the only code i know *#*#4636#*#* doesn't give you these options so i don't know. are you having problems with your gps? afaik the aria doesnt need a fix.

I tried to access the menu with the code they provided but it didnt do anything on my Aria. Only code that works so far is the one ryan92084 just provided above. My GPS is rather slow to find my location sometimes. I usually keep it off anyway just to save batter life.

Unless something is using it, the GPS does not use any battery.. Do you see the GPS icon in your notification bar?

@khaytsus - No I dont have the icon at the top because I turn the GPS off unless I need it for something. I get what your saying about the batter life not being used if no program is accessing it, but doesnt the phone always keep track of where you are for if the GPS is on? I dont know how that works, but it doesnt really matter. I usually know where I am, I only use Google Maps to see where Im going. Hahaha.
