GPS intermittently not working

The GPS on my 5S has been iffy lately. It often shows my old location instead of where I currently am. If I toggle the location services off and back on, it will readjust, but I shouldn't have to do that. Anybody know what causes this? This happens even when I'm outside on the street so it's not an issue of not getting a signal.

Hi Bearone21, I have selected GPS & Verizon Location services and Google WiFi & mobile network location.

Hi Symbianfear, Welcome to the Nokia Forums.
Firstly please be sure that you have activated A-GPS in your phone settings.
If you have already activated it can you please check that you have the GPS access point installed by going into your Settings, connectivity and then access points. If you have already got the access point profile, please delete it, restart your device and re-add the GPS access point.
If you are still experiencing issues with the GPS please perform a soft reset using the code *#7780# security code by default 12345 if prompted, this will not delete any of your data, however it will restore the phone settings as they where when new.
I hope this has helped

My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?

We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?
Thank you,

I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working

I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working, mapa is working, but cant find places or tell me my location... Can ana One help me ????

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Tablet 2 GPS receiver not working

I have a four day old tablet 2 model 3679-5XU that I purchased for traveling and using the GPS. I cannot figure out how to get it to function when not connected to WiFi or a mobil broadband connection. So far I have verified that the GNS Bus Driver and Geolocation Sensor drivers are at the latest version (19.14.5401.4). Is it just a matter of enabling the receiver somewhere in the software? I installed the GPS Sensor App and it shows the status as ready with a lat and long, but no altitude and when I turn off WiFi it will not show anything. I did the same thing with the GPSTest App and the results are the same when I turn off WiFi. Reading through the forum I see there are a lot of GPS questions but nothing of this nature. If someone could offer some insight as to how to get the GPS working, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,Roy

After much searching I found a program that takes the signal and converts it to a user-selectable virtual com port.Puff. It works. The program is free to try for 30 day and $14.95 to purchase. Here is the URL;http://www.centrafuse.com/us/centrafuse-localizer When you purchase car and something goes wrong you take it back to the company whos car it is. Tou would not take it back to the airbag company, if you had a faulty airbag. It is Lenovo's problem to fix. They want to blame it on the software. Well, if I call up Microsoft for support they say, "call Lenovo", since your software was pre-installed.If it would not work with existing software available, it should not have been installed./...

Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
11.0.026
17-04-07
RM-159
Nokia N95(05.01)
When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

X-Fi: Microphone Intermittently Not Working

I have an X-Fi Platinum with the I/O bay for extra connections. I plug in my mic to the Line-In/Mic 2 jack and sometimes on boot up, it does not work at all. Sometimes a reboot fixes it and I just noticed now for the first time it died on me mid-session while gaming. I get no input at all from Line/Mic 2, Aux 2, only the mic jack on the sound card. S/PDIF-In does not seem to work either. All input on the I/O bay seems to be dead. My headphones plugged into it still work so the thing hasn't busted.
Windows 7 x64. 8 GB of ram.

I have the same problem. I e-mailed customer support and this is what they sent me:
First Click on Start, Programs (or All Programs), Creative, and Creative Entertainment Center.
Click Entertainment Center Settings.
Check the box next to the option Enable Remote Control.
Select the corresponding receiver and transmitter under Remote Control Options.
Select the option Enable Remote Control when Windows Starts Up. Click Apply.
Test the remote to see if it is transmitting a signal. An installed webcam or a digital camera is needed. Open the webcam software or turn on the digital camera. Hold the remote in front of the camera and push any of the buttons. Look for a signal from the remote's transmitter flashing in the display of the camera. If you are still unable to get it to work try clean uninstalling all creative drivers and reinstalling them again. You can find more information on how to uninstall your soundblaster drivers here http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=72
Please let us know if we can be of any further service to you.
Thank
you.
Problem is that I never got the Creative Entertainment software with my installation CD. Where can I download this software if I don't have it's I see no option for turning enabling the remote. I have a Logitech digital camera and software.
Could someone help me out?

Gps is not working

Hello! Made a reset of all the content and preferenses on my iphone 4s. Then i tuned it and tried to use maps. When i open maps, i am said that iphone is unable to get my location. And all the apps are unable of getting my current location! How to get my gps working?

re problems with non functioning or innacurate GPS on iPhone
I have had this problem with my 3GS and had tried all the software resets and fixes.
Having read another post on this forum I opened my phone ( see Ifixit.com) and pressed on connector 6 (which is labelled as such).
Even though this did not appear to be loose it has completely fixed the problem ( which had rendered Satnav etc completely useless)
I have see other reports of the problem resolving spontaneously, after banging the phone and after changing other components and I imagine that this lead tends to come loose when the phone is knocked about giving no or an intermittent connection with the GPS aerial.
This seems a more plausible cause than OS problems. Which should affect all phones equally
I hope this helps other users

GPS & Safari not working

At first my new 3G iphone was working perfectly. Now I can't get GPS or Safari to work.
When I click the Maps icon it brings up a blank screen and then returns back to the homepage.
When I try to brows on Safari I get a message saying Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet.
Is anyone else having similar problems or got any suggestions?

That doesnt sound good. Have you tried shutting it off and turning it back on? Stupid question I know, but it sometimes works. Short of that, you might just have to bite the bullet and do a restore.

Lenovo A 7000 : GPS is not working

None of my navigation apps (e.g. Google maps) are working. When I tap the my location button, it shows a message 'Waiting for location'. I tried with 'Reset to Factory settings' and tried re-installing phone software as well.

GPS Suddenly not working good

Hello all,
I have an iPhone4, and my other 1/2 has a 3GS... My iPhone4's GPS had been flawless, been working great.
Out of nowhere it started to have "compass interference", so I did the figure 8 motion to relive that, but even so now my navigation apps don't work well/if at all because they cannot get a lock, inside or outside of the car.
I have tried rebooting, turning location services on and off, but no real luck on those.
Is there something I am missing or a trick of some sorts? Any tips or tricks any of you Apple guys have up your sleeves would be awesome.

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the iPhone range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

IMessage intermittently not working iOS 8.1.2

I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2. For some reason, iMessage will suddenly not send. It won't send as SMS either despite having selected that option in settings. I have found that after I receive the fail message, I can copy original message, delete the failed iMessage texts, and then create a new message and paste content. That will often go through. I do not know why the first messages fail to send, even after I retry or attempt to send as text (SMS) messages. It happens on both wifi and cellular, but more commonly on wifi. I have tried to restart phone and that often resolves problems, but I bought an iPhone so that I didn't have to reboot on a daily basis.

SMS texts need a cellular signal
I am thinking that that might be the issue - that your cell coverage weakens or drops.
Pure SMS cannot go over WiFi (hence the higher international charges for some carriers)
As to why you have to delete the original - don't really know but it could be stuck in the gateway and hence unable to be further processed

MotionX GPS App not working! Why does it ask for a password when I have no created one?

I'm reporting a problem with MotionX GPS. See title

You're tapping the blue button to the right of the network name. Don't, tap anywhere else in the network name. (That's my guess)
