Abstract: Mobile devices and associated systems and methods are described. According to one example, a mobile device may include a unique scan only mode in which a wireless communication component of the mobile device is prevented from connecting to wireless networks for data communication, but may still be used to scan for available wireless access points for location determination purposes. According to another example, a mobile device may select which of a plurality of location-determination components that the mobile device should use to determine a location of the mobile device based on whether the mobile device is configured in a unique scan only mode.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for identifying peripheral devices with which problematic connections have been established. According to one embodiment, a method for detecting a model of peripheral device for which problematic connections with a computerized unit are common is disclosed. The method involves receiving values of each of one or more features of a particular connection between a computerized unit and a peripheral device, using the received values to determine a score for each of the features of the particular connection, calculating an overall connection score from the scores for each of the features, and generating a problematic peripheral device report including the model of the peripheral device if the overall connection score is indicative of a problematic connection.
