Storm Smartphones TELUS blackBerry, gps location satellite problem help?

Hi, I had the version of telus to the storm today, updated software, pulled battery.

as soon as I got it, I tested it on the bbmaps on gps and he finds 10 satellites.  I charged the phone and then I couldn't find more satellites, I tried flying around my car, I tried, just walk outside.

I had a similar problem with the telus htc touch pro.  It would work once they have activated the phone after an hour or so there problems of location satellite signal, but only once in a little while I might be able to lock.

I don't know if they did this on purpose so that I have to use their paid browser or that there is some conflict with the gps settings.

CUS, in this case on 2 different phone, but after that the first hours of the couple the gps is not completely disabled because I was able to lock more but very rarely.

any ideas?

Problem solved, anyone with a gps problem should just look for the fix of storm from telus on google

you will need to change some IPS with the software so that it allows you to lock onto satellite.

The reason why it worked for me at first is because the phone probably already got activated for the telus network not had the possibility to change the settings on the phone.after that the gps is really limited.  can connect to a gps 1% or less of the time.

but after that the gps fix can be locked in a few seconds, even indoors.

  • Smartphones Geotags blackBerry, GPS and photos

    I found that some of my pictures from the camera are geotagged and this caused problems with sending photos. Unable to send a photo geotagged with BBM, email or normal picture messaging. Curiously, Whatsapp works OK. I uninstalled Google Maps (still have BB Maps) and turned off GPS location services. I can't find a way to turn off geotagging of photos without turning off the GPS. If GPS services is active, it can interfere with the camera because he won't take the shot until the GPS has had a difficult situation. Seems to be OK without GPS for now. What do you think?

    I'm running a Bold 9780 with OS 6.0.0.294 with the latest app world and BBM.

    Hi BryanR

    On the 9780 I, how to disable the geolocation is in camera mode.

    At the bottom of the screen, you'll (left to right) the following:

    Your photos

    Geotagging

    Take photo

    Flash game

    Plug type of

    (Roughly)

    On the second icon for geotagging to turn it off, the image should be a goal only.   If getoagging is enabled, then it will look like a red balloon.  Simply press this icon until you get the target. (not the target with the waves as it is turn on geotagging).

    You shouldn't have a problem with the geolocation in the future.

    Although according to the configuration of your phone, and the permissions you gave to Google Maps, which can also be using geolocation by default so check your permissions on this.

    I can't understand why you can't email geotagged files even if, as I have no problem with my BB.

    I hope this helps.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Torch 9810 - camera problem

    Hello guyz,.

    I recently bought a new Blackberry torch 9810 and I'm new to blackberry. I had a recent problem with camera. The camera is unable to save the image. First time I bought it, I took pictures with her and she got saved on the media card. But after synchronization. (using Fund Manager), he takes the picture, but it never gets saved! even I had the same problem with the video...

    Pls help me... I don't know miss me smthing

    Thank you

    Well, the preinstalled wallpapers are not on the map, they are in the device memory. and you probably would have to transfer the pictures from your PC to the memory of the device as well.

    So, you don't really know if this media card works?

    I would recommend that you try first to reformat the media card... Go to Options > device > storage.

    What is the press card storage size?

    You can press the Menu key > repair or Format to proceed.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Bold 9930 many problems after the update

    I just got back to Verizon and they said I need a new phone, basically, my blackberry is a lemon for a reason any. It worked fine until when I had the icon for an update and I tried to do. It got stuck for a VERY long time. All my icons are very very small and not the same thing. Text, camera, etc. are all gone. Basically I can only use it as a phone. Verizon told me to reboot it keeps hanging on the bluetooth (which I omit normally but I can not say because no icons). My back up BB is fine but I can't get the phone to download. Any help?

    Fixed! Verizon was wrong. I think it's restarting of the factory that made it. I'm so glad I did a DRINK!  I have my surprised Verizon did not set it. I had very good experiences when I need assistance of the previously.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS LOCATION

    I've been working on trying to get my BlackBerry Torch to get an accurate GPS position. I go to Options > device > location settings. GPS DATA source is: GPS device, location Services: location, location data: Enabled and location service activated. I go to the menu and click Refresh the location. I then wait for a future situation. As the address I get a number that does not exist.  The street I live on that is only 1 block long and gives the house number is not valid.  He said that precision be 6,97 m.

    I tried out and refreshing my position several times, tired standing in different places. Right now it shows 6 satellites. I tried to disable location data, before you turn off the location helping. I see no difference.  I tried the things listed on this page: http://blog.telenav.com/blog/2011/01/common-fixes-for-att-navigator-on-the-blackberry-9800/ nothing seems to help.

    I plugged a location on ATT Navigator and shown both States the time to get there is 15 to 20 minutes on the real time it takes to get there.

    I reinstalled ATT Navigator today to see if that would help. But he did not.  The physical location seems close enough, but when I plug my actual address, it shows a different location. More than 88 meters off the coast. Very different 6,97 m.  For now, I'm sitting in a Chair and he shows me move on to the next Street and back. I have the most up to software date for my phone.

    Is it possible that I can get the GPS working properly?

    Tammie

    Probably, the GPS works correctly, and your street is lot numbered.

    Let me explain: my house is located at street number 35 XXXX Street, although we are at the end of the block.

    So, my GPS, while at home, always puts to 99 number XXXX Street.

