Lenovo Miix 2-8 GPS problem no location

None of the maps can locate me on my new Miix 2. The let windows and apps use my location is turned on? Any solutions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got it working.
I had to install the Lenovo chipset and GPS drivers.
What I don't know is if any of the Lenovo drivers are overwritten by the MS update process, which could kill the location services again.

GPS problem - no location

Hi!
I have a problem with GPS on A1.

If you have your device rooted you can try the following.
Change the line
acNtpServer="10.21.116.63" in acNtpServer="europe.pool.ntp.org"
in file /etc/gps/glconfig.xml (with ES File Explorer, root mode and / mounted writeable)
For US replace europe with north-america.
After modification you must reboot your device.
You should have an active internet connection for the first GPS fix.
The first fix may take up to 5 minutes, all further fixes should be within 15 seconds

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.
Master Reset/Soft Reset:
Factory Reset option 1
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings

System and application data and settings
Downloaded Applications
It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos

Turn off the phone
Press and hold "home" + "end" + "volume up or down" keys together for a few seconds when the device is power off
Once device displays boot information, release keys.
Soft Reset
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
or
Remove battery cover, remove battery and reinstall.Also there is a new update for LG Ally it will be the Froyo 2.2 but there is not release date available at this time it will post on your device when available. Hope this Helps. Leslie

Lenovo Miix 2 8 Control panel freezes

Santa recently brought me a fresh Lenovo Miix 2 8 (64 GB). It's been just fine until I realized I can't execute windows update at all. When I go to control panel and try to access windows update, it changes the topic in the control panel window, but doesn't open any windows update settings. The control panel window then freezes and cannot be closed in any way, can't be moved either. The same thing happens when I try to access language settings in control panel. So basically I can't update windows nor tweak language settings, because the window freezes if I try to do so. When I try to access windows update via the new win 8 UI, it won't freeze or crash as far as I remember, but just won't load anything.
Help me out please! I'm not sure if it's lenovo or windows that's to blame but I don't think I'm keeping the device if this can't be fixed. Couldn't find others having similar problems either. This problem occurred basically straight out of the box, which is strange.

Hi,
I had the same error.
After i deinstall the latest drivers (comes with Windows-Update) of 'Intel(R) Imaging Signal Processor 2400' the camera works fine.
You can deinstall the latest drivers in the DeviceManager under ImagingDevice (known so in english?), then properties for driver and 'install previous driver'.
Please tell us when it works again.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

GPS problem (?) in new iPad wifi?

If I open Map app, iPad can show me my location... but it seems that the gps won't refresh itself. When I am moving around by car.... the gps will only show me the location where i open the map app and stays there and wont follow my moving car, until I re-launch the map app.
Is it a gps problem or does it the way wifi iPad work? Because I used to have an iPad (1st gen) wifi+3g and the map+gps worked fine.

Ouch....
It explains the "problem".
Thanks stedman1.

Lenovo Miix 2 8 brightness

I bought a miix 2 8 inch the last week, i really like it.
There is something strange about the brightness level.
It seems that using the windows slide bar, it reach the maximum level at 50% of the bar.
From the 50% to the 100% of the bar it doesn't change the real brightness of the device.
Thanks

Lenovo miix 2 10 windows 8.1 key

Dear Lenovo support Forum,
I have a Lenovo Miix 2 10"1 without keyboard, 64Gb version with office 2013 home and student license.
On my disk had 16Gb space after my programs installed.
So I tried to save the whole drive to my nas bit-to bit but I could't boot to a linux while i swithced off the secure boot.
I made a new windows 8.1 core installer prepared to Wimboot.
I Installed to the internal drive everything and after the office-updates-drivers-softwares-email-backups i have now 40Gb free space, the CPU freq now on IDLE is under 1Ghz ( better for battery) and i have more RAM.
Now I have a really big problem: I forgot to write down my original Windows 8.1 core key. How can i get it back?
I downloaded a read-write everything software ( x86) but I cannot find a same MSDN?? field at ACPI so I could not get the windows 8.1 key from the BIOS.
Is there any way to get is back? I have all of the SN noumber, etc so how?
Or from this point I have to buy a new operation system?

You can download RWEverything utility from http://rweverything.com/ run it, select table ACPI, then tab MSDM and you can see the key. That command line command works on my miix2, I can't say why not on your computer.

Lenovo Miix 3 1030 Folio Tastatur funktioniert nicht

Ich habe vor wenigen Tagen mein Lenovo Miix 3 erhalten und von Anfang an hat die Folio Tastatur nicht funktioniert - ausser das umstellen in den Flugmodus, dies funktioniert problemlos und somit ist es eigentlich gegeben, dass die Tastatur mit dem Tablett verbunden ist. Nach dam Update von Windows und Akutalisierung aller Treiber ist das Problem immer noch nicht gelöst. Sehr schade, da es sich hier an und für sich um ein gutes Gerät handelt, aber ohne Tastatur für mich leider nicht zu gebrauchen ist. Gibt es zu diesem Problem eine Lösung?

Hallo KJAMP,
danke für deine Anfrage und willkommen im LENOVO-Forum.
Seit wann besteht das Problem genau?
Wurde etwas installiert oder ein Update durchgeführt?
Schönen Gruß, Marcel

Windows Update breaks Lenovo Miix 2 Sensors, system refresh unavoidable

Hi everyone,
Been playing with the Lenovo Miix 2 for a few days now, and I have been experiencing some annoying issues.
I've done about 3x System refresh so far and on my 4th as I'm typing this...
I don't know the exact root of the problem, but I do know that one of the windows update is breaking the sensors causing it to malfunction and breaking some functionalities.
Accelorometer doesn't work at boot, need to disable and re-enable the sensor in device manager.
Trying to use the search or PC settings functionality in Metro UI freezes the tablet.
With each refresh, I've made sure that no driver updates are selected, but that didn't seem to help.
And the most annoying part is refreshing the tablet takes forever... (2-3 hrs)
If anyone knows has the same problem or any insight on what is causing this? please share your knowledge
Solved!

After some research, I found a thread on the German Lenovo support forum, having problems when installing the following updates:
Update Windows 8.1 (KB2887595)
Update Windwos 8.1 (KB2903939)
Update Windows 8.1 (KB2913320)

GPS problem with 3GS

Dont know what's wrong with my GPS service. I can use the "map" app. But when i use "Navigon", it shows that "no GPS service found". I used Navigon before, and it worked perfectly. My friend also has 3GS and the same app. No any GPS problem. I tried to download and install again, but it still doesnt work. Also tried restarting iphone. >.<
Can someone help me? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Apple announced no such problem because there was and is no such problem. This would mean every single 3GS has a GPS problem or failure. Hogwash.
The GPS receiver on your 3GS may have a problem. Hardware can and does fail.
