Alltel 6.1 GPS locked to AGPS only

hvnhlpr · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2008, 03:48 PM

The GPS is not working in Live Search or Google maps- just the Telenav app.

Is there anyway around this?

Same issue here. The only way I can get Google Maps to work with the GPS is to use the Alltel Telenav application first. I too have tried the GPS fixes to no avail.

Just want to double check, did all your turn the location settings on. It is off by default.
Start-settings-phone-services tab-highlighted location setting - click get settings button and choose "on"

Hope that help.

Location Setting was the only thing I forgot. I noticed the same issue and was like WTH?
