Re: Alltel and GPS seems to be working

Thanks for the hint. I was not able to get the Alltel version to work with Google maps GPS until I read your post.

Turned "location" on and it's working great without the Alltel nav subscription. Was able to pick up satellites for Google maps simply by placing the phone near a window.

By the way, if there is anyone reading this that does not know how to turn "use location on" (I had to do a google search), it is under settings...phone...services...location setting...get settings. (Note that 911 location is available even if location setting is turned off.)

Everything I've tried to do on the Alltel version seems to indicate that it is hardware-identical to the sprint version. Hope there are lots of Alltel version users working on more efficient ROMs.
