Gps doesn't work without a sim card

Does anyone know why GPS on my N900 doesn't work unless my sim card is inserted?
GPS seems to work on all my other Nokias without sim card (although obviusly it takes much much longer to locate me) but on the N900 I don't seem to get a gps fix at all.
Any help gratefully received.

You might like to look at this thread:

If you change SIM it remembers settings from first one inserted so you may need to go to Settings > Location - disable then enable again.
Sorry without trawling way back through posts, I don't know where you are located, for example "Assisted GPS" won't work with TMO USA.

Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect). In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards). The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications.

GPS won't work

I have a 8330 and the GPS won't work. I have Blackberry Maps and Google Maps, each says looking for satelites when trying to find where I am. Alltel tech support says I need to pay $9.99 per month for telenav, but I hope that is not correct, since I was told GPS was on the phone when I bought it 3 weeks ago.
Solved!

Glad it worked for you Doug!!

Warning --- its addictive!!

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Question
After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

Macbook won't work without charger

Hello, I have a late '08 macbook. Originally I had problems with the screen dimming and I took it to a licensed mac repair place and they fixed that. Then shortly afterward the mac wouldn't work unless it was plugged into the charger. At that point I bought a new battery, new charger and updated to 10.7.5. Now the laptop still won't work without the charger. I have tried the trick where you turn off the laptop unplug it and take out the battery hold down power for 5 seconds and then plug in the charger first then the battery. I realize there must be something wrong besides the charger or battery but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea and how much it might cost to fix.
This happened a year or so ago but this is the first time I will need to use it in a situation were I cannot be guaranteed an outlet.

My iPhone won't work without wifi and I can't receive or send iMessage unless I have wifi or 3G can't use Instagram, Twitter or anything to do with internet or messaging, how do i fix it?

For anyone else wondering how to fix this, all I did was turn my iPhone off and then turn it back on.

IMessage won't work without wifi

When I don't have wifi I can't use iMessage. Before I got the ios7 update I could no matter if I had wifi or not, now it won't work without it. Other people can't send me text message is they are still using iMessage. How do I fix it?

Hi Jlm,
Go to Settings>Messages and make sure that "Send as SMS" is turned on. Also, if you want to be able to send longer messages or photos when not on Wifi (i.e., not iMessaging), then also make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on.
Cheers,

GPS doesn't work without Edge/3G?

Been driving around the country this weekend and noticed that with no Edge/3G available (though had it previously to load the Google map) GPS will not locate. Is it possible that Apple has made Location Services dependent on Edge/3G? If so, doesn't this contradict the whole reason for having GPS?

EDGE/3G provide the "assistance" part of A-GPS. The GPS will work without that assistance, but requires significantly more time to localize you (can take several minutes), and requires line-of-sight to three satellites. The cell data connection helps overcome both of those limitations (in addition to providing the Google map to plot your location on).
Hope this helps...

Will the iPad work WITHOUT first connecting to iTunes?

I picked up an iPad last week but I failed to realize that it wouldn't work with my current 10.4.11 version of OSX (G5 iMac - non intel) ... yes, I know, bonehead move.
While I"m searching for OSX 10.5, is it still possible to use the iPad without going through iTunes? I turned the iPad on but the iTunes connection illustration came up and I can't seem to bypass this component. If I connect it to the iMac a pop up window appears stating that it won't work with the current OS ... any suggestions or do I simply have to wait until I upgrade the OS?
Thanks.
Brent

You are posting a problem that has extremely few documented cases, and specifically to you. This is not affecting 99% of the iPads out there, that is not a valid reason to say it is a fact. I have had my ipad since day one and not had an issue such as you are having. So have countless other people on these forums. Yes, you have an issue with YOUR iPad. This does not mean that it will happen to everyone else to the fact that they need to be informed falsely.
The primary objective of these discussions are to educate and inform user on how to fix problems they are having. Yesterday I learned something new about finder while I was helping them with an issue with the dock. Educating and informing does not mean posting about specific case issues as if they were wide-spread when based on the posts they are not.

