Power Widget not working

settings\Location & security

 

by turning the gps off does that only turn off your navigation? What else does that gps button do?

 

It disables the GPS on the phone. All software requiring GPS (including navigation) will not be able to use it although some apps can use wifi or/and cell towers to get an approximation of your location. You should be able to toggle it using the built-in Power Widget or any 3rd party apps from the market.

 

Wifi / bluetooth / gps / sync / brightness
That's the order, not mobile network.

 

You turn off the 'mobile network'...by going into airplane mode by long pressing the power button.

Then go into the power control widget and switch on any individual radios you might want like Wifi, GPS etc

 

Hmmm........The (talk+data) aka Verizion or mobile network can only be turned on and off. You cannot keep the talk on and data off. You can only switch those on and off together. IN airplane mode...both 3G and talk(voice) are off.

You can switch talk off and data on using what I mentioned in the previous post. Airplane mode + Wifi on.

Hope this helps

 

No it doesn't because Verizon uses CDMA not GSM, CDMA only supports one type of connection used for both voice and data (EVDO or 1xxRTT). Also GPRS is a GSM standard, like EDGE or UMTS, not a complete "mobile network".
