Looks like they purposely removed this feature in ICS.

Here is the "fix"

        // if Android is ICS or higher, disable this feature
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11){
            fenableGPS.setChecked(false);
            fenableGPS.setVisibility(CheckBox.GONE);

        }

This will remove the option for ICS and up.  This will no longer show up in the 
edit device screen if you have API 11 or higher.  Sorry folks.

I'm sorry, i can't understand your code.
What's "fenableGPS" ?
and where's the code combined ?
Thank you!

The point is that Android purposely removed the ability for apps to auto-enable 
GPS.  When they did this I implemented an Android version check to disable the 
feature.  Basically it is gone forever and I cannot make it work in Android 4.0 
and up.
