N97 - How to Get Perfeckt GPS Reception

Get perfect GPS-operation in your car with this simple modification that will not void warranty:
First find some metal tape. Cupper or aluminium. Put two 120 mm pieces of tape together, glue to glue, but leave 20 mm at one end. Let the protecting paper sit on sticky surface. Cut stripes 10 mm wide. Now you have a few "antenna-boosters".

Remove the back cover. Take away the protecting paper from the antenna booster.

Position the antenna booster onto the GPS-antenna.

Now the GPS reception is perfect also inside a car.

If you're going to buy stuff, and bodge things, to make it work, why not just buy a cheap external bluetooth GPS unit like these?

I have several cheap external bluetooth GPS units, and they all do the job perfectly, with no work whatsoever. They all cost around £10 GBP.
The big advantage of an external unit is that, apart from the better antenna, it takes the hard work away from the phone, leaving the phone just to redraw the maps, and reposition the arrow. The less the small phone memory and processor has to do the better.

How to get money back for Nokia n97?

Hi Guys!
I gave up with Nokia N97!!! I have a lot of problems with it. All of them are known. While this 2,5 months of using the device I was so **bleep** off and felt very uncomfortable while using it! Is that what we paid $700 for?? To see how good it is in the official video commercial and how damn SLOW, buggy and how bad the hardware is? I waited for software update and was hoping to see nice and fast device, oh! and working GPS! Instead - it's still the same "smart" which is most worse on nokia market. That's enough!
So now I have this question: How to get money back for Nokia n97 after 2,5 months of usage? or maybe exchange to n900? I will call to customer care center soon but maybe someone of you have done this already and you can give some tips?
Thank You!
Cheers
Hi guys!

How can I get the gps coordinates on my ipad which was stolen today?

My ipad was stolen today, how can I get the gps coordinates to report to the sherriff?

If Find My iPhone (iPad) was turned on on your iPad and the iPad is on and connected to the Internet you will be able to locate it. Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID and password. If the device is off or not connected to the Internet you can send a signal to lock or erase the iPad but that action will not complete until the iPad is connected to the Internet.
If you did not have find my iPhone turned on there is no way to track your iPad.

How do I get a GPS file from iPhone 5S

How do I get a GPS file from iPhone 5S

What do you mean by a "GPS file"?

After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again. I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic. I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay?? Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
Thank you in advance.

Additional things to try.
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.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore on it and it is working fine now. However, when I did the restore it did not load the Nike app that was factory installed on my ipod. I use this app daily. Any idea how to get it back

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore to factory conditions and it is working fine now. However, it originally had a factory installed Nike+ app on it and it did not install with the restore. I use this app daily with the running chip to log my workouts. Anyone know how to get this app back from Apple? Loading the Nike app from the app store is not the same thing as you need gps running continually for it to work (as with an iphone). Can't have that with my ipod unless I'm connected to wifi. Help?? Thanks.

If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

How to get the last received notification timestamp when app in background

Hi All,
We are developing the app in windows phone Silverlight 8.1.
We need to show the last received notification time stamp even when the app is in background.
When the app in foreground, I can get the timestamp.
Since we cant write the background task for the Silverlight phone 8.1 app, I don't know how to get the time stamp of the last
notification(toast/livetile/badge) in the app for display.
Can anyone help on this.
Thanks,
Meena

Yes, continuous background execution is not supported but you can use background tasks.
(Continuous background execution in this context refers to the special run state permitted for GPS Navigation apps.)

