What OS Level are you runing on?

Which device model are you trying to run on?

Is this the simulator or a device?

Which network?

All of these can impact your results.

hi,

I'm looking at a RIM document for support GPS carriers on the 8830, and I don't see your carrier, so this might be a carrier issue.

You can try forcing autonomous mode (no carrier assistance) by setting "cost-allowed" to "not allowed" in your criteria.

You might also try (first) pasing a null Criteria to get the default provider. Perform a status request on this provider and see if it is unavailable.
