1. Turn off "Google Locations Services" (so that just GPS is on)

2. Turn on the Wi-Fi radio - even if you are out of range of any Wi-Fi service.

3. Open the Phone card and type ##477# to get your current location.

1. Go into location services, go to top left menu preferences and turn Google Services off. For this one time only also turn GPS off.

2. Turn off your phone completely (power down) and then remove battery. Give it a few seconds and put battery back on. Battery removal is a MUST as I think doing so completely clears your RAM. (Don't worry your info or data won't go nowhere)

3. Turn your phone on

4. Turn GPS on from Location Services (Don't turn on Google Services, just GPS)

5. Download and run Trapster.
