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!!!!

Nokia n95 maps licence problem and gps not working

hi i have n95 and i formated it all and it's mass memory, now when i open maps i don't find my license, also i can't update it, i can't dowload maps for my phone, so i can't navigate without internet, also gps lock not working
and when i use pc suite to downlad maps like before it don't work it send me to lumia here maps that it dont on my n95 8gb because nokia abandoned the best symbian and used the bad lumia, so they delete symbian so users change to lumia, and i say no
help me get maps back and preload maps without internet
i formated my phone manytimes and i used nokia software update and still no solution for me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Now, you have old cities/qf on your phone because you started with Maps 2.0 which used incompatible map data. Please, on your phone delete the folder cities and the file qf. These are in the at the start (root directory) of your storage. Then on your phone, open Maps and browse a bit around. That re-creates cities/qf. Now try the Nokia Suite again. Does it show the countries? Good. Now it should work. If not, please, report.

I had the previous PC Suite.
Now that webpage make sense. The button in the PC Suite links to the Nokia Map Loader. Anyway, nowadays one should use the Map Loader of the Nokia Suite because it supports very large maps.

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.

Compass and gps not working correctly

pre-ordered my iphone4 on the 15 of June it arrived on the 24!The next morning, I tried to get my location on the map app and it could not produce my location. also the compass app is constantly telling me to wave the phone in a figure 8. Anyone else having this issue ?

Having the same flaky issue. 90-100 degrees off. It seems to only happen while in the interior of a vehicle, moving or not. Being that this is the most likely location one would use the compass telemetry of the phone, it should most certainly would have been designed to work in this environment. Stepping outside the vehicle seems to return the compass to normal and fairly accurate operation. I have used the built in compass functionality with several different GPS apps, both Apple original software and 3rd party software with the same unreliable performance. I too frequently get the 'figure-8' notification citing interference. I have performed the calibration several times outside the vehicle to no avail.

GPS Not working for E72

My GPS is not working for E72. I can get my position but I think that is because of A-GPS enabled.
I talked to customer care and they are saying "you must be in open space, no tall buildings etc" which is not practical.
I tried for hours, it always says "waiting for GPS" but never gets any thing.
It used to work earlier but then there was p problem [ no breathing light ] and I had to take it to serivce center, after that it never worked.
My E72 software version date is 031.023
custom version 031.023.c00.01
ovi maps v3.04
Please help!

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

Please see my site about Navigation Bar Links not working

Greetings,
I have an urgent issue with www.ForexProFund.com and it's navigation bar links. For some reason only some of the links work in the navigation bar. I have tried and recreated new pages and moved all the content over to the new pages with no luck. I moved the nav bar to the most "forward" position and pushed everything else to the back so it's on the top for sure. You can see that on the "contact" page, the navigation bar does not work, and I have no idea why...it's the same on the "Open Account" page.
I really need this fixed, as I am sure many of you do.
Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.
Jason :>

Hi there,
Can you tell me how to "reduce" these things? I am not sure why some links in the nav bar and others do not...maybe I am doing something wrong? Very frustrating since Mac. does not let you simply setup a nav bar....it all has to be template based and then these types of things happen. Either way, if you have details of how to remedy this, please let me know. I tried to remove the line under the nav bar on the first two pages and still no luck.
Thank you!

Why my navigational link is not working?

Hello
I am a newbie and in the process of creating my first website. My problem is navigation links.
I created a horizontal navigational link using Spry. I've already written the link address for each tab navigation. But when I view my web page using "Live View" and or press F12 or Ctrl F12 (IE and Firefox)
the link will only work on the first clicked tab. Clicking the subsequent tabs would not work.
I tried to test a simple link by typing 5 words and linking them to 5 files accordingly. The same result, that it will only work on the first clicked word and would not work subsequently.
Please help and thank you in advance.

If you haven't already, you'll need to procure space on a remote web server from a commercial hosting company. When you've got the log-in details from your host, plug that info into Dreamweaver.

Upload your test page & dependant files to your remote server.
Come back here and post the URL to your problem page.
When your question is answered, you may remove the files from your remote server.

GPS not working in Lumia 535

I have been using Lumia 520 since its release and switched over to Lumia 630 Dual when it was released in India and for the same SIMs the GPS was working excellent. Recently when Lumia 535 was released I exchanged Lumia 630 for 535.While the mobile touch issues were addressed very well by the two updates -December 2014 and March 2015-I am a bit disappointed to find the GPS is not working properly as it did in 520 and 630 .When Here Drive + is opened, the green arrow appear and my location is shown but the arrow never travel in time over the map as I move in my car or walking and just freeze.If I go out of the app and return back, it updates the location but again the green arrow doe not move on the map along with my motion in car or any other vehicle.I wish to know if future updates will solve this problem or my mobile has any hardwear proplem.As I am very familiar with Lumia series since April 2013, I am sure that I am following the steps and settings perfectly.Please help me.I am in India and I am using Airtel SIMs.

Yes I have done all that you have mentioned.Also I have checked with single sim to make sure that it is not due to two sims.As Lumia 520 and 630 were perfectly locating the position in the same place where I am now living with same sims , I do not find the reason to be anything external. Also I must be a bit descriptive about the problem:
1.Once Here Maps + or Here Drive + is opened, after locating the position , the distance will display a random digit even though I have not moved at all.For example, after the app is opened Here Drive + will show distance anything random llike 500m or 1Km even if I am not moving.Only after closing and opening the app few times the value gets zeroed. This happens even when sims were tested individually as well in diffeent places in the heart of the city where mobile towers are available.Also, the distance calculated is most of the time wrong and on the higher side.But in Lumia 520 and 630 I have seen the distance displayed is always 0m to begin with and the green arrow travel with time over the map .But in 535 the speed used to be most of the time blank with display showing - Km/h
I must bring to your attention that when I bought Lumia 520 in April 2013 , its GPS performance used to get affected from one up date to another and subsequent update used to correct it .In fact Lumia 630 that I bought in Sept 2014 had GPS problem but an update that follwed made GPS very perfect. As I am a traveller all over South India, I was always using the GPS and it used to work exceedingly well without the network most of the time with good tower signal.
The update in March 2015 updated my maps as well. Even Here Drive + was also updated this year and the version now is 4.2.5905.1 and map is 8.30.57.115.
As I am using all the smart features of Lumia since 520, I am familiar with the operation as well performance of Lumia series .Many of my friends switched over from Android to Lumia ( 525, 630 etc) for the accuarcy of GPS in windows phone without using the internet which is a must in Android.
I feel that 535 is finding difficult to locate the postion co ordinates and so not working accurately. Even in a car the GPS fail to track the motion in time inside the city most of the time. Where as 630 GPS worked very well even inside AC compartment without any problem without mobile data and with just tower signal.
All the other applications are working very well.
Please help.

SaveState and restoreState not working properly :/

Here is my code:
public class UIChooser extends UIComponentBase implements StateHolder
private String submitedCategoryItemID;
private boolean transientFlag;
public UIChooser()
    super();
    transientFlag=false;
public boolean isTransient()
    return transientFlag;
public Object saveState(FacesContext context)
   System.out.println("saveState");
    Object[] values = new Object[2];
    values[0] = super.saveState(context);
    values[1] = submitedCategoryItemID;
    return values;
public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)
    System.out.println("restoreState");
    Object[] values = (Object[])state;
    super.restoreState(context, values[0]);
    this.submitedCategoryItemID = (String)values[1];
}saveState and restoreState not working.
Phrases "restoreState" and "saveState" aren't displayed and value of submitedCategoryItemID not restored. :/ What's happend?

yes you can,
in your source add a master_name column and in that make the navigation.
in the master_id column go to column format and style options and check the Use Custom CSS style option and type,
display: none
now in your source the master_id column will get hidden. in your target make the master_id prompted.
now click on the master_name in your source, your target will get filtered by the corresponding msater_id
thanks,
Karthick

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
