LOL, was expecting this question

I never put mobile in any type of cover / pouch.

I wanted to take a photo showing the map and my location. Tried with the camera, but the pic came was not good. So I decided to put the mobile in my cousin's scanner and take a scan instead. He bought the scanner today morning only, and I didn't want to put scratches on it, so placed a plastic cover (actually some magazine CD cover lol) and placed mobile phone over it and scanned !!

Airtel showed scrolling ads instaed of location for 1-2 days last month, but they removed it after that. Yes, some providers put ads instaed of the location info Really sux

I used this service on my BSNL GPRS based K750I, other then "My Location" everything else worked fine. Though it needed to download lots of data so unlimited GPRS or EDGE is a must. I had to pay Rs 12 in just finding my home.

mediator: yeah it is showing ads.

gx: lol ..they already have warned about this that it needs unlimited gprs connection or a heavy wallet.

my W300i is not supported. will try on my friends K550i.

Thats Disgusting. Any info. on how we can change it to defaults i.e location view?

 

[din]

GX, I think BSNL has unlimited GPRS plan, affordable I think. I use Airtel unlimited GPRS/EDGE. Rs.125 per month.

I have tried this after disabling the GPS unit of my AT&T Tilt. This requires an active 3G/HSDPA connection and worked excellently on HSDPA. Didn't try it over GPRS though.
