Default STILL having satellite issues with amAze

Please Login to Remove!

I thought I had my amAze program working, but still cannot get sat coverage. Is there a reason with AT&T as my carrier now? Do I need to have their GPS option enabled for $9.99 per month? I would think that would have nothing to do with the amAze program, as it is a free item. Im kinda stumped :/

Thanks!

GPS is free to use. You need Locations Services on and to get a good satellite GPS fix, especially for the first time r if it has been a while since your last one, you need to be outside with a clear view of the sky. Can take 20 minutes or so to lock on and locate you.

I was also having trouble getting a lock. I found if I use "gpsed" and got a lock and kept this working in the background there was no problem with amAze.

No. Telenav/at&t Navigator isn't a GPS "option". It's just another GPS app. Subscribing to it doesn't enable/disable your GPS receiver.
