Oh boy, how do I deactivate that thing? How do I even know if my phone does that (I hardly think it does)? Toungue
Soak it in a tub of lukewarm water for about 30 minutes, then place it out to dry for an hour or so. Don't apply any soap or anything, you might fry the electronics. Once it's dried out, you'll have to put it in the freezer overnight to snap the geolocation sensor loose. As soon as you wake up, take it out of the freezer and give it a good whack. Should solve your problems as long as you don't take it in for servicing.

Quote:When Adam Savage, host of the popular science program “MythBusters,” posted a picture on Twitter of his automobile parked in front of his house, he let his fans know much more than that he drove a Toyota Land Cruiser. Embedded in the image was a geotag, a bit of data providing the longitude and latitude of where the photo was taken. Hence, he revealed exactly where he lived.

No that's not common knowledge. I think most people don't know it at all! Also, do you know anyone that carries a digital camera instead of a mobile phone?
