GPS lock-loss - maybe a solution

tested a bit with the settings and had a success yesterday
while navigating for 100 km. i didnt lose the lock, although i
still have the problem that the device cant get a lock without
a-gps. it takes forever.
but for the lock-loser and "recalculating route" i maybe found a
solution.
please someone try it and tell me your results....
read here:

(where i described the settings in the maps application!)
cheers, axel

Has anyone still having problems tried this Apple
article??
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
I have seen the article. The problem I seem to have is that the Ipod shows up in the device manager but not in the disk management section for me to do anything with it.
I did get it working on the Compaq - followed same steps on the Dell with no luck.
I completely removed everything - restarted the computer
from Apple.com downloaded Ipod updater (newest version) itunes and quickplace.
restarted the computer
reset the ipod
connected the ipod
the hardware was found by the computer as an ipod, then as a storage device (drive F).
that's where I sit
any ideas?

  • No GPS lock in the Dominican Republic

    I have installed this version of 3.06 on my Nokia 5230 Nuron
    ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk7_b11_s60_5.0_nocs_beta.sis
    which works very well in the USA. I have no data plan with T-mobile so I do not use any internet connectivity to assist the GPS. I went to the Dominican Republic where I had no T-Mobile coverage (and didn't expect to) for 10 days and just got back. Before I left I loaded the DR map onto my phone. I thought that the GPS should work fine there because it doen't require a data plan and it doesn't require any phone coverage. I could never get a GPS lock or even show a GPS signal while there. Am I wrong about what is required for the GPS to work on these phones?
    Thanks.

    @gregorycharper
    There are no holes in GPS satellite coverage, although the number of remaining satellites which could be brought into service in case of failure are now quite depleted.
    As farby pointed out if you relying solely on Integrated GPS as a positioning method, it is like starting OVI Maps application for the very first time again and you need to give it sufficient time to lock on to your new location.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • **A2107 IdeaTab Locked up Hard on Lock Screen ** Unresponsive ** Temporary Solution

     I bought two of these devices for my children for christmas. My son had been setting his up to kind of clone his phone for ease of use I guess. As he was unlocking it from a sleep it Locked up Hard. One would have thought that it was bricked. Everything became unresponsive. I let it sit for a good hour trying to hold down the Power button for different durations. Nothing was working. I then took the small back cover off that conceals the camera and SD slot. I came across a small hole with a white dot in it. I stuck a Paper clip in it and voila, it powered off.  I was then able to reboot the phone. 
     What I have found that I assume is the culprit is poor development of this system.  It seems to me that the memory management part of the kernel is not tweaked for optimal performance of this sytem. In a nutshell the Specs say it has 512mb RAM Space. I have watched his tablet get down to only 32mb RAM free space With very minimul use, the tablet becomes absolutely unusable. A good temp fix for this is to install Advance Task Killer from the market or some kind of memory management app. I set his to Kill Apps every hour with Moderate Security. This typically tends to free up about 300mb RAM for use.
     A more permanent solution would be to ROOT your device (This will most likely void any warranty you may have, and I imply no warranty that this will work) and install CoD Tweaks, Maybe a Custom ROM if any are available. With it Rooted you can also install Titanium Backup from the Market and Freeze apps such as those Bloatware apps that come preinstalled and are always started because Lenovo made it do that.
     I felt like sharing this because I am sure there are others that are having the same issue I did. Just google it you'll find them
    Oh and my daughters tablet I added task killer to right after first boot so she has had no problems at all. I Hope that if JB is pushed to this device that better developement on the Kernel Side will be done to help this little gem out. I really do like this tablet I may even buy myself one to replace my in-dash stereo system in my car 
    I've had a lot of devices through the years. With those years and devices comes a little bit of knowledge that may be of use here.

    @ crankbait33 I experience it awhile ago of my a2107a-H ideatab and same as you do I sit it in an hour for fixing it. I almost gave up but I try to search for this problem and i found out your blog. Because Lenovo did not put to the manual where the reset button located for this simple problem..Anyway, Thank You for sharing this information. Absolutely working!  

  • Nokia 5800 - Bad GPS reception lately (maybe after...

