N97 GPS not working after 2.0 upgrade

Hello
I have a N97 (RM-505) which is currently running 20.2.019. Previously it was running 11.x (don't remember exactly). The problem is that after the upgrade, GPS stopped working: it will never get any signal. I have tried in various places, ranging from the roof of my house to the top of a mountain, with and without cell signal and with and without AGPS (which obviously makes sense only when I have signal). I'm using Applications->Location->GPS Data->Position, which always shows "No connection" and the well-known message "GPS works poorly indoors and in enclosed areas".
Of course all of this was working fine before the upgrade (with the obvious limitations of the GPS signal) and I have checked with a standalone Garmin GPS just in case (it could get signal where the N97 couldn't).
I have tried a hard reset (*#7370#), but the result is the same.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks

Same happens with 5800's firmware update... Nokia doesn't care to make a beta phase before release any update, they like to test with us.

I have an RM-507 N97 as well, upgraded to v20 firmware and with the GPS antenna factory fix.
It appears that the firmware upgrade changes something between the MAPS app, the MAP data and the GPS drivers which causes this issue.
Recommended course of action is to delete and reinstall map data using PC Suite or Ovi Suite.
ps. There is another apparent problem that can cause lack of GPS fix which is currently under investigation. If your N97 is "hot" (i.e. just after charging or long periods of continuous display activity), you may have problems getting a GPS fix. Also, if you run the MAPS app for a long period of time with display active, you may see loss of fix problems.

Most of my apps do not work after 3.1 upgrade

Most of my apps do not work after 3.1 upgrade. I have done a softboot 2 times and they still willnot connect.

Are you running the current version of the 3rd party apps on your iPhone - have you checked for app updates with iTunes on your computer?

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Iphone 6 plus facetime camera not working after 8.1 upgrade

It seems the facetime camera does not work for whatsapp only it works normally.

IBooks bookmarks not working after 1.2 upgrade

I have noticed the bookmarks on my iPad iBooks are not working after upgrading to 1.2 today.
I am unable to bookmark pages when I need to. It only works sporadically.
I have also noticed when closing a book and reopening, the book opens at last bookmarked page instead of last page read.
Please advice about any fix.

Same problem here, Bookmark always worked properly before iOS 5. I too noticed this while reading Steve's biography, ironic??
I have noticed that besides it appearing on previous page, that if I turn to lanscape and chose the bookmark it is appearing on the right of the second page of the two that appears as should be. So I wonder if this is some problem of formating between landscape 2 page view and the single page portrait view?
My two cents but this is sure annoying! I have not seen it jump back like some noticed however, just previous page in portrait view!

Nokia C7 GPS not working after belle update!

Hi everyone, i had a C7, working great till i updated it with symbian belle.
okay here is what i did.
-my GPS was working on symbian anna with maps version 3.06beta
-i updated the phone to symbian belle from symbian anna.
-installed nokia maps 3.06 beta, and replaced the one that came with the update because it had the option of route planning which the installed map did not.
-this was the first time i checked to see if the GPS was working after the update, and it did not work even after i stood in an open field for half an hour.
-i learned that the latest update of nokia maps in fact had route planning, so i used the nokia PC suite to reset the phone software, and then later updated everything that was listed in the software update app.
-my GPS could still not work after i stood in the same damn field for another half an hour.
-now it will just give approximate positions based on the wireless networks, and not give any accurate position, so i cant use it for navigation anymore.
-i tried running the gpsinfoqt app, and it keeps saying searching for a signal, but it never finds one!
Please help me!! if there is any way i could flash the C7 or run a diagnostic or something so atleast i figure what is wrong!

Hi akkudub,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
Have you used Nokia Suite for the update?
I advise you to follow the steps below in order to get your GPS fully working again:
1) Uninstall the current version of Nokia Suite that you have.
2) Clean the registry with a registry cleaner.
3) On your PC, go to Start > Run and type %temp% and click on "Run". Delete all Nokia folders from the folder that opens.
4) Download the newest Beta version of Nokia Suite from this link:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-beta
You will need to sign in to your Nokia account - the same credentials used to log into this forum.
We will appreciate your feedback once you have tried this program!
Once Nokia Suite is installed, please connect your device to it and perform the available updates if any is available. Alternatively please reinstall the current software. Also, click on the Maps tab and download the relevant maps files (Europe, UK etc...)
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
astra2025

Amd video drivers not working after win 10 upgrade

AMD video drivers not working after win 10 install. running on microsoft basic driver, call hp smartfriend assistance. appearently there is a fix but hp will not help unless i pay 100.00$ US because the warranty has expired on my notebook.Have a pavilion dv7 was running AMD Mobility Radeon HD5000 series. Thank you hp will not be purchasing an hp product again. Alienware here i come.

Not much we can do since your model is not supported by Toshiba for Win 10 upgrade according to THIS list so there is no Win 10 driver for your TouchPad. That button, however, is not the only way to disable/enable the TouchPad. FN+F9 does it and you can fix it where, when you plug in an external mouse, it will automatically be disabled.

TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

GPS not working after froyo 2.2 upgrade

I upgraded to froyo 2.2 yesterday and since then my GPS won't work. The only way I can get it to work is to turn GPS on, power off/on my phone, then the GPS will work when the phone is first powered back on. If I turn off the GPS off and then try it again later, it won't work again. I don't normally leave GPS turned on because it drains the battery too fast, but now I have to restart my phone any time I want to use GPS?!?!?

OK. Not just me then. I have 3 Fascinates since last Sept. First couple months, none of the 3 GPS would work.
Then after first verizon patch/upgrade, all 3 worked better. Then after 2nd and finally 3rd EA28, GPS worked
GREAT on all 3 phones. Been working great since the EA28 upgrade.
Yesterday, 2 of the 3 got their Froyo 2.2 upgrade.
Now, the GPS on both of them quit working again. They either never get a signal lock or take over 20 minutes to get one
and IF they do, its a once a day event.
The one that didnt yet receive its 2.2 update, its GPS is still working fine. ( though I'm sure it will quit post update as well).
Since all 3 worked great last 4 or 5 months, I can only assume the gps radios in all 3 are fine and this is some kind
of Android bug. ( i've seen similiar posts in other forums for other phones after gettting various android updates. )
So, $64,000 question for Verizon, Samsung or whomever: How do I fix this now and keep it fixed ??
( I've cleared all cache data I can find, turned off/on, removed battery turned off/on ...Nothing helps on either phone.)
I have not yet tried a 'factory reset' , though I could on 1 of the 2 phones.
Thanks.

F3507g GPS not working after sleep/resume Windows 7

Under Windows 7 on ThinkPads with the F3507g Mobile Broadband Connection, there have been two long-standing problems:
(a) after sleep/resume, the F3507g (Wireless WAN) disappears from the Fn+F5 menu;
(b) after sleep/resume, ThinkVantage GPS does not work (forever displays Fix Type: N/A).
By searching these forums, you can find past threads about these problems, none with a reproducible resolution.
I am pleased to say that the latest driver update for the F3507g (v6.1.10.5 7UW708WW) appears to ameliorate problem (a) in that the F3507g Wireless WAN eventually re-appears in the Fn+F5 menu if you give it a few tens of seconds after a resume. This update is available from:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73681
However, the non-working GPS after sleep/resume is still not solved. Even though the "Wireless WAN" card is present and shown powered-on in the Fn+F5 menu, ThinkVantage GPS (2.60) is stuck on Fix Type: N/A, and the Windows 7 Weather gadget does not automatically discover the location. Both applications work fine after a full Windows restart, but not after a sleep/resume.
I have, however, discovered a work-around which restores GPS operation without a full restart:
Open Device Manager;
Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers";
Right-click "F3507g Mobile Broadband Device" and select "Disable";
Wait for the system to settle down again;
Right-click "F3507g Mobile Broadband Device" and select "Enable";
Wait for the system to settle down again.
Now you can press Start in ThinkVantage GPS, and Fix Type will quickly change from "N/A" to "No Fix", and then onward to satellite discovery. And after a few false starts, the Windows 7 Weather gadget will discover the location.
The fact that this work-around restores GPS operation indicates that the underlying fault is a driver software issue.
The above symtoms and work-around have been verified on both a ThinkPad X301 and a ThinkPad T400s. Neither have ThinkVantage Access Connections installed. The X301, when previously running under Vista with the previous generation of drivers, did not display these symptoms: the symptoms appeared with the upgrade to Windows 7.

Actually mine works fine after applying all the updates available on T400 w/ Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I can sleep/shutdown as much as I want and the GPS works.
By the way, you have to goto your bios to reset your settings to default by pressing F9. Maybe you should try this and see if that solves your problem.
The only GPS related issue that is not fixed is the issue of dual booting into linux. I dual boot into linux, and when that happens the GPS problem re-occurs once I log back into windows. The only way for me to fix the problem again at that point, is if I go back into the bios and hit F9 again, then re-enter windows.
If I were to stay in a windows environment indefiniately, there is no problem. The problem is once I enter Linux, the problem in windows will occur again (maybe the powerstate settings by the linux kernal messes up the settings on the card).

My hands free is not working after the ios7 upgrade, any solutions?

I was paired and working fine with the blue tooth in my 2012 FJ Cruiser, after all of the ios7 upgrades it is still not working, kept thinking 7.0.2 thru 7.0.4 would have the solution but nothing yet. Has anyone found a solution?

Text notification not working after recent software upgrade.

I also have the Galaxy s4 and have noticed issues after the recent upgrade. My device will only vibrate now when receiving text messages, the notification sound doesn't seem to work anymore. I've tried adjusting settings on both my messaging apps until I'm blue in the face and can't seem to make anything work. Other notifications still work ok for the most part. Any ideas??

Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
Thanks anyway!

The copy/ paste function not working after OS 8 upgrade

after OS 8 upgrade my iPad no longer works. It will not copy, then paste . The screen just starts scrolling up on its own. Very frustrating. Ipad Air worked perfectly prior to doing OS 8 install. This *****! Any ideas?

You need to contact MSI to ask them for a new driver and to report your findings: >>How to contact MSI.<<
