zeus, 10 Dec 2009thanks mate,
sad to say that everytime i try to do that ... moreIf you want GPS. Get a better phone. I have 3 GPS enabled phones. This one is the worse. It takes a long time to get a fix. Then it works fine!.
When the Z750 takes 5 minutes to get a GPS fix, my O2 XDA zest can do it in 3 minutes and do it more often. My t-mobile pulse can do it from 2 seconds( ideal conditions) to 45 seconds(In terrible weather) And has always pinpointed me!

zeus, 09 Dec 2009yeah i got that mate,
i got the status and the "target" lo... moreIt should show several satellites moving about. Eventually the "searching" should change to "connected". The other blank screen will have a horizontal line across it. If the built in Google maps works, press back and go into google maps. On my phone the google maps crashes out with an error.
Otherwise Minimise the GPS application by pressing button on the left which says "Minim".
This leaves GPS running in the background. Now start running any sat-nav program you have on the phone and it hope it finds the GPS data.
You should be able to download sat-nav programs from the net. And running the program should automatically connect you to the net.
Good luck!

zeus, 08 Dec 2009how do i use the gps????To the use the GPS. Please read the manual. Or, from the main menu choose location services (represented by a satellite), click on status info. And it tries to find your GPS position, here we can move between two screens, one is "current activity" the other is connection status, it shows searching or connected. When connected, minimise this application and load your mapping software. Then HOPE that the navigation software will find the GPS!

Yes! This phone has GPS sensor built in.
But, out of my three GPS phones that i,ve owned the Sony Z750 GPS is the worst!
A GPS lock depends on where you are, indoors, outdoors, under trees, whether you moving or standing still. And most importatantly the atmospheric weather conditions!
Under good! conditions the Z750 can get a GPS lock in about 5 minutes. Under not so good conditions, forget it!
My O2 zest, made by ASUS can get a GPS lock in halve the time, twice as often.
My T-mobile Pulse, made by Huawei, can Get a GPS lock from 2 seconds to 20 seconds in awful weather indoors.
Compared to other phones the Sony GPS is so crap to be almost useless!

Stacey, 18 Nov 2009I absolutely hate this phone!!! It didnt work well for a fu... morei agree 100% i havent even had the phone a full year and i had to send it back 4 months after purchasing it for a new one and 2 months after that the one they sent me had the same problems. the phone shuts off at will, freezes up nonstop and then the text messaging just completely stops working. avoid this phone at all costs it is nothing but a headache and i wish i never bought it!

I absolutely hate this phone!!! It didnt work well for a full year. The phone consistently turns itself off. The only way to turn it back on is by taking the battery out and putting it back in. Sometimes by holding the on button. The volune goes out from time to time. It freezes up on you.Its just a total mess!Sony, boo to you. This was not a quality phone at all.

bee, 13 Oct 2009noI have this phone and i have flashed it back to sony ericsson firmware, even before i did it had and still has aGPS, this can be found in the location services part of the main menu.
If your z750i doesn't have this all i can assume is your operator software has it disabled. i cannot speak for the z750a but as far as i understand it is exactly the same just for a different country.
Hope this answers your question about aGPS, which only differs from normal GPS in that it is assisted by information provided by mobile transmisson sites.
