okay i have an unlock 9530 storm
im using it for att
why is there a little crossair under the word edge?

[jeffh]

The crosshair icon represents your GPS. If you have concenctric arcs emananting from the side of it, then you have Location Based Services enabled. No arcs means 911-only GPS services.

is there anyway for me to take those off?
does that use data?

[mclarryjr]

Go to options>advanced options>gps and switch gps serviced to 911 only
I'm not sure if it effects your app memory but heard it may drain the battery.

does that use data? because i dont have unlimited data i have pay per use

[mclarryjr]

not sure I would check with AT&T

[richy2010]

i have the "data services" to off
so they wont charge me right?

[jeffh]

I don't know about Location Based Services, but all the mapping apps definitely use data: Google Maps, BBMaps, etc, they all download their maps using your data connection. If you don't have unlimited data, you probably don't want to use them.

[richy2010]

so as long as i dont open the app they wont use data?

[jeffh]

That should be right. Otherwise you'd be getting charges for something you didn't agree to pay for.