    It's because many of street follows a set pattern begins by xx1 and ending with x 99 in any block of data.

    Thus, our street should look like this.

    99----------------35------------------1

    When it actually looks like this:

    35----------------17------------------1

    Is that helps explain?

    Insofar as sitting in your Chair, GPS get you moving... because you're not outside well to the satellite showing, it is guestimating where you are.

  • Problem of GPS location after updating to IOS 10

    Anyone have problems with GPS location problem after update from IOS10?

    I drove Baltimore DC Regan airport, I tried with apple and Google map yesterday map, location was far from the highway, he could not determine where we are, we were on the road, but he kept us showing that we were on a local road to the highway.  Could not find 90% of time on my road.  Finally, I have to use my phone to brother with IOS9, we were fortunate that it has not updated to the most recent IOS 10.

    I wonder if anyone has the same problem after the update.

    Hello yinchiu85,

    I understand that your iPhone seems to have a hard time determining its location precisely. Fortunately, there are a number of steps you can take to help improve the accuracy of the information.

    Improve the accuracy of GPS

    GPS accuracy depends on the number of visible GPS satellites. Location of all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. To improve the accuracy of the GPS:

    • Make sure that you set the date, time and timezone correctly on the device in settings > general > Date & time. If possible, use the value automatically.
    • Keep a clear vision in several directions. Walls, vehicle roofs, buildings of great height, mountains and other obstacles can block the line of sight to GPS satellites. In this case, your device uses Wi - Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are still visible.

    If your iPhone is still unable to pinpoint your position, the next step would be to restore location Services.

    If you want to reset all settings to factory default location, go to settings > general > reset and tap reset card and privacy. When your location and privacy settings are reset, apps will be stop using your location until you grant them permission.

    On privacy and location in iOS Services 8 and later versions

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB turn GPS is not very accurate

    Hello. I've had my turn for a few weeks and I've been playing with the GPS, but it is not very accurate. I have Google Maps and location I get is often off by a few miles. I have also some apps that try to stall on my position, but can never really block on. I enabled GPS on the phone, so this isn't the problem. Anyway to solve this problem or to calibrate the GPS to make the apps and google maps work and are more specific to locate my position?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I thank very you much.

    It is a common misconception that your Google Maps is way off... when what you're doing isn't 'location' yourself via cell tower triangulation, GPS.

    Google Maps uses cell tower (even on devices without GPS enabled) default setting. You will see a large blue circle to indicate the cell tower range in that you are.

    When setting GPS on you, you will see a blue dot sold, to indicate your exact location, usually within 3-10 meters

    Then, in turn, follow these steps:

    First of all, go to Options > Advanced Options > GPS. Here, make sure that the GPS location Services on and help location = Enabled.

    On any Blackberry model, first make sure that you in a area of signal coverage is good AND outside with a clear view of the sky view in an open no skyscraper area.

    Your CDMA BlackBerry xx30 model, follow these steps:
    Go to the Options icon > status
    In the status screen on the keyboard type "test" (without the quotes!).
    You will see a Test screen device Self. Click on the Menu button and choose Start. You will find a list of tests. The substantive test should be GPS, check it and click Menu > run. Remember location GPS is turned on. Go outside without obstacles or the tall buildings around or above you. Click the trackball, then click start fixing. is should do a test. Let it do its thing and it should tell you that a location coordinates.

  • BlackBerry smartphones turn off GPS.

    I'm new to BlackBerry.

    I turned on the GPS to try it out and it works fine.  I then return to the E911.  I expected that GPS would not work then, but it also proved that the browser does not work either.  I activated the GPS back but the browser worked fine.

    If I leave the GPS on:

    Drain the battery even if I don't use this feature?

    Is there a way to autmatically turn it on when the browser is open and turn it off when it closes?

    Thank you.

    I just turned off the GPS on my lap and was able to use the BlackBerry browser with no problems. You don't need GPS to use the BlackBerry browser.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Desktop Software installation problem

    I had a problem with Roxio Media Manager constantly want to reinstall.  So I corrected this problem and and uninstalled the Blackberry software. Then I tried to re - install Blackberry Desktop software so that I can sync my contacts on my computer at home.  I tried this from a downloaded version 4.6 and with the version on my Blackberry CD.  Same problem with both.

    The installation starts and claims of language, then installation starts for a few seconds.  Then I get this message:

    Error opening installation log file.  Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.

    I can't get past this message.  He didn't tell where is the location of the log file.  Other installations of software, it's only the Blackberry software that will not be installed.  I tried to rename CProgram Files\Common InstallShield and make it read/write, but this install always fails with the same message.

    Any ideas to try?  Nowhere else can I ask for help?

    Andy

    Thanks, that worked.

    I unzipped the file, then I opened a cmd window and manually run msiexec with your Blackberry msi file.  I have added a flag/l to set the log file to a local file FichierJournal.txt and everything went well.

    Maybe you specify a problematic log file name, at least for my computer?

    Anyway, this new version of the Blackberry software works very well to keep my home contacts updated with my work contacts.  I'm glad that I was able to install without the Roxio media manager.  This program made me mad.

    It may be that when it was entered, there was a spelling error and what we think it should be wrong.

    If that's the case, then this account ID to BB is probably lost for good... all activities must have access to the email address and the email address is the same as the user name, if there is a mistake, then there is no way to receive emails of validation required in order to continue to use this BB ID.
