How come 4620 jetpack doesn't know where it is?

Went from a 3G dongle in a BR1000 router to the 4G jetpack... In doing this, apps like four square no longer work, weather and other apps can't locate my location. Why  is this?  Using it as hotspot with iPads and desktop.  This is my only net access as I live in rural area with no cable or dsl available here.
Speed so far is incredible. 20 even 30mbps, doesn't seem to drop out like my 3G did.  Only problem, went from unlimited to 5gb, used limit in 24 hrs. Upgraded to 10gb... And dunno where I'm currently at.
Akeem why nothing larger was available and they said because our customers never need more?   So we don't offer anything larger.  I said, weird aren't you in the business of selling data transfer....   Like I want mores and you don't offer more?
And more is usually a better value...  Ie.  5gb for 50.  And 10gb for 80.  Why over 10 do I pay the 10 buck per gb of the smaller plan? 
Should'nt going over a 10gb plan be 8.00 per GB.  Or is that to logical?
If there is one thing I have learned...  Verizon is anything but logical in their business practices.

Rojo,
Its important to know that 4G LTE capable devices reside on an entirely new network based on SIM card technology.  The old GSM/3G only devices do not perform in the same way as the new ones do.
The best excuse for inconsistencies between the two is that the SIM card network hides behind something called a NAT firewall.  In a nutshell this means that you are not provided a public IP address and external users/services will not be able to talk to your devices.  Specifically, we all appear to have the same IP address when behind a NAT which makes it hard to pinpoint who is who from an outside/unapproved source. 
For most general purposes NAT does not interfere with browsing, email or video content which is what most people like to do on the internet.  Certain things like IP Security cameras, select VPN clients, XBox live and VoIP phones are known to have this same limitation on the new SIM card network.
There are no good/cheap work arounds to this limitation on LTE devices at this time.

  • Siri doesn't know where I live?

    The 'my info' setting for Siri is tied to my contact details, which includes my home address, in full, including post code, with all entries in the correct fields, yet Siri doesn't know where home is. Any ideas?

    Hi
    This is a problem with iOS6 mapping data. Try taking the last two letters off your UK postcode. Then it works (provided you have location services enabled in your settings). This is particularly annoying if you want to use Siri to take you to an address in your contacts.
    This is an example of when an update isn't an improvement.

  • How do I block Google from knowing where I am?

    while a search for just about anything, brings millions of results. when you decide to select anyone of them, it will take you to a preset, based on Google having found your whereabouts. for example I live in London Ontario, my ISP is in Kitchener ONT. when I browse on Google and find where I want to go, I am automatically sent to something near me as a posed to where I want to go. it is as if they know where I am but not where I want to go? I want to stop this from happening. example GNC in the USA, I try to log on and I am diverted to GNC Canada, can't stop it.

    hello mgrubs, this is just how the internet works & you cannot block this information since it is necessary to establish a connection between the server (google in this case) and you. based on the ip address your provider assigns to you, your counterpart will always have a rough idea on where you are based - http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/

  • How come messenger info doesn't sync?

    In the Address Book; the name, address, email, phone number, picture, all sync. But how come the AIM screen name doesn't sync? It shows up in the Address Book on my Mac, but not in the Contacts on my Touch.

    It would appear that Apple, for whatever reason, have decided not to include fields for instant messenger names in the iPod touch Contacts application.
    Even if you enter a new Contact on the iPod touch, there is no provision for those fields.
    Try sending Feedback to Apple about this:

  • InDesign CS 5.5 suddenly doesn't know where Arial is.

    I rebooted this morning and now InDesign dosn't know that this computer has Arial on it. I'm running a demo of Suitcase Fusion 4 and Arial is activated. It appears that all Adobe CS apps are having this problem. All other apps can see Arial. Ideas?
    One thing I noticed this morning when I rebooted was that I had to do a hard restart because 10.7 was hanging this morning. So when you do that, the computer automatically tries to start up where it what shut down from. In other words, since ID, AI and PS were all open when I forced the restart, then OSX wants to re-open all those apps. Since Suitcase was also open, it goes to open that. However, it opened Suitcase after those apps and I got an odd error in InDesign about how Suitcase was not currently open and it said to shut down, open Suitcase and then re-open InDesign. I did that thinking everything would be cool but apparently it's not. I activated a different font in Suitcase and InDesign see's that one now so it's kind of "half" working.
    I also added Arial to users/system/fonts and Macintosh HD/System/Library/Fonts so that I could maybe bypass Suitcase if that was the problem but still nothing in InDesign or Illusrator. Thoughts?

