Java Applications and GPS Enabled

Some Java applications can make use of your phone’ s GPS f e atur e to d et e rmin e th e ap pro xim at e geographical location of your phone. (S ee “GPS Enabled” on page 87 for more information on the GPS feat ure.) However, for privacy reasons, you may not al ways want Java applicat ions to access the loc ation of your phon e. Your phone protects your privacy by giving you the option to block all or some Java applications from accessing the location of your phone.

Setting Privacy for All Java Applications

These op tions control the priv acy of all Java applications on your phone:
• Restricted — No Java or similar software applications may access the location of your phone. However, location information may still be available t o the phone’s owner, fleet manager, or account a dministrator.
• Unrestricted — All Java applications may access the location of your phone, without notifying you.
• By Permi s si on — When a Java application attempts to access the location of your phone, you are prompted to give permission. However, location information may still be available to the phone’s owner, fleet manager, or account administrator.
See “Setting Privacy Options” on page 93 for information on choosing these options.

GPS Enabled

Your phone’s GPS Enabled feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your phone, expres sed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calcul ate it) will va ry de pendin g on the enviro nment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example , GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, be tween high buildi ngs, or in ot he r si tu ati on s w here you have not establ ished a clear broad view of the sky. SEE:
“IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind”.
When you m ake a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature of your phone can help emergency personnel locate you if your phone has adequate access to GPS satel lite signals and your emergenc y res ponse center is eq uipp ed to pr oces s such information.
You can also use the GPS feature to view your approximate location. Location info rmation appears on the phone’s display.
Java appl ic at ions loade d on yo ur ph on e ca n also request your location. If your phone is connected to a laptop computer or similar device, software running on that device can request your location. To pro tec t your priva cy , yo u can contr ol whe th e r these requests are granted.

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

If you are using the G PS feature of your phone while driving, please give full attention to drivin g and to the road .
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not av ailable (usually because yo ur GPS
antenn a cannot establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS feature of your phone WILL
NOT WORK. Such situations include but are not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
88
GPS Enabled
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other obje ct) or facing the ground
• In temperat ur e extremes outside the operating limits of your phone
Walking or driving very slowly may also substantially reduce GPS performance.
Even where location information can be calculated in such situati ons, it may take much longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurat e. Therefore, in any 911 call, always report the location to the emergency response center if you can and if you cannot, remain on your phone for as long as the emergency response center instructs you.
Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites ar e available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes much further from your actual location. Advice on how to improve GPS performance is provided in “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 90.
While the GPS feature of your phone can be a valuable navigational aid, it does not replace the need for careful navigating and good judgment. Never rely solely on one device for navigation. Remember that the accuracy of the location
information and the time needed to obtain it will vary depending on circumstances, particularly the ability to r ecei ve si gn al s fr om ad equa te nu mber s o f satellites.
On emergency calls, your phone uses assistance information from the phone network to improve t he speed and accuracy of your phone’s location calculation: if such assistance information becomes un avai la bl e, it m ay r educe t he spee d a nd accuracy of the location calculation.
The satellites used by the GPS feature of your phone are controlled by the U.S. government and are subj ec t to c han ge s imp leme nt ed in acc or dan ce with the Department of Defense GPS us er po li cy and the Federal Radionavigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature of your phone.

Making an Emer gency Call

Dial 911 to be connected to an emergency response center. If you are on an active call, you must en d it be f ore cal ling 911.
When yo u make an emerg ency 911 ca ll, th e GP S featur e of your p ho ne be gi ns to se ek inf o rm ati on to calcul ate your approxim ate location. It will take
the GPS feature of your phone some time to determine your approximate location. Even
where yo ur phone has good access to sufficie nt

Viewing Your Approximate Location

GPS satellite signals and network as sist data, it may take 30 seconds or more to de termine the approxi mate lo cati on. Thi s time wil l incre ase wher e there is reduced access to satellite signals. When your approximate location is determined, it is made available to the appropriate emergency response center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency response center may not be equipped to receive GPS location information. Fo r this
reason, and because the GPS locati on information reported is onl y approximate or may not be available in yo ur location (see “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind” on page 87), always report your location to the 911 operator you speak to wh en making an emergency call , if able, just as you would when using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note: If you are con ce rne d about whet he r you r
local 911 emergency response center is equipped to receive GPS location information, contact your local aut horities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from more GPS satellites, your location will be determined faster and more accurately than if your phone ha s access to signals f rom fewer GPS satellites.
If your phone does not have adequate access to GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest cell tower in contact with your ph one is automatically made available to the emergency response center, if the center has the capability to receive such information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 90 for information on how to help your phone determine your location.

The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy.
To calculate your location again:
Press A under Rfrsh.
It may take your phone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your phone’s display saying your phone is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS Performance”.
The Position screen displays the updated information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is completed:
Press A under Cancel to return to the Position screen. -or-
Press e to return to the idle screen.
Each time approximate locatio n of your phone is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your phone and remains t here even when your phone is powered off. You will see this inf ormation the next time you view the Position screen.
If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the Position screen will dis appear, but you r phone will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the Position screen.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. If this happens when you are making an emergency call, the location of the ne arest cell tower in contact with your phone is made available to the appropriate emergency response center if the center has the capability to receive such information. If this happens when you ar e trying to view your location on the phone’s display, you will see a messa ge indicating th at your phone cann ot access satellites.
91
Enhancing GPS Perfo rma nc e
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of a successful calculation, do the following while your phone is determining your approxi m ate location:
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where the re is nothing be tw ee n yo ur ph on e an d a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performanc e in a bu ild ing is improv ed by moving clo ser to w ind ow s , gl ass wi th c ert a in su n shielding films may block satellite signals.
Extend yo ur phone antenna.
Hold your ph on e t o en ha nc e r ec ep ti o n . Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenn a, w hi ch is in your phone an t en na . Hold your phon e aw a y fr o m yo ur bo dy, giving th e antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything else.

GPS Enabled
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone is finished determining your location. Moving your phone at a walking pace while your phone is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance.
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in a car, positio n yo ur ph on e so that the GP S antenna has good access to GPS signals through the car’s windows. Ty pically, the GPS antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car when placed near a wind ow.
Note: Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance, moving it at the speed of a moving car does not.
Stay in network coverage . Depending on wh o your service provider is, the network will provide your phone with information that helps determine your location more quickly and accurately.

Updating Satellite Almanac Data

Another way to keep the GPS feature of your phone working well is to keep your s atellite almanac data up to date.
The Unit ed States government maintains an almanac of dat a abo ut w he re GP S satel l it es are a s they orbi t t he Eart h. T hi s in fo rmat i on is av ai labl e t o your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to date helps your phone determine your location more quickly.
The almanac contains information about the location of satellites, their operational status, and other sa te ll ite in f orma ti on . Ke ep in g th is in fo rmat i on updated enhances the performance of your GPS feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note: When you make an emergenc y call, your
phone do es not r el y up on the almanac to determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your phone ma y prompt you to upda te it. Follow the instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You may be asked to go to a web site or call a custo m er ca re number.
