Hi Shadid, I have tried this on several carriers and devices in the US, here are my results:

GPSInfo.isGPSModeAvailable(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE) returned the following:

Storm running 5.0 on Sprint - false
Tour running 5.0 on Verizon - false
Bold running 5.0 on AT&T - false
Bold 2 running 5.0 on T-Mobile - true

I guess the Verizon results, while disappointing, were expected based on your comments, but not the others.

So, of the 4 major carriers in the US, it appears that only T-Mobile let me use the service. This seems to contradict all the documentation and your comments.

Can you please reconfirm if this GPS-free location service would work on all major US networks like Sprint, AT&T and others (except Verizon) ? I understand you are still working with Verizon on this.

I´ve done it already

The title of the issue is “OS 5.0 Geolocation Services throw UnsupportedOperationException”

Thanks for your assistance!
