Don't be a berk. The A-GPS server is on the Internet not the base station. Therefore it must send the cached satellite data over IP and therefore over a cellular connection. Cellular connections are complex and lossy and therefore require control protocols so the device must transmit. Otherwise, how do you think the device can tell the base station to resend data that was lost? By magic? LOL. it doesn't ask to resend. it waits for the next transmission. Ha Ha Ha. You're really funny. So how did the A-GPS server know to send data to the device in the first place. I know, by magic.... it's not requested. once again, no active cell service is required for agps to work, so it couldn't send anything even if it wanted to. *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** *** WRONG *** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS "An assisted GPS system can address these problems by using external data.

Why have you snipped the link that says A-GPS works over GPRS? because that doesn't change anything. it can go over hspa or lte. Yes, I said that. I said that it doesn't just use GPRS now.

Paying for it later could be worthwhile. My choice is to wait. All too often free, is not free. it's free if you download it in the first year. after that you pay for it, at least based on the current plan. you don't have to install it when you download it. in other words, it's stupid to *not* download it now. you can still wait as long as you want after downloading to install it. When I downloaded it, Windows 10 installed itself, a process which took several hours. At one stage I reverted to Windows 7, which was very quick in comparison. My computer asked me why I was doing this, no doubt so it could tell Microsoft. I'm back on Windows 10 again which I find is far from a settled product and I'm again thinking of going back to Windows 7. At least six times now my computer has experienced l o n g downloads taking between 1 and four hours. Sometimes these happen at night but at least three have happened at about midday (my time). It's not so bad when they happen at night as the first thing I know about it is that in the morning my computer has restarted and I have to log on. But it's a pain in the neck when they happen by day. Once in the middle of the day when I knew my machine was running very slowly, and I couldn't identify any process which might have been responsible, I decided to reboot. Instead of the usual shut down messages my screen turned blue and displayed 'Restarting', complete with spinning balls. After about twenty minutes of this I went and got a book. More than an hour later the machine eventually restarted. Immediately following this, I was trying to use Word Perfect X6 but all I could get was the splash screen. After several attempts I had four splash screens, none of which I could do anything with. I couldn't even remove them from the screen. Nor could I shut them down. At this stage I decided to restart once again. This restart was quick and I only managed to read about ten pages. Thank heavens, everything seemed to be working normally and I had Word Perfect back again. I'm not surprised that Microsoft is giving Windows 10 away: it still seems to be in a beta phase and is changing every few days. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

What, you think you can register with a cellular network without sending authentication. LOL. What do you think the SIM card is there for? more importantly, there is no tracking information even if there was a request for ephemeris. i have an ipad with a gps and cellular radio but the cellular radio has never been activated *ever*, yet it gets a gps fix almost instantly, and in an area where there is no wifi. explain that one. how can it send a request when there's no active service plan? Oh! gosh, I dunno. Can you send and receive MMS on your phone. If so that uses GSM for the link and tada at least GPRS to download the piccy.. so you see maybe your provider lets A-GPS through. I have a 3 SIM card. I haven't paid for data on it for years. If I connect using it it will register and allow me to use http to connect to three.co.uk. No plan, but I get WAN. Get it.
