Hi guys
I got a Samsung Omnia W less than a week ago plus this is my first smartphone ever so bare with me if my question is stupid.
I was wondering how I can verify that the GPS on the phone is working (or even if it exists). I was browsing the settings menu and the menu in the Maps application but I couldn't see a single mention of the word "GPS". When I enable location in the settings the Maps app shows my location on the map but how does it get it? As far as I know there are two kinds of GPS - AGPS which uses the carrier infrastructure and the regular GPS which uses satellite. How do I know which if any is used? Are there any GPS settings in the OS? Do I need to get some particular app to access and/or use GPS?
Edit: And I just realized that I posted this in the wrong section of the forum
