Yet another problem with this tablet: The GPS does not work. Nokia HERE maps: Perpetually "Waiting for GPS".Google Maps can't show location in GPS only mode.GPS Status & Toolbox app never gets past "Looking for GPS location..." Anything to try before I send it back?

If the tablet is less than a year old contact HP. They will ask you to perform a Factory Reset first to eliminate a software issue. To contact HP directly, click this link: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

GPS is not working in my n8

after updating it to belle GPS is not working in my device. nothing works right
maps, drive etc dont getting GPS signals.
all apps which needs GPS are not working please help me

Hi Symbianfear, Welcome to the Nokia Forums.
Firstly please be sure that you have activated A-GPS in your phone settings.
If you have already activated it can you please check that you have the GPS access point installed by going into your Settings, connectivity and then access points. If you have already got the access point profile, please delete it, restart your device and re-add the GPS access point.
If you are still experiencing issues with the GPS please perform a soft reset using the code *#7780# security code by default 12345 if prompted, this will not delete any of your data, however it will restore the phone settings as they where when new.
I hope this has helped

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)
GPU:EVGA Classified Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core
PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

GPS no longer works on my 3G

The GPS on my Iphone 3G no longer works after sotfware update.
Applications like MotionX- GPS and 3GPS worked great before the 3GS and 3.0 was introduced now since the software update the apps cannot get a GPS fix.
Same for the map app that comes with the phone. The blue dot now longer moves smoothly with the map as I travel and is inaccurate just like it was with the old Iphone that relied only on cell triangulation for position.
Help? Is this a hardware or software problem?
Any fix for this?

Have you tried basics from the manual?
Reset
Restore

You could also try turning on airplane mode, then turning it back off.

GPS No longer Works after 2.1

Has anyone else noticed after upgrading to 2.1 that GPS no longer works in google maps. I get the Cell Tower fix but it never locks onto the gps.

I am having a same/similar experience. After 2.1 my GPS no longer works while the phone is on 3g. The map app and any other app using location services will say "unable to locate" this happens even outside. When I turn off 3g the location services work perfectly. Turning 3g back on has allowed the GPS to work about 50% of the time, but not enough to call a true feature of the iPhone 3g since it rarely works with 3g on.

GPS no longer working and Silent Switch malfunction on new 3GS

Hello, wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
My GPS can no longer get a lock on me, it used to work fantastic. It only uses network triangulation now and can never find a satellite.
In areas where it has gotten a solid lock before, it no longer can get a lock. These areas are free of obstructions like trees, buildings, etc. A clear view of the sky, Ive even tried in the middle of an empty parking lot. It seems to me that the GPS is not functioning, yet when its on the battery drains (normally, as it does using the GPS) and the handset gets warm (not hot, Im aware it gets warm).
My GPS used to work flawlessly, I used it to navigate several times with good results. Now it can barely find me on a map, let alone pinpoint me. I installed an app called Motion X GPS which I had planned to use for hiking purposes, I am going to try uninstalling that app and see what it does to the GPS, but I have a feeling it was like this before I installed this app for a short while and just didnt take serious notice.
Should I try a restore - which I hesitate to do - or just bring it in to the Apple store. I hesitate to do that too because I have a 3GS with a nice white screen and Im afraid Ill get one of the yellow tinted ones.

Thanks Phil, funny I actually hadn't thought of that for some reason, This is my 3rd iPhone (2g, 3g, 3gs) and Im usually pretty good about that. This is the first real trouble I ran into with any of them and somehow forgot to do that.
I did it, and it seems better. It still doesnt get a 100% solid lock on me but the blue circle is much narrower now. The app Motion X GPS actually has a GPS satellite signal strength meter on it, and it is now showing 3 bars (still in the red, listed as "weak signal) out of 7 or 8 whereas before it didnt show any. So its an improvement.
Im going to try a restore tonight. I think now I feel it is not hardware related, so feel better about that.
Thanks!

IPhone 3GS GPS no longer working-What should I do?

