GPS function why do they need Data connection? can someone point out?

[bogus83]

Pjrey- I will also be using a Sprint Vogue without a data plan. Are you able to take or make calls while the GPS is active? I've read elsewhere that this is impossible. Is that true?

i am able to make calls just fine while gps is enabled... (if you are using gps mode 1)

Is GPS or more specifcally TT7 supposed to work in Flight mode?

From what I understand, if you close your data connection, the GPS should work under gps mode = 2?


Thanks

i'm using OMG's latest bell custom rom and this fixed my gps!

prior my settings where:
EnableAGPS=1
EnableGPSSmartMode=1
GPSMode=2

and it would work ... but it took like 20mins in a moving car to get a lock ... after yr changes i got a lock, here in my room, after about 1min. sweet!!

actually i just changed them back after a soft reset ..and it now gets a lock within a few seconds.

seriously ..wtf.


but at anyrate, it's working after i fiddled with these settings and i upuntill tonight had not got a single lock outside of a moving car, or within 10 mins.

Bell just block GPS feature for Blackberry, you won't get accurate position unless you pay $10 for GPS Nav/month...........I think Bell did this through give wrong AGPS info to Blackberry, wondering if Bell will did same thing to Touch.
