BB Bold9700 on OS6 and GPS

Hello all,
So I updated my BB9700 to OS6 and noticed that GPS will not work on any apps. So I investigated and GPS is turned ON, but the info hasn't been updated since 3/7/2011. I turned the server back off and on and still nothing on the screen changes and GPS still doesn't seem to be working.
Any ideas?

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

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network.

I downloaded os6, and all of my apps disappeared. Is there a way to get them back?

I downloaded os6 and when it was finished, any apps that I had downloaded were gone. I went to the appstore to re-download them but found that I only have the opton to "open" them. So basically if I want to use any apps I have to go into passbook, then the app store, then find it on the list of downloaded apps, THEN I can use it. It's really inconvenient compared to being able to just press a button on my main screen as before. Is there a way I can get them all back or am I stuck using them like this? I definitely would never have downloaded os6 if I knew it was going to be so stupid.

There is no trash.
The videos are gone, unless a restore from backup can retrieve them.

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

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.

Time and GPS data windows

Hello all
I was presented this sample 1080 frame and was asked if I can do this if time and GPS metadata were part of the video recording. In other words, how do you burn in this data in the video itself. I have P Pro CS 6 @ home and am a complete novice to video editing. Final product may or may not need this, more curious as to how its done - special camera system or in post processing?
Thanks!

If whoever shot the video recorded time of day timecode synced from a GPS receiver that was close to the camera (in your case that looks like it would mean mounted in the helicopter), you can use the time code data to match your GPS metadata to the video. I use an automated process to incorporate the the metadata into the video, but the process is all done with custom software that the CEO of our company wrote. The other people I've seen incorporating GPS metadata into video are also using customized, proprietary processes. If you're adding the data in post, you will have to translate the data into Premiere titles or After Effects text keyframes or something else that you can overlay on the video.
You can also use hardware during your shoot to overlay the GPS data onto the video. I don't use any products that do this, and I don't know how easy they are to find for purchase, but there definitely are people in the geospatial sector who feed video through a GPS-aware piece of video processing hardware that overlays time and position data in real time. In this case you would feed video (most likely through HD-SDI) from your camera to the GPS overlay hardware and then to a recorder.
There certainly aren't any GPS features built into Premiere Pro. If you want to add titles manually, you'll have to match the time code with your GPS data and make a new title each time the GPS info is supposed to update. GPS data is usually some form of table or spreadsheet with time, coordinates, and other positional data, so you can find the correct time in the video and make a title that includes the corresponding coordinates for that time. If you're doing this for more than a few seconds of video, it will be an unreasonably long and tedious process, but it is possible.

Video and GPS data from iPhone movie?

Hi, I have following problem/ idea for a solution: I lost the canopy of by model airplane during a flight in a wheat field. Now I am looking for a solution to find it: what about a video camera and a GPS device, flying over the field, recording video and GPS data, play back video and (hopefully) find the canopy at frame xyz. Then read out the GPS position at this frame and go back in the field to the GPS coordinates and find what I lost.
So the questions are:
1. are the Video recordings stamped (?) with a continuous GPS position
2. can this data be read out
3. is there an app that can do this
4. is this the correct forum for this question?
Thanks for any ideas
BTW: I already tried to order a new canopy, no luck...

Let me get this straight... You lost the canopy for your model airplane... Now you want to strap your iPhone to another model airplane and fly it all over in the area where you lost the canopy.
Piece of advice: Make sure you set up find my iPhone on it before you send it out on its mission. you may need it, in combination with its ability to emit an alarm when triggered remotely, to find the iPhone after it falls off the search plane.
With luck, the fallen iPhone will land near the canopy you seek.
To try and answer the questions:
1. I believe the entire recording gets 1 location coded in the metadata. It is not a continuous stream of location data.
2. Not relevant based on the answer to 1.
3. I seriously doubt it, but I won't be shocked if someone has come up with something among the half million or so apps out there.
4. I don't think there is a correct forum for this, but this works as well as any.

No or bad Bluetooth and GPS with my iPhone 3GS.

