No GPS on DROID Charge After Update (ED2)

I've had my DROID Charge for over two weeks now.  I won it in the DROID Landing scavenger hunt.  The GPS has been on par with other Samsung Galaxy S phones.  It's slow to lock, but it works well after it does.
After the device came out, Verizon pushed an update (ED2).  According to the documentation I've read, it only affected Samsung Media Hub.  I'm not really a Media Hub user, so I wasn't going to be affected by the 'downgrade' in functionality.
However, since the update, my GPS no longer locks.  I can be standing outside, clear skys, and I'm only ever shown at the cell tower level on Google Maps; A big blude circle, near my location.  It never hones in closer than that.
I've tried rebooting the phone, clearing the GPS Cache (with the GPS Status app http://j.mp/iijkwk), and redownloading the aGPS data, with the same app.
One time today, while walking to the coffee shop, my GPS locked on.  Other than that, nothing.
Has anyone else seen this issue?  Any more suggestions to fix, or at least put a band-aid on it?
Thanks
Breon

I understand your frustration because Vz Navigator is a great feature that many users depend on when traveling. Since you have cleared the Cache, rebooted, and you've downloaded the app again, I would try a few other steps. Ensure the Gps location is on and the Location Based services have the proper settings. You can use the directions below:
GPS steps:
From the home screen, select Applications.
Select Settings.
Select Location & security.
Select Standalone GPS services.
Enabled when a orange check mark is present.
If presented, review the disclaimer then select Agree.
 Location Based Services instructions:
Navigate to the http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html website, enter the 10-digit mobile number and password then click Sign In.
To register, click Register then follow the step-by-step instructions.
Click My Service > Navigator.
Click Manage Online.
Click Settings (upper-right corner, above the map).
Click Privacy Settings (under End User License and Privacy Settings).
Select a privacy setting then click Save.
Click OK.

  • IPhone 5s no longer holds battery charge after updating to 8.1.1

    Immediately after updating to iOS 8.1.1, my iPhone 5s battery will no longer hold a charge. At 7:30 am (EST) it was 100% - by 10:30 am I had to plug it back in as it was down to 8%!!   From 100% to 8% in 3 hours ...
    I NEVER had a problem with my phone in any way before updating the software.  PLEASE HELP!   Thank You. 

    The same thing happened to me. However, I was 7 hours from home in the Baaken. I was in a situation that requred I keep the phone on for saftey reasons. My Iphone 5s died and is now a brick!
    I just ordered my first Android phone. It's unfortunate that Apple post Steve Jobs doesn't perform adequate testing on software. They are becoming just "another" company!

  • Iphone 6 and ipad mini not charging after update to iOS 8.02

  • Wont charge after update to ISO 7

    Why wont my Iphone 5 take any kind of chargers after update to ISO 7 HELP me !!!!

    Your next step may be to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.
    If the battery is totally dead, you may need to have it on a charger for at least half an hour before it shows any signs of life. But if there's something going on with your port then you can't do that. It may be time to bring in the pros and see if they can work anything out

  • Aperture 3: GPS data gets lost after 'Update from Master'

    My library contains photos in JPEG format that I geotag in Places, then I save the metadata with 'Write IPTC Metadata to Master'. The problem I have is, that the GPS data gets lost after I do an 'Update from Master', even if I saved the metadata before. I'm having this problem with referenced and managed photos and all my JPEGs from several different cameras. The only way to permanently store the GPS info into my photos seems to be to export the geotagged photos as versions.
    Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Use Houdah geo (http://www.houdah.com) to write location data back to the EXIF. It's interface is very similar to Places (Google maps and pins) and you can interface with the Aperture library. It's a bit of a pain, but if you need it done now rather than wait for an Aperture 3 fix, then...

  • Slow charging after updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.1.1

    Hi,
    I just updated my iPhone 5S - 16GB to iOS 8.1.1 (from 7.1.2) few hours back and it took 90 minutes to charge 6% (It was in 74% or 75% when I plugged in and it came to 81% after 90 minutes)
    I tried rebooting my Phone - No Luck
    What do I do now? Is this a known issue?

    I had this same problem with what's app.  There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8.  Update the app, or delete it and re-add it.  I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

  • IShuffle doesn't charge after updating to iTunes 8.1

    I have the first gen iShuffle (1GB) & it's been working perfectly ever since I bought it last year but after updating my iTunes to 8.1 last week it doesn't charge nor play my songs in my iShuffle, it plays them in my Library but not on my iShuffle.
    I don't know why or what's the problem? because my iShuffle still works when I remove it from my computer, it's just when I try to play it on my comp it doesn't work.
    what should I do?

