Can we test by switching esn's to another phone, then trying one of the GPS programs? That would effectively shut down cell and data traffic, but leave the radio turned on.

I don't know if it will work or not. I'm hoping it will. There is a chance though that some error status return from VZW will kill the GPS program.

You could also cut the etch to the antenna.
