Hi Thomas, Hi Marcos Hi guys, after OTA 9 I have described problem from Marcos' question. I have always my GPS disabled only if I need it I enable it. After OTA 9 I enabled the location button like ever in the shortcuts. I was missing the GPS button there and didn't find it in setting under location so I thought that everything were working fine. After several minutes I recognized that there wasn't a GPS signal... I tried it over some days to activate this signal without success. A friend of mine in a Ubuntu group told me then, that there were another setting button under the battery settings!!! I hadn't got any idea that THERE is the new place for the GPS button. After activating this button GPS and location worked, not really good, but it is working. If I hadn't this friend I would still searching this button, so I also think it would make sense to give developers the possibility to check this setting.
