GPS Issues with Ellipsis 7

I am getting inaccurate and sometimes slow to respond GPS issues with my Ellipsis 7.  it seems that the refresh rate for the GPS is extremely slow so when i'm looking at the maps while driving the dot moves every 1-2 seconds as opposed to moving with me.  even after doing several factory resets the issue still doesn't go away.  It makes Ingress very frustrating when you keep jumping around unable to get a fix on a portal.
is anyone else having this or similar issues?
Also my tablet suffers from the 1GB App Space issue.
any resolutions on the above issue too?

clearly you are misinformed SarahO_VZW.  according to the Important Note: Memory Management i dont have the latest software.  Plus I already called into support and they sent me a box.  I am really getting sick and tired of the lack of consistent knowledge btwn Support Reps.  and this extends beyond just this Ellipsis 7 Device it also includes the Lumia Cyan Update that was supposed to be pushed to all Windows 8 Phones this year but hasn't.  I get one answer from one technician and a completely contradictory answer from another agent.
I used to work for Verizon in TechSupport for Verizon FiOS.  and we all had our facts straight as to what was what.  but the Wireless Division is all screwed up.
My advise to you Sarah from one Tech Support Rep to another.  Please read all responses in the forum and do more research before you answer a question and don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions of your superiors before answering.

  • Lightroom 5 GPS issue with Nikon D3

  • GPS issues on CDMA iPhone?

    i'm getting pretty frustrated with the GPS issues with the CDMA iPhone.
    i cannot maintain a consistent lock with GPS for more than a few minutes.
    on Navigon: GPS looses every 4 minutes or so, and the speed indicator never shows a consistent speed, it'll show 60, 60, 0, 58, 58, 0, etc... then it will loose lock and take quite some time to get it back.
    on GPS Drive (motion GPS): it will drive for a few more minutes, but then loose lock for minutes at a time.
    on the GSM iPhone, i never had these problems.
    anyone have any suggestions or fixes for the problem?

    I feel your pain.  I have the same issue with my CDMA iPhone and there have been numerous threads in regards to it and there has never been any acknowledgement from Apple that an issue even exists.  Some people have noted that doing a hard reset of the phone, or restoring your phone from a backup have lessened the issue, but to my knowledge nobody has posted a guaranteed cure.  One thing that I have noticed that if you're using bluetooth in your car, turn it completely off (under settings/general/bluetooth) as a test and then try your GPS apps again.  The problem seemed to occur significantly less.  Another noteworthy point is that the Maps app that comes with the phone doesn't seem to have this problem.  Please comment back in regards to bluetooth and Maps with your results.  Also for all it's worth, you can send feedback to Apple in regards to this.  I did so, but never heard a response, but none the less that's the place to also post issues such as this.  Here's the link...
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    One think of interest is that it is an assisted GPS.  It uses WIFI, cell towers, GPS and who knows what else to pinpoint your position.  And there has been some privacy concerns (a little overblown if you ask me though) over the data collected by Apple to pinpoint your position.  Apple has admitted to discovering bugs in iOS 4 in regards to this and has indicated that an update is forthcoming to address this.  So maybe our problems are related.  Keep your fingers crossed!

  • I need some help with my GPS issue

    I'm writing to ask you if You could somehow help me solve my GPS issue. I own Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. I've recently updated it's software and installed the new OVI Maps. I know that there is an option to use it offline which means without an Internet connection. When I start the Maps application and choose the offline mode, the only thing that appears at the top of the screen is "Searching position". The map is available but my position can't be specified without Internet on. When I turn my wireless router on, even though my maps are set in offline mode, it automatically connects to the Internet and spends something like 5KB download. If I keep navigating it spends even more. I've left my mobile phone offline to search for my position for an about half an hour but nothing happened. So, my question is, could you tell me what to do and how to use OVI Maps offline?

