HTC Desire 510 | Intermittent loss of GPS signal

I so want to believe that Dinesh wasn't just stringing you along...

I have collected my phone on Sunday. O2 Repair Centre stated in a letter that they could not replicate issue however they installed latest software. Here are details:
Android version: 4.4.3
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Software number: 1.08.206.3
HTC SDK API level: 6.25
Kernel Version: 3.10.28-g72f7e8d
and@AABM #1
SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version: 01.02.010_U10251_36.08.40814_F
Build number: 1.08.206.3 CL376910 release-keys I have compared these details with my wife's phone which is also HTC 510. They are exactly the same. So my question is which latest software has been installed in my phone?In the last 3 days I have been testing returned phone. The issue is still the same - GPS losses its signal intermittently. It takes me 30 minutes to get to work and within that time frame it can happen a few times. Signal loss lasts around 2 minutes. You can imagine how frustrating it is especially if you do not know your route.I have been contacted today by Michael from 'Complaint Review Service' team. Here is a copy of his email he sent after our conversation: "Further to our earlier conversation, I've ordered the refurbished phone to the below address and providing there are no issues with stock, you should receive this tomorrow.
As this is a refurbished phone that we’re sending to you outside of our usual process, any future repairs of this phone would need to be done through us. However, if you do experience the same issues, I’d certainly ask the question to HTC as to why it’s not worked on various phones.
I’d suggest keeping your original phone until this issue has been resolved." I have again explained the whole story with HTC & O2. I have told Michael that my wife's phone has got the same issue and more people reported it. I have asked if I can get phone replacement from another manufacturer and I`m willing to pay difference. Michael said that O2 is unable to offer that and they can only offer me a refurbished HTC 510. It seems people from O2 do not want to take ownership of this issue. I have spoken with a few of them and they usually try to use the same version of script:- There is no problem with phone
- GPS may not always work reliably and that is fine
- Issue may be with software which we do not cover
- Contact manufacturer and try to resolve it that way
I`m going to test the one their are going to send to me and take it from there. to be continued...

Lost GPS signal in light aircraft

A friend took me for a flight in his Piper PA28 Cherokee yesterday. My ipAd (1) 3G lost the GPS signal regularly. Yet my smartphone, an HTC Touch Pro 2, kept it consistently.
I'm wondering if the 1969 plane's engine, despite being well-suppressed, could be causing interference that affects only the iPad for some reason? Or any other ideas as to cause?
If it's relevant, I was using the app from Memory-Map.

Loss of Reception/signal on 4S with iOS 6.1.1 update

Since updating to iOs 6.1.1, I have noticed on my phone and my fiancee's phone there has been a loss of reception/signal. As I thought this update fixes an issue that could impact cellular performance and reliability for iPhone 4S. But it looks as if it affected it to where I now no longer get all bars of signal as before the update my signal strength was excellent all bars lit up and receiving signal was excellent since the 6.1.1 update I no longer get a full signal, I get between 2 and 4 bars shown never 5 now since update. I think a fix update should be in order to correct the issue as before it was good now it is terrible. I know others also have been compaining about battery drain on iOS 6.1.1 but I have not seen that on mine or my fiancees phone just the signal strength does not go above 4 on either of our phones like as before they would sit at 5 in our house and anywhere we would travel. Has anybody else noticed that if so please let me know so I know I am not the only to see that since updating to iOS 6.1.1. Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi again, today's journey to the Apple store was worthwhile. Not only did I get a replacement phone, it was still under warranty, but also an explanation as to what may have caused the problem.
According to the technician who assisted me, as the upgrade from IOS 5.- to 6.- is quite large, in the transfer of information upgrade, apparently the programming data for wifi and Bluetooth connectivity was lost, which apparently sometimes happens, this being described as a freak occurrence. According to the technician, if this occurs, it becomes a hardware fault and there is no repair, replacement is essentially the only option. Fortunately as I was within the warranty period, on the spot replacement was available, already with IOS 6.- on it, so was informed that the same problem would not occur.
Upon arriving home, after a minor upgrade to 6.1.2 I was able to put everything back on to the phone so it ran like it did three or so weeks ago. The other advice given was to always hook up to iTunes via your computer to do the larger updates, those that increase in whole number, as those that increase incrementally are usually very minor and are usually an addition of data, not replacement.
I hope this helps others with their problem, mine in the end was resolved within ten minutes in-store. I dread to think what situation I would have been left in if I was not within the warranty period. Good luck to you all!

