Re: gps on 8230 flip
First, which device do you have- the 8320 per your profile or the 8230 per the post?
The 8320 doesn't have GPS. The 8230 does. To get a GPS signal, you need to be outside with a clear view of the sky. It can take 20 minutes or so to lock on. To get useful information, you need a BB data plan and a map application such as Google Maps. |

Please update your profile. How long does it take before the window pops up? Do you have location services set to "ON"? Do you use Google Maps? If so I recommend it, since it uses cell tower data and triangulation to locate you within 1700-2500 meters. This will help the GPS lock on quicker. |
