    Question Z10 A-GPS Question

    Hey Guys,

    I have a question regarding the A-GPS on the Z10

    Firstly, i have all the services in the Location Services Tab turned on (i.e. Location Services, Traffic Data Collection & Location Based Adverts)

    Lets say i'm in the native blackberry maps app

    When i'm inside a building, the GPS does not lock on (obviously due to interference), but shouldnt the A-GPS be able determine the position (even with lesser accuracy) using the cell towers (related question ... do you need cell broadcast to be active for that and if so how do i activate it?)

    Say i'm using Facebook, it gets really annoying when i'm in a building and can't check in to a location bcoz it cant be detrmined.

    Is there any way that i can check whether the A-GPS is active or is this a software or hardware fault ?

    Would Appreciate some feedback

    TIA

    Also forgot to mention that the Maps app works fine if i'm outside in the Open and it takes only a few seconds to determine my location.

    Also, my OS version 10.0.9.2372

    It's most likely facebook. I've found facebook to be really bad with locations on every OS. What happens when you click the "my location" icon in maps while you're inside a building?

    It still doesnt work all it does is display the blue loading circle and it keeps on showing like its loading but thats it doesnt move further.

    I wonder if it could be network dependent becaus i get an instant lock through the GPS if im outside in the open.

    ???