How To Get AppleToCare About You (iOS7 wifi solved)

I recently encountered the now seemingly infamous iOS7 upgrade wifi bug. After upgrading to iOS 7.1.1 my wifi was subsequently knocked out. After reading skimming the forums and trying a few of the suggested work arounds I was still unable to get my wifi working (at all). I decided to wait for the next software update assuming Apple would fix the bug. What can I say? I like to believe people are inherently good and accountable. No such luck. When I went back to the forums for a better understanding of the problem I was (somewhat) surprised to discover the magnitude of the issue. For me, the end result was a new FREE iPhone despite my warranty expiring several months ago.
Try all of the (reasonable) suggested solutions. They did not work for me but that does not mean they will not work for you - no seriously actually try them:
I turned off wifi and bluetooth, set the phone to airplane mode, turned it off, left it off for several minutes, turned it back on - Nothing.
I reset my Wifi Router - Nothing.
I reset all Settings - Nothing.
I reset my Network Connection - Nothing.
I did a Soft Reset - Hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously and do not release until after the screen goes black and the apple logo appears. - Nothing.
I did a Hard Reset (aka Factory Reset) - BACK UP YOUR PHONE FIRST. I connected to iTunes and performed a backup then hit restore (within iTunes). This can be done directly from your phone but if you're here because you're experiencing wifi issues your phone is probably not backed up to iCloud.
Genius Bar. BE POLITE but firm and know your stuff. They don't owe you anything. Well Apple kinda does, but the employees in the store didn't break your phone so don't act like they did. At the end of the day Apple wrote a buggy code and isn't acknowledging the problem or compensating it's loyal customers. The only way Apple will be held accountable for leaving so many customers out to dry is if customers demand it. However, the Genius Bar is not the place to take out your rage. When I went into the Genius Bar I explained the issue I was having and the steps I had taken in an attempt to fix it. I let her run all the tests and tricks she wanted (knowing full well they weren't going to work). She politely explained to me that I would need to purchase a new phone. I explained to her that I could not, in good conscious, give a company money to solve a problem that they caused. (Some people are crying conspiracy on the part of Apple to get people to buy new phones but I haven't drank the punch yet. - I only took a sip.) I asked if she could do anything else for me. She told me that AppleCare might be responsive to my issue despite my expired warranty as they are a separate entity from Genius Bar and have more authority to help customers. I (sincerely) thanked her (several times) for helping me and asked if I could speak to a manager just to see if there was anything else they could do in store. She said absolutely and that she would "grab a nice manager". I spoke with the manager and briefly explained the issue. I then explained my issue lies primarily with Apple's business model. I, personally, take excellent care of my devices and expect them to last more than a year. I expect that when I buy a device with a premium reputation and a premium price tag that it should be supported by the company for a reasonable amount of time. The iPhone 4s is still being sold in stores and Apple is already neglecting 4s customers - (WILDLY) unacceptable. The manager was very nice about it and expressed that I made valid points and my frustration was justified but yet no solution.
AppleCare. After stopping in the Windows store to check possible new phones I trudged home. (Despite my fortunate result I still have a sour taste in my mouth from Apple's method of forcing customers to spend money unnecessarily on constantly changing but marginally improving products. I'm now seriously considering a Windows tablet to replace my aging MacBook.) Anyway, when I got home I called AppleCare and had a very similar exchange with the associate on the phone as I'd had in the store and was subsequently transferred my to a manager. Again, I was extremely polite to the associate and grateful for the help but made a firm point of dissatisfaction with Apple. When I got on the phone with the manager our exchange was quite short but he acknowledged that because the issues arose from a software update causing a hardware problem Apple would compensate me. (Yes, software can physically affect hardware. The CIA uses code to blow up bomb detonators masked as cell phones. It's dope. There's a TED talk about it.) In the end I got a new iPhone for FREE (with a standard replacement fee - ok Apple you won that round. It's still significantly less money I'd spend on a new phone from Apple or elsewhere).
Moral of the story: Be polite but demand more from the companies you made (filthy) rich. Companies don't care about their customers as much as they should and we can't sit around and wait for them to behave themselves. We need to demand it (even if it ruins our Sunday afternoons). I'd also like to make it known that several times during these exchanges that I'm probably ditching Apple for good. If you use that approach you should be ready to back it up. I'm probably not going to buy another MacBook as I'm a grown up now doing actual work and Apple's inability to play nice with others makes it really difficult to run much of the software at the level I need. (Programmers, you know what I'm talking about!) As for phones, I require much less of my phone. Beyond, you know, using it as an actual phone, I really only use the GPS, music, photos, and web browser so I've always been a fan of the iPhone. After this, however, I don't know if I'll be getting another. I don't like spending money when I don't need to, especially if it's just making fat cats fatter.

