Fixed *that*.
I've had my location off (as much as is possible) since I had my first phone that had the option, a Samsung A500. Unfortunately, that phone had a firmware bug (never fixed while I had it) such that, when it was in non-location mode, upon losing contact with the network, it would be unable to reconnect (thus, unable to place or receive calls) until powered off and then on again. The moral of the story: very few people turn the location stuff off. Otherwise, they'd have fixed this bug much sooner, as it made the phone more or less unusable for those who cared to do so. -- Riad S. Wahby rsw@jfet.org
