Beware XTRA GPS Data charges when roaming

[Guest SheepWorrier]

Just returned from 2 weeks in Barbados and got hit with a £10 data bill for XTRA GPS Data Download charges every 24 hours - ouch! Hurts more because I never even used GPS over there!

Anyone know if there's a way to disable this when roaming? Does the MoDaCo NoData app disable this, btw?

Nodata completely disables GPRS/3G connections, so yeah, it should.

As for a way to disable XTRA, disable it in the Enhanced GPS settings.

DXHK2 and newer give new options on it, instead of only one:

Possibility to download the satmap (XTRA) automatically:

-When wifi or ActiveSync is connected

-When the data expires (it will try to download through 3G/GPRS if enabled and data expires)

And can enable/disable usage of the SNTP server (Enabling it will cause your 3G/GPRS to kick in each time the GPS is initialized).