Beyond, you know, using it as an actual phone, I really only use the GPS, music, photos, and web browser so I've always been a fan of the iPhone. After this, however, I don't know if I'll be getting another. I don't like spending money when I don't need to, especially if it's just making fat cats fatter.

win8 should be installed on the big HDD.
If you have enough computing skills Win8.1 Update could be installed on the small SSD using the new feature - WimBOOT.

Using ios 5.0.1 in an iPhone 4. Can't get the gps to turn off in the Reminder app even though I do not have a location reminder set. Battery life suffers because of it. What can I do other than keep the app turned off all the time in settings?

Installed ios 5 and created a location reminder to see how it worked. The gps icon came on and I expected it would because how else would the phone know where I'm at.
After I was reminded and marked it as complete I also deleted the reminder from the app. The gps never went off and the only way I can get it to turn off is by switching the app off in the location settings.
Installed ios 5.0.1 and the same thing. I turned on the app in the location settings to see what would happen and I was again reminded by location to the same reminder. It said in the alert that the reminded was 28 days old. Like I said I deleted the reminder from the app. Somehow it's still in the apps memory and I have no idea how to get rid of it for good.
Thank you,
Marilyn

How to get coordinates from Google Map

I wonder how to get coordinates from Google Map to JavaFX application when click has occured. Here is an example of code:
public class JavaFXApplication extends Application {
public void showCoordinates(String coords)
        System.out.println("Coordinates: " + coords);
    @Override public void start(Stage stage)
        final WebView webView = new WebView();
        final WebEngine webEngine = webView.getEngine();
        webEngine.load(getClass().getResource("googlemap.html").toString());
        webEngine.getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener(
                new ChangeListener<State>() {
                    @Override
                    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends State> ov, State oldState, State newState) {
                        if (newState == State.SUCCEEDED) {
                            JSObject window = (JSObject) webEngine.executeScript("window");
                            window.setMember("java", new JavaFXApplication());
        BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
        root.setCenter(webView);
        stage.setTitle("Google maps");
        Scene scene = new Scene(root,1000,700, Color.web("#666970"));
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
   public static void main(String[] args){
        Application.launch(args);

Hi, welcome!
You may also have a look at GPS Info Qt, available for free at Ovi Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/165671
GPS Info Qt is a nice Qt app. I have it on my C6-01 and I like it.

HT5622 After both (1) changing the password for my Iphone 4S and now (2) loading latest system for it (and restoring when Itunes said I must) it will no longer restore all the apps I bought with the old password. How to get them please?

After both (1) changing the password for my Iphone 4S and now (2) loading system 6.1.3 for it (and restoring when Itunes said I must)
- Itunes it will no longer restore all the apps I bought with the old psasword.
How to get them please?
===========================
Sorry - no - all well, they seem to be all coming back - back just after I put this question.
Mysterious to me but very satisfactory.
Profile doubtless that of an ignoramus.

Ok, so I was able to find one but the one i'm most diappointed is the "free music" app i purchased and it had hundreds of songs that i didn't put on my desk top to save. So just so we're clear, I cannot get that app back again with all my songs if it wasn't in the "purchased" place?
Also,
my husband has a iphone 4 and i've been trying to connect it to our Garmin GPS through bluetooth. Now both devices recognize it but once a call is made or received, nothing goes through the GPS. I've had it working before but it was before a couple of upgrades. It is currently on ios7.2 upgrade. Is that why it won't work?
Thanks

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
