Hi,
Not sure what forum to put this one in since it could be an Android general question, an Intercept question, or a Sprint network question!
I have three new phones. One Evo, and two Intercepts.
Both of the Intercepts exhibit the same problem. When I open the browser to Google OR any application that uses location info like Fandango, etc. the phones will NOT locate my position using tower triangulation. GPS works fine but while indoors and no GPS lock, I have no location service.
All the necessary settings on the phones are on such as use mobile network location, gps, etc. etc. I've researched this and have tried all the fixes.
My Evo has no such problem.
I've also noticed using Latitude the phone will triangulate with the towers fine while traveling. However when we get back to our home city Latitude reverts the location back to where we were and continues to update from that location! I know it's using triangulation because of the 'circle of confidence' around the user is much larger than true GPS has.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? My next test will be to bring an Intercept to work with me to see if the towers in my area are at fault. My Evo works fine in the same location however.
Thanks!
Todd