Hi all,
I have serious Problems using either GPS and Bluetooth with my iPhone 3GS. First I recognized that my Bluetooth headset was not working as before. For example the connection is dropped quite often and The quality is really bad.
Second I found that the GPS signal is such Bad that no APP like runkeeper or Nike+ can work with it.
Strange is that everything is working well after a reset to factory defaults using iTunes. But both BT and GPS are only working As designed for about 12 to 18 houers. After that timeframe The Device has to Be reseted with iTunes again :-(
Snce everything was working fine a few weeks ago, I guess it has to do somezhing with the latest firmeware.
BTW: The headset IS working fine with other devices and the googlemaps app, included in the iOS is showing a GPS signal (20 to 50 m radius)
Any help is welcome. Please respond to [email protected], thanks!

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.

HT201210 updating to os6 and iphone 4 is locked up and down loaded new itunes still no go

Decided to update my Iphone 4 to os6 and it locked up. installed new itunes, and did all the usual stuff but I cant even reboot the phone holding down the on off and big button at the same time. The phone is showing a pic saying plug into itunes which down loads 0s6 (81 min) then fails and ask to down load os6 again over and over.

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Push notifications and GPS not working on wifi - please help

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4 with at&t (US) and latest iOS. but I am outside the US for a month and I have put the phone in airplane mode so that I don't receive phone calls or texts (I can choose not to answer phone calls but apparently I will receive the texts no matter what unless I put it in airplane mode)
But I still use the iphone for everything else. I have the wi-fi on and I have my own wi-fi network where I'm staying.
but i'm having problems:
1. I do not get any push notifications on my iphone. I have not modified much from the default wifi router settings. all i have done is set a WPA TKIP password. all the other settings are the default. no port filter or firewalls on the router as far as i can see.
2. google maps is not able to pinpoint my location. I can see the maps fine. but when i hit the button to locate my position, it tries for a while and then says "cannot determine location".
3. after a while with the iphone in 'sleep mode' (i.e. the screen is off - the phone is not off), when I turn the screen back on and try the use the iphone with the wifi, the internet no longer works although it shows that it is connected to the wifi network. then I have to go to the settings on my iphone for the wifi network and hit 'renew lease' for the internet to work again on my iphone. this is really annoying....
.. and *I do not have any of these problems when I'm on anyone else's wifi network*. so, I'm guessing this has something to do with my personal wifi connection at home.
can someone help me figure this out?
the wi-fi router is an Aztech HW550-3G. and the broadband connection is from a WiMax internet modem.
here are some of the screens from the wifi config page

thanks!

Your problem is there is no record of where your base station is. Since you have airplane mode on your phone cannot use the gps receiver or the mobile network to pinpoint the location. For the location of the base station to be known it needs to be recorded in a database on the internet.
Instead of turning on airplane mode, remove the SIM from the iPhone. With airplane off and no SIM you will be able to use GPS but not make or receive phone calls and text. It may also update the location database with your base station location, but I cannot confirm it.

Yoga 10 wifi and GPS problem

Hi Community,
I bough a few days ago a YOGA-10 tablet (system data below).
I'm facing two problems :
a) My wireless is very poor. I'm often out of wifi coverage and everyone around, with other devices, work fine.
b) I need the Yoga-10 to test GPS based apps.
However GPS is failing too often.
I also use MobiWIA GPS Status & Toolbox app and, in a 50km's trip with my Yoga in the front seat, I get 0 satelites fixed (although 10-11 visible) on 80% of the time (all other devices get 100% coverage).
Any suggestion ?
Btw, as far as I understand, Yoga-1 does not support Glonass satellites, right ?
Thank you in advance
Solved!

Compass and gps not working correctly

pre-ordered my iphone4 on the 15 of June it arrived on the 24!The next morning, I tried to get my location on the map app and it could not produce my location. also the compass app is constantly telling me to wave the phone in a figure 8. Anyone else having this issue ?

Having the same flaky issue. 90-100 degrees off. It seems to only happen while in the interior of a vehicle, moving or not. Being that this is the most likely location one would use the compass telemetry of the phone, it should most certainly would have been designed to work in this environment. Stepping outside the vehicle seems to return the compass to normal and fairly accurate operation. I have used the built in compass functionality with several different GPS apps, both Apple original software and 3rd party software with the same unreliable performance. I too frequently get the 'figure-8' notification citing interference. I have performed the calibration several times outside the vehicle to no avail.
