I am trying to check if it is possible to fetch the location using Location Manager using the below procedure

LocationManager service = (LocationManager).getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); boolean network = service.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

The above logic works fine in Sony Ericsson, but when it comes to samsung, 'service.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)' always returns true., even with GPS , WiFi turned OFF and even with out a SIM card inserted.

Did anybody come across this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

what model of samsung phone are you testing on? – MikeIsrael May 14 '12 at 12:25
is it throwing any exceptions? What happens when you call getAllProviders()? – MikeIsrael May 14 '12 at 12:33
No exceptions., I have not called getAllProviders()., but I when I did to check, the log shows this '[network, passive, gps]' – Code_Yoga May 14 '12 at 12:43
It sounds to be like a hardware bug. I did a quick search but didn't see any reports about that issue. – MikeIsrael May 14 '12 at 13:17
Same problem here, Samsung GT-P5100. – Helix Jul 15 '14 at 08:58
