Z10 Location services kaput after update 10.2.1.537

I updated my phone to 10.2.1.537 recently and noticed after that my location services do not work at all anymore. My location services says that it is on under settings but it will not locate me when i open an app. I usually use gasbuddy app and native blackberry maps and when i open the app it shows me where i was last before the update and says that location services are off when they are definitely on since i manually switched it on in the settings. I have tried turning location services off and on many times, restarted my phone hard and soft restart and have done a system restore (due to the picture password malfunction after update the picture password would not let me into my phone after crashing 2 days afer update) much to my dismay since i have downloaded and deleted a bunch of apps since my last backup. I am wondering if this a common problem or is blackberry planning on fixing this or if there are any patches or some tricks of any kind that i can use to make my location services to work again. Definitely not happy with the new OS, thats not to say that they didnt put alot of new exciting features into the new OS but for me this has been awful as i have been without a phone essentially since the update. All help is appreciated, Thanks Mark

Location Services are part of some apps. They may be using the GPS feature as well as the Network to give you a more precise lock on your location. You said you are using gasbuddy app but location won`t work. Are you having this problem with the Blacberry Map? What other apps you have that are using Location Services?

  • IPhone 4s Location Services Disabled after iOS 7 Upgrade

    After I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 7, the location services slider was greyed out and I could not enable the service.  I reset the device several times and disabled restrictions.  Nothing.  This was the third phone that I updated today and the only one to have a problem.  Any suggestions?

    I was able to restore location services by selecting reset and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

  • Anyone else having "No service" problem after update to 6.1.3? iPhone 4S

    I went from iOS 6.0 to iOS 6.1.3 last week and now I have "No service". Happend right after update. I have done everything I can to try to fix it except restore to earlier iOS, which is not possible with iPhone 4S. My SIM works fine in my older iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.
    I have tried to reset all settings, network settings, restore from DFU mode, recover/restore mode. As a fresh phone. NOTHING makes a difference.
    Anyone else having this problem? I now have a feeling that I have to pay for it to be fixed (probably just giving me a new phone). All just because I wanted to update my iPhone. This is Apple's fault, not mine. Thank you.

    Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
    so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
    so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.

  • "No Service" issue after updating iOS 8.1

    My iPhone 5 is really giving trouble after updating all iOS 8.01, iOS 8.02 & iOS 8.1. Cellular network is come to halt, "No Service" issue is regular and i am not able to use my iPhone 5 as phone. 
    Please help me out else i have to switch to some other phone.

    I have similar problem but with a 6:   bought new iPhone 6 four days ago, phone and 3G signal were fine in UK from Sat to Mon.   Yesterday, I traveled to Belgium and have had 'no service' problem since.   I am carrying a Nokia feature phone which is locked on to local network and working fine.  
    If I power off the iPhone and power on, it comes back and joins the network.   Five or so minutes later, it has dropped the network and will not re-attach if I put in/out of flight mode; needs power reset, and then drops again.
    It is conceivable that this is a carrier issue but given that Nokia is fine and all the postings that I'm finding on various discussion sites, then I feel that it is an iOS issue.   I'm booked in to visit the Apple Store at the weekend.   My previous iPhone 4S was running iOS 7 and had no such problems.  
    So, carrying an expensive brick at the moment and hoping for an iOS update that will resolve this.

  • Location service only after initial Internet connection possible?

    I have been to Budapest, Hungary last year. My iPod Touch 2G could not find my position although there were tons of WIFI networks around. I found an open hotspot in a café which was run by the town council. After connecting to it (and later without any Internet connection again) iPod found my possition at any place in the town. It was the same in another (German) town: I needed a short internet connection via a free hotspot to get the location service work.
    Does the iPod download some sort of location data when I am far away from home?

    Yes, you'll need to join a WiFi network before the location service will work properly. See this article for more interesting info about location service. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
    ...Notes:
    iPod touch only uses Wi-Fi for Location Services (if a Wi-Fi network is available)...

