i got O2 mini S phone and i was thinking of installing some software which could help me have GPS facility. Is there any built-in antenna in my phone model. Also which GPS software is suggested to use so that it can work in INDIA. If there is no built-in facility then what do i need to do to have GPS facility
Thanks

if you looked before posting you would have seen just two threads down another question re what gps unit to get so, nope.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but it seems like the best bet on someone knowing a definite answer.
I'm currently with alltel and am looking to get a ppc-8600, however on browsing around i'm noticing the sprint phones are $100-200 cheaper in general than that alltel branded ones.
Is the only difference the firmware and how long they've been out, or is there hardware differences as well? Will a sprint phone flashed to alltel have any feature/response difference?
More importantly, does anyone know for sure if alltel lets people use sprint branded phones that they sell the same model for, assuming the esn # is clear?
Likewise if anyone has an experience with it, assuming an alltel phone, or the flashed sprint phone works, would it be possible to flash over to say, the new sprint rom comming that enables full gps, and still use with alltel?
Edit: I realize i was being completely dyslexic when i first posted this. I mean the 6800. My apolgies.
Hi,
I will attempt to answer a few questions and relinquish what I do know...
I have the Alltel PPC6800. It believe it has been out since early October; maybe a little before. The Sprint version (Mogul) is cheaper because the Sprint client database is MUCH larger. Asides from the Alltel version clad all in black, the Alltel has a better radio firmware that can be installed on the Sprint Mogul. Also, the Moguls from Sprint have been plaqued with Bluetooth issues. My PPC6800's Bluetooth works great. Software differences will include Network specific apps, PRL list, etc.
I know Verizon recently released information that they were going to allow other CDMA networks phones on their network but I do not think Sprint or Alltel will. At least not yet.
Hi every body
Does Htc TyTn ( not II ) support GPS and can I add Navigator Maps ?!!

You will need to purchase an antenna to receive satelite info.
Once you link it with your bluetooth enabled phone, your software will work.
I believe ther a some hermes that have a built in gps but if yours did you wouldn't be asking.
look here they start around 60 dollars

ALL Hermes have the chip, unfortunately they don't have the receiver... As stated, you need a bluetooth receiver and the software to run. Don't bother asking for maps as that is commercial software and must be paid for. There are sites out there that you can find these things for free but not here....
I am new to this website and sorry if I am in the wrong section but not sure the tech term of my issue, but I have Droid Eris on Verizon (well page plus) in Tampa, FL area and I am getting weak signal and did some reading about "flashing my radio" to get better signal and better battery life, I have 2.1 android running on my phone and I am wondering can I flash the radio while my phone is activated in service?
I read somewhere that your phone has to be unlocked in order to flash the radio?
was told this version or whatever works good: Telus v1.04.05v
Tried searching for my exact issue but could not locate it, please help, thanks

Hello, I did some searches on this forum already and I can't seem to find the answer to my question. My samsung vibrant is already unlock and I had upgraded it to 2.2 froyo through kies mini and I am using it on ATT with data plan. I want to ask if I decided to turn on the gps and use it with a seperate app will I need to pay for the gps services with ATT? And if I decide to use Telenav GPS app in the phone would I need to pay for that too? Also would ATT know if I am using gps or having it on would that cause any problems? Can you also please be very details in your answer too because I have no idea how this whole gps thing work between the smart phone and cell phone company. Thanks you in advance.
I use Google Maps, and it is free. You can use the build in GPS (hardware) as much as you want. AT&T Navigator app costs $9.99 per month. I don't know about Telenav GPS.
