Push notifications and GPS not working on wifi - please help

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4 with at&t (US) and latest iOS. but I am outside the US for a month and I have put the phone in airplane mode so that I don't receive phone calls or texts (I can choose not to answer phone calls but apparently I will receive the texts no matter what unless I put it in airplane mode)
But I still use the iphone for everything else. I have the wi-fi on and I have my own wi-fi network where I'm staying.
but i'm having problems:
1. I do not get any push notifications on my iphone. I have not modified much from the default wifi router settings. all i have done is set a WPA TKIP password. all the other settings are the default. no port filter or firewalls on the router as far as i can see.
2. google maps is not able to pinpoint my location. I can see the maps fine. but when i hit the button to locate my position, it tries for a while and then says "cannot determine location".
3. after a while with the iphone in 'sleep mode' (i.e. the screen is off - the phone is not off), when I turn the screen back on and try the use the iphone with the wifi, the internet no longer works although it shows that it is connected to the wifi network. then I have to go to the settings on my iphone for the wifi network and hit 'renew lease' for the internet to work again on my iphone. this is really annoying....
.. and *I do not have any of these problems when I'm on anyone else's wifi network*. so, I'm guessing this has something to do with my personal wifi connection at home.
can someone help me figure this out?
the wi-fi router is an Aztech HW550-3G. and the broadband connection is from a WiMax internet modem.
here are some of the screens from the wifi config page

thanks!

Your problem is there is no record of where your base station is. Since you have airplane mode on your phone cannot use the gps receiver or the mobile network to pinpoint the location. For the location of the base station to be known it needs to be recorded in a database on the internet.
Instead of turning on airplane mode, remove the SIM from the iPhone. With airplane off and no SIM you will be able to use GPS but not make or receive phone calls and text. It may also update the location database with your base station location, but I cannot confirm it.

Push notifications and imessage not working

Since upgrading to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4 I cannot use iMessage, Facetime or get any push notifications from any apps.
Any suggestions?

HAve checked in the notification centre for the apps to be allowed to show push notifications.

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

Hi troy157,
I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
to Rick:
I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
- Working Space: None
- Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
to both of you:
Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
So, would you have any solution for this problem?
Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

VZ Navigator and GPS Not working in East Texas

My phone and my wifes phone (both TB) are experiencing the gps outage in East Texas.
We live in Henderson, TX which geographically lies between Tyler and Carthage.
I have called Verizon repeatedly with little to no help so far. I have been told by customer support many times that Verizon does not support 3rd party gps apps like Google Maps or My Tracks; however, I'm not able to get VZ Navigator to work either.
After calling customer support and being reminded that they do not provide support for Google maps, the rep asked if I was able to use VZ Navigator. I quickly installed VZ Navigator while trying to communicate the real issues at work in our area of
Texas. Once VZ Navigator was installed, (yes, I agreed to the $10 per month) I opened the app to discover all the same issues. VZ Navigator doesn't get a gps fix. It just says, "Updating location..." and when you try to navigate to any destination from your current location, it says "Getting GPS..." until it returns with an error message. The error message reads "VZ Navigation is having trouble finding your current position. Please try again. (1001)
Once the 2nd level tech verified that I actually installed VZ Navigator and that was not able to make it work, she notated all I had to say about the gps issues and escalated the open ticket to a higher level engineer. She said I should get a call
tomorrow (05-16-2011).
She said the key to getting the issue escalated was VZ Navigator. It's not free. It's a Verizon product. She also stated that I can
stop the service once the issue is resolved. I encourage everyone living in East Texas with this issue to do the same. It's worth a shot!
I will keep everyone informed of my progress (or lack of) as time passes.
If anyone has a solution to the GPS outage in East Texas please post a reply.

Please help!

I have always thought this was a GPS issue.. but i only use the free apps..    i complained enough to get 2 months credit for VZ Navigator..   guess what..   it uses the same gps chip in the phone and it doesn't work either. supprise supprise supprise.
How many weeks does it take?
As for Google updating a database..    in airplane mode, GPS still works...   or used to.. ...   i have done it many times.
Why does Google have to update something that works in airplane mode when all the transmitters in the phone are turned off? makes no sense at all..
fix your service or credit me something for the services you are not providing till you get them fixed!!!
It's been weeks and weeks and weeks guys..   COME ON!!!!

Usbs not working very frustrating please help

My usbs have all stopped working for no reason just after i did my last windows update even with a roll back it still says this error in the picture very frustrating i updated bios on my motherboard and downloaded usb drives but still did not fix the issue
please help it says unknown usb device(device descriptor failed)whn i plug hard drives in the usb has power but it wont show up on my pc also happens with my keyboard and mouse even after driver re installs please help.

Hi,
For this issue,please let us know the error code.
Meanwhile, I suggest we disable and re-enable the USB controller to check the result.
This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
1.Press Win+X，and select Device Manager.
2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
3.Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
4.Repeat step 3 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5.Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
6.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.

Kelvin hsu