    The usb port is directly on your macbook. Some people have usb hubs which plug into the usb port to multiply the number of usb devices you can have. Like this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TQ776LL/A?mco=MzE2OTkyOA
    Think plugging in a toaster directly to the wall versus plugging into a power strip.
    Sometimes having a usb hub in the middle can mess with things... especially when the item draws power via the usb port. (like the shuffle does).
    If you have a hub....try plugging the shuffle in directly on the macbook and see if it helps.

  • Droid Charge Software Update

    I thought this was a routine update. I installed it. Many problems. No benefits. Why? I called cust no service and tech no support and they said there is nothing they can do. They can't fix anything and they can't undo what they called an upgrade. Are they kidding? I called for a credit on a new phone. The rep said no and would not let me speak with a supervisor. I then got a call asking me to rate the service from 0 to 10. It was very easy to press 0.

    Since the posting, I received a third replacement for my phone. So far it is the best working phone out of all of them. It occasionally freezes up and I have to do a battery pull to get it stable again. I'm just quite unhappy because I didn't really even want the phone to begin with. Verizon called me and said they wanted to give me the early upgrade last year so I was like fine, but it has been a nightmare. Then I am approved for an early upgrade by two different managers from call centers and am told that they need to call me back to do the order, but I never get called back. When I call back, I get diverted and the new person on the phone ends up just wanting to send me a replacement Droid Charge. Then I finally get someone who will give me the upgrade, but then am surprised to find out that by upgrading, I will no longer be able to keep my current contract.
    I have been a Verizon customer for one hell of a long time and have never had an issue until this past month, and am exhausted from having to make so many calls to Verizon. If nothing is resolved with my account by the end of my contract period, I am going to someone else.

  • HT4623 my iphone cant  charge after updating it

    after updating my iphone ,it went to low battery after that it can't charge

    Use an certified Apple charging cable - either Apple brand or one approved by Apple.  Knock-off cables won't work with iOS 7.

  • IPhone 4s not charging after update to iOS7

    After updated to iOS7 my iPhone 4s will not charge anymore

    I would try plugging in the phone to the wall charger that came with it, and then reset the phone by holding the power and home buttons down until it turns off. Then turn it back on and see how the charging works.
    Also if that doesnt seem to resolve it, take a look at this section from the article named iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

  • My iPhone 4S won't hold a charge after updating to iOS 6.1.1

    Is anyone else experiencing problems with their battery draining after updating to iOS 6.1.1?

    My phone has died.  It does even show the batter low symbol - Taken to Apple Genie, they told me now to pay £139 as its a hardware fault.  Told them Im a true apple fan, but they didnt give 2 sheets!!!!
    If Only I could turn back the clock and NEVER updated the IOS 6.1.1
    Anyone reading this:- If your phone is out of warrenty and was one of the 1st batches of the 4S - DO NOT update this as this will kill your phone as only way to fix is pay apple £139 for a refurbished handset!

  • My ipad 3 is not charging after update to ios 6

    I Just updated my ipad 3 to ios 6 and now my battery will not charge anymore?!?

    Just got off the phone with Apple.  At least the wait time was short and the technician spoke clearly, but ultimately the issue is not resolved.
    First thing we tried was doing a hard reboot, then reset the phone by going into settings -> general -> Reset -> Erase Content and Settings.  This was supposed to bring the phone back to IOS 5.1.1 and would confirm if it was the iOS6 or a hardware issue.  it still wouldn't charge and so we assumed it was hardware and setup an exchange.  Keep in mind this phone is less than 6 months old. 
    After the fact, I realized that the restore did not actually remove iOS6 and so made a second call to tech support.  After talking to a senior tech rep we discovered that once iOS6 is fully installed, there is no going back.  Especially since iTunes won't recognize the phone being connected in addition to the not charging. 
    I'm curious to watch this thread and see if the number of people with this problem continues to escalate.  I think 5 could still be coincidence with literally millions of people upgrading to iOS6 but if there is in fact a software issue causing it I imagine this number to increase exponentially over the next few days and weeks.

  • HT1237 My MacBook Pro with Retina Display won't boot nor charge after updating to SMC Update v1.1. What do I do?

    I updated my MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the SMC Update v1.1. Everything went well with the installation, and it has successfully been installed amd restarted. After quite awhile, I shut down my MBP. Then when I tried to open it again, nothing happens. I kept on pressing the power button, even tried the shift+alt+ctrl+power, but nothing happens. My battery was on full charge, but when I tried to plug it into power, the LED of the MagSafe doesn't light up as well. What should I do?

    I had the same issue and had to take it to the Apple Store and it was sent to the repair depot to get fixed.  Supposedly they had to replace the logic board.  Some posts reflect the fact that in other cases the battery was removed then reinserted by Apple technicians to fix the problem.  There are many who have reported the same issue after this SMC Update and the only fix to the problem for MacBook Pro Retina owners is to have it serviced by Apple.
