"unlocking" the GPS chip on Alltel

On Alltel and having an issue getting the GPS to connect? Read this thread on a Blackberry forum:
This may also be the case for Verizon.

There was another post that included this info as well:
urious if anyone has tried downloading Telenav? I have an 8830 with Alltel and I had to download Telenav, purchase a trial subscription, and the first time I logged into Telenav on my BB, GPS started working on all other programs (Google Maps, Blackberry Maps, Berry411). I have since canceled Telenav, but GPS still works.

Telenav offers a 30day free trial. The software is downloaded from
