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.

  • iPhone 6 GPS works not

    Hello

    About a year (like on iOS 9 version), GPS on my phone did not work.  When I would try to use maps from Apple, it seems that my car has been the road somewhere in the grass, and sometimes many roads above.  He could never stay with me while driving.  Also, this happened when using Google Maps, so I knew it wasn't just a problem with the Apple Maps app.

    I tried to restart the phone several times, remove the GPS applications and reinstall them, completely wipe the phone and start from scratch, etc.  The problem still exists.  So for a while, I just dealt with him.  I just use GPS my car if I needed one.  Although it has always bothered me that my 128 GB of 6 GPS iPhone did not work.  However, with the release of the 'Pokémon GO' game that is based on the GPS, I am very disappointed that I get a signal error my GPS is not detected (Yes, I have activated the application location services).

    Is there some app or something that I can use to diagnose my GPS antennas in the phone?  I have the full 5-bar signal (point?), and my phone is in developer/debug mode, so I can also see that the detailed signal is - 81.  I have AT & T as my carrier.  There must be a way to determine if something in my phone is damaged.  I would go to the Apple Store, but the closest is an hour and a half, so I would like to avoid that if possible.

    I have the same problem as well. I noticed when I tried to use the WAZE app for the first time since more than a year and it does not locate my position accurately enough. I've never really cared because I rarely travel too far and my GPS worked well enough for me to navigate when I should not rely on a map. Now that Pokémon GO is out which relies on positioning very accurate since some Pokemon can only be captured in some areas, it is really annoying that my phone takes a lot of time to put me in a general situation or fails to find me at all. I know it's just a game, but it's really annoying because it's the first week of release, and all my friends are playing. Seems my GPS only works pretty well to play when I'm more urban areas in my city (perhaps the buildings help focus signals on my phone) compared to parks and suburban more areas. The phone would make my position in the game by tens of metres offshore and sometimes would be me all about teleport to another whole BLOCK!

    I think it may be a hardware problem because I also noticed that my phone started to worsen to pick up WIFI signals as well. I use to be able to walk my business and maintain a good WIFI signal and now it seems that I can hardly connect to my router unless I'm less than 10 feet of it. Around, I read that this could be a short film of either a bad charging cable, damaged by the heat that damage the WIFI and GPS, modules or an update that fried partial systems.

    Edit: I checked my router with the new iPhone of others and they had really good reception of the WIFI signal like what I had at first, that's why I think it's a hardware problem.

  • X200Tablet GPS works not

    Before buying the computer, sales of cat lenovo told me I need to have a WWAN card to have the GPS but I did not need to activate it.

    However, I can't have the GPS to work and when I dail to technical support, technical support to tell me that I have a 3G package before that I can use the GPS. They also say cat sale head me with misinformation.

    I wonder which is correct. And when I turn on the GPS activation, it is said that the signal is 'very good', but all the latitude, longtitude, bearings etc are "N/A".. How does that mean that the GPS is already activated? >_<>

    I solved the problem already. I just go to the lenovo site and update the code to activate GPS version 2.0.0.1 and everythings works.

    Thanks for your help and other people with the same problem, try to update the GPS activation code to see if it works not.

  • GPS works not properly

    I use my Iphone 6 more and when I upgraded my IOS to 9.3.5 I can't properly use my GPS on google maps and waze. Can I ask someone to help me with that.  Thank you

    Hi, jmd718!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reading your post, I understand that you have problems with your location service, including in Google Maps and an app called Waze. Not being is not the best with directions, I rely on my location Services everyday so I definitely want to make sure that yours work as expected!

    I would recommend going through the article, specifically the "Improve GPS accuracy" section, in order to ensure that you get the best location-based Services and GPS signals available.

    On the protection of personal information and location Services

    See you soon!

  • iPhone iOS 9.2 6s gps works not

    anyone else having this problem?

    I already tried everything, except food

    I have the same problem.  My GPS stopped working for all cards (waze, google maps, maps of apple) apps a month ago.  I rebooted, reset my network settings and restored my phone.  The problem persists.  My phone is basically impossible to get an exact solution on my site.

