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.

I have an iPhone 4 on contract and its not working correctly , what should I do ?

I have an iPhone 4 on contract , I only have this 5 and a half months and the iPhone is not working correctly and i do not have insurance .. What should I do ??

It sounds like you did not purchase it at the Apple store? That doesn't matter - you can still take it to Apple to troubleshoot it.
You can also try to troubleshoot it with the help of the folks here - if you want to do that, let me know and I'll ask that your post be moved to the iPhone forum where you're more likely to get knowledgeable answers, ok.

T42p vista fn + f3 and fn + f4 functions (turn off screen and sleep) not working correctly

Hi -- I recently installed windows vista on my T42p. It works fine except that the fn+f3 and fn+f4 functions do not work as expected. Before installing the hotkeys driver, the fn+f4 function worked correctly while f3 did not (going to sleep worked, turning the monitor off did not). I then installed the recommended hotkeys driver. Now fn+f4 makes the monitor turn off while f3 does nothing ... fn+f4 is supposed to put the laptop to sleep. On top of this, if i select "sleep" from the start menu, the computer turns the monitor off instead of going to sleep.
Presumably, the sleep button could still be telling the computer to go to sleep, but the actual operation of going to sleep is now broken? Just a guess. Anyways -- anyone know how to resolve this so that fn+f3 turns my monitor off and fn+f4 puts my computer to sleep?

I've too this problem, but more, my sound mute wasn't worked (for deblock, but it can block it few second before...) 5 days in 5-6 instalation of three version of winxp: winxp ru x64 sp2, winxp es/ru sp3 x32.
eventually I've found and ran "TPOSDSVC.exe" in instalation directory and it give an opportunity deblocking the sound volume!!!!!!!!!!!! and I don't need more functions
volume levels and brightness adjustment worked well without OSD (before I ran TPOSDSVC.exe) and with OSD.
and now I don't know worked this bustered sound driver in winxp x64.

Time change for daylight savings and Alarms not working correctly

we have 3 iPhones in our house. 2 were set to auto time change for daylight saving and one wasn't. 1 did the auto time change with out an issue and all alarms worked ok. The other 2 have had issues with not been able to set the alarms ie set alarm for 0630 and it goes off at 0530 even though the time is set correctly. The 1 that was set to autotime worked fine until I switch auto time off, now the alarms on this one wont work either. well they work but just at the wrong time. The 3rd phone will allow alarms to be set, but the alarm will go off an hour earlier and this phone will not allow the alarm to be set for 0630 at all.
Has anyone had this issue and resolved it. It makes getting up for shift work a right pain..

VZ Navigator and GPS Not working in East Texas

My phone and my wifes phone (both TB) are experiencing the gps outage in East Texas.
We live in Henderson, TX which geographically lies between Tyler and Carthage.
I have called Verizon repeatedly with little to no help so far. I have been told by customer support many times that Verizon does not support 3rd party gps apps like Google Maps or My Tracks; however, I'm not able to get VZ Navigator to work either.
After calling customer support and being reminded that they do not provide support for Google maps, the rep asked if I was able to use VZ Navigator. I quickly installed VZ Navigator while trying to communicate the real issues at work in our area of
Texas. Once VZ Navigator was installed, (yes, I agreed to the $10 per month) I opened the app to discover all the same issues. VZ Navigator doesn't get a gps fix. It just says, "Updating location..." and when you try to navigate to any destination from your current location, it says "Getting GPS..." until it returns with an error message. The error message reads "VZ Navigation is having trouble finding your current position. Please try again. (1001)
Once the 2nd level tech verified that I actually installed VZ Navigator and that was not able to make it work, she notated all I had to say about the gps issues and escalated the open ticket to a higher level engineer. She said I should get a call
tomorrow (05-16-2011).
She said the key to getting the issue escalated was VZ Navigator. It's not free. It's a Verizon product. She also stated that I can
stop the service once the issue is resolved. I encourage everyone living in East Texas with this issue to do the same. It's worth a shot!
I will keep everyone informed of my progress (or lack of) as time passes.
If anyone has a solution to the GPS outage in East Texas please post a reply.

Please help!

I have always thought this was a GPS issue.. but i only use the free apps..    i complained enough to get 2 months credit for VZ Navigator..   guess what..   it uses the same gps chip in the phone and it doesn't work either. supprise supprise supprise.
How many weeks does it take?
As for Google updating a database..    in airplane mode, GPS still works...   or used to.. ...   i have done it many times.
Why does Google have to update something that works in airplane mode when all the transmitters in the phone are turned off? makes no sense at all..
fix your service or credit me something for the services you are not providing till you get them fixed!!!
It's been weeks and weeks and weeks guys..   COME ON!!!!

i formated my phone manytimes and i used nokia software update and still no solution for me
Solved!

Now, you have old cities/qf on your phone because you started with Maps 2.0 which used incompatible map data. Please, on your phone delete the folder cities and the file qf. These are in the at the start (root directory) of your storage. Then on your phone, open Maps and browse a bit around. That re-creates cities/qf. Now try the Nokia Suite again. Does it show the countries? Good. Now it should work. If not, please, report.

I had the previous PC Suite.
Now that webpage make sense. The button in the PC Suite links to the Nokia Map Loader. Anyway, nowadays one should use the Map Loader of the Nokia Suite because it supports very large maps.

IPhone 5s GPS not working correctly

GPS on my iPhone 5s does not work properly with the cover. I have the cover from apple itself. Does anyone else have the same problem ? If yes , what needs to be done ??

