[Q] What uses GPS

I am noticing that my Atrix running Alien ROM is trying to check its location every 15 minutes.
Is there a way to find out which app is trying to access GPS?
The phone is pretty much wiped, just restored it to default using CWM. Is it default behaviour and I just noticed it now?
Check the latitude application sign out from that if you are signed in.

My Mobiler will allow you to view and control the device from your desktop.

They just released a version for Android, but it requires a "rooted" device.
Unfortunately, I'm on .21 and unrooted.
Like havi said, it was a good app in the "old" days....glad to see it available for Android....now all I have to do is to wait for the root capability.

Wow, I remember that app back in the Windows Mobile Days. It never was very good, but was very useful when wanting to type text messages with your keyboard.

Xfinity Player for Comcast

Those that have Comcast might want to check out this app. Comcast actually released a decent app.

Thanks for the heads up, this is a sweet app.
Wow thanks. They've really been stepping their device apps with the xbox app and now this.
Thanks for sharing.

Lol I hope, with what my parents pay we could use some sweet stuff.
The app does not work on my phone. It gets stuck at "Verifying application integrity". I'm running RezRom S4.
I'm just wondering why the app requests root permissions. Good app though.

I suspect that asking for root is a security check. Content providers are very twitchy about this on demand from anywhere stuff. I denied it. No reason for it to have root except to see if it's there.
Do u know if this is supposed to replace the old xfinity app? Cuz that one was laggy as fux.. and it only changes my channels when it wants too

I denied it too. Hadn't thought they might just be checking to see who is rooted. Interesting...

Glad they finally made this, but unfortunately I can't use it in Afghanistan.

No root check (inefIcs) but stuck checking app authentication.. lots of locked content unless you've got pay channels... Thanks for heads up OP..

Is there a way you can stop the app from checking what subscriptions you're paying for. I just have internet and directv streaming is a bit behind xfinity.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
So you don't want to pay for cable but you want to get the content for free?
No.
The DirecTV app is still on beta mode and its who I have my "cable" subscriptions with. I was able to watch a show yesterday on xfinity and the hd quality is excellent compare to the DirecTV app at this time. Just wondering if it was possible

There's a reason why you have to sign up for satellite on contract, and it isn't because of how awesome it is. Comcast has contracts now, but they are optional and mainly a way to lock in rates and get something free.
everyone i've ever known who signed a contract with a sat company has regretted it. they make you pay for everything, too.
Missing the download link to xfinity player

[Q] Motorola Photon 4G volume issues

Ok, so my mom has a Photon and the volume (ringtones and notifications mostly) wont work when shes had it on silent for more then 30 minutes. Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and nothing has changed. Oh yea and she is on her 3rd one and they have all had the same problem. If anyone has any thoughts Id love t hear them!
Thanks.
Strange... I never heard of this. Are you on the stock ROM?

Yes its on the stock rom. She wont let me root it because shes affraid it something will go wrong.
Does the sound come back once you've rebooted the phone? I mean, taking it out of silent should be enough to unsilence it

You would think that unsilencing it would be enough but for whatever reason in this case its not but yes the phone has to be rebooted every time in order or the volume to work again but sometimes that doesnt even work.
Odd... the only thing I can think of would be to restore it back to a stock SBF, but that might not do much since you've had the issue with 4 other phones. You shouldn't hurt it though

With that many devices it would seem it could be an app problem.

Yeah I agree. I would factory reset, not install any apps, test and see if the problem appears.

[Q] Very slow wi-fi connection

Hi guys..I'd like to know if someone of you have ever had problem in speed with the wifi.
just bought this phone and I really like it but this problem is driving me crazy.
I'm not even able to download an app from the store and even the meteo update takes much time.
should I bring it back?
thanks!!!
You should check it with a Notebook first, i don't think this is a phone problem.
