After losing DRM keys some GPS functions will not work - Xperia SP General

Well, almos everybody knows that if you unlock the bootloader you lose the DRM keys, which in the SP means losing the BRAVIA Engine, WALKMAN-Facebook likes and music information download and last but not least you will not be able to share your location via MMS and as I found today, the new Car mode app that shows you a map and some GPS information will not show you the map.
Today I bought a new ST27a (Go) and installed the Car mode app to see if that was true...and It is. The Xperia Go shows the map but the SP dont and keeps saying "location not found" (SP screenshot resized, it was too big to compare)

interresting info about GPS

Hi guys, I reading some info about geocaching DGPS, WAAS and EGNOS and I want to share one info. As default in Sirf Star III receiver firmware is enabled the so-called Static navigation, this mean if your speed is lower than 4Km/h GPS stop actualisation and fix position on last coordinates, and you dont know exactly, where you are. Then when you move slowly your point on map jump. This is not problem in car, but for walkers or tourist or geocachers is not so good. Exist few programs to set this off, especially for PDA. For more info read this forum in english, or this for Slovak/Czech speaking people.

You're likely on a 4.4/kitkat rom, Google Camera was released a couple weeks ago to all nexus and google play edition devices.
It's also optionally available to oem KK devices.

See this - http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/03/google-play-services-70-places-everyone.html
I'm pretty sure if you use the new Fused Location Api the prompt will appear automatically

[Issue - Oreo] Google Maps keeps entering Picture in Picture mode

Hi, I can't understand why when I'm using maps navigator in full screen mode, randomly, it just shifts to Picture in Picture mode. I do not press home button.
Don't know if it a bug or if it happens to someone else. I think it is pretty annoying.

Go to settings- apps- (upper right) special access- pictures in picture. Find maps in the list and turn off allow. YouTube have a switch built into the app itself. GL

Mi Tv Stick : Get rid of shared controls.

My Friend and I share a network. So whenever he turns on his MI TV stick, everyone at our house gets a notification for shared controls. How do I turn it off? we tried using google home app method which we found on google but that does not work as settings screen for the said device is blank. My dad or my wife sometime stop the media being played as they were not aware of the situation. (My friend complained me that his videos keep stopping and he has no Idea why which was hilarious.). Though it does not affect me directly, it gets very annoying fast. How do I get rid of shared controls.
