How to Enable Location Services on Android for GemLightbox Connection

Quick Answer

To connect your GemLightbox to the GemHub on an Android device, you must enable both the main location service in your phone's settings and location permission for the app. Android requires this for the app to discover nearby Bluetooth devices like your GemLightbox.

Before You Start

  • You will need your Android smartphone or tablet.

  • Ensure the GemHub is installed from the Google Play Store.

  • Have your GemLightbox powered on and nearby.

Steps

  1. Open your device's Settings app.

  2. Tap on Location. If you cannot find it on the main screen, use the search bar within Settings to search for "Location".

  3. Ensure the main Use location toggle at the top of the screen is turned On.

  4. On the same Location screen, tap on App permissions or App location permissions.

  5. Find and select the GemHub from the list of apps.

  6. Choose the permission setting Allow only while using the app. This allows the app to find your GemLightbox when it's open without constantly using your location.
