SOLVED: Here Drive 'Looking for GPS' Solution!
My original post:
[quote]Have had the same problem since I bought my 520. The GPS never, or rarely worked with any apps. Mostly tried it on Here Drive. Sent back to the store, they examined it, then they sent it to another place in for repair. They couldn't fix it so they again sent it to Nokia Care. The phone came back in 3 weeks and I was told there was no problem with it.
The fascinating part is that it worked for the day when I got it back. Whole day. Then the next day which is today, it doesn't. It's stuck again, completely. In between these days, I installed my apps back: Amazing Weather HD, SSH Pro, Unit Conversion Tool, Scan QR. Could one of the apps interfear with the GPS signal causing it to stop working? I know for a fact that Amazing Weather uses the GPS to get my location. I did a soft reset which deleted the apps and now the navigation works again. Well, still at least. I installed some of the apps back and I'll keep on looking what could cause this.
This problem shouldn't exist.[/quote]
I'm using Lumia 520.
I have managed to solve this issue. Follow these steps in order to get your GPS working again:
1. Backup any data you need
2. Do a soft reset by going to 'about' -> 'reset my phone' (this factory resets your phone, backup needed!)
3. Find the culprit app by installing your store apps back one by one and testing the navigation each time. In my case the culprit was an app called 'Amazing Weather HD' which used GPS to track the location. It messes up the GPS so that navigation no longer finds signal even if the app OR it's background task is NOT on!
4. Do the soft reset again once you have found the culprit, then install everything back except the culprit app. Problem solved!
ATTENTION! It IS NOT enough to just uninstall the culprit app or disable the background task, YOU NEED TO do a soft reset in order to get the GPS working. I have no idea why, but Nokia needs to fix this.

True, but it would be useful if Nokia could work out what the rogue app has done and provide a fix which gets GPS going again, without having to reset the phone.
This makes more sense to me as the cause of the problem. Although I don't have that particular app, I have others that use GPS which may have done something similar. But going through that process to find out which app it is will be a pain. There are a few obvious candidates, but having to backup, reset and reinstall everything will take a long time.

Here Drive stuck on 'Looking for GPS"
Running version 3.0.4087.0 on Samsung Ativ S (in Canada). Nokia Drive seems to find my location without any issues for a short period of time. Later when launching it just shows "Looking for GPS" in the status bar and cannot find my location at all.
Location services are turned on for the phone and the app. All other mapping apps on the phone (including Here Maps) find my location very rapidly.
Yesterday I tried uninstalling and re-installing Here Drive but the "Looking for GPS" error is back again today.Yup, me too. I love the Here Drive (on my Lumia 810), and it's been working perfectly well until last week. Now it's stuck on looking for GPS and showing as start location the place I was last week when I used it the last time.
Please, need to get this fixed! Nokia MAPs work just fine but not HERE Drive.
I have latest updates on both the phone and my Here drive. I uninstalled the app, and re-loaded it yesterday from the app store. Same thing again. Thought it may be due to being inside of the building, went out, changed locations, drove a bit and nope still not working. It's stuck. I've left it running for more than an hour and no luck what so ever.
A colleague with Lumia 920 has the same problem.
Not question of having a case covering the antennas either, his does not have a case, I took mine off the case, and the result is still the same, looking for GPS.
Please get this fixed ASAP!

Hi
I am looking for a solution to the consumption
of the VM systems in Azure Portal that reports and notified me by mail.
Please suggest.
Thanks, KkHi Kk,
what notifications are you expecting? like Machine down etc.?
you can make use of monitoring alerts and notifications in Azure, this will allow you to configure different
metric related to your virtual machines and other azure service you use.
Specifically for VMs you can configure different metric for the VM host OS and you can also configure web end point status metric (will monitor situation like machine down or offline)
here are two good reads

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Can anyone help on integrating Unifier with WebCenter Portal ? We are looking for a solution where we can show Unifier pages within WebCenter Portal application. Is this possible ?
If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can. -

Firefox is my default browser on my new laptop, with OS Windows 7. I've now had several instances where a Windows popup comes up saying Firefox has developed a problem and may have to close. It also indicates Windows "is looking for a solution to the problem." No solution is found, however, and Firefox is forced to close, with the happy notice that Windows will let me know if it finds a solution to the problem. If there is any tech data on the crash, I'm not sure where to find it, and no Firefox crash report window comes up. I thought it was an anomaly the first time, but this has now occurred at least 4 times in the past several days.

Looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database
As the title of this discussion states, I'm looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database to be used for reporting. Creating the dynamic form is not a problem, it's getting it into a database that's more of a nuisance. A dynamic form is needed in order to provide skip logic, hide/reveal, and other similar dynamic features.
The database hasn't been created, so just looking for the easiest, more effective and dependable solution. The key is being able to run reports off the data later.So i set up 2 residential grade routers to test this out. Seems to be working okayish. I believe with directional antenae routers I should achieve what I need.
As for security I configured each device separately. I set them so only allow the MAC address of the other through wireless. This seems to be the best system for me. Once they are connected even if a MAC is spoofed of the other router it drops automatically because they are always connected. My wired devices get plugged in and recieve an IP from my main network.
There more testing to be done, but it seems to be working.
Thanks for your input and suggestions guys. I will be marking this topic as answered. -

I have been looking for a solution for making my videos capable of playing on anything such as: DVD player, Mac, PC, etc. I have not found a format that will play with all of these. Is there a format, software, or do you encode it? I am new to production. I can make a video and make it work for a certain thing just not all.
There is no such thing as universal format and that is that. You are looking for the magic pearl that doesn't exist and rather than waste your time on a futile search, it would be better to actually read up on the various formats and their limitations, including how playback devices may or may not support this and that.

Looking for GPS wth muliple destination routing. (like Mapquest's route planner)
I am looking for a GPS that I can put in ?? destinations and can continue from one to another. I currently use Mapquest's Route Planner, and then put each destination seperately so I do not have to read while driving. I think there are some available someplace. I can get up to 26 in Mapquest, but, I am looking for something like that.
Solved!
Go to Solution.drake1029 –
I am so sorry that no one has provided you with an
answer. I have done some research on this topic and found that most major
manufacturers offer this on their GPS systems. It is know and route/trip
planner or something along those lines. I looked through a few GPS systems and didn’t
see that this option was included in the features. This either means that it is
such a standard feature that they don’t note it, or the models I looked at just
don’t have it.
I would consult with a GPS sales associate at your local
Best Buy® store to see if the unit you are interested in definitely has it. Sorry
again for the delayed response. Please let me know if there is anything else I
can help you with.
Thanks,

Looking for SQL Solution to Very Unique Problem
Hello,
New here, thanks. I have what I think is an interesting problem. I really don't want to post it because the background and explanation is rather lengthy. It has to do with one table that holds some general info; there is a unique numeric primary key. Associated with this table are three different tables identical in structure, having only two fields: the primary key, and a code. The three tables correspond to test results performed by a different individual. For each entry in the main table, where there is one and only one entry for the primary key, the same test could have been performed one, two, or three times. So there could be one, two, or three different sets of codes describing the test results. Only one set of the test result codes is the correct one. And there is a hierarchy that determines which is the correct set of codes. Say the main table is called LR. LR is linked to three different tables, each of which has the exact same structure. The relationship between LR and each of these three tables is one to many. Call the three tables that hold test results SCR, QC, and PT. Some assumptions can be made. In the table LR there are two flag fields: Q_STATUS and P_STATUS whose values each are either Y or N. If P_STATUS=Y, then we are guaranteed a set of test result codes in the table PT, and this set of codes is always the final word; always the correct results. If P_STATUS=N but Q_STATUS=Y, then we are guaranteed to have a set of test result codes in the table QC, and if this is the case, then this set of codes is the final word. Now if P_STATUS=N and Q_STATUS=N, then we know there is a set of test result codes in the SCR table, we know there is one and only one set of test result codes, hence this set is the correct one. Another assumption that can be made, for any row in the LR table, there will ALWAYS be at least one set of test result codes in the SCR table. There may or may not be a set of test result codes in the QC and PT tables, and the flags in the LR table indicate if either is the case. Hope this makes sense so far. For many years I have been trying to figure out one SQL statement that will return the correct set of test result codes. Often I have to analyze data that relies on the results of a test (e.g. how many tests had the code 850 in the year 2011?). That's a simple example, but you get the idea. Since I have to determine which set of test result codes is the correct one to use, I've always had to rely on writing a PL/SQL procedure anytime I have to work with test result codes. I tend to use a conditional: IF (P_STATUS=Y) THEN /*the right answer is in the table PT*/ ELSIF (Q_STATUS=Y) THEN /*the right answer is in the table QC*/ ELSE /*the right answer is in the table SCR*/. I have a document with a little more detail, and an example. Or maybe this makes absolute sense to someone out there and they know exactly what to tell me! And let me say this is not a critical issue for me. I've been searching for this SQL statement for about 10 years now. I consider myself pretty proficient with SQL, but definitely not a guru. I'm thinking the solution I'm looking for might rely one some kind of full outer join on all three of the tables SCR, QC, and PT and then if those results could be linked to the LR table, and then maybe in the SQL statement use of DECODE might do it. I want one SQL statement that will return me the correct set of testing result codes. Hope this all makes sense. To anyone who has read it I thank you very much. I would be very happy to provide my document with further explanation and an example. Any response is greatly appreciated. Guess I have to keep coming back here now to see if anyone responded. Oh, I might add that we use a very old version of Oracle (8.0.3) but, if all goes according to plan, we should migrate to the most current version within the next year.
Thanks,
John Cardella

