P8 Smartphone FAQs
8.13 What are the differences between the GPS and the
base station positioning?
For the GPS, the phone sends its location information to the positioning background through
the self-attached GPS module, and the positioning background performs positioning. For the
base station positioning, the base station of the telecommunications service provider
determines the phone's location by calculating the distance between the base station and the
phone.
The GPS uses the satellites for positioning, which consumes more power but is more accurate.
The GPS does not work when the phone is indoor. The accuracy of the base station
positioning is lower, but positioning is supported indoors.
8.14 How can I prohibit an application from acquiring
personal location information?
Go to Settings > Location access and disable Network location.
You can also use Phone Manager to protect your privacy. Go to Phone Manager > Permission
manager > Rights > Access location info. Then, prohibit the corresponding application to
access the location information.
