    Hi:
    I have the 8310 with built in GPS, but it seems it's not working. When I go to refresh GPS it always says "failed location position" no matter where I am. Today I tried to use Nav4all and it always said "No GPS coordinates". The same happens with yahoo maps and with google maps it only finds me with triangulation.
    Are there any secret settings I should change or enable to make it work? or Should I just take my BB back to AT&T?
    Please Help This is driving me crazy!

    Are you indoors or outdoors when trying? If indoors, that maybe your problem.

    But, Are you using any GPS application? Are they working? I wish I could figure out what happens!

    Don't take it back to AT&T, because they will try to convince you that you need to purchase their GPS software to get the GPS to work.

    ^So how do I use third party apps that utilizes the GPS? I posted this question on the Cureve thread also.

    I wanted to use this locate my BB application if I lose it somehow. And Google maps but it can't get any satellites.

    you may have to go deep into google map settings and activate the gps. when you first started the program, you may have hit NO on one of the questions it asked you. something to do with "Do you want this program to use your GPS".
