GTalkSMS is unable to enable/disable the GPS #216

The code was working on my SGS with 2.1 / 2.2, but with 2.3.3 the "where" 
command does not enable the GPS if it's disabled.

Smashed my screen so I have a new phone; Alcatel onetouch 908s stock 2.2.2 
Froyo (No Root, yet.) still doesn't work. Throws this error:

Could not enable GPS: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: updateProviders

I do get a "Last known location", and current location from the cell towers, 
but now it wont shut off.

Programmatically enabling/disabling of the GPS was never supported by the 
Android API. All methods for 2.2, 2.3 and so on where "internal" hacks, that 
fail on one device or another software version.

I am going to set this to done, since we are able to start and stop the GPS on 
most devices. If you have an device that doesn't work AND you know the internal 
API (code snippets) that allow use to do so, please drop us an mail.
