GPS icon always on

Hello, I have the Z3 c since the end of August, and I have this problem: sometimes (apparently not related to the use of GPS apps) the GPS icon appears in the status bar and will not disappear even to put the GPS off. Audit of the use of the battery shows any use by GPS, which is just annoying to see the icon all the time. It always resolved by a reboot of the device.

I noticed the same problem reported with the aqua M4 (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-8482-M4-Aqua/GPS-icon-always-on-in-top-bar/td-p/1006192).

No idea how to solve this problem?

Try to start in safe mode.

Press the Lock until the Switch OFF guest appear > keep POWER OFF until Safe Mode prompt appears, then press OK

You must be in safe mode after reboot (a logo of Safe Mode)

Use it for awhile, then check if the GPS icon always appears in safe mode. If the GPS icon disappeared, then app (s) you have installed must use GPS. Try to uninstall your recent apps since the end of August.

If it still appears, try to perform a repair of software using PC Companion.

To exit safe mode, just restart your phone normally.

  • GPS icon missing BlackBerry Smartphones

    I had just bought a BB 9000 "BOLD" and I got Vodaphone UK as a service provider.  My question to all, is that when I look at the menu, I don't have the GPS icon everyone takes to run BB Maps.  I looked in several websites, but I have not found the "right" answer, I need.  I also looked at the Options > Advanced Options > GPS and have updated it.  When I do, I can't pick up my current position.  I also looked at the Options > Advanced Options > Applications and found Blackberry Maps, v. 4.6.0.  I am running firmware 4.6.0.162 v. (4.0.0.155 platform).  Please, help me find my icon or something that will allow me to use the Blackberry maps.  Thank you for your time.

    I had the same problem.  In the end, I called Vodafone and they sent me a link to download.  Although they give him free his sometimes "not there."  Just give them a call and they will send you the link.

    Is it possible to lock my icons on my desktop?  Lately, they have been moved on reboot.  I unchecked "rearrange icons.  Thanks to all those who can help you.

    Since I had no problem with moving icons, I'll call this problem is resolved.  The only thing I did was check and then uncheck the auto arrange. (I still icons snap to grid checked).  Perhaps it didn't take effect until I restarted computer.  Since then, I rebooted computer twice.   So if someone has the same problem, you can try to do.   Kudos to you for helping me out.

    Hello

    I noticed that my macbook air battery is charged to 100% (also it shows green on magsafe) but the watch icon always load as you can see in the photo.  Is anyone know something about it, or if I can do anything to fix it?

    MacBook Air early 2015)

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello MacKasabian,

    I understand that you do not see the correct icon when your MacBook Pro is fully charged. I would look at the SMC reset. This reset is good for power related issues and helps correct the icon if there are questions. Take a look at the article below for more details.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  • GPS problems - no icon and "location unavailable" in the search

    Problem:

    When the GPS is turned on, I can no longer use the voice search and get local results by location.  It was working fine when I got the phone.

    GPS is not working, and the gps icon appears in the top status bar, when I'm in the CARD program.

    When I press the voice search icon, I'm talking about "Pizza".  What I get is a general google search for pizza... not according to the location.  When I press the 'Use current location' link, he quickly said: "no available update of location."  So, I press update... it will say "Place of acquisition" for a second, then returns to 'location update not available '.

    Still, the GPS icon appears ONLY if I'm in the CARDS program except that it is missing.  I don't know if it's because of an app, I installed that broke, or just a bug Droid.

    Anyone having this problem?  Please help... This has been frustrating the heck out of me for a while.

    ... Yes, you have to if you want to use the way you say it.

    Use of wireless networks is for aGPS. It is not as accurate.   It is based on the the cell towers that surround you.   If you think about it, a death on the exact position is not necessary to find a restaurant close that it is not enough to know what part of town you're in.   AGPS is based on towers, it is instantly available and uses no extra battery to determine.  So... It's better for the query of the voice.   If the GPS was used, I guess you would need a "Waiting for position" so that it works correctly.

    GPS is perfectly accurate and is necessary for browsing.   It takes a little more time, does not also well indoors or in an urban environment like aGPS.

    Really a combination of features that best suit both together.

    "Wireless network" in this case is the cell not towers... no WiFi.

    The reason this is an option, it's that people want their identified position.   However, if there is no information on the post a query based on the position should not be expected.  Either way, if you dial 911, your position is identified in any case.

    Hope that explains it.

    Hello

    Do you know a tricks to turn off the White Star on red circle?

    Thanks for your reply due diligence must

    Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Best!

  • The padlock icon indicating that a website is safe never appears on sites like paypal or my bank sites. How will I know if it's safe for me to use?

    I'm moving to use IE8 for Mozilla Firefox. When I access my banking Web sites and Paypal on IE8, the secure lock icon always appears next to the address. When I try to use FF, none of the Web sites show all icons padlock secure, so I'm afraid to connect to these Web sites using this browser.
    This sounds really weird as I thought FF was supposed to be safer. If the padlock icon does not appear, should I refrain to connect to these sites?

    Check the extended certificate of Validation is much more important than a padlock icon, which can be "faked" by a Web site.

    The current versions of Firefox appear, so if you don't see something wrong with your user profile Firefox.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the lock is there. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Yet WT8 battery always shows 100%

    Battery in the bottom right of the screen icon always displays the battery to 100%, until the battery is discharged and the Tablet turns off. How can I fix it?

    Have you tried to calibrate the battery in the past?
    To calibrate the battery, you must first unload the battery until it s would be entirely empty. Then recharge it again until its full charge.
    This procedure should be repeated two, three times in the line

    But beware: the Tablet cannot be turned on by pressing the power button, if the battery is completely discharged. It s recommended to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power adapter for 30 min before switching on.