My iPhone 5 does not get GPS signal

Good day,
I noticed with my iPhone 5 that the map directions never seem to work. Then I noticed my Nike+ app GPS signal always shows as weak and it doesn't work. I never had the problem with my iPhone 4S so I thought maybe the new iOS. I took my old 4S in it's case (now my wifes phone) and started the Nike+ on it and on my iPhone 5 (no case) sitting next to each other. The 4S got a strong GPS signal. The 5 got nothing...
Has anyone out there experienced the same thing? I'm trying to determine if this a global 5 thing or just my phone.
Thanks all for your replies.

For the record - After calling support and running some diags I took the iPhone 5 into an Apple store. The phone was replaced and all is good. So this turns out to be a hardware issue, not an app or software issue.
Thank you,
Bud

How to generate a gps signal using the PXI-5671 after generating a gps binary file using the gps toolkit

Hi,
I am trying to test a GPS receiver and would like to use the PXI-5671 to stream a GPS binary data file which was generated using the GPS toolkit. I tried using the RFSG Arbitrary Waveform Generation.vi but it doesn't work. Is there a sample code that will allow me to do this?
Thank you.

Hello,
The NI-RFSG driver certainly allows you to stream waveform files to signal generators without the use of the GPS Toolkit, as shown here. However, the NI-RFSG driver does not provide the user with out-of-box applications that can stream GPS waveforms with Almanac and Ephemeris information to various signal generators. For this reason, the NI GPS toolkit will be needed.
The only alternative is that you will gather your own Almanac and Ephemeris files and implement your own functionality using the base RFSG driver to generate and stream the GPS signals. This is something that you would need to do on your own, which could prove to be difficult, thus making the GPS toolkit the best option.
I hope this information helps.

I purchased my IPad in June and it keeps losing the GPS signal why is this?

I purchased my IPad 3 in June and it keeps losing its GPS signal why is this please? I have not been able to use the NavFree or SatVav applications or search google whilst travelling

If you mean adding a GPS receiver into the iPad then no, an iPad can't have it's hardware changed. There are stand-alone GPS units that work with the iPad e.g. Bad Elf GPS receiver (I haven't got one but I've seen it mentioned on here a few times)

5230 GPS fix problem (have gps signal but no gps f...

hi
i have a nokia 5230
software version V20.0.005 / 23-03-2010
custom version 20.0.005.315.02 / 29-04-2010
type RM-588
not updated
CODE 0597862 - Latest available software for your device Version 20.0.005
GPS positioning methods:
A-GPS = OFF (I dont have/dont want data traffic charge)
IntGPS = ON
BlueGPS = OFF
Network Based = ON
Positioning server use = disable
Software used:
Default nokia gps applications - GPS positioning (not the ovi map)
Nokia sports tracker v3.50(0) (S60 3.1) 2-08-2010 (mostly for GPS logging)
Garmin XT
The problem - GPS fix is taking (sometimes) very long periods from 1 - 5 hours or in same cases it does not make a GPS fix. Other times (about 25% of tries) it calculates GPS fix in a few minutes (1-15min).
I use the GPS only outdoors within open sky and hill/forest (not in urban, tall buildings). Usualy is clear sky or clouds, but not storms.
The Satellite info page displays me the satelite signals, and usually I have about 6-11 satelites bars and from them about 4-7 with more then 75% signal.It is very frustrating to have gps satelite signal and not have a gps fix. This is obvios a software related problem not a weak gps signal.
DOES anybody had this issue and know how to solve it? I suspect a firmware bug... but I dont really know.
Thank you.

My new 5230 takes ages to get a GPS fix. Nokia suggested the following. It seems to have given me route not found errors but I'm still testing. I reproduce Nokia's suggestion here it case it helps you...

N85 GPS Signal

Good day,
I have installed Garmin Mobile Xt 5.00.10.
Now both Nokia Maps and Garmin Mobile don't receive GPS Signal.
How can I do?
thank you

I sent it to the repair facility since it was past 30 days (bought near end of june). Replacement phone gets some reception where I didn't get any before but reception is still worse than the 2610. Either Nokia's build quality is worse for smartphones or the N85 has a design flaw (or Palco/Nokia Repair Center didn't send me a "replacement" and this phone is my original with a new IMEI)
People having reception problems with the N97 worry me. It looks like the N-series is getting weaker reception: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=155723&query.id=458011#M155723
One thing is it might be because my SIM card isn't seated correctly. I looked up "gophone weak signal" and saw stuff about the iPhone getting weak signal because the SIM card wasn't seated correctly. This makes sense since the 2610 uses a sort of latch to hold the SIM down while the N85 only slides in. Some iPhone users report better signal by attaching some tape to the top of the SIM card to hold it tighter in the slot. I'm thinking about trying something similar to see if it will help any, but that could void my warranty
I tried sliding out my SIM card a little until it was up against the battery to see if that would seat it better. I tested internet on EDGE and seemed to work faster/better but not sure. Is there a "field test mode" that I can go into with the N85 to see if anything I try is helping?

How can I define the intermittency factor of a signal?

Hi everyone,
I want to ask how can I determine the intermittency factor of any signal.
The intermittency factor is a ratio of the time of high frequency distortion in the signal to the total time of the signal. So, Intermittency=time_turbulent / time_total.
I have attached an image file and original vi with source vis to show the high distortion time in blue lines. I want to determine the total time of these distortion in the blue lines. Then I will divide this total time corresponding the high level distortions in the blue lines by the total time of the signal to calculate the intermittency.
How can I achieve this? Could you please help me? Regards,

mechen,
It is not clear to me whether your problem is (1) how to measure the time or (2) how to determine the presence of the high frequency distortion. The counters to which Paul B. referred are related to (1). I cannot look at your VI from home, so I do not know what you have tried.
You generally get better help on this Forum if you ask very specific questions. Asking someone to do the whole job for you, especially when you have not provided all the specifications, is much less likely to get you the help you want.

Does the iPad 4th generation wifi have built in GPS signal?

Is there a built in GPS signal in the ipad 4 wifi?

Navigation that works for a8-5500 and how to fix GPS signal

Found out that these navigation systems works fine with at 5500-f tablet:
Navigon.
Route 66.
Sygic.
iGO Primo.
If you now of others that works (TomTom, Navfree etc), please let us know
However, the A8 5500f and other tablets from lenovo seems to have a problem with the GPS fix. It takes forever to acuire a decent signal. There is a soloution to this problem:
A) Have WI-FI ON, if possible.
B) Launch the navigation, eg Route 66.
C) After some seconds, turn off WI-FI.
D): Ready!
This procedure will allow the navigation to download the assisted GFS. But it seems like the WI-FI, when ON, is making it difficult to reciewe a clear gps signal. If no WI-FI, it will take a minute or so to reciewe a clear GPS signal without A-GPS.
There is also a third solution. Download a app that is keeping GPS alive all the time. Like ActiveGPS - GPS booster or so. This will allow you to keep WI-FI ON all the time. How much batteri that will eat up, i dont know.

Hi,
When you stram from a bin file repeatedly, it will run first time but will lose lock because when it comes tothe beginning of the file, its time suddenly jumps and the receiver does not accept this. For example, lets say your bin file is from GPS time t1=0 to GPS time t2=30000s. When you loop back around the file, the time increases from 0 to 30000 and then jumps back to 0 and that is not acceptable by receiver. You will need a direct streaming from 5671.
I can put that up for you soon if you want.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
Also see:
Recover Older Versions of iPhone Apps After Updating — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
The bakup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
If you still have the one 2G with the Netflix app, delete the new NetFlix app from her computer anf then transfer iTunes purchased to the iTunes library by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then sync to her iPod. You may have to sign the iPod into the account that purchased it to sync it.
