I can access and edit settings via QPST so no big issue. The phone still works. Nonetheless this one has got me quite puzzled.
As the for gpsOne. It doesn't work for me, but then I live on a pacific island where I'm assuming now the network doesnt support aGPS. Does the GPS function only work in mainland US?
Has anyone else run into this problem with the EPST menu?
Thanks for any help.

EPST-i dont really know about this...
As far as GPS goes, aGPS is the assisted mode on the GPSone chip(hence the "a", assisted by the cell network for example)that is used to aid in triangulation and for the downloading of maps. If youre using a program that requires a data connection, then aGPS wont work if you dont have a signal or data connection (think google maps). If you are using a program which keeps its maps on a storage card or internal memory, then the chip WILL work in standalone mode(without a cell or data connection). example: TomTom
As far as GPS limitations, i know of none. GPS stands for GLOBAL Positioning System, so GPS chips arent locked by any carrier. Ideally you should be able to take GPS anywhere providing that you either have maps in stored memory of where your going, or have a data connection to download them on the fly.
Hope this helps
