11.23 +GPSSTA – Configure GPS status (9575)
This command is added in 9575 to enable and disable the GPS functionality.
Exec Command: +GPSSTA=<mode>[,<pin>]
where:
<mode>:
0 disable GPS functionality
1 enable GPS functionality
<pin>: GPS Settings Lock PIN, if necessary (only needed if enabling or disabling GPS functionality when
GPS Settings Lock is enabled).
If the GPS Settings Lock PIN is required and the PIN supplied is incorrect, this command returns +CME
ERROR:016 (incorrect password).
If the command is to enable GPS functionality and the GPS Settings Lock PIN is required and is not
supplied, this command returns either:
+CME ERROR: 146 (GPS Settings Lock PIN required) and the MMI will display the PIN screen.
+CME ERROR: 003 (if the MMI cannot display the PIN screen at present).
If the command returns +CME ERROR: 146 and the PIN screen is displayed on the MMI, when the PIN
screen is closed (either by the user entering the correct PIN or by the user dismissing the screen) an
unsolicited notification is issued as follows:
+GPSSTA:1 (correct PIN has been entered, GPS has been enabled)
+GPSSTA:0 (PIN has not been entered correctly, screen has been dismissed, GPS has not been enabled).
If another AT+GPSSTA=n command is issued (with or without PIN) while the user still has the PIN screen
open, it returns +CME ERROR:003.
