I can't get a gps fix after 2 hours of waiting.

It's really sad that just by updating 2 latest fimware(in this case from belle to belle reresh 111.040.1511.c05.01), i haven't been able to get my position through the built in integrated gps. I have tried activating the A- GPS and standing in an open space free from obstructions like trees and tall buildings for thirty minutes to get the first fix .I have also tried downloading software like legpsdata which shows between 10 - 13 gps satellites in view but no satellites used and also soft resetting (*#7370#) and hard resetting it. I have changed the positioning server to supl.google.com and proritising it but to no avail. This is really frustrating to me because i always enjoyed using the gps feature of this phone, which competes favourably with most stand alone gps available in the market. Please i hope i can get any form of assistance from the community members. Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same issue with a C7. GPS position search is very low. I'd read several topics in this question, but still did not find solution. I cant find suggested LeGPS, but I installed infogps which is not able to find satelits in 20 mins. I want to use A-GPS, but does not work at all. it looks, cant find network(which works). When I start maps the data sign is blinking (3G) but data traffic remains 0,0 kB. dont know why. I have an older 5230 (I beleive) which is able to position in 3-4 secs inside the house and I can see the increasing data traffic number. When I compared the settings with the 5230 and there I can provide the mobile access point (which network connection to be used) which cannot be setup on the Belle.
settings:
positioning - positioning methods: Assisted GPS, Integrated GPS, Network Based
positioning server - server settings - supl.nokia.com , only in home network: No
map settings:
connection: online
Network destination: Internet
Can anyone help? is there any workaround how to force A-GPS?
Nokia Belle Refresh 111.040.1511
map version: v3.09 12wk20 b01
Thank you!

Can't get a GPS fix on my N95

Hi all, I can't get a GPS fix on my current position. it is locked in berlin, Germany (where I have never been). I live in england. updated firmware toay that didnt work. walked around in the open trying to get a satelite lock, the best I got was five white bars. no black ones. any help would be much appreciated!

Hi patriciaanne3
You might like to look at this press release from Nokia a couple of days ago: http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1140680
In version 12.0.013 you have an added feature in the menu with Network connection, internal GPS and external GPS, there is a fourth category A-GPS = Assisted GPS.
This enables N95 with internal GPS to establish position indoors, which is not currently the situation in earlier software versions.
"Assisted GPS, or A-GPS, is a technology that uses an assistance server to cut down the time needed to determine a location using GPS" You are using the power of a mainframe computer to cut down the number crunching needed to process position of four satellites needed for three dimensional position for first fix (TTFF= Time to First Fix) As mentioned in Nokia press release there is also scope for network provider to use mast location as adjunct to speed this process.
If you are near a WLAN of course this can provide network connection for assistance server or you can use GPRS as appropriate.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

N97 Mini can't get a GPS fix on Ovi Maps but insta...

Yeh, well I got my N97 Mini yesterday and it instantly fixes on a satellite on Google maps but when I try Ovi maps or the positioning app (Menu> Apps> Location> GPS Data> Positioning), it doesn't connect at all! I'd really like to be able to use Ovi so what can I do?

Google maps uses the cellphone mast and the internet to determine your position, apart from the GPS on your device.
On Ovi Maps or Positioning app, have you configured it to have A-GPS activated? Furthermore, Google Maps is fast in getting a "map" because it only downloads maps on the fly, of maps of the area on screen, while Ovi Maps is trying to download the maps for an entire country.
Go to Menu>Apps>Location>Positioning>Positioning Methods. Make sure you have A-GPS and network based turned on (you can use it turned off if you want, but turning them on will make the initial fix faster). In Positioning Server, make sure that the server address is supl.nokia.com, and the access point is defined.
The first ever fix from a phone can take anywhere from 5min to 45min, depending on various factors. Also, make sure that you have downloaded the maps for your country into your phone.

My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed?

My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed or replaced?

Rice is hit or miss but if you can (assuming you live in a home with a furnace) sit it up with the speakers facing down on an air flow register for about 10 minutes. The heat from the furnace will not harm the sensitive components and will dry the phone out nicely including the display layers. DO NOT USE a hair blower! The iPhone is capable of drying out much more easily than phones with removable backs as the iPhone while sumbermeged in liquid (for a short time) will take on limited moisture hence can be dried and keep on keeping on. My dauhter dropped her iPhone 5 in a toilet and it was fine after spending 24 hours in rice and 10 minutes on the air register while the furnace was producing heat.
One last thing. DO NOT POWER ON the phone until the drying out efforts have been completed and certainly DO NOT plug it in.

My Droid Ultra cannot get a GPS fix nor a 4G signal

For the past couple of months my Droid Ultra cannot get a GPS fix or a 4G LTE signal. I've tried the following:
1. Downloaded and ran GPS Status to attempt to get a fix and clear the GPS data.
2. Start up in Safe Mode.
3. Check for Software Updates.
4. Re-seated SIM card.
Before I'm forced to do a full factory reset (not even sure that will fix it), is there anything else I can do to see how to get either or both of these functions working again? Thanks!

Thanks for the swift reply Ruth!
I don't recall any major changes a couple of months ago.
I checked Network Mode and it was set to "Global". I switched it over to LTE/CDMA but still only get 3G.
The GPS issue seems to affect all apps that use it. I initially noticed the problem using the navigation tool on Maps (by Google). I've also been able to get a fix using Waze, GPS Test and GPS Status & Toolbox.
In Settings>Location I have set to ON and the following
E911 Only
Mode: High accuracy
Location Services: Google Location Reporting

I've had a network extender for 2 years and since August I can't get a GPS signal

I have had a network extender for over 2 years and have had no problems with it. Since August, I have had nothing but trouble. The GPS signal went out and I went through all of the Verizon troubleshooting tips and nothing worked. They sent me a new one and it has worked for about 2 weeks however now I have the same exact problem, the GPS is red and I haven't had a GPS signal for 2 weeks now. What is going on? How is it possible that after over 2 years of having no issues, we can't get a GPS signal?

I spoke with another Verizon tech rep and he was going to open a network trouble ticket however first he needed to gather some information. He directed me to this site http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx
to get info on the speak of my computer and IP connection however when I began the test, there was an error and it couldn't measure my VOIP connection. The Verizon rep said that there isn't software in the network extender and that it's based off the VOIP. So he suggested I call my internet provider and tell them that I'm trying to use a VOIP and for some reason it's not working. He suggested I tell them I'm trying to use Vonage and not Verizon though. Anyway, I'm going to call Comcast tomorrow and provide them the information that I got off the http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx site. Not sure if that will help you but I will keep you posted as to what Comcast tells me.

I can not get itunes to open after I have downloaded it and closed it and tried to get bck into it

I can't get itunes to open after i download it. I close it to come back to it and it won't open or anything like it wasn't downloaded at all. Help please

I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3. If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before. If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top. The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears. When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it. when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away. If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window. It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

Actually, wrong.
The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
Good luck.

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud. (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4 I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

You can restore the phone and when prompted to restore choose from icloud account. BUT MAKE SURE there is 1.) an icloud backup for your phone. 2.) you are using the same apple id.

Hi Clembo60,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your text messages are missing after an update on your iPhone. If you have a backup of your device on either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup and bring your information back. Please review the attached article, which covers how to back up and restore from backups, for more information.

Can't get icloud to restore after crash from ios 8.1 update, says server not avaible, any suggestions?

Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
•Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.
