Solution: turn your phone off. but then go back to the comm manager and turn on the bluetooth. then start up your gps software.
=====solution above is from another forum=====


There's a hack at XDA that allows tom tom to use gps with flight mode on.
garmin still searching....

Bro karlbum,

Did you try it yourself yet?
It did not work. It gives a different message with that setting.

I had even taken the risk to change the settings in the registry before and it still will not work without turning on the phone.

ADD: Somehow, by turning off the phone, the GPS is turned off too.

hmmm i read somewhere this is omnia's architecture problem so i dont know la. maybe specific to omnia?

though u might ask ppl in xda to look into it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
Finally got it to work!

karlbum mentioned about tomtom can use gps with flight mode on... so decided to google about it.
A website that has nothing to do with omnia, but it helps.

refugeez could u pin this solution to the 1st page?
its not that often that u want to use this kind of thing but i'm sure somebody will have a use for it

Its especially useful for travelling omnians.
Now can use gps while overseas without risking receiving expensive roaming calls.
I have observed that even if you reject a roaming call, you will still be charged for 1 minute.
anywhere between RM2-RM5 per minute

Steps:

Go to phone>menu>options>security
Click on ‘require PIN when phone is used’
When prompted, key in PIN num.... by default:
Digi: 1234
Maxis: 0123
Celcom:.... not sure (1234 ?)

When done, proceed to off phone function(flight mode)
GPS is now still usable.

To re-enable phone, simply key in the pin num.
Or alternatively, remove PIN requirement under the said settings.


using v4..... most ppl using v5.
i've used v5 before but still prefer previous version, map dun look so cluttered. GUI v5 looks better though.
gps acquisition time seems better on v4

o ya...
TS can also pin the multiple map thingy on garmin...
could be most useful to all!
