Question for those who have installed Blackberry Tracker-
- Been thinking of adding this app to my phone, but before I do, wanted to find out if there was a way to disable the feature from my phone anytime I wanted to, if for example, I didn't want to be able to be tracked for a period of time, or is it that once you install it, you are always trackable?
Also, does the application use up your battery faster or use up a lot of free memory? Thanks in advance.08-18-08 10:43 AMLike 0 - I have googlemaps on my phone, but my battery doesn't die after only a few hours. Does it only do that if you don't close out of it?08-18-08 10:58 AMLike 0

Styln: turning off your phone will disable your GPS. It isn't necessary to remove the battery.08-18-08 11:00 AMLike 0 - Can't you just go to options-advanced options-gps-location services and location aiding off to be gps free? Btw, what does location aiding do? Is that the cell tower location thing? Also, I use live search gps a lot, and it really doesn't kill my battery at all.

In both cases, your phone is still broadcasting your location to emergency services. If you want to truly disappear, you have to turn the phone off.
Since I don't have a functioning internal GPS, I can't be sure what Location On does. I can surmise that it provides your location data to 3rd party apps, but I don't know for sure.08-18-08 11:19 AMLike 0 - that's what I thought. My dad works for the DA office and can track any phone if its on. Kind of cool if you ask me. I think the op is just wondering if you can turn gps off so people can't track you that way. Right?

Well thats what I wanted 2 know....thx!08-18-08 11:49 AMLike 0 - your welcome. But to the op, you want to disable the gps when you don't want to be seen right? If that's so, look in the options of your app or do the gps thing that I mentioned. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

- Good afternoon,
I just purchased and downloaded the file from mrxsystem's site, but it keeps telling me it isn't compatible with my Bold. I've e-mailed support a few times, but not getting anything back.
I am assuming I have an incorrect file, even though I went through and selected my Bold 9000.
Can someone help me out? Maybe someone who has downloaded this on the their Bold has the correct file?
Some other advice?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
