GPS problem (?) in new iPad wifi?

If I open Map app, iPad can show me my location... but it seems that the gps won't refresh itself. When I am moving around by car.... the gps will only show me the location where i open the map app and stays there and wont follow my moving car, until I re-launch the map app.
Is it a gps problem or does it the way wifi iPad work? Because I used to have an iPad (1st gen) wifi+3g and the map+gps worked fine.

Ouch....
It explains the "problem".
Thanks stedman1.

Wifi problems with new ipad

I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad. It is the wifi only, 64GB model. I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network. I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network. When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network. My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi.
I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question. I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem.
I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms.
Can anyone offer any advice here? This is quite frustrating.

No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

New ipad wifi issues

have problem with new ipad and wifi, signal strength is good but no connection to internet??
same nettwork iphone 4 works find.

1. Have you tried rebooting router?
2. Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Had problem w/ new iPad mini w/retina display. Could never get it to stay connected on a consistent basis to my ATT Netgear wireless. Does anyone have a solution?

Had problem with new iPad mini with retina connecting to my ATT net gear modem. Finally gave up and exchanged it for new air. Have had no problems with air connection. Has anyone had mini issues with ATT?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.

Wifi problem with iOS 6 and new ipad wifi/4g

This is my first ipad and have been very disappointed so far.
At first it was working normally and I was connecting to the Internet without problem. It would stay connected. I only use the device with WiFi and have cellular turned off.
After the iOS 6 upgrade I have been having problems staying connected to wifi. It works until the unit goes to sleep. Then if try to use the ipad later in the day It will only connect it i go and reset network settings .
I called apple and they said since I am over 95 days from purchase I can no longer call them for help. They said I do have hardware support, but I have no way to call and see if is software or hardware without paying for a service contract.
Can someone help me out with this. I have tried the online solutions and the only one that works is resetting the network settings. I is only temporary and not an acceptable fix for a 800 device.
I have both linksys and buffalo routers but it happens with both

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Any problems with new iPad Air 2?

I have an iPad 2 (2nd Generation) 512GB RAM w/32GB storage. Running out of storage room.
Thinking of getting the new iPad Air 2 128GB wifi
Before I buy one, any problems or issues with it? I hope the issues are only with iOS 8 and not the hardware.
iOS issues can be fixed with a new update.

Currently as of this post there is a random popping sound every so often, wifi shuts off sometimes and turns back on. The speaker vibrating isn't a defect but it's there because of how thin.

My new ipad-wifi has slow internet connection

I have a very good from my Ipad 1, but weak signal from the "new Ipaf wi-fi" model. Is this common and how can I resolve

Text problem on new ipad

new ipad, was texting fine from it but suddenly stopped sending them unless i send a picture with it??.

This is not normal. A power reset will not fix the problem; you should visit your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and request a repair or replacement. There's nothing you can do yourself.

Having problems with new ipad and charging?? Help me please

I have the new ipad with retina display and it had that new smaller charger as you probably already know, well I've only had this ipad for about three months and I've already gone through two chargers for the same problem which is When I plug it in it does not charge unless I unplug it and plug it in about 40 times and then it starts to charge! Do you think it may have something to do with the ipad itself or am I just getting faulty chargers? It's not that cheap to keep re-buying these chargers ):

Since your iPad is quite new, why are you "re-buying" chargers? Are you not using the charger that came in the box -- the original Apple charger? If you were doing that, and did not mishandle the charger (e.g., tug on the cord to pull the charger out of the wall socket), Apple would take care of the charger under its warranty.
So I suspect you're either mishandling the charger (not likely), or using some third party charger (more likely).
If it's the original Apple charger, and you're not mishandling it, contact Apple for assistance.
