Fix gps issues after update

Hello all, I have the note 3 and since the update my gps location services have been crazy. I enjoy running with my phone as an mp3 player and like to get my distances this way but after the update it has not been dependable data at all I look at my app when I am done and there are crazy zig zags everywere on my maps, it has even told me I ran through a lake. Is there something I can do to make the gps work like it did before without these crazy zig zags all over the place?

I'm having the same problem on my Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon after updating to kitkat. The gps is useless and gets me lost as it can't keep track of where it is in the city. Out in the boonies on one road sure. But in the city I've had the gps simply just stop working in the stock maps app where my position arrow just wouldn't move and stated I was off road when clearly I wasn't. I had to restart the gps for it to work.
Most of the time though it just loses its position and starts "recalculating" which chooses and new and significantly slower route. I have to cancel the route and then restart it again. Hating this phone currently. My keyboard no matter which one I use is massively inaccurate anymore. The screen is worse than an iPhone accuracy and it wasn't like this when I first got the phone or in the few months after. What suggestions or copy paste responses do you have for us Verizon?

N86 problem with gps after firmware update

J2ME-apps crashes or hangs with external gps after upgrade to firmware 30.009. This worked before the update.
The phone is a N86 RM484 and external GPS is a Globalsat 359.
The apps in question are GC LIve (http://live.geocaching.com/dl) and a homebrewn app.
When using external gps I only have "external gps" activated in "positioning methods". When using internal gps all options EXCEPT external gps are activated.
"OVI Maps", "Google maps" and "GPS status" all work fine with external GPS.
I've tried to reset the phone with three different methods but none fixes the problem. Methods I've tried: *#7780#, *#7370# and the acrobatic 4-button combo.
I'm all out of ideas, and hope someone has a solution. / Richard

Hi again!
I've used ovi suite to reinstall prior to a reset, and also after a reset. It makes no difference to the problem
What would happen if I wiped the entire built in mass storage (E? There's lots of folders and files there that seems to be untouched regardless of reset method. Could it make things worse?
Other ideas very welcome!
I'm not at all interested in demo versions of games that come bundled with this phone and all private stuff is backed up.

After update N95 8gb i got big problems.

I make a backup of all but not the 8gb-memory, and restured all after upate, and everyting seems to work fine.
First problem; i see now i have no 3g 3 (no connection) competely dead, i can not use the phone to communicate.
Strange everything work fine after update yesterday and this morning, something happen when it was in the locker at work.
And now i can't use Maploader, it say i have no memorycard, i understand that problem, i delete the whole Cities-folder this morning, because i dont need Nokia GPS-program Wayfinder anymoore, i choose Nav4all instead, i try the maploader only to for testing, i don't want to download any maps.
I test maploader now only bacause my phone is completely dead in communication, try to find out why.
I check in Nokia Nseries PC Suit everything on PC & mobil are the latest update.
I have another mobile SE M600i with 3g 3-cashcard, i by that cashcard only to enable the phone to start, not for communication, that mobile have full 3g (and probably work fine).
Was it the thing that i delete the Cities-map, no it can't be, because i use the N95 8gb and it work fine after that.
after work i even have a missed call on that mobile, but i can't call back, it's dead in communication now.
Strange things happens now.

Is your phone in another language? You should normally see 2 or 3 options.
1. Dual Mode
2. UMTS
3. GSM
Maybe you could try reseting the phone if nothing else works.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
Try these
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
*#7370# - Reformat your phone

No service after update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5

After updating to iOS 6.1, I can't get service anymore. It comes and goes. My battery went down 40% in an hour. GPS can't get a precise location. Phone is practically unusable! I tried resetting network settings, and then restoring the iPhone, but nothing works. iPhone 5 16GB.
Does anyone know what to do?

IPhone 4S - No Cellular Data Activity After Updating To iOS 8.0.2

My phone is unable to activate and/or use cellular data after updating to iOS 8. I have already installed 8.0.2 which promised to fix these issues; and it has not. Google Maps, Chrome, Safari, iMessage...none of these features work unless connected to WiFi. E-mail does not update and the phone is entirely useless without WiFi (even regular phone calls are sporadic). I am at a time in my life where having constant and reliable access to my e-mail, GPS, text messages and phone calls is vital to my daily life, as well as my future (new job application responses, current job responsibilities, etc.) Can anyone help with these issues? If not, Apple has surely lost a customer. Totally unacceptable.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
Note- I had NONE of these issues prior to the dreadful update.

I'm a developer. I had this problem with my app for about a week until I found the culprit. For reasons the are not clear, my Ajax calls came back with an extra "0" on the return, which threw everything off for my app. This only happened on AT&T. It worked fine with all other providers. I found the solution in Stack and then implemented it. Fixed it for us.
Here is the problem & solution for other developers having the same problem.
The problem is apparently unique to AT&T, and is described below with a proposed solutuion.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25922199/php-appends-0-at-the-end-in-mobile-b rowsers/25923471#25923471
Not sure if this is a result of AT&T throttling, or some other issue unique to them, but I just wanted to make sure other developers were aware of it because my team and I wasted a full week trying to relolve this.

