I beg to differ, jamina, but the PE (at least mine) DOES appear to have a GPS chip inside, though not activated by default. It didn't rear it's head until last nite when I performed the 2.2 and allmine and gapps updates from this site, but now when I run Google Maps, it is tracking me, and pretty accurately too LOL
So my unit either has a GPS, or it is possessed. I am happy either way

I had success using the method described in this post. You have to know how to use Titanium Backup, how to root your device, and be confident that you know what you are doing. This procedure, done incorrectly, has a chance to brick your device. But given you updated without a hitch you're probably ok.
If you don't want to go through that hassle, you can sideload apps from many locations such as freewarelovers.com and androidzoom.com
Good luck! |