  • ITunes doesn't know where all my tunes are

    I keep my music on an external HD. WHich crapped out. So I copied the songs from the ipod to a new music folder on my computer's HD (making sure itunes knew where it was via preferences). Then when I got a new external HD I copied it all across and reset itunes preferences. But I still get a lot of those grey exclamation marks and the itunes question 'do you want to locate the file'. It seems the folder structures differ from external HD to internal HD. SO I tried 'consolidate library'. Now all I have is thousands and thousands of duplicates in each folder that I will definitely go bonkers if I have to clean them all out manually.
    1. How to easily get rid of all those duplicates?
    2. How to make the library file look for and find all the tunes that currently escape it?
    HELP! I am going daft! Anyone with any ideas? My music is a mess. Luckily the pod is up to date. Should I just chuck everything away and go with what's on the pod?

    i've had so many of these problems. i now know that the ITunes software just doesn't like changing file addresses, it basically can only 'remember' the original one. so, if you move your file from PC HD to EXT HD it just goes 'BLAAAH wots my name again'.
    i've gotta be honest and say that i can only suggest, resetting all your music from the EXT HD. however, i've been in this situation as have others i've talked to, and although i don't know how, thngs have kinda righted themselves for no reason as i've been messing around......i know that sounds mad but i and others have commented on it.
    now, i have learnt to download/rip automatically to the EXT HD, so that a lot of these problems are alleviated in the future.

  • I have a new service provider. How do I make sure Firefox knows where I am so I get local news updates etc. Do I need to contact the service provider or can I do something on my mac?

    Just switched to At&t u-verse now my home page Yahoo is not coming up with local news. I can't remember how to tell it where I am. Any help would be appreciated

    Actually you always use ethernet..
    MBA does not come with ethernet port.. but apple sells both a cheap usb to ethernet and a much more expensive and much faster thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. With ethernet to eliminite this silly situation of setting up wireless over wireless, so if you make any change you instantly drops you off the network. Like cartoons of people sawing off the branch they are sitting on.
    But you can reset.. no reset will do anything at all to the material on the hard disk. You must deliberately erase it.
    Read the info because you may only need to do a soft reset. That is hold the reset for 1sec (2-3sec is fine)  as long as you don't hold it for a full reset.

    Even a full factory reset will not harm your files in any way, (or any further!!)
    I am "concerned" that you have no backup to vital files on your TC. That is not wise. TC are no more immune to failure than any other hard disk.. (actually latest ones use the cheapest green WD drives money can buy) and keeping files in only one location is a receipe for disaster. An external drive is much more accessible.. cheaper and tend to be more reliable. There are too many things to break in the TC.. it is designed as a backup target for TM. Not a file store.

  • How come my iPhone doesn't tilt?

    Okay well I have an iPhone 4. The tilting was doing great until one day I had to restore the phone and when I did that I noticed the tilting didn't work, like for games where you turn the phone to move. But what else bothers me is random times when I'm texting the screen turns to horizontal form and it's sideways, like it should be, but then I'll press the home button and then open up the Messaging again and it's no longer horizontal. The portrait orientation is not locked, so don't tell me to unlock it. It bothers me because it would work and now it doesn't. If I have to restore the phone how do I back up everything on it?

  • How come my iPad doesn't show LTE, only 4G

    I have an iPad mini and enabled LTE on my device. For some reason it only shows 4G. I know I can get LTE because I have it on my iPhone 5.

    Call your Cellular service provider and work with them... You've either exceeded your data limits, they are restricting your device's access to the slower 4G network or you don't have LTE turned on in your Settings - Cellular section.

  • How come ipod touch doesn't have a radio app?

    I have come to a realization that my current ipod touch, a 64gb 4th generation ipod touch doesn/t have a radio app. unlike my mother's ipod nano which has a radio app. i am confused as why some apple products have radio apps by default and not all apple products have a radio app? it would be handy to have.

    I believe, if I am right, that the headphone jack on the iPod Shuffle is made diffrently. When you plug in the headphones in to an iPod Shuffle, the headphones end up becoming an antenna for the iPod. Thus, why it won't work with out it. The iPod Touch is not made so that the headphones do that.

  • HT4009 How come my iPad doesn't accept the payment

    Can you guys fix for me the pilling staff because I can't even download free apps its always ask about abut billing information

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    What happens when you try to buy or download things, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we won't know it's appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you only want to download free items then there are instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • How come Mac Mail doesn't ding when new mail arrives?

    My sound is on.  Recently my Mac Mail doesn't notify me by sound when I have new mail.  I'm running on 10.7.5.

    I checked email several minutes ago.  Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time.  When that's the case it's now using any power at all.  Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail.  When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power.  That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
    You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

  • How come File.separator doesn't work for URLClassLoader as a directory?

    I set as a URLClassLoader URL something like:
    File f = new File("xxx.jar");
    URL url = new URL("file","",f.getCanonicalPath() + File.separator);
    URLClassLoader urlc = new URLClassLoader(new URL[]url,getClass().getClassLoader());
    The problem is, the "platform independent" File.separator does NOT seem to be used by URLClassLoader in the Windows env where \ is the separator. The URLClassLoader says anything that ends with / is a dir, otherwise its treated as a .jar file. Is this a possible bug with URLClassLoader in that it should recongize the File.separator as the end character for a directory? I think it should. Seems to me / is unix/linux, and \ is windows. So if I am running on windows, for URLClassLoader to see a directory, I end up with something like c:\path/ which seems odd.

    Didn't even think about that. Does file.toURL() return the full canonical path? I'll give it a try though, thanks.

  • How come forms central doesn't work with my iPhone?

    Forms Central works great from a PC, but when I try and load the sign in page using my iPhone, it tries to load a page, gets half way, then a new web address comes up, tries to load that page, and goes back and fourt and is stuck in a loop. What's happening?

    I am having this same issue.
