Hi there. I have a Sony Ericsson C905 and I have a problem using my GPS. First I tried to go
>Location Services
>Settings
>Enable GPS

Then when I go back and enter the Status info, I always have No Signal or anything else. Another thin is that I have an option for google Maps, or to use the wayfinder 7. When I try to enter one of these it asks me for internet settings in which I have

Connect using
>PS data or
>CS data
I don't know what these stand for and I don't know if I need to set anything first since there are no instruction at all on the manual.


Can someone please help me on this issue?? I am always trying use my GPS outside, so having building as an obstacle is not an issue.
I would really appritiate if someone can help me solve this problem.
THANKS. [addsig]

Select PS data. Where its asking you to select which type of data connection you want to use. That is for the Assisted GPS (AGPS). This uses your internet connection alongside the phones internal GPS antenna to lock on to your location quicker. The C905 does take a while to lock on to your location anyway. Can be up to 20mins sometimes. Its even worse in the latest firmware release.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose
