Lenovo A 7000 : GPS is not working

None of my navigation apps (e.g. Google maps) are working. When I tap the my location button, it shows a message 'Waiting for location'. I tried with 'Reset to Factory settings' and tried re-installing phone software as well.

Hi Bearone21, I have selected GPS & Verizon Location services and Google WiFi & mobile network location.

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

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?
Thank you,

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

Tablet 2 GPS receiver not working

I have a four day old tablet 2 model 3679-5XU that I purchased for traveling and using the GPS. I cannot figure out how to get it to function when not connected to WiFi or a mobil broadband connection. So far I have verified that the GNS Bus Driver and Geolocation Sensor drivers are at the latest version (19.14.5401.4). Is it just a matter of enabling the receiver somewhere in the software? I installed the GPS Sensor App and it shows the status as ready with a lat and long, but no altitude and when I turn off WiFi it will not show anything. I did the same thing with the GPSTest App and the results are the same when I turn off WiFi. Reading through the forum I see there are a lot of GPS questions but nothing of this nature. If someone could offer some insight as to how to get the GPS working, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,Roy

After much searching I found a program that takes the signal and converts it to a user-selectable virtual com port.Puff. It works. The program is free to try for 30 day and $14.95 to purchase. Here is the URL;http://www.centrafuse.com/us/centrafuse-localizer When you purchase car and something goes wrong you take it back to the company whos car it is. Tou would not take it back to the airbag company, if you had a faulty airbag. It is Lenovo's problem to fix. They want to blame it on the software. Well, if I call up Microsoft for support they say, "call Lenovo", since your software was pre-installed.If it would not work with existing software available, it should not have been installed./...

Lenovo System Update 5 does not work on my B580

Hello,
the Lenovo System Update 5 program does not work on my B580 laptop.
After 16% of the status bar the program says "there are no packages for your PC".
That can't be true, because i haven't installed all drivers and programs.
I got .NET Framework 4 on my laptop.
What will solve the problem?
Greetings from germany

i also have the same problem with my B480

Lenovo USB keyboard - Trackpoint/Touchpas not working

I am now experiencing the same problem in Win7 as I barely got away with in Vista.
The problem is as follows:
- I have the Lenovo USB keyboard with built in Trackpoint and Touchpad (wonderful).
- When I installed this keyboard in Vista it worked out of the box, but in Windows Update I got a recommended update for newer/better drivers.
- When I installed this driver, the Trackpoint and Touchpad stoppet working - so I had to restore my system and hide these updates in Windows Update.
- So when I install Win7 RTM these drivers seems to install with the system, and therefore the Trackpoint and Touchpad on my external keyboerd does NOT work out of the box. I do not get any updates for this either.
Tried solutions:
- I have tried to install the keyboerd drivers.
- The driver with Hotkeys installs alright, but does not solve the problem.
- The regular keyboard driver will not install, because it says that I there is a newer Synaptics-driver which has to be removed first.
- Well, there are no installed Synaptics-drivers to be removed - probably because these drivers are installed with the system.
- I have also tried to diable the PS/2 driver etc. but nothing works.
--> So, I am actually stuck with my wonderful external Lenovo USB keyboard without being able to use the Trackpoint or Touchpad. The worst although is that I know whats making the problem, but do not know how to solve it...
Can anybode please help, I cannot believe I am the only one having this problem (in Vista or in Win7).
Henrik
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav. I am not sure if it is the same as yours. But I have used the following two drivers (for Vista) and the keyboard has been working fine under Vista. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7. The vista driver seems still working fine.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66917
One issue I found is that I cannot run the setup.exe to get the keyboard driver installed, it will claim something like OS specific program not found. But if you go inside the folder to find dpinst.exe, run it and you are good to go.
And this link for all possible drivers.

Lenovo Yoga 13 Screen is not working

Hi Guys!
Please go through my complete message as it is very 'painful' experience you can ever come across when buying a laptop.
The Lenovo Yoga is not available in Australia. So, I bought the Lenovo Yoga 13" orange i5 128GB from 'adorama.com' for US $999 + UPS shipping $105. Unfortunately the shippment attracted a custom of 185 AUD which I had to pay later. In total, I have already spent 1400 AUD.
The UPS courier service delivered the shipment to my address an hour back i.e. today on 5th July,2013. I was very happy to receive the product but when I switched on the laptop, the screen is not working properly and is displaying a number of vertical colored lines.
To confirm that it is the screen problem, I connected the laptop to my TV with a HDMI cable upon which I could see the windows display on the TV. This clearly establishes the fact that the laptop's screen is faulty.
Next, when I checked the warranty number online it shows that warranty starts from three months earlier than my purchase date which clearly shows that someone registered the laptop before.
Also, the charger I received with the laptop looks to be a used one with scratches and marks on it.
I am afraid, the product I got from Adorama is damaged and maybe a refurbished one as the charger clearly looks to be used before. I am deeply disappointed with this incident as I was very excited to use that product and also importantly had lots of work to do with it.
I contacted Adorama, and they are saying that they might exchange/ refund after seeing the product for which I have to ship back the product to the United States. They have asked me to provide a quotation of the shipment and told me that they will decide accordingly.
Firstly, I dont know how it will work out and next, I cannot trust these people anymore to refund me the money after returning the product. I am anyways losing the money I paid on customs.
Therefore, as being my fellow Lenovo Yoga mates, I request your advise on this issue to me. I would really appreciate whatever it is.
I kindly request Lenovo to look into this matter.
Thank you!
Amer

I have exactly the same problem just a set of vertical lines on the screen. Never before have I had such a pathetic problem except maybe with laptops that are 6 years old.
For further details I have the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13-inch Convertible Ultrabook (Orange) - (Intel Core i7 3537U 2.0GHz Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8) bought from amazon.co.uk ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00CA10NUE ).
The screen lasted 6 days before dying. Just enough time for me to waste getting it perfectly set up before it died. There was nothing to indicate prior to the screen failing that it was going to fail. Turned it off one night and turned it on the next morning and the screen was only displaying the vertical bars.
I'm going to try sending the Laptop back to Lenovo. I actually managed to get through to the Lenovo support - they have quite a good system of dropping the laptop off in a local shop that is then picked up by Lenovo, they reckon to have a turn around of 10 calendar days. I can recommend trying to call the Belgium helpdesk as Lenovo can never outsource the help desk people since they need to speak French and Dutch but usually they will also speak English - start the conversation with "Parlez vous anglais?" / "Spreek je engels?" . Admittedly it will be no use if you need to return the item, but if you just need a bit of technical support it might be a good way to go.

My scroll feature of the Lenovo ThinkPad(red scroll) is not working in the new Firefox 4. It was working fine in 3.6. Can you please fix this as this is very important feature.

The scroll feature(middle button) is not working on the new firefox 4. So because of this I need to move the scroll bar to move the page. This is very irritating problem, if you are a guy who uses the middle button to scroll. Can you please fix this..
Thanks!!!

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

Lenovo G580 boot menu is not working when pressing F2 and F12 key

QuestionI bought a new Lenovo G580 series laptop. After installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit edition, a problem revealed when Lenovo driver get installed.
When I installed Intel HD 3000 graphics driver and restarted laptop, the Window was unable to start normally. It displayed an error, so a recovery program started which was recommended. But this program failed to resolve the problem. Later, I tried again to load Windows normally but the blue screen fatal error showed up.
I attempted to reinstall Windows again, but after restarting window, the boot menu was not showing up after pressing F12 key. F2 key was also not working either.
I spoke to a Lenovo techincal assistance expert and they suggested me to remove battery and charger and press start key for 30 seconds.
My problem still remains the same, and I am unable to access boot menu.
The bios version is 62cn34ww. ls there a way I can get this running again?

If you are successful in entering the bios, pleaes load set up defaults
Save setting by pressing F10 and shut the machine down
Connect the hard drive back and check if can enter BIOS via F2 and F12 to see boot menu

I waited for hours & had to close the apps. when I restart camera gets the message can not connect to camera. I tried several time rebooting but result is same.

Yes,that's the firmware build number.
Can you go to Settings>About phone>System update to check for new system updates.
You can also check for new updates using the PC LENOVO SMART ASSISTANT.
Maybe a new system update will fix the issue.

Lenovo yoga 213 wifi card not working in the new laptop

I purchaed lenovo yoga 213 from Best Buy Boston and have brought to India.From the day one,the Bluetooth and Wifi is not working.On taking to their authorised service centr-Hitech technologies they have tried to replace the wifi card but even they are not able to solve the problem.I am trying to contact Lenovo for replacement of Laptop,but there is no response from them.What should I do?

Lenovo service centre has done all these after getting a replacement card
from Lenovo and again they have reported that the wifi replacement card
recieved is defective ,so they have asked for 2 nd time replacement of
wificard as well as the touchpad which they say carries the antenna for
wifi.The bottom line is i am tired of running around to service centre and
have not been able to use the laptop from the time i have bought the
laptop.I thought if there is a manufacturing defect lenovo,being a reputed
brand will replace the laptop.

Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

LENOVO Z51 MOUSE AND KEYBOARD NOT WORKING AT SAME TIME

I know this question has been asked before, but those solutions do not work for me. I just got my new Lenovo z51 80k60030us and I quickly put a game on it just to test out the waters. ran well. However, I can't move (use the keyboard) and look around (use the mouse) at the same time. I looked all over the internet and understood that it has something to do with "palm tracking" however no one had the solution for my specific mouse/keyboard issue. when I try and change the options under the lenovo mouse, it is grayed out. I tried everything to ungray it, but I have yet to succeed. help please??
