Re: Quick Questions

Just to throw in my 2 cents about the GPS...

GPS itself is physically incapable of working indoors. It will not work without a clear view of the sky. As was mentioned already if you are getting a lock that is only within a few hundred feet of you then it is finding you either through triangulation of the cell towers / wifi or through the sprint network.

You can turn on/off what ways you want it to locate you in Settings < Location.

If you only want the most accurate location then turn them all off except GPS, but it will only work when you have a totally clear view of the sky. But if you want it to be as fast as possible and work pretty much anywhere then leave the other ones on.
