GPS not working for some reason

[flyingdutchman7588]

Hi guys,

So for some odd reason my GPS is not working at all. I thought it was just a one time instance so I did a battery pull a month ago. When I tried to use it again (Blackberry Traffic and Google Maps), it says "GPS unavailable" on google maps and "searching for GPS" on BB Traffic

My data is working perfectly. I have disabled and enabled the GPS module and still nothing. Did couple of battery pulls and still nothing. Any ideas?

Go into Options/Device/GPS press the blackberry button and check if it finds the location and number of satelites.

Well as of right now it finds my locations and has 4 satellites. But last night when I was downtown it said my GPS was unavailable and could not find me on the map.

So this is happening rather frequently now.

Refresh OS?

Hoping not to do that....is there anything else I can try?

I have two phones with this problem. My 9300 and my 9700 both will not connect to a GPS signal. The last week or so I've even been in the engineering screen of the 9700 to try and hard reset the settings and/or play with them to try and get it to work. No luck, though.

I have a question. If I'm only using WiFi (there's no SIM card in the 9700) it will still update the GPS (ephemeris) data, right?