IPhone 6 won't work without wifi

HI got my iPhone 6 about 3 months ago and it as working perfectly fine but all of a sudden it wouldn't let me use the Internet, iMessage or my social media apps without wifi. My brothers and dad's phone still works fine but I don't get how come mine doesn't. I updated my phone to the iOS 8.1 after two weeks I got it and then I updated it to the iOS 8.2 two weeks ago to see if it will work fine again but it didn't. I don't know if the problem is because I updated it the first time but I'm tried and it's annoying. Help please ! I'm leaving on a trip in a couple weeks and I would like to use my phone without any problems.

Hi Imaggy122,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your new iPhone. If you are having issues with your Cellular Data connection, and/or your apps and internet access only work via WiFi, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

PPV without data connectivity?

Hello,
Is it possible to watch FIOS pay-per-view with a set top box that does not have data connectivity (but does get the TV signal)?
The issue is the wiring in my house is a bit wonky. Some rooms get a full connection to FIOS--TV, guide data, on demand, etc.--other rooms get the TV signal but no data. If I order PPV online or on the phone (not through one of the boxes) can I watch it in a room without data?
Other questions about watching a single PPV event in multiple rooms suggest this might work.
(I've swapped boxes to confirm the issue is the house, not the boxes. The same box will have data in one room, but no data in another. )
Thanks
Edit: oh, and the box is HD QIP 71001, if that makes a difference

You should be able to as the PPV is a linear channel (1000 or 1001). However to watch on that box you will have to order by phone or web since the box can't request authorization due to the lack of data connection (although I am not sure if data connection is required for authorization or if it is done over the TV band data channel). If you get guide data it should work but can't guarantee.

"Get media content now" without data connection?

Hi all.
I have a prepaid sim in my Lumia because I use it very little. When I got my Lumia charged and running 2 weeks ago, I had the equivalent of over $240 credit on my SIM card, "Data connection" was switched on and once the Lumia was running, I sent one single text message with the word "testing" to my daughter. Next day I was horrified when my provider sent me a message "you have less than 10 Francs credit". I called Swisscom and they told me that the day before, my Lumia had gobbled up more than the equivalent of $150 and that THAT day so far it had used up over $80. I felt absolutely sick. Normally 100 Swiss Francs lasts me for a year.
They told me to switch off the Data connection and just use wifi. But now, when my daughter sends me a picture, I just get that blasted "Get media content now" message.
I simply cannot afford the data connection. I could get images and multimedia content messages fine with my late departed and much-missed E7 and even my old Communicator could pick up multi-media via wifi. so why the step back with the Lumia ??? And is there any way I can get e.g. multimedia images without a data connection (I already tried the aircraft mode on/off trick with no luck).
Our entire family have been Nokia customers since they first made mobile phones but by now I am the only one of us who has persevered (thanks to the Communicator then the E7) but I hate this bloody Lumia 900 thing which I received as a replacement for my non-charging E7. I swear I am going to put it on ebay and get myself an Iphone and will never buy a Nokia again.

The 150+ SFr was presumably from a phone software update. I didn't send an MMS message but an SMS = one word only.
I checked that the wifi icon was on at all times but the Nokia seems to look first for G3. Because Nokia didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a manual or user instructions of any kind (or charger or SIM removal pin or headphones) when they sent me this phone, I didn't think of checking the data connection setting to be honest.
Last night I wasted a further 7 hours trying to install Zune on my XP PC.. It said it couldn't install because Media Centre needed updating to Rollup 2 or later. I already HAVE all the Media Centre updates, went to Microsoft, wanted to download it again, they wanted verification but when I ran their verification tool I was told that the verification tool was outdated and to use the later version - yes, and that on the Microsoft website..
After 7 hrs of going round in circles, I went to bed at 5 a.m. and today went to Swisscom and got myself an Iphone 4. I have better things to do than to spend 7 hours trying to install software..
OK, it's another rant but I am mightily dissatisfied with Nokia - even the keypad keeps rolling itself up when I try to enter something. so to enter a 10 digit phone number takes a total of about 30+ taps because the damn keypad disappears before I can tap on a number. Incredible.

IPad 3 - wifi 3G works without 4G connection?

I would like to buy an iPad3 wifi+3G but Im not sure if the connectivity will work properly without 4G connection. My country does not have 4G, just 3G and edge.

Ale-
The 4G iPad uses 3G when 4G service is not available. Your country has 3G now, but may have 4G in the future. I do not think you will have a problem.
