Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS vs. Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS

As described in my old post, we can "Start Location setting if GPS disabled" by start activity with intent of "Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS".

Thanks for Brian comments:

It is better to use Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS instead of Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS.

The reason is that some phones (such as HTC Desire) have moved the GPS settings out of the Security page. Using the suggested intent gets the user to the GPS settings wherever they are.