    Hello,
    When I first got the phone (about 3 months back), the GPS reception was fine. In buildings it didn't find sattelites, but when I was outside it was no problem. But lately the reception is really bad. Even when I'm outside and not in range of large buildings, my 5800 can only find a few sattelites.
    I think it maybe is since I upgraded the firmware of my phone to v30, but I'm not sure.
    Does anyone know what I can do about it? It's really annoying!
    Thank you all in advance

    May be you have deleted the Maps data. Connect the phone to PC thru' USB and thru' Windows Explorer browse for the 'Cities' folder and the 'qf' files on the Phone / Memory card. Delete them. Now disconnect the phone and open Maps..and close them after some 20-30 seconds so  that the folder structure is recreated. Now connect the phone again and open Nokia Suite . Go to Maps in the Nokia suite and select the Maps you want to download / install.. and click the appropriate tab. Once installed you should be able to use the Maps once again ...

  • GPS lock on question...

    Hi, I am looking to buy another phone, and would like one that locks on to a GPS signal without aGPS and doing it in less that 15min. I currently have an e71, which works great sometimes for this, but very poorly on other times.
    Does anyone have any experience with cold lock on times without using A-GPS? Can you post your phone and your average lock-on times?  Also say what apps you use (OVI, Garmin, etc)
    thanks 

    If you have location services turned on, then yes it is using your A-GPS chip, though not as heavily as if you have an app open that is using location services.
    I guess you'd say it's on and in a low power mode/state.
    It's pretty much exactly like you said about Bluetooth how if you have it turned on and you don't have a device connected, it's still using power cause it's basically in a low power state waitin for a device to be connected.
    As Apple themselves say if you want to extend your battery life and you are not using or you don't need location services for any of the apps that you currently have running then switch location services off.
    This is because the iPhone's A-GPS chip is recieving power, even if it is in a low power state.
    To put it simply, when it comes to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Location Services or even 3G ,(cause these are all battery drawing features), if you don't need it then turn it off and your battery will thank you for it.
    I hope this helps

  • I want to measure direction of the car while sitting in that, without using GPS. Is there any solution?

    Please pose a solution so that I can make my required Electronic Component

    - Before GPS we had the instrument called compass.
    It began with a cork-floating needle and evolved to digital compasses, both pointing towards the earth's magnetic north. A short time I worked at a company that designed them for yachts. Due to all the metal inside a car I believe you should do some trimming.
    If you take this, combined with an inertial sensor (for the relative fast turns), you should be able to succeed.
    - Mobile-phone signal-strengths of base-stations should give rough position info, but that's beyond my knowledge.
    - If you need additional info on speed, I read an article that proposed to use the bumps in the road to measure speed (first bump on front wheels, then on rear wheels) by using an acceleration-sensor.
    - Early Carin sy
    stems used a sensor at the brake-disk for speed-info.
    So there are as ever, numeral sensor-options.

  • Maybe the solution for the BDM crashing

    HEY GUYS!
    I found a solution(at least for me) for the same crashing situation thats everyone have.
    First, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3.
    I tried everything post in this forum, even in other forums. I've checked the recommend configuration to see if I'm missing something. I saw maybe my .Net framework was not up-to-date so after installing the v4, it dosen't do anything better. So here is the step I made to solve this :
    - Start BDM
    - Crash occur
    - Plugged my Blackberry without selecting in the device what I wanna do
    - A message appear on my computer saying it missed a filled to continue, Xmllite.dll
    - Gone to MS website to download the package : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915865/fr
    - Installed it
    - Always with the device plugged, i start BDM
    - IT WORKS! NO CRASH!
    So give it a try to see if it can be the solution for all of us. If so... Merry Christmas!

    Thank you for your solution...happy Christmas

  • I lost my iphone 4 white I can track it by GPS lock or please give me the location

    I lost my iphone 4 white I can track it by GPS location block or please give me urges me I have important documents of my work if you can not find lock it so they can not view or modify information

    This would only work if you have iOS5 installed, and you have activated the "Find my iPhone" feature.
    If so, you clould log into iCloud and locate or remotely lock or wipe your phone.

