Garmin Mobile Help - Sprint Touch 6.1

[viper2pt0]

Hey all, I have installed the Garmin mobile xt software on my phone. I chose this because I do not have, nor do I want a data plan. Here is my issue, why cant I enable gps without enabling the data connection?? I've downloaded gpstoggle, and nodata, and if I disable "Phone as modem" and "Sprint PCS", then I have a very very difficult time connecting to satellites. If I enable "Sprint PCS" here, I can lock on very quickly, but my little icon changes from the normal cell phone service & bars, to two little arrows and bars, and in connection manager you can see that the data connection is open. I also made sure to disable internet from inside of garmin so it wont try to connect on its own (for the traffic and stuff I guess) What gives?? is there a way I can fix this? I definitely don't want to get a huge bill at the end of this month because of data charges!

Yes, undo all the crap you did and start over. Garmin's XT software gets traffic by default, all you need to do is go to settings(in XT) and disable traffic, then it won't try to connect.

Sorry, I can't seem to follow your above story. And you may want to d/l the XT users manual it is full of very useful things.
