Don't think my GPS is working.....

Everytime I go into maps, the GPS starts looking but never finds a position [ and yes I am outdoors ] - is there any otyher way to find out whether it's working or not?
Thanks

Hi!
I have the same issue: using a N97 mini, I cannot use my Map appl. Outdoor, clear weather, the map load in, the position gets but only more or less, about 30-100 m accuracy! The bar next to the satelite sign are flashing yellow in the first coloumn. Setting a destination point for routing, the message is " Waiting for GPS". In the Application/Position/GPs data/Option/Satelite status page I can see some satelite has found (or looks like) 6-9 coloumns are there with an empty bar (eg: satelite #9, 12, 15, 17,18,22,26,27,28)
If I leave my phone at the terrace for 30-50 minutes there is no change at all!
N97 mini, bought 2010. 06 . Location is Budapest, Hungary. open and urbanized area but not urban canyon.
Can anyone help on this?
thx & cheers

I have tried to upgrade to the new Version 4. I continue to get the ad asking if I want the new version! I don't think the new version worked. Can you suggest something I might be doing wrong? Thank you.

There is no more content. The new version won't activate on my computer.

Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.

Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???

If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked. How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say: v10.8
If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
FYI .. for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Please con someone help

Although you may have already tried this, I suggest plugging your iPod in to see if its battery has run out. To check your warranty go to apple.com -> support -> contact us -> check your coverage. You probably have one year warranty if you bought this product new from apple.

So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

Have not heard of that but here is what I would do - test after each step to see if the problem is solved
1. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. If that does not work - back up to iTunes and restore to factory settings
3. Check to see if the problem is resolved before restoring from backup

GPS not working all the time, and 3G radio not turning on

Alright,
Here's the situation in a nutshell. I have done extensive trial and errors trying to troubleshoot my own phone. And by the way, I’m on my 4th Incredible. I have come to the conclusion it’s not my phone, at least for now. When I’m in a Verizon area (towers), my GPS works the best. Locks on to signal within seconds. Ok, where i live we have the Alltel towers yet which are being divested to ATT. So, when i bring up the GPS/Nav/Latitude etc, etc. the GPS never locks on and just sits there searching. Now, if i leave a Verizon coverage with my NAV on it works fine all the way home. Next, i turn off my NAV and wait a few seconds or minutes and then turn it back on, i get nothing. There is something wrong with the towers or something where i live. Does the Incredible download the GPS assistance from the towers to better locate the satellites? Also, most of the time if i do a reboot, i have to place my phone into Airplane mode, wait, then turn it off to get my radio to turn on. I was in a Verizon area this past weekend and restarted my phone like 4-5 times and the 3g Radio would turn on no problem. I think I’m getting close to the problem at hand. I just need some assistance from a techy at Verizon. I hope I explained this thoroughly. As everyone knows this screws up all my location apps to show the wrong location.
Thanks

Looky what i found. I found this on another forum that a guy figured out. Verizon, please get a patch for this or a permanent fix. We shouldn't have to do this to make the GPS work. My phone doesn't say i'm roaming, but i do live in an Extended Network.
Here it is:
One way to get a GPS lock when Roaming.
Like some others in this thread, I can track myself with the GPS on the satellite map from home (in Verizon service area) to our cabin in NE Pennsylvania (Extended Network in the white area not covered on the Verizon map). The tracking is accurate. It even follows me down the path to the water. But, when I turn off the map so save battery, I can't obtain a GPS lock when I turn mapping back on. GPS Test sees the satellites, but won't lock. By trial and error, I discovered that if I put the phone in Airplane mode and turn it off, (wait a while), and turn it on while still in Airplane mode (Signal Strength 0dBm - Not Roaming - because it doesn't know that it's in Extended Network with radio off), I can get a GPS lock just as quick as I can at home (in Verizon territory - not roaming) - usually less than minute using GPS Test. Once I have the lock, I can turn Airplane mode off and the map and tracking work perfectly (I have 3G and 1X, to download maps, depending on location), and continue to work until I close the map, at which point I have to do the Shutdown in Airplane mode work around.
Answers in this and other forums as well as Verizon and HTC support are all over the map (no pun intended). Verizon says I need a cell signal to lock while HTC says not necessary at all, and others have various solutions. Clearly, the phone is able to obtain a GPS lock without any cell signal since it locks in Airplane mode. It seems to be some sort of software problem in that IF it thinks the phone is Roaming it must be waiting for some sort of A-GPS signal, and won't lock. Also, it won't work if I simply put in Airplane mode without re-booting because it's still in Roaming status. But when it's booted in Airplane mode and it doesn't know it's in a Roaming area, it relies on the internal GPS to get a lock. (For some reason, I have to leave it off for a while for this to work). So the hardware seems to be working fine.
I got this phone to eliminate the need for a separate GPS, and I have figured out how to use it when out of Verizon's area. But it's ridiculous to have to go through the shutdown in Airplane mode, wait a while, and reboot just to get a GPS lock. If Apple can do it, why can't Verizon? It seems like this would be pretty easy to fix by writing a software patch that uses the standalone GPS if a A-GPS signal is not available. Does anyone know if Google is looking into this? Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get the GPS to work without rebooting while Roaming?

