I turn it on instead of GPS. I don't know why. Maybe a false sense of security. Like the little green men in black suv's won't be able to pinpoint my exact location lol. Oh well..its my bubble. Don't pop it.:D:p and I was hoping that it would save battery.

I know it`s an old topic but i have a problem related.
After a while after rebooting my phone (i9505) e.g. after 30 minutes when my wifi is on and connected to any wifi and i run some app that uses localization service (gps/wifi localization) wifi disconnects. Using apps that don`t try to locate my phone (Opera, Google play etc.) no probs, but using Google Maps, Sygic or any other app that tries to locate my phone keep disconecting wifi.
I determined that it happens only when i have "use wireless networks" under location settings set to ON. When i shut it down there`s no problem with wifi.
I`d like to use that feature but i makes me going crazy everytime disconnecting wifi.

You dug up a year old thread to complain about the wrong device?

Wow.

Did you read my post? Does it make any difference what device i`m using? It`s android both phones got Jelly bean. I haven`t found a topic related to this on i9505 so i thought here i would have better support.

If you can`t help then don`t take a word.
