GPS without mobile phone networks

Does GPS-function work at the Lumia 820 and 920 even if I´ve got no connection to the mobile phone networks, for example in the mountians och at the sea?

Yes, although you would probably need to install GPSInfo from Windows Phone Store to get co-ordinates and need to wait long enough for it to go to "Full GPS mode" as in these screenshots:

  • No WiFi when Mobile phone Network down

    My home WiFi - BT Infinity, works fine when I have a mobile phone signal but should I have a very poor signal or none then I am unable to log on to WiFi. In other words when I need it the most it doesn't work. For example I am with 3 and this morning the 3 Network in my area went down, no problem I thought and switched on my 3 App which allows calls and texts via my WiFi connection. It wouldn't connect to my WiFi due to me having no mobile phone network? The same thing happened a few months ago when I was on Vodafone and had a poor signal. I was in a local cafe and so asked for their password and tried to logon to their WiFi: it took about 10 attempts due to the "quality of the internet connection"?
    Is this anything to do with BT or is it my Samsung Galaxy S3?  I can't see it being the mobile phone provider as it has happened with 2 different ones.
    Many thanks

    Your home wireless connection has nothing to do with a mobile phone signal or the 3 Network.
    Your home BT Infinity wireless connection should show up on your phone wireless connections as something similar to BTHomehub5-xxxx and to connect to it you need to use the wireless passkey that is on the label on the Homehub.
    If you are using an app to try and connect to your wireless connection it may be that you have a problem with either the app or the phone or you are not using/connecting them correctly.
    Have a look at this link how to conect your phone to your BTHomehub

  • Why is my iPhone have such poor recption on mobile phone network

    Contact your carrier as the red dot usually indicates Voice Mail. VM is a carrier feature and the carrier has control over it.

  • Add Cell Phone Network Extender to Apple Network

    I am currently running a Time Capsule which gets its internet feed from a cable modem (Cablevision). I am trying to add a mobile phone network extender (Verizon micro cell) which requires an internet connection (via Ethernet cable) to create a cell phone call, since I have no towers in my area.
    The Verizon micro cell requires a VPN output from the router; the TC does not support VPN. So the Verizon micro cell does not get an internet connection if I connect it to the TC via one of its ethernet ports. It does connect to the internet if I connect it directly to the cable modem.
    APPLE: WHY DOESN'T THE TIME CAPSULE SUPPORT VPN?!? Honestly, enough is enough, I like the plug and play part of Apple equipment, but maybe, just maybe some people need semi-pro utility out of your equipment. End of Rant.
    I could buy another cable modem from Cablevision and simply plug the Verison micro cell into that, but it costs $45 per month, so that's out of the question.
    I would like to understand whether the solution I've been given from a very helpful Cablevision tech guy will work and how to execute it with minimum disruption to my network (currently the TC feeds an Airport Express elsewhere in the house as a network extender, so I really do mean minimal disruption, please). In essence, it involves cascading the Linksys to the TC.
    I am told to connect the cable modem to a router (I have two unused Linksys routers, one wireless and one without WiFi; my preference is to use the non WiFi router so I don't have two wireless signals), and then connect via the Linksys ethernet ports to the Verizon micro cell and the other to the TC. Apparently this is possible if the TC gets a WAN connection, as opposed to a LAN connection, from the Linksys. The micro cell works fine already, so I guess it just doesn't care.
    According to Apple, the input that I'm already using, from the cable modem to the TC, is a 1 GB ethernet WAN port for connecting a cable modem. When I cascade the Linksys to the TC, the TC doesn't see an internet connection, though, and it makes sense that there are conflicting IP addresses causing the problem. The port out of the Linksys works fine as if I switch the wiring, the micro cell gets an internet connection no matter what.
    Question 1: How do I configure the Linksys so that its output is something the TC can handle? Will the configuration screw up the signal that's going to the micro cell which is already OK?
    Question 2: Or what do I do in AirPort Utility to set up the TC to see the signal correctly (ie as a WAN signal) from the Linksys?
    Question 3: Is there anything else I need to know?
    Despite the "Go Dog, Go" style of writing above, I know my way around configuring Linksys routers, so your reply can be quite technical. Thanks in advance.

    Well, not much telling unless you ask the carrier that you are trying to use. If it will not work with the SIM you are trying to use, there could be any number of reasons with a phone that has not been purchased through an authorized reseller. I'm afraid no one would really be able to answer your question without a lot more information.

