alikair Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Yes. I think what it does is it uses the web to locate the device. It's used for speed tests to find the closes server I think. I turned it off and now it won't let me turn back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alikair Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's a permission for many apps. Go to settings then device preferences then location, then location status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alikair Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 I went to settings then apps then Chrome getting the options and I found locations and it was off and I turned it on but I thought that fixed it but when I went back to my app I still can't do a detailed test speed test that is it always says location service disabled I didn't have that before and then what it was me a chance to make it right the choice won't stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alikair Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 White lie location is on I think it might have fixed it hold please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alikair Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Nope it's still doing it I got a message that says location service may be disabled Android requires that the location services enabled in order to get the access to detailed Wireless information so after that error message it gives me a choice of not now or continue to enable location. So when I choose continue to enable location it takes me to a side screen that says location status off that I click on that and I get a choice of off or use Wi-Fi to estimate location. I click that button on it just goes right back to off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putski Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I just went back into the buzz box settings to see if it went to WIFI location and it's lit up blue, so it worked! you may have to use the arrow cursor, it helps make things easier, navigating. good luck Edited August 15, 2020 by putski added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
