Re: Programming via USB

I don't have data plan, can't afford it. I actually asked vsw to lock out data on my account because people kept sending me pictures.

So you need to access data to use a-gps, I thought so. Data is out for me though.

Last night this thing would get a fix within 1-2 mins. and this morning it would lock up within seconds. It would work in my house and car with no problems. Now its been searching since my last post and has 0 satellites. Very strange, maybe these things (gps receivers in cell phones) just ain't that good without agps helping out. I could see the agps reducing the lock time from maybe 5 mins. to 30 sec. but I just cant see it taking hours to lock up even without a-gps. Also, satellite to ground transmission is usually pretty consistant. There is rain attenuation somtimes when the frequencies are up at 14 GHz and more but these frequecies are much lower, 1900 MHz or 1400MHz I believe. Besides we have clear skys here. This is very strage. IDK maybe the phone is just broken.
