In location,you only have apps that use the GPS. But through those apps you give permission for accessing GPS. Does GPS work?

Now location has GPS and all required. What app do you want to use?

Hi,
Thank u for your reply.And i didn't understand about what you meant by "Now
location has GPS and all required".First of all i am developing an app that needs gps
connection.And i am unable to use gps in my mobile.And the app is used to show the user
the current longtitude and latitude values of their location.The first screenshot is taken
from my mobile and the second screenshot is taken from someone else's mobile.The
option in the second screenshot LOCATION SOURCES is not available in my mobile(Please
see the first screenshot)and that is my question whether can i have the option LOCATION
SOURCES that is in the second screenshot in my mobile which is needed for my app? and
how?

The location setting menu was redesigned in Android 4.4,instead of "GPS satellites" you now have "High accuracy" so when you set "Mode" to "High accuracy" you're turning on the GPS.

To check if your GPS is working you can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
