Steps to turn location ON or OFF for your device
1. On your slide, open Settings menu
2. Click Location.
3. Use the switch to turn Location services ON or OFF. When the switch at the top of the screen
is OFF, your device location isn't shared with any apps. When the switch at the top of the
screen is ON, you can choose one of the following modes:
High accuracy: High accuracy mode uses GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular networks to get the highest-
accuracy location for your device. It uses Google's location service to help estimate your
location faster and more accurately.
Battery saving: Battery saving mode estimates your location using low battery-intensive
location sources, such as Wi-Fi and cellular networks. It uses Google's location service to
help estimate your location faster and more accurately.
Device only: Device only mode estimates your location using GPS only. It doesn't use
Google's location service to provide location information. This mode may use more battery
power and take longer to determine your location.
You'll see the location icon
being used by any app. This icon doesn't necessarily indicate GPS activity — it just means that a
mode using more power to determine your location is turned ON.

lets you get to the Home screen quickly.
Pattern: Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the device.

securing than face unlock but not as much as pattern or password lock.
