[Solved]How to stop GPS tracking me
 
Starting from yesterday, my n900 GPS continues to track me, but I did't turn on any GPS apps. I tried to stop GPS, but I can't. It restart automatically. Even reboot. Is there any way to find out which app is using GPS?

How can you say, "n900 GPS continues to track me"?

What do you mean when you say "GPS continously tracks you" ? from where(app/screen) do you figure this out ?

Go to Settings->Internet Connenctions and click on "Connect automatically" and change it to "Always Ask". This way next time if any app tries to connect to GPS, it would show a message saying so and so is trying to connect to internet, continue?

Errr, Internet connection is not GPS.

But OP needs to tell us how/why he thinks his phone is tracking him.

he doesn't mean track him in it's complete meaning, he means more accurately his GPS is always ON, and every time he close the GPS a software will lanch the GPS again.

by the way, Please Jedi try to look at my post maybe you will have a solution about my problem.

That's an assumption.

You mean this? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1015866 ? Dunno - sounds hardware-ish, but I don't know which is why I didn't post. Please don't try and hijack threads.

Post the output of "ps -a" while your GPS is running, but without any other applications running.

After running "ps a", I have found the problem. A foursquare auto check-in software was running. Thx for your help.
