Got to http://forums.crackberry.com/f41/rea...v1-0-a-192999/ and use the alltel settuings. Your spl unlock code is 000000. It's worked perfectly on 2 alltel 8330s I have owned.

Worked on my telus 8330 as well.
(Different thread, same process)

Some carriers cripple it to force you to use their gps service. For a small monthly fee of course. :wink:

For anybody still having GPS troubles on their Curve, even after trying the fixes out there.....I think I must have tried every 'fix' i read about for my 8330m (Alltel with OS 169). My GPS rarely worked...battery pulls...GPSed...QPST fix...nothing seemed to make my GPS work consistently. I downloaded the demo of SPOT for the blackberry and now my GPS locks are instant. I can turn on the demo of SPOT and then use BBMaps..Nav4All..Live Search etc without any troubles.

Great find, thanks for sharing blueglide. I'm going to post this in the 8330 o/s 5.0 threads. It may help some people unable to get a satellite lock since upgrading.

Where do you get this demo of SPOT from?

One poster has said this will not work for vzw 8330's, but no one else has confirmed that yet.
