Help Two TB questions

[wallstreet123456]

1. When I open the browser it never seems to know where I am, says, "location unavailable" never had this issue with my original Droid.

2. I used to be able to get on my company website using something called sonic wall via my browser with my Mororola Droid, not it says I need active X but it does not tell me how to get it.

Any thought on what I need to do for these two issues?

1. Make sure you have location on Settings>Location. Also when you first load up the google page there is a popup you have to say yes to, if you say no it wont let google get your location. Under the browser settings Go to clear location access and reload the google page. It will ask you again.

2.ActiveX is an MS browser thing, wont work on android. You may want to set that page to send the browser ID as a full browser vs a mobile browser. I think its in browser settings somewhere...

I can probably help you with the first issue...

I'm pretty sure when the phone ships, all of the location settings are NOT enabled.

Menu -> Settings -> Location

Turn on:
-VZW location services
-Google location services
-Standalone GPS

VZW location services: Uses cell towers to get general location
Google location services: Uses wireless networks to get general location, but more accurate than using cell towers
Standalone GPS: Uses GPS antenna to get position. Accurate up to a couple meters (outside of course). You may have problems getting a lock in certain buildings.

When I open google I always get the "location unavailable" message.
I have all the following boxes checked
VZX location service
Standalone GPS Services
Google location Services.
Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?

Try what I said for the browser.