    Assuming you are useing Maps 3.06 from beta labs and the map data is the latest compatible maps installed through ovi suite, then all should work well provided you followed the installation instructions correctly. If you don't use assisted gps or any other method of positioning except integrated Gps then you need to be in an open space with clear view of the sky to allow the GPS antenna to get a lock, this can take 10 to 30 minutes (the first time you try for a lock, shouldn't take that long again) and once you have a lock the location should work fine. The reason the other methods are available is thet they speed up the whole process and also work when in built up areas where buildings can block thre satelite view from the gps antenna. The amount of data used to lock your position is minimal and unless you have zero data allowance I suggest using all the positioning methods. If using the navigation abroad, you can disable evrything and simply use integrated GPS as long as you've loaded the local map data to your phone previously.
    Good Luck

  • E72 issue with GPS

    I have an E72-1 which I bought in Hong Kong. I have installed latest software and O/S updates.
    Everything works fine, except that the GPS software which comes with the unit does not display my altitude or lat/ long co-ordinates. In fact the fields are not even on the tab along with the other data. Is this a region specific issue with this model, and more importantly is there anything I can do about it???
    Thanks

    Which GPS aplication are you reffering to? Is it Ovi Maps ot GPS data?
    The Position function in GPS Data should give you all the data you referred to but only once it has obtained a GPS position fix. It is says waiting for GPS, that means it does not have a position fix yet.This could take a while and will only happen if you are outdoors and the phone has a good view of the satellites in the sky. 

  • GPS/Satellite issue with running apps

    All of a sudden, on several different running apps I use (which use GPS/satellite to track how many miles I run), have become wildly inaccurate.  Maps of my runs show zig zagging all over the route when I really am just going in a relatively straight line.  I've had no problems for 1+ years of using the app in the same areas, so I don't think it's because of the signal, also, other people I am with using the same app don't have the same problem.  It has also occurred on multiple (at least 3) different apps, so it's not just specific to one app.  I don't have problems with it finding my location when I start the app, it's just along the route that it goes bonkers.  I also don't seem to have any location/gps problems with any map-related apps.  This has been driving me nuts and the app developers are no help.  Please help me, I'll try anything!!!

    Toggle location service off and on by going settings>privacy>Location services. If that doesn't fix the problem reset network settings or reset all settings.

  • GPS issue please help me please

    Hi guys,
    Well i know there are several forms for GPS issue but i cant find the right one for me...Please guys help me if u can.
    I have N95 8 GB with GPS activated for Middle East Dubai....
    Now the issue is this that before i was used to connect very quickly say about 10 minutes but right now i mean as of last couple of weeks its taking hell of time indeed not connecting at all...I place my mobile and my frnds mobile at same place but mine is not connecting at all...his mobile connects like in minute or so....please can u guys help me...my mobile is rarely used for 3 months...
    Do i need to change some settings....If satellite is not available it sudnt connect to my frnds same mobile v20....but it connects to him not to mine....

    First thing you do is to run GPS Data in connectivity and see if the phone achieves GPS lock any faster than now.
    Secondly, run Nokia Maps, Goto Options>About and tell us the version you have. It should be accross the top of the screen.

  • New To Nokia And Having Some issues With N79

    Hi
    I have bought a Nokia for the first time ever and fancied a change from Sony Ericsson due to software issues, however i have been experiencing a few issues with my N79.
    When listening to Music in the Music Player and change track, the phone will crash and keep restart it's self, so i tried searching online for the issue and didn't find much help, so i tried doing a Soft Reset wich didn't work.
    I then tried a Hard Reset and have noticed some icons are missing and the preinstalled Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos have been deleted.
    I then downloaded and installed Nokia Software Updater and tried re-installing the phones software (wich is 11.049.53.1) thinking i would get back the Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos ect but that didn't work...
    And now the phone has developed another bug... Whenever i use the GPS it asks to go online and i click yes, the phone will just crash and restart and i have to take the battery out to get it to go off.
    So far i am NOT very happy with the phone concidering the price i payed for it and having more software issues to deal with...
    Any help would be appreciated...

    Which map do you mean ??? And will it restore all the preinstalled content ???
    Ive only had this phone a week after paying nearly £300 and im having trouble with it already...

  • Multiple Issues with HTC 8X and Verizon Doesn't Care

    I have had this phone for three months and had this issue the whole time.  Searched Verizon and Windows forums and found the same thing.  Only Verizon HTC 8X having this issue.  On top of that I am now having hardware issues.  Phone SIM not showing up as connected and have to restart or re-seat the SIM.  Battery life has gone down drastically.  Overnight charge gets me 11 hours tops without using my Data plan with WIFI off and other major apps closed out.  Shouldn't have to do that to utilize features on a smart phone.  As soon as I begin using my data plan the 11 hours is cut in half.  Not to mention if I use the phone for GPS navigation it gets drained in 30 minutes to and hour.  Then the software is now freezing.  Either freezes completly and have to restart or applications i try to open, stall and then go  back to the start menu.  I have to then power off the phone which freezes and 15 minutes later powers off.  3 months into the phones contract.  Ridiculous.  Bought from Letstalk.com and they told me I am SOL.  14 days for return and 30 for exchange.  Go see HTC.  HTC says i'm SOL.  Go to Verizon and get a new SIM.  Factory Reset the device as  well.  If that doesn't help, ship it to us and we will repair.  Are you kidding.  I am a consultant for a major merger and acquisition company that deals with infrastructure practices all day.  Send you my phone for repair on a 3 month old phone.  Are you kidding me.  Finally talked to Verizon.  They are not consciously aware of the HTC 8x missed call three beep scenario when it has been on there forums since December of this year.  With all my issues they told me I'm SOL.  I don't want to send it in for repair.  That is ridiculous.  What will that solve.  A couple of the issues.  What about the three beep issue the has plagued me for months. A refurbished of a different model from two years ago, no thanks.  I received a new phone three months ago.  So you wanna make it my fault and tell me here take an iphone 4 from two years ago from 300 dollars.  I am furious with this and want to proceed with making sure this lack of decent service for an issue like this is resolved and others don't have to face this type of treatment.  I paid good money for a smartphone with reliable service.  So far i'm being told to bend over and take it from everyone.  I feel that the three beep issue alone is a breach of the contract I have with Verizon and I should be able to constitute that right and terminate this disease.

    Hello,
    I received my new "reconditioned" phone to replace my 6 month old Droid 4.
    The replacement phone only holds a charge for 6 hours or so, with minimal
    use (no internet).
    I am VERY unhappy. I left a message with the store employee who helped me
    activate the replacement
    phone, but have not heard back. This is really disappointing. I paid a lot
    of money AND signed an additional
    2 year contract in order to purchase my Droid 4. Now I am stuck with a piece
    of junk phone as is my other
    employee who has a replaced Droid 4 as well. The store even told me they had
    "issues" with this model (battery completely died on my phone 619-XXX-XXXX
    as well as on 760-XXX-XXXX).
    We concluded that when both our Droid 4 phones died within a couple of
    months of each other.
    AT the very least, we should have our phones replaced with new, so they can
    at least hold a charge and be used for
    our business as the purpose they were purchased  for.
    I would think making this right, since this is quite obviously NOT our fault
    would be clear if you expect to retain customers.

