Re: How to unlock GPS on Verizon HTC Imagio
 
My Imagio GPS works in Bing and Google. I had to go into the menue and change it from the default 911 location only. If you have not done this, it will not work. The phone ships with GPS limited to 911, you must go and enable it for everything. I don't remember where in the menues it is hidden, but I found it on here (where to enable all GPS) so someone may be able to point you at the post that tells noobs like me (and maybe you) where it is.

You should be able to get to it from the Settings Tab > Location Service > Location Service Settings On and also check the HTC location service.

You are correct, there is somewhere that has a choice of the 911 service only or the other choice that enables GPS in all. I poked around on my Imagio just now and I swear, I can not find it! I think Humpa sent me to a post that showed where exactly it was, but the fact remains that I remember this exact problem and the solution was finding that screen where the 911 service is selected and change it to all services. I'll keep poking around and I'll look over at HowardForums to see if I can find it again.

Now that you say HUMPA - I remember getting my INFO from there.

Got it! I knew if I looked enough I would find it in this phone!

Go to settings. I slid the blue slider to the right to the gear looking icon to get here.
Click the icon of the folder that says CONNECTIONS.
Click the center icon called COMM MANAGER.
Click the second bar down called PHONE (CHANGE PHONE SETTINGS).
Click the third tab to the right called CDMA SERVICES.
In the list that appears, click the top one called LOCATION SETTING.
Click the button on the bottom that says GET SETTINGS...
Select the top choice called LOCATION ON.
Click OK
Click OK
Click the X to close.
Click OK.
Click the X again.
And your back out with your changes saved. Go GPS'ing!