  • 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.

  • 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?

TY

    mzmicro,

    You must stop the opening of new threads for the same question. Please stick to one of them because no one will be able to follow/help you. I've already posted on a previous thread on your part regarding the gps here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&message.id=53419#M53419

    You did not go back on the question of if you tried my suggestions! No one will be able to help you if you continue to do that as you start new threads and ignore the 'old' who always pending proposals. If you want your thread to the top of the list of threads, you must send a message to this subject, otherwise it keeps leaving fall to the bottom of the list as other threads are making their way to the top and new threads are created.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Word blackBerry 8130 Smartphones, GPS work

    I loaded a 8130 with 4.5 (reloaded) on it, but the GPS does not work.  Virgin Mobile with a data plan.  I can't even lat and long.  When you follow the instructions for "get you gps location" and press the menu key gps refresh is not even an option (all I get is 'closed', I did all the things in the 'impossible to use GPS technology' help file and still no joy.)  When I try with Nav4All I get the mesaage 'no GPS connection' Google maps does not work either.  E option is set to "gps device.

    I loved the Pearl for a lot of reasons but gave up on it because of Virgin Mobile Canada hobbling GPS Blackberry features.  First, they told me that I need a data plan to get the GPS working.  If this were true all portable GPS units that aren't cell phones would not work.  Nav4All, which uses map data stored on the memory stick and the internal GPS gave me a message "no GPS signal." Even google maps (which uses an instead of GPS cell tower triangulation) does not work with Virgin.  When I downloaded it directly on my phone I received a message saying 'Google maps does not work on your 8130 phone, use the web version. When I pressed them more technical support told me that 'we cannot gaurantee THAT GPS will work on your phone"

    The only good news is that I have to return the phone and cancel the contract without penalty.  Virgin has allowed me to return the phone because I met upon their return from the restrictive conditions of within 20 days and less than 20 minutes of talk time.

  • Since the update with OS 10.11.6, flash not working not properly

    Just got a new Mac Book Pro, new on mac in general. Had a video to play on a Web site but didn't work not, downloaded Chrome, worked well. Then made the update to OS 10.11.6 (not), and the video does not work (it says: cannot load the Flash plug-in). Made sure plugin has been enabled in my Chrome. Tried to download Flash himself, tried to remove Chrome and Flash and download Chrome still once, nothing works. Now for some reason, it works... What is (and was) happening... Someone has an idea? THX!

    -Chrome has built in Flash.

    -Safari does not come with Flash and use Flash with Safari, you need to download and install Flash

    So this is why worked chrome and Safari worked after downloading and installing Flash. Make sure you just threw always get Flash from the Adobe website.  Once you install Flash from Adobe it has also installed a Flash preferences panel in system preferences and yo can update Flash from here

  • Some web features working not (buttons, drop-down menus, etc.)

    I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my machine, and since I had problems with firefox. I had the same exact configuration installation and firefox before reinstall as far as I can remember, and I've not had the problem then. I tried the current version and the beta version of firefox.

    Basically, on some Web sites, there are some things that does not work as it should. Some buttons does nothing, some drop-down menu nothing done, image resizing works not etc.. Maybe it has something to do with javascript? Although most of the javascripts appears.

    Here's an example: on this site: http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/
    'Reset' and 'Calculate' blue buttons does not work. The effect of the passage of the mouse works, but when I click on them, absolutely nothing happens.

    Rather a general answer I'm afraid, because I don't see an obvious problem & solution:

    1. Note for any problems with the sites that it is always worth to erase cookies from this site and to cache How to clear Firefox cache &delete cookies to remove the information from Web sites is stored on your computer
    2. Try in safe mode (see questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode) that is accessible from your Firefox Button. (but at this stage try not yet reset)
    3. If the above does not help then try the Firefox reset, but be aware, you will lose the open tabs, extensions and preferences, you may need to favorite things first if you can find them still see Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons
