Is there any way activate the GPS chip without activating with sprint?
Thanks
I dont know what u really mean but i never use the Telenav from sprint that comes with the phone or pay anything for GPS.. i normally use GoogleMaps, or Windows Live they provide softwares for ur phone and they are for free of course they are not going to be like an actual GPS that tells u turn right or left but more simple but at least gives u an idea to know what route to take.. just google it on your phone and put google maps for mobile or something like that and it should pop up that software install it and then open it i belive it is under menu or something like that there is an option that says use or track with GPS and it just takes a min to tell ur location and directions
