I have a white, 64GB N9 purchased from Jordan. PR1.3 (40.2012.21-3_PR_006)

Through Wifi and a 3g data connection, the Maps and location function just fine. Without any data, and being completely offline, the internal GPS is nowhere to be found. I have tried using GPSMeeFo and it has never been able to find a single satellite.

When I go into the settings, this is where I believe the issue lies.

Settings-->Device-->GPS and Positioning

The last option, which is "GPS Device" will ONLY give me the option of "External GPS Device." That is the only available selection from the dropdown menu.


Because I am currently without a data plan, what are my options for actually using the INTERNAL Gps of the device?

Thanks in advance
I'd say there are just 2 possibilities:

1.) You have some problem in the device SW/FW, which makes it unable to use the GPS. A reflash might help in this case.

2.) Your GPS HW is damaged and so system does not recognize it, removing the option from the menus. Nothing to do here except send the device for repair.
