N86 GPS won;t turn off with Ovi Maps 3.04

Ovi Maps 3.04 seems to have introduced a serious bug on the N86, in that after Maps has been run twice, the only way to turn off the GPS receiver and get rid of the GP icon is to switch off the phone.
Plenty of reports of same on the Nokia Ovi Maps Beta forums, see
https://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-beta-for-mobile/bugreport/gps-receiver-not-turning-off-on-e...
Please can we have a fix for this urgently as it kills the phone's battery life - which is bad enough as it is.

I am experiencing this same problem with the GPS icon showing after exiting Ovi Maps 3.04 on my Nokia N86 8MP NAM version running the latest firmware 30.009.  . 
This problem doesn't happen on my daughter's 5230.  So I know it is certainly a problem localized to the N86 8MP.

  • GPS won't turn off

    IiPhone 5, with latest available software- GPS symbol won't turn off. I have shut down all apps (home button twice, cleared all apps in bottom row) but its still on. This has only started happening in last couple of weeks. It's sucking up battery really fast, which is really frustrating as battery life seemed to have improved a bit since latest OS. Any ideas? Thx

    Thanks- Tried this- no go (and i like my Google app, so it going back on  )
    Also tried turning phone off and back on, syncing, but LS remains defiantly on!
    Any other ideas?

  • Arrow for gps won't turn off

    The little arrow on the top right corner is black and has be on for days i think it's draining the battery faster I've closed all apps but it's still on how do I turn it off?????

    Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.  There you will see a list of every app that has permission to use your location (that's what the little arrow means).  You can turn off any app you want in here or you can turn off location services all together using the top switch.
    The legend at the very bottom of the page will help you figure out which apps are currently using your location and which have used it recently.
    You are 100% correct that this will be draining your battery until you cut it off.

  • N82 turns off with Nokia Maps

    My N82 turns off several times when I start applications like Nokia Maps. How can I resolve this?

    Hi hugo_q
    Apart from need to backup essential data first, I would have suggested reset to "factory settings" by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lockcode unless altered by yourself) and then install latest OVI Maps version from here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-n82/
    As these older S60 3rd FP1 devices are shorter on phone memory it is usually best to install just after carrying out reset. You did say in first post that applications like Nokia Maps caused issues so perhaps it needs a clear out. Also assuming here that you have v35.0.002 firmware installed.

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle.  It won't turn off and it won't come on.  anyone know what is wrong?

    My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen.  It won't turn off and won't come completely on.  Anyone know what is wrong?

    See if this lets the iPad start up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • My ipod touch is disabled and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize the device and i can't see the serial number on the back

    My NOSY (now ex) husband did something to my ipod touch and it is now disabled. It was dead and I charged it and NOW the sucker won't turn off. When I connect to itunes i see a message that says i have to UNLOCK it with a passcode. I tried to get apple support but they want my serial number. Well...the ipod wont turn on!!! I've had it at least 6 years and have moved and I can't find my paperwork and WHO can read that serial number on the back? I know its kind of outdated (third generation, I believe)but its mine, I love it and it has ALL my music on it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HP Color Laserjet 3550 - the "attention" light won't turn off

    I've tried everything I can think of for weeks but I can't get the "attention" light on my HP Color Laserjet 3550 to turn off.  It originally came on when a page on from the manual input tray got stuck maybe 20% of the way in.  It was a real easy fix,  I pulled the page out and now the "attention" light won't turn off.  So I can use the printer at all.  I've had this printer about a year. I purchased it used.  I've always had the manual feed tray as the default because I use this printer mostly for envelopes and less than 81/2 x11 printing as I have an old workhorse HP 4+ for all my straight 81/2 x 11 printing. I've rebooted. I've unhooked cables and the router.  I've opened up the printer and removed the casing (the plastic apparatus on the door)  and replaced it. The router is a 2Wire HomePortal 1800HG.  I'm just baffled here I've printed so much with the manual feed tray and I've had allot worse things happen that I've had to fix.  Now a simple stick like this and the light just wont' go off.

    HI Vern,
    Where did you bought the printer? may you bought it from a different region than your current one?
    What is the exact cartridge number of both the black and the tri-color ink cartridge, as well as their product number?
    I bought the printyer in the US and the cartridges also came from the US,  probably no the same state.  Cartdridge # 97,  black # 96.  I don't see a product number.  This is the same # that was in the printer before and the same one I always used.   As soon as I pull it out the light goes out,  and on again as soon as I install it.  This is before the printer even cycles through it's "new cartdridge" routine,  if you know what I mean.
    thanks for the reply

  • My Screen Saver won't turn off on my I-Mac. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have an I-Mac that every once in a while won't turn off it's screen saver when I move the mouse. I can see the mouse move and switch to the screen with the caculator, but I am unable to get the screen saver to stop and view the screen proper.
    It has been updated with mavericks, but was doing this before the update. It's set to update on a weekly basis, so It should be good in that department.
    so far, any suggestiosn I have been able to find haven't stopped this from happening. i'm looking for a way to exit out of the screen saver.

    Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.

  • My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I've tried the reset method,  holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either.  Help ??

    My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work.  I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted).  All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

  • While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

  • HP 2210xi all in one printer won't turn off so I can try resetting it.

    I have a error message: Remove and check cartridge. I have removed both cartridges, cleaned them and cleaned the points on the printer. I tried to turn the printer off so I can unplug the power cord and see if resetting will help. Pressing the on/off switch does not turn the printer off. I have not tried downloading firmware updates (something I've never done) and will try that if anyone thinks it will help. I've read that my next step would be to buy new cartridges, but since the printer won't turn off I'm concerned that I'll be stuck with $50 worth of ink and still need a new printer. Any help will be appreciated!!

    Hi @3Friends ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you are having a problem with the scan to email feature on your Photosmart 7520.
    I would like to help you.
    Try setting a manual DNS.
    Here is a link, to a post by happytohelp01, that has some nice screen shots and the steps.
    It is for a 7510, but the steps will be the same.
    Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
    If that does not get the scan to email working, you may have to remove, then enable the web services.
    This will be kind of like an uninstall/reinstall, for the scan to email and ePrint features.
    If you have a custom ePrint address, it will be lost.
    Not lost for six months, or a year, but forever.
    Just touch the ePrint icon on the printer
    Go into the settings sub menu, then scroll down and chose remove web services.
    It will bring you back to the main screen, just touch the ePrint icon again, and enable the feature.
    After that go to scan to email and set it up again.
    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
