AGPS & your
location
Your phone can use the automatic location
information feature, along with Assisted
Global Positioning System (AGPS) satellite
signals, to tell the network where you are
physically located.
When ALI is set to Location On, your phone
displays the ä (ALI on) indicator. Services
may use your known location to provide
useful information (for example, driving
directions, or the location of the nearest
bank). Your phone prompts you when the
network or a service asks for your location.
You can refuse at this point.
When ALI is set to 911 Only, your phone
displays the ã (ALI off) indicator, and the
phone does not send location information
unless you call the emergency phone number
(such as 911).
Press r > w > Settings > Location > Location On
or 911 Only.
AGPS limitations & tips
Your phone uses assisted-Global Positioning
System (AGPS) satellite signals to estimate
your location. If your phone cannot find strong
satellite signals, your AGPS might be slower,
less accurate, or it might not work at all. AGPS
provides only an approximate location, often
within 150 feet (45 meters) but sometimes
much farther from your actual location.
To improve AGPS accuracy:
• Go outside and away from
underground locations, covered
vehicles, structures with metal or
concrete roofs, tall buildings, and
customize
