I am using 9530 device. I want to find location but getLocation method returns null. I set that location object in red (see code below).

What is wrong?

Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy( Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT );
criteria.setVerticalAccuracy( Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT );
criteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption( Criteria.POWER_USAGE_MEDIUM );
LocationProvider locationProvider = LocationProvider.getInstance( criteria );
Location location = locationProvider.getLocation( -1 );

Try passing a null Criteria - this will always provide you with the "default" location provider.

And one other caveat - and I mention this only because so many folks do not seem to be aware of it - when using autonomous GPS, you need a clear line of sight to the sky. If you try this inside your office, it simply will not work 90% of this time.

If you are accessing "network assisted" GPS, this will work as long as you have cell coverage. In your example above, you are not going to get assisted mode. I'm guessing that this is your T-Mobile carrier, so assisted mode is not available in any case on this network.

You are right, this is T-Mobile provider. How can I get this assisted mode?

[Dougsg38p]

There is no "assisted" on T-Mobile, as I stated above. You'll have to rely on autonomous, which is the default on this device anyway.

See this article for some clues:

Livelink - Redirection

It's old and never updated by RIM, but might be useful.

If I send criteria as null all coordinates are 0. If I create criteria according to autonomous requirements I have null QualifiedCoordinates object. Maybe I need listener?

[Dougsg38p]

Is GPS enabled in Options on the device?

Options / Advanced Options / GPS

The 9530 has autonomous GSP, so this has to work (as long as you are not indoors).
