ok, so if I have a widget on my desktop on the phone and gps is switch off (dispabled) how should I "enable/disable" it. I couldn't find anything on that.
the other thing is that when I use ddms to fake gps and I send long/ lat-d manually my location listener is telling me that for first time status is temporary unavailable then it is available but no updates on positions comes as I click. is it a bug or feature. I need to try this in my phone.
