Well I've had this PREPAY ph for 4 years and as far as I know, if I don't select A-GPS, it doesn't use data - until recently! (Maps V3.06 - maybe I've updated this recently).

Is this possible or have I made an error somewhere?

Settings: Positioning> Assisted GPS = Off, Integrated GPS = ON, Bluetooth GPS = Off, Wi-Fi/Network = Off, Network based = Off.

But on two recent test trips, my prepay balance reduces by exactly $1 and my Log>Data counter shows about 500 kB received (less sent as I recall - zeroed since). Note: $1 is standard Voda daily data rate per day in NZ up to 1 MB.

So I'm pretty sure the GPS is costing me $1/day even though I have A-GPS et al switched off! In both tests I ensured I have not used the phone for anything but navigation (using Walk navigation with voice).

Shouldn't this be free?

Ph version V52.0.007 of 17 Oct 10.

Also confirm that with in the Maps --Spanner Icon-->Internet--> Connection is set to OFFLINE ...

Thanks. Yep I saw this after my tests and toggled it a couple of times - bit of a klutz though as I didn't take note of setting prior to fiddling! So I've now set if OFFLINE so will do another test.

Thanks - this may be the issue.
