By the way, anyone have the JAD link for 8830 but version 2.0.1? I need a JAD link to version 2.0.1 for 8830, not some generic 2.0.1 MIDP 2 version that was posted earlier. Those will not work as they throw an exception at startup.
Oh and if you did not guess, I am with Bell as well.
Edit: For VZW users, you can try downloading the version of GMM posted above (again, download OTA), go outside, and start the app to see if you will get a single blue dot on the screen. You may need to wait a min or two, or restart the phone before trying. Use 0 in the app to go to your location. If however, this does not work for some reason, you guys do know that even if (and I am emphasizing a big "if" here) there is a way to disable (restrict the use to TeleNav or GPS Nav only) your internal GPS, that is done through software, and not hardware. So what this means is that you can install a non VZW version of the BB OS on your 8130 (e.g., Telus, see http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...-released.html) and you should have no problem using your GPS.
Try it, I am quite certain that one of the two options will work.
Now, again, anyone got the JAD link to 2.0.1 for BB 8830? |
I am a Sprint user w/ the Pearl 8130 and I was unable to even access the site. Are you sure that downloading this version for the 8830 will allow my internal GPS to work?
