Sim-X,

all good points. we're looking into it. as it involves privacy and security, we are in the process of addressing with Sprint...

we definitely understand the need.

landdong,

this is a very long thread with lots of topics therein. can you be more specific on what you're interested in seeing in coming SFL releases?

thanks.

Deaninabilene,

Can you please expand on "put the locator button behind the security pin"? I'm not sure what this means.

Thanks.

I think she means move the GPS enable option to the phone security screen.

She may not be aware that Locator works without GPS, but is just less accurate. (That IS correct, isn't it?)

I see.

unfortunately, we have no control over the on-handset functionality... so, it's unlikely we would be able to change the how the "GPS enable" option is accessed on devices. that would be up to Sprint... its certainly something we can bring up with them, but I wouldn't count on this.

yes, correct - SFL does work without GPS enabled on phones, but it is just less accurate.