  • At a loss for a solution

    I've been at this since Wednesday. Five days now, for about 4-8 hours a day.
    The low-down-
    -on Wed. I updated to iTunes 5 from 4.9. When 5 started up I connected my iPod and was told that I needed to update my iPod software, so I did from v2.2 to v2.3. Then iTunes 5 begain to update my iPod with my iTunes library. It got to around song 280 and freezes up on me with the info window in iTunes stuck flashing between "updating iPod do not discounect" and "uploading song 280 of 2154: Name of song" From here I've gotten different error messages here is what they were.
    1-"attempting to copy to disk "Ricky Woodson's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    2-"Some of the songs in the iTuens music library including the song "name of song" were not copied to the iPod, because they could not be found."
    the first message is the one I still continue to get. I've changed all my songs to Mp3s and deleted all none mp3 files.
    I've called apple and they've had me do everything from delete and re-install to restore my iPod, to deleteing my entire iTunes library and then going to iTuens File menu and then "add to library" and then select my entire harddrive. iTuens then imported all the sounds off of my harddrive. This still didn't work. Then I found a thread on discussion forums where someone said I should delete the iPodDriver.kext from extensions, so I did. Then I couldn't get my iPod Updater to see my iPod when it was plugged in. I had to get pacifer to download the iPodDrive.kext extension file agian (reinstalling iTuens and iPod updater did now install the software)
    Next I did an arcive and install of my OS system, which is Tiger by the way.
    Then I update all my software and re-install iTunes and the 9-9-2005 iPod updater and give it another go...still no luck. But now I can use the restore button in iPodUpdater to wipe my iPod
    In my last ditch effort I even tried to erase my ipod using disk utility and then restoring the software using iPod Updater. Nope this didn't work either. I'm in need of help. I'm willing do try anything because basically my iPod is worthless now. reduced to being a highly designed over priced paper weight. These problems only begun the day I upgraded to iTuens 5 and iPod v2.3 and Quicktime 7.0.2 Someone please help.

    Hey Ricky,
    I've sorted my problem out but I wouldn't exactly call it a solution. I'll run through all the steps I took... not sure if you need to do all of them, but just in case... and hopefully you'll be able to sort yours out too. I think it's actually problem with iTunes 5 which they haven't sorted yet. Anyway, here's what I did.
    1) Removed all music from my library on iTunes
    2) Uninstalled iTunes
    3) Restored my iPod using the latest updater
    4) Reinstalled iTunes
    5) Added music back to library
    6) Set it to "Automatically sync with the iPod" (I normally just drag the library over to it)
    7) Connected up iPod and it started copying over songs.
    8) When the error message "Attempting to copy to the dish Simon's iPod failed. The disk could not be written to." obviously came up again! I clicked ok and waited for it to say it was ok to remove the iPod. I then disconnected iPod for 30 secs then reconnected and it started syncing again from where it had left off. This happened again about 7 times but repeated the steps each time and eventually got all music (with artwork) on the iPod. Although 7 times is still not great, it's better than the 50 times I had before... this is for 4000 songs so it may happen more or less for you.
    I definitely think this is a screw up in iTunes. As you can see this isn't really a solution but a temporary fix to deal with their screw up! I can't believe they don't get rid of all the bugs before they launch software. Anyways, I hope that helps you in the short term. Be sure to let me know if you find anything more long term! Good luck

  • Question on Bit Locker & IBM Client Security Solution CSS.

    Since both Bit Locker and CSS use the TPM chip to store the key, can they both be used at the same time?

    I can, idzham, but where do I find the .exe file for reinstalling it? Losing that key, and being completely locked out of my machine, concerns me. 

  • Locking problem in BPS solution not getting solved  using RSPLSE. SEM_BPS_S

    Can anyone tell me exactly what "rsplse" offers to solve locking in BPS?
    We have made correct selection of characteristics (in our case "costcentre" infoobject) in tab "Lock characteristics" , but still when two people are trying to access (write) data in the same transactional cube against the different cost centres, the system is throwing an error message Cube “zIC_ccp” is locked by username.  (Or if a single person is using the two packages simultaneously using  two web sessions , he is getting the same error. )
    Our assessment is that he should not be facing this locking problem because cost centres here are acting as a “key” to different selection as configured in “rsplse”. 
    Can anyone tell me how to use parameter SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK. I want to know t. code and other t . code and other details to execute SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK.

    Hi,
    Please check the OSS note 635244.
      From the OSS note :
    <b> Notes on SET/GET parameters SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK, SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK :</b>
    These two parameters have nothing to do with the problem described above. They are only designed to facilitate the Customizing process, if users carry out Customizing in t ransaction BPS0 within a project.
    <b>SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK:</b> This parameter has the effect that transaction data is not locked at all. Never use this parameter in a production system. As of Support Package 14 for Release 3.1B, parameter SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK is released by an additional switch in table upc_dark2: For this purpose you have to maintain a record with param = ENABLE_NO_LOCK and value = X in table upc_dark2. Only then the system includes parameter SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK. The parameter can then be useful if you want to test functions or the manual planning with 'test data' in Customizing.
    <b>SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK</b>: This parameter only works in transaction BPS0; it has the effect that the system unlocks data (if possible) after it has been saved. Therefore, the system only simulates an exit and reentry in transaction BPS0 with the last active detail application. Therefore, the above parameter can be helpful if many people work on Customizing in transaction BPS0, because objects can be unlocked earlier.

    Siva.