N85 GPS only working if battery cover is open

Hello,
Just bought N85 yesterday, however the GPS is not working if the battery cover is intact. Once I remove the battery cover the GPS works, I even got signal indoor in my room & got GPS locked in few secong only. It seems that the springy pin or whatever you call it at the back of the phone, once push grounded the GPS component thus no GPS signal is received.
Now I didn't recall in the user manual saying, user need to open battery cover for GPS to work.
Did anyone have this issue? hope Nokia can rectify this problem.
Hopefully the circuit shortage wouldn't affect any other components.
Don't know if this help but the barcode no. is 417182909108 thats for you Nokia. I think the whole batch of N85 in the shop where I bought it could be defective, although I haven't check.

hey there.. i haven't seen anything like that on mine and i wouldn't know how to help you. but with all the things wrong with certain n series model, i wouldn't mind having problem. all i got out of this 85 is battery life and the rest is just.. retarded.
peace
Does Nokia have product Beta-Testing nowadays?

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

E71 GPS Stopped Working After 3.03 (10wk11) Instal...

Had I known attempting this Map update would blow out my GPS, I wouldn't have done it.
My current software version in my Straight Talk E71 is 500.21.009. I am a Mac user.
I downloaded this file in hopes of updating my GPS Map software: nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis
I saved that file on my mem card and installed the 3.03 maps onto my E71 using Nokia Multimedia Transfer v1.4.2 for Snow Leopard. I did this over Bluetooth. I power cycled and I cannot use my GPS with full 3G bars. It cannot find "My Position" after driving around town with my E71 searching for hours. I see a red dot in the middle of the screen (now dark screen since it's dark here).
When I go to GPS data on the E71, I see "Searching for GPS satellites", "Calculating GPS data".
When I look at the Satellite Status, I see mostly black bars showing numbers 5, 2, 12, 25, 26 (not sure what this means).
My Positioning Methods/Settings show: Assisted GPS & Integrated GPS checked.
My Positioning Server Access Point show: Tracfone Internet
My Positioning Server Address show: supl.nokia.com
I have also attempted to update my US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader tool only to have it not complete the download. It freezes or crash every time. When it crashes and I force quit, once I restart, I will see a crash log.
I want to also mention that the first time I tried updating the US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader, I believe my maps were deleted.
I have also deleted my CITIES folder and qf file from my memory card, disconnected from Bluetooth, ran Ovi Maps and saw a message that said something was downloading.
I reconnected via Bluetooth then attempted to update maps yet again in the Nokia Map Loader. It now just sits showing "Looking for map data on your phone".
This has been an over 48 hr ordeal.
What is the fix for at least getting my GPS to work again?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
Update:
Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card. I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files". It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card. Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error. Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it. Hopefully it will complete this time.
Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

I've just purchased a new 2014 15" MacBookPro to replace my much missed 17" MBP. I got the works: OS 10.9.4, 2.8GHz Intel i7, 16GB memory and a 1 TB SSD, but despite the expense, I still don't have a computer that works...
The problem is that every time I try to open any program from Office 2011, I immediately get the following window, for example for Word: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." This happens each and every time I try to open Word or other Office 2011 component.
Thinking it might be a licensing issue, I purchased and downloaded a new copy of Office 2011 from Amazon and installed it on my new MBP. Same issue once again.
I tried to remove all copies of Office 2011 from the MBP, but the instructions provided by Microsoft required about three page and seventeen steps and the page was somehow corrupted and would not print in its entirety, nor would it e-mail as anything other than a link to the corrupted page. Not trusting my memory, I decided not to try this without adult supervision.
I used Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions, as described on an existing thread regarding the same problem, but to no avail.
I removed and later replaced the "Microsoft User Data" folder from the Documents folder, but that was no help.
I have copied the short version of the "Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0," below, for those of you with a deeper knowledge of the internal workings, or non-workings of things Mac when crossed with things MS.

Surely others have encountered and solved this same problem, and I'm hoping they can help me do the same. I don't know if this is a known issue or simply a matter of my having bumbled naively through a process far more complex than I was led to believe.

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.

What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

Don't think my GPS is working.....
