Whatsapp keeps turning my GPS on, how can I stop it?
Whenever I use Whatsapp, my GPS turns on. Even after I go to the settings and un-tick the box that allows apps to use my GPS tracking, Whatsapp seems to be able to bypass the permission, turn GPS on and set the settings back on. What's going on? How can I stop it?

How can I create recurring events in Jorte?
That is, an event that happens once a week, once a month, once a year, etc. Pretty sure I've read that this can be done, but I can't figure out how. (I've also read that this app has quite a learning curve!) I don't want this calendar linked with my Google calendar, so creating it there isn't an option.

Orange HTC Hero Unlock problems
Orange being the unhelpful company that it is, can't unlock phones in the shop. This was unfortunate as I was going overseas, but no matter, I called the helpline, and then was told it'll take three weeks - to get the IMEI sent to HTC, and get the unlock code back. I had no choice so I waited, and after three weeks I g...
