It locks only if using GPS. | rudolph.yustian | 10/10/10 9:41 PM | By default, i always put my network position on 2G. This enables me to conserve some battery power rather than putting it on 2G & 3G. So yes, i've tried to change between the three of these 2G, 3G, and 2G & 3Goptions, with no luck.. :( |

| Re: Google Maps "My Location" on BB 9650 does not lock on while connected to 3G. It locks only if using GPS. | The C Man | 10/11/10 1:53 PM | You're wrong. Location aiding is cell tower. Without it only GPS works. Was you phone officially unlocked as hackers can ruin a Blackberry. From the other thread I have very little use for CDMA phones as you may have seen. |

It locks only if using GPS. | The C Man | 12/21/10 2:55 AM | Ridwan, Your old 8320 was not capable of using GPS so it had to use Cell Tower Triangulation. Have you turned on the AGPS in Location which will allow the Cell Tower location when GPS is not available? Do you have the latest OS http://us.blackberry |
