Help - Find my location not working with V620
Posts: n/a etc close to your locations. Whenever I try to use the find my location feature in my V620, it always get my location incorrect. If I pop my SIM into my V400, it gets it right every time. Any ideas??? Is there some setting in the V620 that is incorrect??? How do the GSM phones find your location? I know that the CDMA phones have GPS, what do the GSM phones use? Thanks in advance!

In March 2003 T-Mobile also told the FCC it would stop deployment of E-OTD gear. The carriers said they would test U-TDOA technology to provide Phase II service. <http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=404> Cingular Switches to U-TDOA for E-911 Positioning Date Posted: Dec 17, 2002, 12:25 AM Source: Wireless Week Cingular has decided to switch technologies for meeting the FCC's E-911 mandate for locating 911 callers. Cingular has told the FCC that after completing successful field trials involving TruePosition's network-based U-TDOA technology, it was moving away from E-OTD, which so far has failed accuracy tests, resulting in delays and financial penalties. Cingular in October suspended shipments of E-OTD gear and began testing TruePosition's solution. <http://www.trueposition.com/news_03.10.03_cingulargsm.php> TruePosition and Cingular Sign National Multi-Year Agreement For GSM Location Solution TruePosition's U-TDOA Location Solution Provides High Accuracy For Anyphone, Anywhere KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. and ATLANTA, Ga., March 10, 2003 -- Best regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular>
