GPS does not not on compact Z3

GPS functionality seems to be completely broken on my new Z3 compact.

Any application that uses the GPS all hangs at "waiting for location" indefinitely. I tried Google maps, GPS Status, Runkeeper, etc.. For the test I changed my location for "device", the network location does not work.

Tried to disable & turn on GPS, hard reboot, even a factory reset in the end. Nothing helps.

GPS works for other users of compact Z3? My hardware is really bust?

My,.

What I tried to say below is that 'only the device' IS NOT work.

Or rather does NOT work, it seems that my problem was simply the fact that I had tried to use the GPS inside. I think that I've used inside buildings GPS devices and they worked at least to some extent, so I couldn't believe that I don't get any kind of fix with the Z3C - but it seems that this was the case. Outside the GPS works well, get the fix is fast enough and the location seems accurate.

So: user error , thank you for taking the time!

  • Lenovo A369i GPS does not work?

    my phone A369i GPS does not work. I downloaded applications that need my gps to enable to track my location. but my gps does not work. any fix for that? THX in advance

    A369i only have A - GPS. This means use GSM signal, when you use foursquare. s oke, because with A - Gps can get places. But with sport track can not ask, because need GPS built-in.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS does not work

    I have a 8330 and the GPS does not work.  I have Blackberry Maps and Google Maps, each says are looking for satellite units trying to find where I am.  Alltel tech support said I have to pay $9.99 per month for telenav, but I hope that this is not correct because I was told THAT GPS was on the phone when I bought it 3 weeks ago.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Curve 8310 - GPS does not

    Late afternoon, the GPS on my BlackBerry decided to stop working. "Refresh GPS" does nothing, just a bunch of 0 against all areas. I took a colleague BlackBerry (the same exact model since they both work) and standing on a selected spot "refresh GPS" on both phones. Mine still gives a bunch of zeros, while the other spits is rather less than a second. I didn't fall out or something. Infact, it was fine in the morning. What is going on?

    I also tried out the battery for 5 minutes before putting call. It does not either.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Go to options, State. On the main status screen, type the word test.

    There is no entry for that field, just type and you will see a device of that self-test.

    Click Run, and then select GPS.

    Let us know the results.

    Thank you

  • Place of current residence (Longitude/Latitude) GPS does not work on real device

    Hello

    I wrote a small test application for GPS/latidue longitude. It works fine on simulator (9630), but not on the real device (BlackBerry Tour). Am I missing something? I have to set anything on the device? I already have the data plan activated in the device. Should I have any extra service from the supplier in order to let this GPS thing work?

  • Palm Pre GPS does not. Bell = horrible customer service

    I bought a Palm Pre, because GPS available. Unfortunately, after spending an hour on the phone with Bell customer service and technical service Palm, they tell me that the GPS is not functional on the Palm Pre.

    I think that what they mean by 'not supported' is that they have not developed a version of webOS for their specific GPS application. To give you an example of the United States, Sprint and ATT have their provider (TeleNav) to develop a version of webOS software of navigation. Verizon did the same thing (they use a different provider, I don't remember their name, though). Until that Bell has their app GPS provider develop a version of webOS from the customer, you're probably stuck using Google maps. As a side note, I just read an interesting article about a card solution 3rd party you might want to check. It is called BFGMaps and it is currently in beta. More information about this is here: http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.watchmefreak.bfgmaps

  • My gps does not work

    Does anyone know about telenav offers sprint navigation system? whenever I tried to use the gps looks works, but it gave me a code that says that the navigation service is not yet initialized, please stop session and retry, I did a hard reset, I even went to the sprint they could do nothing! Can someone tell me something about this or did someone knows what's going on?

    By default, it should be on the 3rd page of icons. Looking for an icon that looks like a compass.

    My problem is with the GPS. When I put in the address and ask to 'navigate here.

    I can see the arrow moves but the card is not mopve as well so I have to constantly move the map manually.

    It was only after I updated from version 5 to version 6.

    Thanks for the comments.

    Sorry, I can't help, but I can sympathize with you because I was looking for a solution to this as well.  I just bought this new Bold 9650 y / day, in lieu of my Pearl 8230, that somehow the GPS got fried, stop working, whatever, with a sort of update that was pushed to the phone.  Weird situation, look in the area of Pearl for more details if you're curious.

    Anyway, it used to work perfectly on the Pearl - point fixed GPS and card installs under him.  Seems I got on a bad deal here because my OS is the new 6.  I hope that someone will know about a fix for this.  A bit useless if you have to scroll to get to your location all the time, as it is constantly going off the screen!  :-(

  • What can I do to fix Windows 7 does not read compact flash memory cards?

    Windows 7 suddenly stopped reading the cards, so the only way I can get pictures of them files is to fix the camera itself using the USB cord.