  • Let Macbook Pro share the Mobile Phone connection

    Hi there,
    try using macbook and mobile phone bluetooth to let my macbook pro share the internet connection from my mobile phone network.
    you know most of the time when i carry my laptop, there is no wifi connection to use internet, but mobile phone should be a good option. but how to share via bluetooth.
    try to find some articles here but really get more confused.
    anyone ever make this happen?
    Thanks,

    This is called Tethering which the iPhone supports, but your cell phone carrier must support this to begin with and most charge an additional monthly fee for a tethering data plan in addition to the carrier's data plan for the iPhone alone.
    Page 24/25 of the iPhone User Guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
    You can use iPhone as a modem to connect, or tether, your computer to the Internet. You can connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or via Bluetooth. Note: Tethering may not be available in all countries or regions. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

  • O2 iPhone (UK) doesn't join phone network -- A REMEDY

    Bought a new iPhone in the UK yesterday. Setup fine; it just wouldn't join the mobile phone network.
    Tried turning the flight mode off and on -- no change.
    Remedy: Go Settings--General--Reset--Reset All Settings.
    Now works a treat. Hope this post helps anyone else with a similar problem.

    Do the following in the order specified:
    1. Power your phone off, wait ~30 seconds, then power it back on. If no change, proceed:
    2. Reset your phone: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
    3. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    If no change after the above, post back.

  • Best Mobile Phone Provider

    Who do you think is the best mobile phone provider in the UK?
    I have never been with anybody else than T-Mobile (or previoulsy one-to-one).
    I value their free voice mail.
    I am looking for a new contract and I do not really mind who the provider is. They just need to be good.
    It happened to me quite often that I had bad reception in some building where other people always had reception. Does this only have to do with the network or also with the phone?
    Which in your opinion has the best coverage AND free voice mail if possible? Or which provider shall I avoid?
    Thanks

    Thanks very much for all the comments from everyone. Have you seen this though:
    obile Phone Network Customer Service Ratings
    OneCompare.com regularly reviews the major UK networks customer service level on order to report the results to the public so that they can make an informed decision when selecting a mobile phone network. Just click on the tabs below to see the Customer Service Ratings from the selected year.
    2005/2006
    2006/2007
    2006/2007 Customer Service Rating Report
    O2 customers suffer by getting wrong price information in four out of ten cases
    Major mobile networks are giving customers wrong information on call costs leading to higher bills
    49% of consumers unaware it costs them to receive calls abroad
    An independent assessment of mobile phone companies’ customer service staff has shown many unable to answer basic questions meaning mobile users are incurring needless costs and increasing frustration. The annual mobile phone network customer service report by independent online comparison service OneCompare.com used a mystery shopping exercise to ask questions about peak / off peak rates and international roaming costs across the six major providers. Many staff were unable to give correct information meaning customers would incur unnecessary costs or were subject to bad phone manner.
    The mobile company with the least knowledgeable staff were O2 (35%) followed by Vodafone (20%) and Orange (15.4%). O2 was particularly startling as it boasts about service standards in its exclusively British call centres, sliding further down the table from last year’s survey. In fact, O2 staff were unable to provide correct answers or solutions to over a third of the questions asked. O2 and Virgin scored particularly poorly on the international roaming rates question with O2 answering almost four in ten questions (39%) incorrectly and Virgin answering over three in ten(35%) incorrectly.
    Anthony Ball, Director of OneCompare.com comments: “It is not surprising that O2 have performed so poorly this year – with the disloyal service they provided their existing customers. In June last year, with little warning, they withdrew up to 50,000 mobile phone models which were still being used by consumers telling them if they wanted to keep making and receiving calls they would have to purchase a newer model. Furthermore, they have not actively promoted cheaper international roaming deals such as My Europe. This is a package that customers have to opt-in to receive cheaper calls, but how can they if they are not being told about them.”
    Ball continues; “17.5 million unhappy mobile phone users is a worrying number which needs be addressed. Customer acquisition continues to take priority but mobile companies, even the ones that have come out top in our report, have neglected the basics and dismissed the importance of good customer services. Customer service staff should be the ambassadors for their networks and should be fully equipped to help customers understand the basics such as the cost of a call at an off - peak time or the cost of overseas call charges. We will continue to strive for better service for the consumer and plans for the mobile industry to use this customer service rating as a benchmark will help to achieve this.”
    “The report simply highlights the inadequacies of most mobile phone networks across all investigated areas. Hopefully the standard will only get better across the board which in turn will benefit the consumer. We welcome mobile phone providers who would like to work with us in obtaining a common ground in the customer service arena.”

    Please note that the forum space for that product is an archived space.
    There has been no usable activity in it since Spring 2013.
    That archive status and lack of activity suggests the OTN forum site is not expecting it to be continued as a resource.
    I suggest you go that link for the software product, get ALL the documentation and every software component download, then consider spending time within the various Oracle Cloud spaces of the forums.    Go read months of Cloud postings before you think about initiating your own post(s).   You may find that the Social Network product isn't what you initially guessed but is a bigger suite of applications that requires a bigger investment in time and hardware than you choose to do.

  • Does the new ipad 4g gps works without cell phone signal

    does the new ipad 4g gps works without cell phone signal?

    GPS has no need of a cell phone signal or wifi. The only reason you would need a data signal is to download maps to enable the GPS to show you where you are. If you installed an app which includes the mapping, for instance TomTom, you have no need for data reception.
