    I am aware that the little bullseye (white ring with a cross through it) is the symbol for GPS 'on,' but when I go in to Advanced Options>GPS to turn it off, I am presented with only two options - ON and OFF. I find no emergency 911 settings. I am using OS 4.5 on a 8330. The symbol appeared the other day, and I cannot seem to find how to get it off my screen. Am I trying to make a change from the wrong area? Thank you in advance for the help.

    Your options for GPS should be Location On and 911 only.

    I go in to OPTIONS>Advanced Options>GPS>. Then my choices are 'Location Off,' and 'Location On.' Is there some other way I should be addressing this? Another route? Thank you.

    I don't understand what is wrong, mine doesn't say Location off. Just only options is Location On/911! That is what I know should always say for 8330's! Even with the option 911 on, the GPS bullseye icon will always be present on your screen.

    It's the same thing either way.

    What OS version is on your BB? Options, About, third line down.

    I have version 4.5.0.89. It runs great, and I have no problems. But there is definitely not a '911 only option. Just 'Location On,' and 'Location Off.'

    You are 2 OS updates behind. There was 4.5.0.127 and now 4.5.0.160 out for Alltel.

    .127 has a bug that prevents GPS from working properly, so you can skip that version.

    OK, thanks so much. You are very helpful. Now . . . can I ask for a little more help? Once I download this new Alltel OS to my computer, what is the procedure to get it to my phone? Step-by-step, what do I do? Should I have the phone already hooked up to the computer? I appreciate the Crackberry help, guys.

    Follow the upgrade/downgrade link in my signature in my previous posts. Disregard any references to wiping your BB with JL Commander, it isn't necessary.

    Just be aware that upgrading to that version will not affect the GPS choices on that screen.
