Does anyone has GPS problem?

In the past two weeks, my droid charge GPS took very long time to lock its location:  During the first 8-10 miles driving, it looks like the GPS was disoriented, the pointer jumping around with a light blue shaded area around it. For a few moments yesterday, it even showed I was dring on a Altantic City street when I was actually driving on a highway in Maryland few hundred miles away.

GPS issues yes I have them. Arrow points the wrong way and takes a while to lock on an accurate location. 
Mine was doing the same. I turned off the Verizon Location service and all is good now.  The VZW location service was showing my location at the cell tower and not where I actually was.
Thanks for that tid bit of info.  I do not have problems with GPS but I live in a weak signal area and use a Wilson repeater here in the house that uses and outside directional antenna.  My problem has been where to aim the antenna.  I have several apps that show what tower I am connected to but I did not believe them because when I drive to the tower location my signal does not get much stronger than it is at home.  There is another tower that I can drive too a mile or so away from the indicated tower where my signal gets to -67 dbm.  I have always aimed at that tower.
I just did this trick of yours with the Verizon location on and sure enough the blue arrow in Maps sat right on the tower location indicated by the other apps until I got gps lock.  After I unchecked it, the blue arrow was still at the tower location, but the gps lock was a few seconds quicker.

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

  • IPad 3 4g LTE works On/off, ATT network, last 4 days, does anyone has same problem I am in Houston, TX area?

    Brand new ipad3 wife+LTE, Apple store swap it once and ATT store changed sim card twice, still having problems with Internet, websites dont load, if they load then thet take me no where. ATT tech support could not figure out last night. Anybody has same problem?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • Does anyone has had problems with cracks and damage to the trackpad?

    is my first time with apple. I expected more quality, but my computer has presented cracks in several parts so inexplicable and never dropped, besides the Trackpad does not work well. I am disappointed

    Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

  • DOES ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAN NOISE LIKE A METAL BEARING

    I want to know if there is a problem with some of you that have a 20 inch early Imac I got this imac last june and now I begin to hear a hizzing noise like if it was a fan bearing or something.

    The drive is in the area where the vent grill is above the plug. There is a very low level disk "activation" noise (sort of a faint ticking type of sound) whilst it is working but then stops, where as the fans again very low noise can be heard all of the time - just. I sit about 650 to 700mm from the machine.
    The drive is only a manmade item and occasionally one will start to fail early in life. Today is unlike the old days where a vari-speed floppy drive could need changing every month if worked in a commercial environment and a hard drive wasn't much better.

  • Does anyone has problem with the Glossary tab in RB8?

    The glossary tab does'nt show on *CHM file. Does anyone has that problem?
    1) Install RH8 on XP SP2 and register hhactivex.dll
    2) Start RH8
    3) Create new project.
    4) Click on '+' sign of Glossary from Project Manager to expand it and double click the Glossary(Default) to show the GLossary Pod.
    5) Type 'First' in the Term input field on the Glossary Pod, and click the + button to add it.
    6) Go to the 'Definition for :first section of the Pod and type in 'First'
    7) Save and generate the CHM file
    This is the first time I create a new project in RH8 with Glossary.
    If I import a previous project created with RoboHelp for Office X4 which has Glossary, and convert project to RH8 format and generate the CHM file, then the CHM file has the Glossary tab.
    I can't possibly beleive it is a bug in RH8 . However, what mistake did I make?
    This happens on XP SP2, RH 8.0.0.0.203, on XP SP3 with RH 8.0.2.208, on Win7 with RH 8.0.2.208. Basically, it doesn't matter on what PC we install RH8, doesn't matter how many time you register hhactivex.dll, the glossary tab never shows up. Howver, it shoes up on Winhelp.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    No, I don't believe they are ameteurs. Besides, some ameteurs do better work than "professionals".
    To be fair, some bugs are elusive. We may see them and report them but when the development team examines things they repeatedly and stubbornly fail to reveal themselves.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones but it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • IPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them

    iPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them. Signal is strong and call quality (me hearing the other) is still very good but it looks as if I’m going on mute while I’m not muting my iPhone. When dropping the call and re-dialing it works fine again. It’s a brand new iPhone 5S but it now happened already 4 or 5 times in 2 days.
    It feels like a hardware/iOS problem and not a network issue. It happend with iOS7.03 but I just see 7.0.4 is available so will install that one now.
    Thanks in advance for feedback
    Best regards,

    Hello Jeff,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the audio on your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if the audio on my iPhone was not working unless using speaker phone.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I have just updated to Yosemite, but now I can't get the custom shortkeys to work. In Mavericks I had no problem whatsoever, but now even after googeling and restart no solution. Does anyone have the problem? All the other shortcuts work!

    Hi Thomas,
    I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
    Thanks for identifying this issue!
    In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
    Cheers,
    Alex

  • After upgrading to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 all the library icons are shown plain. Does anyone has a hint?

    After upgrading to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 all the library icons are shown plain. Does anyone has a hint?

    If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.
