The location settings are a bit confusing. I leave mine on at all times, but I don't think that means it's ACTIVELY using GPS when it's enabled.

I should probably try some tests, by disabling location, and opening google maps to see if it can lock.

If not, then there's really no way to NOT use GPS, and pull signal from towers--they both come together. A-GPS pulls instant, then GPS fine-tunes... the way A-GPS is supposed to work, but WM could never get quite right--at least not on Sprint, and I heard it was worse on AT&T.
