Hello,
i downloaded the latest "official" rom -3.03.651.4 and finally the gps is working fine. locks in about 10- 15 seconds to 6-9 sats.
i notice that the icons at the top bar for EV and the signal strengh, i get the pop up message when i launch the gps that say connected "phone as modem".
is that how is suppose to work? i never really notice what it said before but isnt like some like pcs or cell or something.
any one have this happening?
thanks.

the phone as modem just means dialing #777 which is needed to get the agps information for sprint phones

Mine says SprintPCS, but i edited my reg so that i can tether. And dashwire keeps the connection open so mine stays on SprintPCS all the time.
