With Wi-Fi off and opening the native iPhone map app there is always a pop up message saying GPS accuracy improves with Wi-Fi on and has a button to go right to settings to turn it on. Okay, I know GPS accuracy is improved while connected to Wi-Fi, but is it improved even when not connected but turned on?Thinking maybe just having Wi-Fi on searching and locating connections may pinpoint your location relative to Wi-Fi routers and/or hot spots along your route and help with positioning and tracking. I know this would kill the battery but am neurotic enough about my GPS tracking apps to do it anyway.My experiments with this are inclusive. May seem like a silly question but like I said I'm neurotic about my GPS accuracy. So, does anyone know for sure one way or the other?
I have disabled assisted GPS (AGPS) in my Nokia E71, and now GPS unable to find my position. Outdoor, and even after 20 minutes. It a clear sky, and when AGPS is enabled, it picked up position straight away. I don't want to use AGPS as it is not free - connects to internet.
I am using my Nokia E71 as GPS. I am using "Integrated GPS" & "Assisted GPS".I am using a 3G access point from my provider. I noticed that I get a GPS connection in a few seconds almost anywhere (inside & outside). This is because of the A-GPS.I know A-GPS is using the 3G network to get faster GPS connection.
Here is my question: If I start Nokia Maps (3.03): +how much KB will it use on the 3G network (for example when navigating to a location)? +how long will I be connected with the 3G network (for example when navigating to a location)? +will it be using the 3G network (downloading & sending data) all the time when Nokia Maps is open? +is this going to cost me much to use this? If I open Nokia Maps 3 times each day.
After I get a GPS connection, will it stop using the 3G network (no more paying for kb data or time on 3G network)?This is realy important for me to know.I don't want my bill to be extra expensive.
I went on holiday recently and turned off all mobile data and noticed how slow the GPS was to fix - fine - no aGPS so what I expected.But back in the UK and it's still taking a long time (minutes) to get a fix. It used to get one in seconds.So I went to the menu to see if was. Under "location and security" I have -Use wireless networksUse GPS satelitesThen it goes onto "Compass" - no checkbox for aGPS. I can't remember if it was there before but I've seen people mention it on the internet.One slight complication - I moved to Froyo when I came back to the UK and don't know if it's related to that!
After upgrading my phone to Anna, I am no longer getting GPS locks under AGPS at all. Previously, I had no trouble acquiring these locks.I did look at positioning methods and chose the right home network settings (set to NO) and I have created new server supl.google.com in addition to supl.nokia.com but to no avail... There is no choice for selecting an access point for these positioning servers, so I'm not sure if the data requests for positions are getting through at all...I installed LeGPSData and can see that there are 10-12 satellites in view but none in use.. The GPS locking problem seems to affect Ovi Maps, Google Maps or Viewranger... basically any tool that depends on Nokia's AGPS implementation......
i'm very familiar with the W715 and have been using one for the past 18 months and made good use of the AGPS feature - very fast fix times even indoors. Suddenly I now find that this phone is behaving as if AGPS is disabled in the menu. Master reset/Reflashing using SEUS and redownloaded my internet settings has not fixed the problem and even Vodafone UK have now provided me with a warranty replacement handset which performs exactly the same?! The world icon comes up for 5 seconds upon loading 'status info' just the satellites do not appear within the circles as they used to - instead they line up at the left/right of the screen until orbital data is downloaded via the strongest satellite instead of from the AGPS server. More worryingly my brand new W995 on O2 performs exactly the same which leads me to believe this is a SE problem and their rubbish about sending phone in for repair has really got me confused - how exactly will this help me? To clarify both handsets GPS chips work fine and will locate but the old slow way as if I don't have a data connection on the phone. But I do and can browse websites and check email so its not that. I've got Vodafone offering to send me yet another handset as their only solution, O2 I have a couple of days left to return under distance selling regulations but what I really want is AGPS working as it did before Called SE helpline today and they are the most unhelpful bunch i've ever dealt with. Telling me because the GPS works its not a problem, they totally ignore my comments that its not working WITH assistance. They also tell me they don't run any assistance server yet they must because you cannot change it in the settings anywhere and swapping network SIM cards used to be fine as long at there was a data profile setup.
