HTC Incredible S :: "Unable To Contact Location Service To Update Current"
Jan 31, 2012
My weather widget started to show me "unable to contact location service to update your current location" message 2 days ago. It worked great till now, its really annoying.
When I launch maps I have no problem looking through the maps with post codes etc but I cant find my current location, it searches for ages with no luck.I dont know what to do.
I am using my Atrix 2 only on WiFi (I have taken out of sim Card) in a foreign country.Google Maps, News and Weather apps are not able to determine my current location.Also, the stock weather widget inaccurately determines the location. Also when I go to google.com and yahoo.com from my browser, it goes to the customized page of the foreign country. Also, the location is enabled for WiFi and disabled for GPS. Since, I only using WiFi, using GPS is not useful.
So i imported my contact list from facebook so that i get the facebook picture of the person who is calling me instead of the green android dude. But ive noticed that the pictures do not update when they change their profile picture was wondering if im missing something or if it is a flaw with the incredible
I am not sure,but I think that before rooting and unrooting my Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos and installing a new firmware,with the power saving mode turned on,I could check for a weather information update without turning the location service manually on.
I suppose that the weather information service turned on the location service only for checking for weather information update automatically and then turned it off automatically again. And when I have pressed the weather update refresh button, it updated the weather information very fast. I would also like to add that the weather information,has been updating with no difference if the phone has been connected to a wi-fi network or 3G.
Is there a way I can get back that way of updating the weather information? That was only with the power saving mode turned on!
My GPS doesn't update my current location in nokia maps. However, i get a signal from 3 satellites. Is something wrong with my nokia maps? im using the nokia 5800.
i just got this bb 9300. I tried one of the application where you can find someone near your area/place. its shows on that specific run application that I am on the other side of the world. that application will only follow the current address of my mobile! im having a hard time of finding that and change it to my current location.
I came from the HTC One (M7) where the weather/time widget would update without the "location" being on. It updated with the network. So if I was at home, my weather widget would show info for my current location. If I was at work, I received the weather info for the current location, all without the need to have my location set to on. All this was accomplished through Verizon's network. Now with my LG G3, I can only have updated weather if I manually do it or if I turn the location setting on.
Does anyone else have this problem with the Maps app? If I map a location, then ask for directions to or from my "current location," the routes display immediately. But if I try to use any other location (for example, from my contacts), it displays a "Loading..." message and stalls. This happens even with a strong wi-fi connection. This is an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1 with Verizon. My Maps app is using the standard view without traffic.
Various apps that I allow to use my current location very, VERY often report me being in the wrong place when at my house. I have wifi in my house so I'm obviously not going to use 3G.And when I say wrong, I don't mean like right up the street. I mean like 2 miles away across town. Anything I can do to fix that?
I have a home automation system that uses my phone's location to identify if I am home. But the problem is when I start using my ps4 (and when it is standby). My phone thinks I am about a block away, it always returns to my actual location, but ever 10-20 minutes it jumps back to that wrong location. This issue only comes up when my PS4 is plugged in and on or in standby. This is causing the home system to think i went away for a couple of minutes, arming my home.Â
I just bought a brand new iphone 4s and uploaded my old back up so I didnt have to ask around for people's numbers and such and have all my old stuff. The problem now is my current location will not work when using maps. What should i do?
I have a Nokia c2-03 phone and when I updated the phone's software using the phone itself, it said after updating and installing the new software : contact service, and the phone crashed, Nokia is truly getting low.
Hi, I'm new here! Tried to set a new e-mail on my Curve 9300 and get a message saying "Unable to open email setup application-contact your wireless service provider". Not sure what this is. do I contact Orange or BB?
I needed to setup a secondary email addy with RogersWireless yesterday and while I was there I got the bright idea to change my password for my primary account.This totally screwed my BB (no more email being received) sent me an email saying I needed to verify my password.tried to go into Setup to access my email settings..my BB freezes and I have to shut it down and re-start.Next bright idea...go to Messages Options then try to access email settings that way...message comes up and says "Unable to open email setup application. Contact your wireless service provider."Now I'm not saying I don't enjoy spending an afternoon chatting with Rogers but is there anyway to fix this without having to waste an afternoon?
I originally posted this on >> HTC Android Devices > Droid Incredile, so far no replies, so perhaps not the correct forum, and I have only just noticed this forumI have had my HTC Incredible S for just over 2 weeks, and getting used to most of the functions and features (previously have used Nokia for years) and enjoying it There is one thing that I cannot find a solution or setting for, and that is when I send/receive SMS's although the user is in my contacts, the name does not come up, only the mobile number. Is there something that I have overlooked in the settings, although I wonder why the name is not the default unless of course the sender is not in my contacts.
This should be an easy function, but I cannot figure it out. I view the list of calls, select options -- no option to add from the list. When adding a contact, no option to add from the call list. Am I missing something or is this really not a valid function?
ever since i had the update 5.1.1 for my iphone 3gs it has notbeen able to detect any sim and it is unable to activate, also before i had the update my phone worked perfect with the sim i am using atm which is giff gaff (runs on o2-uk)
Ok so I just got the incredible today. My first Droid phone. I m trying to record and send video via text message. Two things here. 1st the video at 30 secs long seems to be too big to send. I have tried recording it in both formats and at the lowest settings..Any thoughts on how to make it smaller? I was able to send video up to a minute long on my Blackberry so not sure what the problem here is.
I just bought my Hazel yesterday night, trying the WiFi n widget (which only appear in some theme and have 5 widgets appear) and found that a lot of the applications are not there, so as advice in written in paper inside the box, I downloaded the update service software into PC and update to my phone this morning and while doing a light browsing, was amaze that I have whole lot of new applications, games and even theme, but at later of the day, I found out that the I cant surf the net through WiFi, I was able to connect to WiFi, but was unable to surf the Internet.
