- Hey i have my 8350i nextel mexico, but i have a problem.
when i try to use the gps of the BB, i cant use it in google maps, or Nav4all (free gps aplication).
Nextel mexico tell me that i need to pay Telenav and then my gps will be aviable. But i dont want to pay.
I used to think that if any cellphone have gps, you only need to have internet conecction. but i think that i was wrong because i have gps and internet but my gps dont work
does anyone know how i can use my gps without pay to nextel the Telenav?03-04-09 08:00 PMLike 0 -

While it's possible to do this inside, if you've moved great distances (or the phone has) since it was last initialized, it may take a while to lock on.
Do you have any data plan at all on your phone? Or is data shut off?
My gut instinct tells me the 8350i uses the network to download recent almanac data to the gps reciever, so it doesnt need to get it from the sat. signals. (This speeds up performance).
So if you have no data at all, it could be an issue.03-05-09 02:13 AMLike 0 - This was my experience until I installed v.128 of the software. Now the GPS gets a lock within 30 seconds, usually much faster.03-05-09 05:41 AMLike 0
