Forum: General Topics

Hello,

I have a blackberry storm and for some reason the GPS dosn't seem to be working. I did try what you listed under the blackberry 9630 but it didn't help me at all

For A GPS status I get Int GPS Signal Invalid.

Any help would be great!

Hi,

The Int GPS Signal Invalid status can actually be a sign that the GPS is working, but currently is unable to provide a full signal. With the 'Allow Costs' option turned off it may take a few minutes to get the first fix. I'd suggest initially trying the following:

- Restart the phone (do a full restart by removing the battery briefly)
- Make sure you're outside with a good view of the sky, and stationary, then start TMJ and connect to the GPS. Give it at least 5 minutes or so for it to get a fix.

Incidentally, is your Storm supplied by Verizon, as the 9630 was in the other forum thread? It looks from Google that they initially locked the GPS on this phone to third-party apps but that a recent firmware update has since removed this block. It might be worth checking if you have any firmware updates available...

Any luck?

Cheers,
Stephen
