paragpatil 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 For now GPS cannot be used in Reliance Thanks for quick response... is there a work around same?? having a feature on phone and not being able to use it is a sad thing!!! I am told the reliance has locked this feature by bb support team.... GPS is independent of network one is on... so GPS chip set should be able to gather data provided by sat. Looks like unlocking the phone might do the trick (if what they are saying i.e its locked by reliance). I am on rel and intend to use rel so unlocking should not cause harm right??? Pl advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Try flashing your phone with rom which support gps. Its really sad on cdma part that they lock even network independent features. I started hating cdma due to this reason only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nawalsingal 1 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Have u subscribed to BIS/BES?, if yes, load Google maps on to your mobile. works well. Will be solution to your gps issues. ( will work only if ur device supports GPs though. I've no idea of feature list of 8330. though it's working on my friend's 8830 we with BIS plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By cracking this hardware for all networks, would that solve this? try downloading device software(reliance) from BB site, go to download section, choose operator(reliance) & then d/l the s/w. this should do the trick. (make sure u subscribe ti BIS. else it won't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