Z10 Location services kaput after update 10.2.1.537

I updated my phone to 10.2.1.537 recently and noticed after that my location services do not work at all anymore. My location services says that it is on under settings but it will not locate me when i open an app. I usually use gasbuddy app and native blackberry maps and when i open the app it shows me where i was last before the update and says that location services are off when they are definitely on since i manually switched it on in the settings. I have tried turning location services off and on many times, restarted my phone hard and soft restart and have done a system restore (due to the picture password malfunction after update the picture password would not let me into my phone after crashing 2 days afer update) much to my dismay since i have downloaded and deleted a bunch of apps since my last backup. I am wondering if this a common problem or is blackberry planning on fixing this or if there are any patches or some tricks of any kind that i can use to make my location services to work again. Definitely not happy with the new OS, thats not to say that they didnt put alot of new exciting features into the new OS but for me this has been awful as i have been without a phone essentially since the update. All help is appreciated, Thanks Mark

Location Services are part of some apps. They may be using the GPS feature as well as the Network to give you a more precise lock on your location. You said you are using gasbuddy app but location won`t work. Are you having this problem with the Blacberry Map? What other apps you have that are using Location Services?

Heavy Battery Drain after updating to 8.1 Lumia Cy...

After updating my Lumia 1520 to 8.1 Cyan update, the battery drain is very high. The battery is lasting only for 6 to 7 hours when the data traffic is on (under mixed use of 2G and 3G modes). I have noticed few other users were also experiencing heavy battery drain after the Cyan update.
Will there be an update to fix this battery drain issue?
When the phone was in WP 8 Lumia Black update, battery backup was around 24-30 hrs (when data traffic was on).
What will be the workaround for this?

Yep, my 1520 battery drains like a helicopter that's lost it's rotor after this 8.1 update.
I was just boasting last weekend how awesome the battery life was on this phone, I drove 300mi with the GPS w/navigation, did some tethering to my laptop for work, went overnight..no charging, used lightly all the next day, few pictures, email, browsing, phone calls, and drove 300mi back on GPS/navigation and I still had 38% battery left.
I updated to 8.1 sunday night, and on my normal commute to a customer in another state, which under 8.0 would have drained oh...mabey 4-5%, I was at 62% by the time I got to this customer yesteday.
All I did was make a phone call, that's it. All background stuff is not allowed. location off, cortana off, ...still drains.
Bad bad bad news. I'm not seeing much usefull ness out of 8.1, and considering the battery life and no real new features....just gimmicks if you ask me, I'm not sure I want to stay at 8.1 . I'm trying to give it a chance...battery life is still better than my POS samsung androids I've had in the past, but knowing how good it really can be...and no real features in 8.1 (I was hopeing they'd fix the imap email not allowed to map sent/trash/inbox issue)....eshh...what a mess it seems.

Droid DNA Problems after Update

After updating this phone to the newest Android OS (4.2.2) I have the following problems:
If in the middle of a call I connect to my cars bluetooth, all sound is lost. It looks like the call is dropped but the phone does not hang up
The camera often crashes and says unable to initialize. This requires a cache clean, force quit and reset.
The sound for games and apps is randomly routed through the earpiece instead of the regular speaker.
These problems only happened after the update. I never had any problems before this update. If no fix is available please advise on the best way to smash this phone. I have considered slamming it into my cars gear shifter. What is your expert opinion?

craigant77 We are sorry to hear that your phone is having issues after the update. You can try basic troubleshooting such as force closing and clearing the cache for the calaendar and backup assitant. As for the battery life, turn off wifi, bluetooth and gps when not in use. If this doesn't help, try a master reset. Keep us posted.

Hoping to take advantage of free navigation, I updated Ovi maps. Not free
Not free as in you still have the old maps ?.Or Not free as you do not have a qualifying product .
/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Top-Questions-for-Ovi-Maps-3-03-The-Free-turn-by-turn-navigation/td-p/61...
My method of installing latest free maps is .
One check your phone is offered free maps both by model and firmware
Two install new maps software .
Three delete old maps its the cities folder .
Four download the new maps via map loader . He map loader normally deletes the old maps before installing the new maps .

HT6154 After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk.

After updating to IOS 7.1 my battery life has gone bezerk. I just finished a 6 minute call with my bank and the battery life went from 93%-23%???? Then i pkugged it into the charger and the battery insicator went right to 48%. Found this article and followed it to the T to no avail.:
Guide to Solving iOS Battery Drain http://iClarified.com/39722
Please I cannot think of a better phone to use, and this is where apple will make or break me.

