Verizon 8330 changed to metro pcs and the gps won't work

Hi,
First time here.
The tech guy I spoke with at metro pcs said the gps from a verizon 8330 even when the phone is switched to metro won't work on the metro pcs network. Is there a way to fix this or is it a lost cause?
TIA,
Mike

There is a way to "fix" the gps and I posted a guide from another person in this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&thread.id=52810&jump=true
It involves changing some settings in the programming of the phone so that it can quickly locate and triangulate your position using your providers cell network. I don't know all the technical details but I know it worked for my phone and my brother's phone; I just followed the guide and everything was great after that! If you are not technically inclined, you may not want to do this since you are really messing with the basic phone programming system. Use it with caution. You may be able to find an independent cell phone service shop in your area (somewhere you get cell phones unlocked maybe) to do this for you at a cost.
Hope this info helps.
Oh, and I almost forgot...welcome to the forums

HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work

I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.

HI,
This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
Make the Finder the "front" app.
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the app.
You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
Again Restart the app.

My ipod touch has an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work

I have an itouch that is only 2.5yrs old and only gets occassional use. A week ago the slider wouldn't work; power switch didn't work; I reset and then tried (unsuccessfully) to restore to factory settings through itunes but encountered an error. At that point it appeared to be restored and I had use of original feature (clock, settings, etc) but I could not connect to WiFi and when I tried to connect to itunes again it did not recognize my device and now my Windows does not recognize my device. It tried to reset again but now I get an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work again.
I have read of other with the same problem but found no solution
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I can't use my password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and it still won't work with icloud

I can't use my apple password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and still can't open icloud on my pc. What can I do or what am I doing wrong.
Thanks

Sorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod.

When href target is changed to new html file; the link won't work within the F12 browser check?

The web site is a java animated site.
This link works fine:   <li><a href="index-2.html">Technologies</a></li>
This link doesn't:          <li><a href="index-2a.html">Technologies</a></li>
The index-2a file was created from the index-2 file to make changes to it.
When I state the link works fine, it means that after pressing F12 to bring up the home page, and then clicking on the above link in the home page it works FINE.
After the change, it doesn't work.
It is wierd as hell . . . .there has to be a logical explanation that I'm just not seeing.
Thanks to everyone for your help in advance.

Thanks again for your suggestion.   Wasn't thinking and loaded the two pages to our company's existing web site. .. but, the jquery, css sheets, etc are all different . . .geeez, what a dumbo . . .anyway, a bit too much trouble.
And YES the links work, no problem.
Of course all the styling, formatting is not there, but the links appear to be working.
so now i'm thinking somehow it's related to the dependent files . . .
Anyway, thanks Nancy for giving this a try . . not quite sure what I will do at this point . . .

I bought an iphone 4s that was purchased from an apple store in canada and the iphone won't work here in south africa. what can i do?

please help

Do you mean that it is carrier locked?
You would have to contact the carrier to which it is locked and see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Or does "won't work" mean something else?

My Pearl keeps restarting and the trackpad won't work!

My new Pearl 9100 keeps freezing and then restarting on itself. It's super annoying because this happens about every hour. When it restarts the entire trackpad won't work, even the button. The only way I've been able to get it to work again is to restart it until it does! It usually takes about 7 restarts until the entire trackpad will work, then it restarts again.
Is there any suggests on what I should do? And I'm still on warrenty but Bell said they couldnt do anything about it

Stuck in disc mode and the restore won't work because of error 1437

I've been stuck in disc mode for over two hours after trying to reset my iPod. I originally had to restore it because it says that there are corrupt files. It went ok until the very end when it said that it couldn't be restored because of error 1437. So, I tried to reset it. Now, it's been in disc mode and nothing is working! I tried to format it from my computer, I tried to restore it multiple times, I tried resetting it again, I uninstalled and installed itunes, I even went as far as downloading the most recent itunes It's just stuck in the same mode and won't let me do anyhting! Also, the nearest Apple store is a 2 hour drive away and I don't have the money for Apple support.Oh, and the ipod is completely empty and it says I have 0 KB available. (Out of a 160 GB iPod Classic)

Hi JLeeAnne1993,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are receiving an alert after attempting a restore. You have done several great troubleshooting steps already I see. The other steps I would recommend would be isolating the usb port, reregistering “.dll” files, updating or reinstalling the Windows USB drivers, and possible disabling your security software temporarily. I know the specific alert number you are receiving is not listed, but please use the following article for the steps and information on how to complete these actions.
iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439

When trying to click on menus on USAA, it shows "javascript:;" in the bottom left hand corner and the menu won't work in FF 21. But the menus work in IE 10.

whenever I go to USAA.com on firefox, I can't click on any of the drop down menus. Instead, a box in the bottom left corner (where a link address would usually show) pops up with "javascript:;". If I use IE10, the site works perfectly. I prefer Firefox so it drives me a little nuts that I have to switch browsers for one site. I've removed all my cookies, cleared the cache, reset Firefox, and run Firefox in safe mode. The website still refuses to play nice. All the regular links on the site work but the drop down menus won't.

Hi TrinityFire, thank you for the update. It seems wrong that a site could limit you to using one method of "clicking". I wonder whether there is a Firefox setting to always ensure that mouse clicking will work even if your device has a touchscreen?
Could you check these two preferences and see whether they make any difference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''touch''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Try double-clicking the following to toggle them to false:
dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled = <s>true (default)</s> ''See Note''<br>
dom.w3c_touch_events.expose = true (default)
You might need to restart after changing these settings before they take effect.
Does this switch the site from touch to mouse click? Or make it stop working altogether?
''Note: dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled requires a numeric setting, see cor-el's post below.''

I bought an iphone 4 on ebay and the wifi won't work.

I can't even toggle the wifi switch to the "on" position. what is wrong with this thing? its 32 gb I am only using 6 gb of it. its really slow sometimes and i haven't activated it with the carrier cause i don't have verizon. i was planning on unlocking it and going to virgin mobile. but now verizon said they won't do anything for me cause i am not a verizon customer and apple says that it is no longer under warranty and to just figure out whats wrong i have to pay $145 and activate it with verizon, which i know i can't afford. i already paid $175 for it. and if i decide to send it back i can't restore it back to factory settings because i can't get online to turn off find my phone. what should i do?

A Verizon iPhone 4 can not be used with any carrier other than Verizon. If you can return it for a refund, do so.

My iphone has a black screen and the reset won't work. What else can I do?

Today my phone screen went completely dark and all I could see were some faint vertical lines. It's on as it's still receiving messages but I can't access or see anything.
Based on other similar questions, the answer seems to be to hold the on/off and home buttons together until something shows but nothing has happened after a few attempts of holding it for a while. Do I have any other options or do I need to go into a store?
Thanks

HT1750 Changed batteries in mouse and now it won't work.

Why won't my mouse work after I just changed the batteries?

They are in the wrong way? The new batteries are dead? You slid the on-off switch to off?
Bluetooth got turned off, mouse is no longer linked to system?

I dropped my iphone 5c and the screen won't work, but I can still feel it vibrate. Any help??