Email address removed for your own benefit, unless of course you'd like spam bots to pick it up and send you lots of rubbish?Why do I keep three tables. Each sample that is evaluated is always screened by what I will call a "tech." Every so many cases the test must be repeated for quality control. If the findings of the initial testing or of a quality control test are found to contain abnormal results, then the test must also be repeated, this time looked at by a doctor. So I have what I refer to as the "main" table; the one that holds final data, which in my example I explained the two "flag" fields that indicate if the test was repeated. Every time a test is evaluated it is done by the same person, and the findings of an individual testing, or screening, are a set of test result codes. There is the "main" control table which I have called LR in my example. The reason I have the other three tables: one is used to store the test results of the initial screening (always done); one is used to hold the test results of a quality control case (may or may not be done); and one is used to hold the test results of an abnormal case that was screened by a doctor (may or may not be done). There is a separate table for each individual who may have done a screening.
Let us consider the results of just one case. In the table LR we have something like this:
| KEY | P_STATUS | Q_STATUS |
| 100 | Y | Y |
By default, for any entry in the LR table there is always a set of codes in the SCR table. We know a quality control was performed because QC_STATUS=Y, and we know it was screened by a doctor because P_STATUS=Y. So we would have three different sets of findings, each in one of the three tables:
SCR TABLE: QC TABLE:
| KEY | CODE | | KEY | CODE | | KEY | CODE |
| 100 | 014 | | 100 | 13R | | 100 | 13R |
| 100 | 13R | | 100 | 150 | | 100 | 170 |
| 100 | 150 | | 100 | 170 | | 100 | 180 |
| 100 | 160 | | 100 | 190 |
The values in the three tables represent the findings of three different people who screened the test sample. Now suppose I combined all the data, I would suppose it would look something like this:
| KEY | P_STATUS | Q_STATUS | KEY | CODE | KEY | CODE | KEY | CODE |
| 100 | Y | Y | 100 | 014 | null | null | null | null |
| 100 | Y | Y | 100 | 13R | 100 | 13R | 100 | 13R |
| 100 | Y | Y | 100 | 150 | 100 | 150 | null | null |
| 100 | Y | Y | 100 | 160 | null | null | null | null |
| 100 | Y | Y | null | null | 100 | 170 | 100 | 170 |
| 100 | Y | Y | null | null | null | null | 100 | 180 |
| 100 | Y | Y | null | null | null | null | 100 | 190 |
Since P_STATUS=Y I would want the result set returned to be {13R, 170, 180, 190}.
But suppose P_STATUS=N and Q_STATUS=Y then I would want the result set to be {13R, 150, 170}
And if P_STATUS=N and Q_STATUS=N then I would want {014, 13R, 150, 160}
Of all of the sets of test results codes, only ONE is ever the final word (i.e. the right answer).
So what I was trying to do is find a query that would give me what I want. And my apologies if there is a major design flaw. I always thought it was not that bad. But then I am no SQL guru either.
To anyone who has read on further my most humble thanks. I really did not mean to waste anyone's time or be a pain in the ass.
Thanks Again,
