoying GPS turning on whenever it feels like it. Posted via Android Central App

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls My new replacement phone just this morning started acting up again with the GPS after 2 weeks and 2 days. I knew it was to good to be true. But thanks to idlewire's post I was able to banish the GPS forever! I was about to give up on this awesome phone but...

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls Yes there is a way, but your phone has to be rooted. Look up "logging test app pro key" in the Google play store. The app cost $0.99. Posted via Android Central App

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls I don't follow what you mean by getting a store model phone to do it??? Posted via Android Central App

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls So far so good with my replacement device but it's only been a week and a couple days. So we shall see. I got my fingers crossed but if the GPS issue comes back I'm going to take your advice and tell att the same thing. If it worked for you I'm sure it will...

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls I'm sure you will be able to get the note 2 because it's pretty much the equivalent to the LG OGP but the note 3 you can keep dreaming about because that ain't gonna happen lol Posted via Android Central App

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls That's great! Well I hope your new phone works flawlessly for you. What kind did you end up getting? Posted via Android Central App

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls Your welcome. No unfortunately I never had a chance to try that, because by the time browntiger posted it I already had sent my phone back to get my replacement. But if the GPS does happen to occur again I will most definitely use the steps browntiger...

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls Well I've never got a different device only the same one. But I'm pretty sure they will let me exchange it for a different device if the replacement phone starts experiencing the same issue with the GPS. And yes it will be for free that's the whole point of...

Re: Gps turns on during phone calls I think I will go with the 3rd choice. If the GPS issue re appears. I will take advantage of my warranty and get a entirely different device. Although I will miss my LG Optimus G Pro. Posted via Android Central App