I have a very annoying problem with my iPhone 3GS.
I have invested a considerable amount of money on Navigation applications and applications that use GPS.
GPS reception started to get unreliable and it was deteriorating over time.
At the beginning my navigation application (Navigon) was losing the GPS signal at random times.
Usually, after every iOS update the GPS reception was fine for a week or so, then problems started again.
Now, GPS is almost not working at all.
All the gps applications on my iPhone can detect where I am, however the precision is in unusable levels. It may show a position 300-400 meters away from where I really am. This happens in Navigon, Maps, etc.
Navigon always shows the red bar on the top telling me that the GPS reception is not adequate.
What should I do? Is there any case that this is a software related issue? Is there any way I can fix this? Some users suggested that I set up as New, but this will be my last resort as I have a lot of data that I want to retain on my iPhone.
Or is this really a hardware issue?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

If you've restored the phone and then reinstalled the SW, it may be a HW problem. There's a way to test to see if the GPS is working in 'standalone mode". It's valid for the 3G, I think it works for the 3GS as well.
On the 3G, the GPS receiver is tied to the cellular transceivers. If it's in Airplane mode the GPS doesn't work. Taking the phone out of Airplane mode, but removing the SIM card (and therefore no cellular connection) it works just fine (OK, it's a bit slower, but it still works).
As a final test, take the phone out of Airplane mode, remove the SIM card and run any GPS aware programme (Maps is good, it's an Apple App, so that removes the 'I wonder if the app is at fault' question). Place the phone in a location where it has a good view of an unobstructed sky, and wait. After 10 or 15 minutes press the "find me" button on the bottom left of the screen. If the "blinking" little blue dot doesn't appear, or if it says that your location can't be determined (there won't be a map), it sounds like the GPS is dead.
BTW, Apple doesn't reply to posts on the forum.
Good luck,

My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?

We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?

GPS DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AFTER UPGRADE TO 2.2

I just upgraded to the version 2.2 software. Since updating, my 3G GPS is not working correctly...anyone else? Location Services are turned ON, but now the locater is only finding my general location...acurate to about 1/2 mile. Before the update, my GPS was locating to about 300 feet at this same location. I suspect that the GPS is not kicking in and the phone is locating postion from WiFi and Cell towers. Any ideas anyone??

My 3G GPS isn't working properly either and if I turn it on, I am unable to receive incoming SMS messages - - if I am able to receive them they are many hours or a day late or worse, it never arrives. I tried sending SMS message to myself but it never returned. Outgoing SMS and incoming/ougoing calls are fine though.
So what I did now was to switch off 3G so I am now left with an expensive regular cellphone with no internet capability. Bummer. Not what I really want - I would have settled for a Sony Ericsson instead if all I want is just a regular cellphone.

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!
Go to Solution.

Glad it worked for you Doug!!
have a wonderful evening and enjy that blackberry!
Warning --- its addictive!!

I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working

I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working, mapa is working, but cant find places or tell me my location... Can ana One help me ????

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

GPS is'nt working on ZTE Open C

I'm starting HERE Maps
It's asking for access to GPS, every time, (i've selected "Save my choice", but it's still asking).
First time it's showed me that i'm at Novosibirsk, Russia, but i'm at Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Now, i see message "Can't find your location".
On status panel navigation icon is visible.
Other apps acting same way, so GPS is'nt working at all.
I've downloaded new firmware (FFOS_EU_EBAY_OPENCV1.0.0B06) from ZTE off. site, installed it, it's solved my trouble with russian keypad, but GPS is still dead.

Oh, i'm idiot.
I've forgot one little thing.
I'm living in house with 1 meter-thick walls of bricks, and i've tried to use GPS at home.
Really sorry about your lost time, good luck, guys ;)

GPS suddenly stopped working

GPS stopped working! Already tried resetting my iPhone. What do I have to do?

Hopefully this thread is still being followed.. I was struck by the comment made by prk60091, where he says going into airplane mode turns off all the radio receivers INCLUDING GPS. I've been preparing for a trip (from the US) to Europe, where I will be in airplane mode so as not to use the phone or the data services. I would, of course, have WiFI turned on, but was going to rely on GPS in the iPhone for map directions, etc. I've tried this, and my GPS does not work at all when I'm in airplane mode. I also turned OFF the WiFi for this experiment. I get NO GPS data at all.
But its hard to believe that going into airplane mode would turn off the GPS signal. That would obviously explain when I'm not getting a GPS signal, but it seems crazy that GPS would be disabled along with phone functions. Can anybody elaborate on this, and maybe also comment on other reasons I can't get a GPS signal. I've tried it in an open space where my Garmin Nuvi GPS DOES get a signal.
Thanks.
