Get rid of the setComponent() and addCategory() calls and see if that helps. You should not be using those in any case, particularly the ComponentName that hard-wires in invalid package and class names.

I think this code is helpful for you

Intent intent1 = new Intent(); intent1.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.SecuritySettings"); context.startActivity(intent1);

This doesn't work on all devices (e.g. JellyBean/4.1) since the settings for geo have been moved around a bit. – Stefan Hoth Oct 02 '12 at 13:15