    Apparently, it has to do with the Fat 32 file is not being read.  Y at - it a fix, patch or program I can get to fix this?

    Either the card reader are damaged by drivers - uninstall in Device Manager and let windows to re - install - or the drive has failed and you need a new.

  • GPS does not appear on ZTE C open

    I'm HERE from the cards
    It is requested for access to GPS, every time, (I chose "save my choice", but it is always required).
    First time it has showed me that I am in Novosibirsk in Russia, but I'm in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
    Now I see the message "can't find your location.
    The status panel navigation icon is visible.

    Other applications with respect to same kind, so GPS doesn't appear at all.
    I downloaded the new firmware (FFOS_EU_EBAY_OPENCV1.0.0B06) of ZTE turned off. site, installed, it solved my problem with the Russian keyboard, but the GPS is still dead.

    Everything works now?

  • GPS works not!

    I was EXTREMELY frustrated for several days, because my apps on the card do not work.  On Waze, I get a red upper error message telling me to go outside... Well, I'm going out hell and it does not!  Google maps and map apple tell me destination eta, but then NOTHING.  It's as if he's losing.  I did a ton of research online, and it seems that I'm not the only one.  However, I don't see Apple, take corrective action to fix this problem.  At first I thought it was the apps, so I've deleted and reinstalled.  Then, I followed all, I mean ALL the steps recommended to reset the network, tun offshore and on location Services, blah blah blah and blah shit!  NOTHING.  So, this morning, I had a conversation with a representative of Apple and lost an hour of my time... nothing gets resolved.  Then... I then went to my neighbor Genius Bar on Knox Street... I swear to you that I wanted to order a double scotch on the rocks, but no chance lol.  Anyway, long story short... because of diagnosis (NEW)... said nothing wrong with the hardware.  They recommended that I have reset the phone so new... Well, NOTHING.   After two hours of wasted time, my phone has always had the same problem.  They said that I could buy a new phone, but they can't really guarantee that it will fix the problem.  you see, they also had the error messages on their app Waze.  When they launched the plan of Apple, they do not necessarily have an error message, but I do not have to be... It of not until you get out and drive that the error is apparent on the Apple and Google maps.

    Apple, can you please come clean and tell us that it is a REAL problem and that it is not the fruit of my imagination or that of others?  Can you also PLEASE enable your geniuses with knowledge that will help them solve the problem for people like me who are not technically savvy?

    To be honest, I was willing to pay just for a new phone, but I'm angry that I have to resort to that because you cannot find the solution to this question.

    Help, please!  Also, if anyone else has this problem and if fixed can you please let me know what you have done to remedy this?

    There is no Apple here, just other users like you.

    Exactly, the error messages say?

    And Yres, GPS does not work indoors.

  • The location does not work with WIFI or GPS inside, just outside?

    In the HTML5 specification, the geotagging option try to find your location from different sources such as:

    • GPS
    • WiFi
    • Cell tower

    Inside, it seems that the phone is unable to get the geolocation...

    can you give me some advice?

    Best regards

    Victor

    I did, I know what I'm talking about.
    the site is authorized, I need to download a file and the download file option does not work either, the operating system is not yet ready for commercial use.

    Thank you very much

    I get emails that I think will not solve the problem, we need geolocation and upload of files. and of course an emulator that works 100%, ready to deploy, phones etc.

    Thank you very much i'm going to close this. I don't have time to explain more problems, the problem exists and I hope it will be solved.

  • Does anyone know how to connect a Garmin GPS to the EOS 7 d? The camera does not see.

    When I plug in my Garmin GPS on my EOS 7 d and go into the GPS settings in the menu. The camera does not see all I get is "GPS not connected indication." The GPS turned on and functional. Someone at - it ideas?

    Once I had an application that you had photographed the display of a GPS device (the type that a rider could use because they observe "breadcrumbs" trail of your itinerary) on #1 chassis (they wanted to just make sure that you have a picture of the time on the GPS display.

    You then go about your day taking photos with the GPS running indepdently.

    At the end of the day, you import the images and it asks you to enter the time displayed on the first photo.  It uses the display of GPS time and calculates the offset of the time, the camera recorded in the EXIF data (just in case the clocks were not perfectly synchronized).  Then she uses the breadcrumbs on the GPS track and apply the GPS position, data for each photo from your camera roll.

    It was a bit complicated and app tried to take over your App "photo management" (which I didn't... "I wanted just the position data added to the existing images), but it worked.

    The fact is... I was able to add correction of position information to each photo and it did not require actually integrate the GPS to the camera (it was quite after the fact).

    Today, I own the module GPS Canon (MUCH more convenient), so I don't deal with that more.
