Java Applications and GPS
Enabled
Some Java applications can make use of your
phone’s GPS feature to determine the approximate
geographical location of your phone. (See “GPS
Enabled” on page 127 for more information on the
GPS feature.) However, for privacy reasons, you
may not always want Java applications to access
the location of your phone. 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 options control the privacy 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 to the phone’s owner, fleet
manager, or account administrator.
• Unrestricted — All Java applications may
access the location of your phone, without
notifying you.
• By Permission — 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 133 for
information on choosing these options.
Granting or Denying Permission
If you choose By Permission, you must grant or
deny each Java application access to the location
of your phone when the application requests
access for the first time. You may be required to
grant or deny subsequent requests from the same
application, depending on the privacy setting you
choose for the individual Java application (see
“Setting Privacy for Each Java Application” on
page 122).
When a Java application requests access to the
location of your phone, a screen appears informing
you.
To deny this request:
1 Press

under Deny. The application does not
access the location of your phone.