  • Address Book and Sync Issues with Verizon Curve

    I got my first BB about a month ago and like it, for the most part.  I have three major issues with it now:
    1.  SYNC   I've downloaded and installed the latest software from pocket mac and my first sync went fine (I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11).  Every sync after that has failed.  I've tried the recommended solutions like cleaning out the sync history, re-installing, etc.  I've un-installed and re-installed several times with no change.  The sync begins fine and but never finishes.  One thing that could be a problem is the version - every time I download the software, I've clicked on the newest version, (PocketMacForBlackBerry4.1.25.dmg) but after it installs, it calls itself Version 1.2 (1.4).  Shouldn't it be 4.1?  I know there are issues with older versions, but I can't seem to get 4.1 installed.  
    2.  ADDRESS BOOK    Sinse my first and only sync, I've needed to add a LOT of contacts into my address book manually.  It doesn't work most of the time.  When I add a new contact and save, it won't exit the contact, but pops up this note:  "Address updated externally, changes will be lost and the viewer closed."  The same thing happens if I'm trying to create a new entry or edit an existing entry.  The real crazy part is that many of the numbers I've added show up when they are incoming calls - the name and correct phone number, but when I try to call out on my phone, the contact info will not show.  
    3.  GPS    Not a major deal, but none of the GPS services work.  I use the Google Maps mobile app, but the GPS does not work.  Neither does any of the other software I have installed for GPS.  I have gone into the preferences and enabled the GPS and saved the changes.  The logo even appears on the main screen, it just doesn't work.  *NOTE* I've found that Verizon has disabled the GPS unless you pay for the VZ Navigator service.  Typical Verizon marketing.  Is there any way to bypass Verizon's block?
    Needless to say, I'm not very impressed with Pocket Mac software of the RIM address book utility.  I've read over many of the posts in this forum and see many other frustrated users.  Makes me really think about throwing my money at an iPhone. 
    If anyone has any solutions to my problems/frustrations, I would be VERY grateful.
    thanks for your time,
    -marlowe

    I cannot say I AGREE! any louder.
    This pocketmac people claim in the website to offer "solutions" but they have given me lots of headaches and I too would just go and buy an iphone. The only problem is that AT&T does not work in my house.
    No matter how many tricks I have tried I cannot make my 8330 accept the changes i make in my address book. It is absolutely a killer.
    Some previous user said that bluettoth could help but at any rate that was to over ride the address book with the 8330 data and in my case i was trying to do the opposite. 
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • A few issues with my new BB Bold 9700

    Hey, i have a few questions, i thought best to keep it to one thread. FYI i updated my blackberry software today using my computer so it all should be on latest versions
    1: GPS never ever works, simple, ive run diagnostics, they time out, and i can never find satelites. My mobile provider does not block it (tmobile uk), is this some sort of joke feature? or is it meant to work.
    2: Blackberry Messenger, i deleted it because i dont want to use it, but my update put it back on the phone. and now theres no way to delete it How can i get rid of it, its always running and that means using valuable memory that isnt needed for it
    3: Prior to today i would press the lock button  on my BB and then you would need to enter the password to unlock the phone, however for some reason the latest update now doesnt use my password when i press the lock button, if i go into the menu and click lock it does. Why.. and how do i make it work like it did
    4: When people phone me, it shows me the number calling me and not the name of the contact. This is pathetic, at work i dont want to answer calls from other prospective jobs, but how do i know who they are if it just shows the number. I have to reject call and then go to my call log. which funny enough shows me name of contact and the number. Why does it not show me this when i am being called
    Overall this is my first BB, i like it, but theres always something going wrong, and im no technophobe. It seems every few days BB releases new updates which screws up things i had working, and changes the options menu dramatically. its getting impossible to keep up
    Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • Issue with Reminders not working when setting it to arrive or leave a location in iOS7.

    Hi all,
       Tried everything: Called support and reset All setting.  Made sure all "location settings" are set.  Restored via iTunes as a new phone, checked all setting again, set a reminder to remind me to get gas when I leave my home, and it never reminded me.  Also, doesn't remind when I arrive at a location.  I have tried this with my wifes phone (iPhone 5) and my daughters (iPhone 4) all running iOS7 and it doesn't work.  I never had this issue with iOS6. All other locations services like GPS, maps, & weather working fine.  I strongly believe it's a iOS7 bug. Has anyone else experianced this issue?

    In case you haven't seen this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5329723
    Jump to page 5. There is a solution by ben812 that initially worked for me, but after restarting my phone I was back to square one.
    I visited the local Genius Bar, and they claim they have not heard of this problem. Whether that is true or not, they know now. One of the employees confirmed that WiFi would need to be on, as the location service checks it first (before using GPS). Seems like a bug, but for now having WiFi on and leaving Reminders running in the background seems to solve the issue.
    I hope Cupertino addresses this in an upcoming iOS release.

