It is only used for numeric dates -- spelled-out dates have such a complex
variety of formats that they can only be meaningfully formatted from
locale strings.
In addition, the preference is left null when initializing, on the assumption
that the locale will still specify a more useful numeric format than we can
guess as part of a build-wide configuration.
But if the user has specified a format, the date will be formatted in the
order they asked for, with locale-appropriate punctuation substituted in.
CellLocation uses TelephonyManager to get the PhoneType.
TelephonyManager uses the system property to get the phoneType,
if the ITelephony interface is not up.
LocationManagerService now listens for changes to settings,
making LocationManager.updateProviders() unnecessary.
Removed LocationManager.updateProviders()
Added Settings.Secure.setLocationProviderEnabled(), which is a thread-safe way
of enabling or disabling a single location provider.
This is safer than reading, modifying and writing the LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED directly.
