Mystery resolved - the problem was with the phone. somehow after I ugraded to android 2.2 my phone's GPS provider stopped working. However I what I really want to share is my experience with the Verizon tech support and Motorola support. well, when I complained that my GPS provider is not working, verizon support asked me why do I need it since I have the wireless network provider enabled. surprised to say the least at this question. so I explained the difference btw what GPS provider would do v/s a network provider. To my amazement, she was not convinced and told me that for me to use the GPS provider, I need first manually enter my location . also I need to manually update my location whenever I move frm one location to the other - can you beleive it ?. this is what u get from a verizon droid support. then adding to the joke, she connected to me to a motorola support who claimed that there is nothing called automatic location finding using the GPS provider . It relies on manual input. so I need to enter my location manually everytime I use it .. my my..
all I could do was to blink in disbelief.. anyway, after a factory reset my phone is able to work with the GPS provider.. thought.. I would update you and share my experience with the verizon/motorola tech support.. thanks Sunny On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 8:54 AM, sunny <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Folks!!, > Looks like reverseGeocode ( getFromLocation()) is not working in android > 2.2.