Please be more specific. What have you tried already? Please follow the below steps as described also in another topic by Nathan.
1. Hard reset hold both buttons until Apple logo appears.
2. Restore from an iTunes sync and backup. This made a difference for a lot of peopel, battery life got much better.
3. Limit push notifications (apps and e-mail accounts - set e.g. e-mail to fetch once an hour) to those you really need.
4. Limit location services to those you really need, and watch to see if the indicator comes up.
5. Get the app System Activity Monitor to look for a runaway process that is using a lot of CPU.
6. Suggestion by others to reset all settings.
7. Suggestion by others that iCloud may be involved, and to try to turn off some iCloud settings.
8. Limit or turn off 'background app refresh'.
9. Add apps back in carefully to identify an offending app that is causing CPU or network activity that kills battery life.
10 Also make sure that e-mail is fetched (e.g. every hour) or set to manual instead of pushed.
11 Do you have a good carrier reception? Have you tried to manual set your carrier within your iPhone instead of the 'automatic'?
12 Have you checked if the timezone is set to manual instead of automatic and see if this makes a difference in battery use?
In my case it was a bug with an app that caused the battery drain. I also noticed that the use and stand-by time were exactly the same which is ofcourse not correct. This was all caused by this app which was using GPS tracking all the time. Unfortunately an app such as System Activity Monitor did not indicate that in my case but someone posted this solution on a Dutch forum that the previous version of the app 'Scoupy' had a bug and caused this battery drain.
If you haven't tried every single one of these, please do not post that battery life is terrible.

No 4glte after updating at&t software

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and lost my 4GLTE after updating my at&t software. I have tried going into settings and opening up mobile networks to select 4glte, but it no longer gives that or any other option. It won't even allow me to select "default setting". It's as though everything got deleted when I did the update. How do I fix this?

Hey there
I’m sorry to hear that GPS functionality has been affected by a recent software update! I’d be happy to help! May I ask what appears to be happening when you use a GPS based app? Do you receive any error messages or does the location update at all? For troubleshooting purposes, I would recommend trying the Maps app with the device in Safe Mode. To enter Safe Mode:
With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button until the logo appears on screen, then release.
With the logo on screen, press and hold the Volume Down button.
Continue to hold the Volume Down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.
Please check to see if the GPS functionality is working in Safe Mode. If so, we may have a corrupted file on our hands and should backup the device data in preparation for a factory reset.
I hope this helps!

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Error messages after update to mac os 10.4.6

After updated to mac os 10.4.6 everytime I use Photoshop CS2 I receive an error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
I did all the workarounds that were described in document 331627 from Adobe's website and nothing worked.
I also subscribe to maxosx.com support and someone suggested removing the legal.localized/Tien...file from the photoshop cs2/legal directory, but everytime I tried to select the directory "legal" from within the finder view, it disappeared and closed the finder window.
HELP!

Did you upgrade from a previous version of OS X like 10.3.x or 10.2.x or from a prior version of 10.4.x? If the former, there are probably some files in your previous system folder that need to be restored.
Otherwise, double click Photoshop when it's closed, and then IMMEDIATELY hold Command + Option + Shift. You'll get a box for resetting the settings. Select Yes and maybe that will help.

I was updating Firefox from version 6 to version 7, after updating I tried to open Firefox and the message I got is this: This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. How can I fix this?

I was updating Firefox to the newest version 7.0.1 from version 6.0.2 I think it was, I clicked the restart Firefox button that always comes up after updating. It started updating and then Firefox never restarted like it was supposed to after it was done updating. I then tried to open Firefox and it told me "This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found." I did have Firefox crash on maybe about 30 minutes or so earlier which bothered me because I have been using Firefox for years and never had it crash on me before but I didn't think much of it at the time it happened because I was able to go back onto Firefox and finish what I had been working on. A while later I checked for updates and updated. The first time I tried to update it didn't work though so I had to shutdown Firefox and reopen Firefox and start the update a second time. It was after the second time that when I tried to open Firefox I got that message about failing to start because xul.dll can't be found. I filed a crash report when my Firefox crashed. This would have been around 1am-2am in the morning that Firefox first crashed and then wouldn't allow me to open it after updating. I have a DELL laptop running the Windows XP operating system but the laptop is probably at least 6 or 7 years old. The laptop will no longer charge so I always have to have it plugged into an outlet. Both my laptop hard drive and my external hard drive give me messages that I am running out of disk space on my hard drive. I bought this laptop 6 or 7 years ago second hand so it could be even older. In short it's a piece of crap and it gives me all kinds of issues but I currently can't afford a new one, but I have never had any problems with Firefox and I use Firefox more than any other aspect of my laptop so it's really really bothering me. May you please help me fix it?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
