GPS on SW3 seems only Lock when I turn the GPS on my phone! (Note 2)
Hello
Only, I decided to jump on the bandwagon of smartwatch due to the external GPS in the SW3. So, I bought the SW3 less than a week ago. I intend to leave my phone (Note 2) at home during the race, but it seems that I can't do it again! I bought the watch of VerizonWireless and only have less than two weeks return it if there is a problem with the GPS on my watch.
I was doing some GPS 'tests' by starting GhostRacer and then... (1) removing my watch during a night without clouds for more than 15 minutes and the GPS was always "looking." (2) I walked my dead end a few times. Always "in search". (3) I had a crazy idea to turn the GPS on my phone. Wow! Almost immediately, the GPS on the watch will display 4 bars, then locked with 3 bars. I continued to walk and GhostRacer started showing I was moving a distance and speed greater than 0.0. Great! Maybe just needs to use the GPS on my phone to lock the watch? I turned off my phone GPS and continued on foot. The distance and the stopped rate of increment. I turned on my phone back GPS and the watch started to increase my distance again. I kept turning off GPS on my phone and I found that the watch only really felt my movement when the GPS on my phone is turned on. Before that, I tried RunKeeper and he always showed my distance to 0.0.
If I need to have the watch uses the GPS on my phone, then it is not necessary to obtain this particular smartwatch!
Is there something special I should do to "activate" the GPS of my watch? Is there a special mode that I can run in to see how many satellites that my watch can pick up and, possibly, the strength of the signal? I have not been able to find too many messages on the Internet on the GPS doesn't work don't not with execution of applications, so I wonder if there is something wrong with my particular watch, but I won't be able to prove that first.
Here are some details:
PWP
Location: on
Flight mode: Off
Android wear: 1.0.5.1785466
Note 2 phone
GPS: Off (unless I'm trying to make my GPS watch to work!)
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Disconnect the phone from your watch and try again. Disconnection = go away or turn off BT on your phone.
If your watch is connected with your phone, then the phone GPS and GPS settings have priority. Turning off the GPS on your phone means you want to use the location services.

It's a smart cover Pro iPad, and you tried activating / disabling the setting 'off' and 'on' and tried a soft-reset/reboot of the iPad? And you have access to a second iPad Pro you could try the cover on?

Computer locking when I close the lid
I have a laptop sony vaio vgn-aw290. When I got it after you have configured the fingerprint reader it would lock the computer when I closed the lid. If I close and open it immediately and it would make me a password. He wouldn't buy support standby or hibernation, it would simply lock the computer. recently, we went to panama, fl on vacation and this feature no longer works. don't know why or how or exactly when. I looked through the settings and power options and may not know how to re - set parameters to lock the lid closed. I also have an HP that has begun to stay unlocked when I close the lid. I would like to know how to configure it to crash when the lid closes, so I don't need the screen saver locks with a password to send it in stand-by or press win + L before I close the lid.
Hi Mr. Folse,.
Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.
You can follow the procedure below to change the Power Options.
1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
2 double click on Power Options.
3. under "Advanced", set the option "When I close the lid of my portable computer" according to your preferences.
If the steps above fail then I suggest to run a system restore to a date when the option was working properly.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
4. click on finish.
