AT305 and GPS function

Ok...so no JB planned or announced from Toshiba. Now I tried to use the GPS in the car and error says "needs data connection". My Nexus7 did not do that. I thought this thing has GPS HW built in. Read somewhere that I need to download maps into it...OKKK..then what? how will it know where the heck I am. This is not looking good unfortunately. I love the size and feel of this tablet and want to keep it.
(+) size, weigth, screen, slots, SD up to 128G, speed, functionalities...
(-) power connection, cord, GPS?, slippery backcover
Beats iPad hands-over-feet for me.

The issue you are having is not a lack of GPS in the AT305. (Assuming you haven't turned off the GPS.) It's that the map data necessary to show where the GPS fix would be on a map has to get into the thing somehow.
See http://www.androidcentral.com/google-maps-updated-offline-caching for some more information about how you can cache the map data when you are online for use when you are offline.

Nokia 6110 and GPS function

I am new to the concept of GPS, and i assumed when i bought this phone that using the GPS was as simple as turning it on and requesting the location you want.
How do I get the GPS to work? I go into the GPS menu and it starts "Getting position...", but i wait and nothing happens. It can never find my position. And I live in Sydney, so it cant be bad reception. Are there any settings I need to instal or download?
Also, what is the Route 66 CD for? I tried to use that and it couldnt detect my phone?

first of all, lets begin with the basics. GPS is a signal that is send by many satellites to locate you. so if you are in a building, you will probably not get any satellite signal. so go outside and wait a few minutes. usually satellites send their position-signal each 30seconds to a few minutes, and your mobile phone has to calculate its place after it got those signals. the update about your position is then easier, it doesnt take 30 seconds to update your position, but it is contionuously.
sometimes it may be possible, that you got problems in cities with huge skyscrapers, that you dont get a signal or just sometimes in those places. that is normal (also no fault of the nokia 6110 navigator). the satellite signals simply dont get through the skyscrapers (you need a last 3 satellites with a good signal to get your GPS working).
the nokia 6110 navigator therefore got A-GPS (that you can also disable). Advantages: the location of yor place is easier and much faster as it gets the information at the beginning from the mobile phone antennas. however it needs therefore a short GPRS-connection (about 5 kb transfer), that might cost depending on your mobile phone provider.
so if you want to try that, enable it in your mobile phone settings (read the manual therefore, network based location method!), and enable it in nokia navigator-program. or disable it in both.
second, about your other problem. route 66 sync software detects your mobile phone, if you use the nokia usb cable provided with the mobile phone (even if other cables also fit, it doesnt work). also you have to install nokia pc suite and isntall the needed usb drivers. and last of all, you have to set your mobile phone to data transfer mode, and not to pc sync mode, to connect it in route 66 sync software!

Does DPS have GPS functionality? If not do they plan to add it and when?

Here is the sdk.. https://developers.google.com/maps/. Or do a search on stackoverflow.com and people have some examples of how to use it.

IOS4 and GPS Errors

I live on the Mississippi and for the last week the GPS function on my iPhone 3G - upgraded to iOS4 - and my new iPhone 4 puts my location in Fort Walton Beach, FL instead of Diamondhead, MS. The same error occurs when I'm at work at Stennis Space Center.
Interestingly, my bosses iPhone 3GS that hasn't been upgraded to iOS4, and my iPad, both properly indicate my location. Friends and colleagues with phones upgraded to iOS4 are all in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
What gives? I know the GPS is assisted in determining location by local cell towers, but it seems that iOS4 is not verifying the location using the GPS chip.
This really ***, as all location-aware applications are now hosed.

Quick update for everyone. I got fed up with the no gps issue and ended up going to the apple store. The genius gave me a replacement phone and gps seemed to work fine on the replacement, but the touchscreen had issues. I then returned that replacement and got a second replacement which is having the same GPS inaccuracy as my original phone. This is obviously a software bug with ios4 that apple has yet to address. Frankly I am tired of apples lack of quality control in their recent products and will be looking for an alternative as soon as my contract with AT&T expires. What a shame.

Question about the GPS function

I have just got my iPhone 3G, but still need to wait a couple of days to
get my mobile number transferred.
My question is: i don't have at the moment any mobile services from my provider.
(No Service) I do have a WLAN connection. Should my GPS function in Google Maps still work? At the moment the icon is only spinning spinning and spinning....

Thanks All!
I turned it off and on again. waited a couple seconds outside (in the rain )
And it is working great. 100% accurate
Thanks Again.

Lenovo Helix GPS functionality

Hey there.
First of all, I have to say the ThinkPad Helix seems to be a pretty awesome piece of kit, however I seem to be having a few issues with the GPS functionality.
I have had a look on the forums however I haven't been able to find any specific information as to the problem that I am having.
The Helix I have is the version with the Ericsson C5621gw 3G network adaptor. From what I understand you have two different types of GPS - standard, and assisted (which uses Wi-Fi/network triangulation to report a semi-accurate location). As far as I am aware, the C5621gw uses standard GPS, however I have been unable to get any GPS to work, even within the Bing Maps app.
When opening Bing Maps as an example, it constantly reports the location as being in London, even when I'm the other side of the country. When the Wi-Fi is connected there is little issue, however when using the 3G the location is always way off to the point of being unusable. I know that the GPS is built in through the network card, and that COM ports aren't used within Windows 8, as it uses a separate geolocation stack to report information based on the Windows Location Provider.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening? If the C5621gw only uses assisted GPS based on mobile network location then I guess there is very little that can be done, as this may be a network dependent feature, however if it does use standard GPS then something is clearly wrong. I have location enabled within the OS, and all the drivers are installed as they should be. I have listed the drivers installed below.
On a different note, I also have an issue with the BIOS as well. When tapping to enter the BIOS before Windows starts, it automatically goes straight onto a blue screen and restarts itself. The BIOS has been updated, and I am using the stock OS that came with the device.
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated
Nukey

Have disabled Windows location Provider, and went outside and waited for about 10 minutes. GPS did not appear to connect. Maps app does not respond when I try to go to 'my location'. Also installed a Win8 app called 'GPS Satellite' and it showed that the GPS was 'initialising' and would not find a location.
Then installed Visual Studio 2012 and the WDK so that I could run the Sensor Diagnostic Tool. I observe that the C5621 chip is staying in the 'initialising' state and doesn't seem to get out of that.
However, if I re-enable the windows location provider, then I see that:
- Maps now finds a location, albeit the wrong location
- GPS Satellite app now finds a location, same wrong location
- The sensor diagnostic tool still says 'Initialising'. Huh?
So I'm wondering if I'm looking at the right fields in the Diagnostic tool. Either I'm looking at the wrong thing, or the GPS is just not working.
Can you please take a look at the screenshot of Sensor Diag tool and tell me if the red circled field is what I should be looking at?
thanks

Iphone 3G GPS function

Hi,
Has anyone recently been having trouble with their Map App? The GPS function do not track me accurately... I could be 2 blocks away or 20 blocks away. It also does not smoothly track my position either, all over the map. Plus the range for the potential position is large as well. My area has great cell phone coverage, so GPS shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone else with this issue? Is there a fix to this?

I am having a similar issue with my 3GS.
The map app runs very slow, when loading my current location, trying to find a new address or getting directions between address. This happens on wifi or 3G network.
Also the map app has 'lost' it's accuracy to the location. Usually it is with in a 2 or 3 block radius, but on the old operating system it was much more accurate and quick.
I upgraded to iSO4 and had issues at first with the lost connection, and i got the error message to re-calibrate in a figure 8 motion. I re-synced last night to solve the 'fuzzy pictures' issue and now the map app is just slow.
Any one have a solution. Should I back up and restore. Advice???

Sony A6000 and GPS

Will Sony release a new model from A6000 with GPS !? I really would like to have this feature in the camera directly instead of using the mobile phones to sync the GPS coordinations. Zein

I would agree David. While I am sure that the GPS function is a "must have" feature for some, it is not of importance for others. Sony likely had to make a decision on which feature they felt would be more important to the greater number of buyers. In todays cell phone era of photography, with instant sharing to social media being all the rage, I am sure Sony felt that WiFi and NFC would be a hotter feature than GPS. I have an older Sony Cybershot model with GPS, and frankly never used it. It is a drain on the cameras battery. I found that there are better alternative for tagging photos in Lightroom. Some smart phone based such as GeoTag Photos and gps4cam, others hardware based. Lightroom has the ability to read .gpx tracks from handheld GPS units and gps loggers. These will last all day without draining the cameras battery. I am sure the lack of GPS is a deal breaker for some, others will appreciate the WiFi and NFC and work around the GPS. It is all in what compromises you can best live with.

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Problem with tpcall and tpgetrply functions

Hi,
I have a problem with tpcall() and tpgetrply() functions.
In this example (invoke tpcall()):
FBFR32 *buf;
FLDLEN32 buflen;
buf = a_buffer.getBuffer(); /* getBuffer() returns FBFR32* */
buflen = a_buffer.getLongitud();
/* at this point: buf == a_buffer.getBuffer() */
if (tpcall(a_contenedor.getServname(),
(char*)a_contenedor.getBufferPeticion()->getBuffer(),
a_contenedor.getBufferPeticion()->getLongitud(),
(char**)&buf,
(long*)&buflen,
0) == -1)
if (tperrno != TPESVCFAIL)
LANZAR_EXCEPCION(CADENA_WHAT_SB,
"Error en funcion Execute(), llamada tpcall()",
tpstrerror(tperrno))
/* at this point: buf != a_buffer.getBuffer() */
tpcall() function change the memory address of buf. What is the problem? Is wrong my code? Is a problem with tuxedo version?
My tuxedo version is:
tmadmin -vINFO: BEA Tuxedo, Version 8.0, 32-bit, Patch Level 306
INFO: Serial #: 650522264137-773290431251, Expiration NONE, Maxusers 150
INFO: Licensed to: Telefonica Moviles Espa?a, S.A.
INFO: 56-bit Encryption Package
Thanks,
ANTONIO.

There's nothing wrong with your code or tuxedo. tpcall (and tpgetrply) can change the address of the return buffer if it needs to allocate more memory to hold the data. This is the reason why you pass a pointer to the buffer as the output buffer parameter to tpcall and tpreturn. Everything is working as expected.

Pinch open and close function not working after upgrade

I'm having trouble with the pinch open and close function on my trackpad. It was working fine until I installed the new Google upgrade and now it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions. The other functions are working fine.

Click on the Apple icon at the top left of the screen. Select "System Preferences", then "Trackpad".
Be sure to select:
"Pinch Open and Close" in the "Two Finger" Menu...

Display Like and Share functionality in SharePoint 2013 search result

Hello Experts,
I dont Know whether i am asking a good question or bad one . but i am not very much expert in search.
I have to display No of Likes , Share functionality in SharePoint Search Results.
i know little basic about how display templates works. i want to implement these like and share functionality as actions in Item_common_hoverpanel_Actions template. show that i can see in preview.
please if any body can help me . i will be highly thankful to you.

This will be difficult. The number of likes has a managed property called LikesCount but it is not populated by the search crawler. So your JavaScript will have to read the "LikesCount" field of the corresponding list item. That would be a
lot of code to execute in the item display template just to display the number of likes. You could have a button that displayed a callout that would get the information and display it. The Sharing could be done via JavaScript in your item display template
using a REST call. You can see an example of code to do that here:

Just remember the user must have permission to share these documents, so your code will have to handle this.