    Currently Being Moderated  Re: iPhone 4 / iOS 4 - Location Services Always On
    Nov 20, 2010 10:25 PM (in response to modular747)
    so i actually ended up walking into genius bar today. they couldn't figure out which program was causing the glitch either, but the way they solved it was by resetting all the location service permissions altogether. for those of you who want to know how to do this, navigate to "settings > general > reset > reset location warnings". also fyi, the apple service rep told me the purple location service icon next to each app simply signifies that particular app has requested your location within the past 24 hours, not necessarily that the app is active. hope this helps those with the same problem as i had.  iPhone 4, iOS 4
    I will mention that I did not have the problem until I downloaded the new googlemaps, which I have deleted off my iphone.

  • Z10 STL-1 Problem after update to 10.2.1.32xx

    Hello BB Support forum. im facing a strange issue after updating my phone to 10.2.1.32xx. whenever i restart or shutdown my phone (i haven't removed my battery) it resets its date and time automatically to the build date of OS. 
    This is very annoying and it happen everytime i restart of turn off my device. and solution ? I wasn't facing this issue before updating my phone.

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

  • Device Page Service Error after updating from 2.8.0 to 2.8.2

    Hi all,
    today, I updated my demo server ZENworks MDM from the version 2.8.0 to the version 2.8.2. After this update i cannot display users and devices in dashboard. When i click on the Users tab, i`m getting the error: "Device Page Service Error. Unable to complete operation. If this error persists, please contact ZENworks Technical Support." But I`m able to login as user to the self service portal and also i see my user and his device in the Activity Monitor.
    Please, how can i solve this issue?
    Thanks
    Milan

    Strange... i rebooted server and it does not help. I wait few minutes and now it`s working
    Any self-correcting error?

  • No Service Network After Update 5.0.1

    Hello,
    Do you know what is the problem?
    I read a lot of Discussion concerning this problem and also with the battery.
    Searching 5mn for NO SERVICE, all the time
    Apple? What say Apple?

    DelfiniOS,
    Did you try the iTunes method that seriously worked for me on the signal and battery drain issues?  Both signal and battery life are back to the same as iOS 4.3. I am more than 24 hours past the nightmare.  I posted my discussion of it a few posts back from here.  I can only guess (and I have many) that iTunes must have done something different after the update to iTunes for WIN7 64-bit version, 10.5.1.42. 
    Everything has been normal for me except for one freaky glitch last night after a clean (virgin) iPhone 4 restore.  I synched nothing.  About an hour after the fresh OS was loaded, I started getting the same, wierd, spinning squirel cage that I was seeing right before I updated from 5.0 to 5.0.1.  When it has happened (maybe 3-5 times), I will be doing something on the phone or trying to synch with iTunes and it just keeps respringing or something.
    Sometimes I wonder if Apple isn't using some technology to push OS updates to our phone without our knowledge or consent.  The update screen on my iPhone didn't used to pop up with previous OS updates and allow us to OTA in a flash.  It was kinda weird.

  • Z10 fails to work after updating to 10.1.0.273

    I updated my Z10 this morning and it is now not functioning!  I can't open any apps, including BBM.  If I shut it off and turn it on again, I can open some apps, but as soon as I go to the Hub, i get a message that says "preparing the Hub" and then nothing works.
    I have tried updating from Blackberry Link on my Mac, but that doesn't work either. I am out of ideas (and patience!)
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, mine worked fine before "update" too....
    I wonder if we are going to have to wait until 10.2 before we are working again?
    This is so COMPLETELY frustrating!

    Before the update, I could generally get at least 4 bars around the house. Now I'm lucky to get any service at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Thanx, John

    snakes527 did you notice that the post is about 3 1/2 years old? The poster already said that he got it working.  Also, most posters never mark their post as solved.
    Further, there was no FindMyiPod in iOS 4.2.11