  • Compatable GPS units with Aperture 3

    In the user manual for Aperture 3, there is a link for a list of compatable devices; http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs
    There is no list at this link. Does anyone know where I can get this info? I'm looking to use a GPS for upcoming shoots and would like to know what is compatible with Aperture 3. Any help appreciated

    Another AMOD user here - I posted a few times about this last week, but I'll borrow from that thread to talk about my experiences with the AMOD and Places.
    Had a 3 week shoot in Argentina and decided to try out Aperture 3's new GPS location tagging. So I bought an AMOD 3080 logger and faithfully used it the entire trip. Here's my story, plus a few issues with Places.
    First some notes on using the AMOD 3080 - at times it was hard to get to get it logging in Buenos Aires, I assume due to the building density blocking the satellite receptio. Sometimes took 20 minutes to start "flashing", meaning it had acquired the GPS signal and was logging, though it was much speedier out in rural areas.
    Charging the three NiMH batteries every night was a bit of a hassle for my charger, which recharges by pairs (I logged about 12 hours a day, so the batteries were usually out of juice by the end of the day). I had a second set of extra batteries, so I would recharge 2 batteries one night and 4 the next. A couple of times I misplaced which of the three was the uncharged battery from the night before, so that was another stupid thing to have to worry about. But be sure to factor in another $30 for a NiMH charger into your total price for the AMOD (plus the weight of the chargers on the road). It might mean a more expensive unit, with a lighter and integrated built-in charger, could suddenly look better. FYI, after returning I found the following unit that charges each AAA battery independently, which would be a better way to go.
    http://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-BC-700-Battery-Charger/dp/B000RSOV50/ref =wlit_dpo?ie=UTF8&coliid=I38WY26GTFAAB0&colid=1JZG5Z0U956FB
    But other than remembering to switch it on and off, I'd just throw the AMOD in my camera bag throughout the day. One nice thing is no fussy settings beyond on or off - it just pulls time (UTC) and location from the GPS ttransmissions - only option is to choose a 1 second or 5 second log interval.
    I ended up with about 30 log tracks from the trip (everytime you switch on the unit, it adds a new track). This was more data than the 128 MB capacity, but I also was able to back up the AMOD to my NEXTODi Extreme 2700 units - I back up my images onto two different Extreme units every night before wiping my CF cards. Near the end I did a "move" onto the NEXTODi which copied the data over and then erased the AMOD.
    Regarding the import of the GPS logs into Aperture, the import for the AMOD files is fast and painless. I did sych the cameras to UTC before I left (within half a second), as I thought there would be some sort of auto import. But after the logs are inside Aperture (you select/load them on a map), you have to choose the images you want to place on that particular log, then drop them onto the track at the corresponding time for the main image you have chosen. Even though I set my camera to Argentina time, when I imported my images into Aperture 3 they defaulted to US PST, my home time zone. So i had to readjust all photos to -5 hours, Argentina time, to match the GPS data. So to implement the correct placement, in this case I had to drag the selected photos around the GPS track on the map until it showed 5 hours 0 minutes time difference, then drop the photos onto the map.
    Understanding this now, I suspect the Aperture team did it this way (all photos will be offset by the same time difference show when dropping) in case the camera is not set to the exact time used by satellites (UTC). But it still is a bit frustrating that I can only get a minute synch. Further, if you are in pone place for an extended time, you get a tangle of lines on your GPS track - finding the correct one wold be murder. Combined with the problem getting a signal in BsAs, I had to fuss with placing the images much more than I thought I would have to. I solved this by starting a group selection from an image that had a "cleaner" time to find onthe HPS path. Again, not a deal-breaker but a bit more hassle than i expected. All in all, I'd say I spent 5 or 6 hours getting the 7000 images on the correct tracks, at the correct times. Ths included some time for manually placing images that fell outside of the logs.

Maybe you are looking for
