A-gps uses normal gsm protocal to receive data, so it is possible, but still unlikely.

@sitnet Thanks but why there are external GPS accessories for Non-GPS phones if it can be enabled on the phone itself?

I am not totally sure, but normal gps protocall is free, a-gps uses gsm which is usually very expensive. Remember gsm means normal internet costs, and gps uses a lot of data.

As I understand it, gps is a part yes (gps module) but assisted gps (a-gps) doesn't need a gps module because it uses the normal gsm receiver all phones with internet has built in. So normal gps would be impossible to add, but a-gps is a possibility.

oh now i got it mate! many thanks for clearing me.
Most of the handsets have got A-GPS like C905, C702 etc. So it can also be enabled on K850i as well.