Inside it cannot possible get a GPS signal to receive, so no coordinates. If your iPhone 4 has previously been used outside where it could get a decent GPS signal, then it is simply displaying the last known GPS fix. If the store's iPhone 5S has never been used outside, then its initial GPS fix may take several minutes, to locate and lock onto available satellite signals, and then only with a clear and unobstructed view of the open sky.
To answer your basic question, just look at the tech specs for the iPhone 5S - yes, it has a GPS chipset. But to receive signal from the satellites, you'll need to be outside under an open sky. The signals are quite weak and do not penetrate buildings or much of any overhead structure that obstructs the skyview.

Clientless VPN and Java not working correctly

In a recent discovery we found that the newest version of java will not work with our Cisco SSLVPN setup
We are using an ASA5510 with 8.0.4 IOS version and 6.1.3 ADSM version and most users use an mstsc.exe smart tunnel to rdp into our terminal server farm.
Our laptops are being imaged with Java 6 update 3 (this works fine) then upgraded to Java 6 update 11, after which the smart tunnel appears to launch but a connection cannot be established. Reinstalling the older version of Java resolves the problem.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and found a workaround. Currently, company equipment is not being upgraded to the latest version of Java but personal equipment is a different story.

To get the old downloader back follow the directions below.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Filter '''browser.download.useToolkitIT'''.
# Double click and '''make sure it says true.'''
# You now have the classic downloader back! Yay!
Any issues or confused?

PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 Printing Wide Format Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly

Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
the issue can be replicated consistantly......
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
any suggestions?????
cheers elo

Thank You for your suggestions.
I have been printing using PSE for over 14 years going back before the term PSE came up. I have done this professionally using profiles from others and those I generate myself..
All the things you mentioned have been done.
The main point missing in your suggestions is   It is only the first print every time I open up PSE11 that does not work...
at completion of print I immediately go back to the file command and say print and then bypass all settings and print again.   this time and every other print aafter are perfect...      I did not change one single setting...
I know about printer and adobe settings etc.     but thanks for going through the list it was a good reminder of how to remember everything sometimes we rush and forget something...
Finally    It works PSE6, PSE9, PSE10, CS5, Lightroom 4.   I think I have the settings right......
Any suggestions for how to get PSE11 to force the settings for the first print would be appreciated..
Only thing I have not done is upgrade to the latest version of the epson driver. Released less than a month ago to provide support for mountain lion.(iam only on lion) Maybe just maybe???   you never know.   Will try this when I finish by next batch of prints.
I will back up as I do weekly...    Still have the old driver from way back in release 10.5.8   will try to fire up to 10.5.8 and see what happens....

Keyboard and mouse not working correctly after installing Windows 8.1

I was forced to upgrade my computer to Windows 8.1. My keyboard worked fine until the sytem did a reboot. Numbers on keypad stopped typing and letters were being capitalized when the caps lock was off and the numbers across the top will only type the symbol above the numbers.
I looked up this problem and it seems I need to enter UEFI settings and disable Intel XHCI mode. When I get into the UEFI settings I cannot make any selection from the startup menu. Both my keyboard and mouse stop working.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for posting a response. Fortunately, I didn't have to try your solution because the computer resolved itself.

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.

Email counter and connection not working correctly after updates

How do I fix the email counter on my dock bar it shows that I have 214 unread and they have all been read?
Also, my email is constantly asking me to enter my password to establish connection this is after I have been working in email and sending and receiving emails fine. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I did find the problem with the counter. It had to do with my Gmail account not my other email account. I still haven't found the answer to the question of my connections to my email accounts are dropping and need me to enter my password though. I have made sure that the passwords is correct that is entered.

HFR Range from and to - Not working correctly for hierarchies?

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with my below issue relating to ranges in Oracle’s Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio tool.
The issue I’m experiencing is that when I create a report and use the ‘Add Relationship’ -> ‘Range’ option for my month dimension, the correct months are returned as long as the start month and end month are not the same.
In our setup we have 2 month hierarchies, one for the fiscal year (July to June) and another for the calendar year (January to December). The problem that I’m noticing in the report, is that when I enter a range from July to July, that instead of returning July, it returns July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July. My though it that it is looping through both the fiscal and the calendar hierarchies to return the range, instead of only the fiscal hierarchy. Both these hierarchies have the same members, however ordered differently.
Does anyone know of a way to resolve this within HFR?
I noticed that when creating the range, there is an option to ‘select a hierarchy’. At the moment there is only 1 choice ‘ Period’, however I’m curious if I could create and link a hierarchy to the fiscal hierarchy, that this might resolve the problem?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lance

Hi Lance,
IIRC Range uses the first (main) hierarchy - so you'll need to move the Fiscal year one to be first in the outline.
Cheers, Iain

Dreamweaver and Fireworks not working correctly

I am taking a DW8 class. I have MANY photos I want to use
fireworks for. Installed free 30 trial of DW8 and Fireworks from my
books CD. Did what DW8 said in creating web photo. Used Fireworks
BUT when I clicked on the photo to enlarge I got the black box
around it saying I could enlarge it NOT view it like a picture
show. What I want is to have all photos per event show up and then
let people click on the photo to see either that ONE OR ALL but
full screen. What do I need to do? Should I try downloading the 30
trial from this site for both programs instead of the CD from the
DW8 instruction book?

Hi
The software crashes or freezes. Fireworks will only let me save an item twice, after that, I get an error message that tells me I do not have permission to save that item because it is locked, so then have to save into a different folder or directory, crazy.
When trying to uninstall in control panel, will not open the uninstall, think some kind of permission problem.
I may just do a system restore back to how the computer was purchased, then install all programs again............. See if that works first. None of the other programs are doing this; however, just Adobe, so not sure what happened, just started working like this out of the blue.............?
I am going into a long meeting this morning, so can only work on it in the afternoon.
Thanks for replying...........