Now two networks, two phones and no GPS assistance on either. Can anyone have a check on their handset and see if AGPS is working correctly or has a server gone down somewhere? Very lost and don't want to get blagged again when this technicial person rings me back to explain a bit better why my phone is OK and I just don't know what i'm talking about.
Since the Anna update, the assisted GPS has been functionally broken on my phone. It takes many, many, many minutes to get a lock (using integrated GPS solely, when I'm out and about).The common solution to verify "use only in home network" for positioning server "supl.nokia.com" or whatever does NOT work for me. I know I'm not alone in this, as on these message boards and throughout the internet I also see people with n8's and this problem that cannot be fixed by that positioning server fix.There was a service pack and ovi maps update recently that I had hoped fix it. Instead, it seems to have made the problem a little bit more invisible.This is what normally happens: i have internet connectivity offline (i don't have an affordable data plan). Before the service pack, I would open Ovi Maps, and after a second or so I would get prompted with a "Connect to the internet?" option with "Connect automatically/Connect this Time/Cancel" choices. Before Symbian Anna, I would do "Connect This Time", I'd get charged like USD $.02, and then I'd get a GPS lock in less than 10 seconds. After Symbian Anna, nothing would happen, I'd get notification about a "System error", and then I'd get prompted again about making a data connection. I'd hit "Connect this Time" again, but nothing would seemingly happen. It would take upwards of 10 minutes to get a GPS lock, which tells me that A-GPS is being skipped in sole favor of integrated GPS.
With the service pack, the only difference is that I don't get a "System error" at all, but I keep getting prompted to make a data connection. Even if I hit "Connect this time" nothing happens.I can further verify that assisted-GPS isn't working simply because I'm not getting charged anything by my carrier (AT&T). Normally I get a notification that my last transaction cost me $.02 - $.03, which makes sense since AGPS is just a small bit of data back and forth to narrow down GPS satellites. However, since Symbian Anna, no matter how much I tell Maps to make the data connection, I never get charged anything.For the record, I have virtually NOTHING custom-installed on my phone. Swype is the only non-stock app I have, so my phone is as basically close to factory-reset as possible. So it's not like I have something funny messing up my A-GPS.
Still no sign of anything from Nokia, and they are stopping Sygic's contribution from being available too.

I am looking into getting the Iphone 4S but i read that it needs 10.5.8 or higher and my mac is currently running on 10.5.6. I still really want to get the phone but i don't know what to do? Will it really be a problem or is it just a recommendation? What can i do if i do need 10.5.8 or higher??
I did tried to download and install iOS 5.1.1 software update but unsuccessful. How do I solve this problem? If not download and install will it effect to my iPhone 4s?
I'm building an ios webapp and i somehow can not disable the rubberband/scrolling effect in ios mobile safari. Is there an official fix for that? Something like <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-rubberband" content="NO"> or maybe in CSS?
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, iOS 5.1.1 Mobile Safari
For the last few days, my iPhone 4S has been making a sound that's like a droplet of water falling into a sink. It's at random times, and it's not a notification for anything (and isn't even an option in my sounds menu).
I have had my iPhone 5s for about half a year now. I take A LOT of photos especially with the "chrome" effect on, and until now, it worked just fine.
But I have noticed very recently that even when I take a photo with the effect, when I actually click on the photo in my album, the effect would go away; so it would appear that the photo was taken just with the original camera.
And when I send the photo through messages, the effect would not be there either. What's funny is that when I just scroll down the album, the preview of the photo would appear to have that effect.
Plus, when I import the photo through iPhoto, the effect is still there. It's just when I actually click on the photo to view it or send it that the effect suddenly disappears. Why this is happening because it worked perfectly about a few days ago.
Now, all my photos – even the very, very old ones that used to be fine – have become that way. I have tried resetting my phone two times now, and the software is up to date (iOS 7.1.2).
Bought new 3gs last xmas and have an eligibility date of may of 2011. If I early upgrade, do I get the full subsidized price next May or does the K start all over?
I am a BBerry newbie and I generally like the phone but am finding that upgrades are a huge bother.Every time I upgrade the software all my apps become disabled.I have to re-agree to the terms and conditions, re-enter the registration number (of course this means also looking it up), re-establish all my specialized setting, options, alarms, etc.This is a serius nuisance and makes the Bberry almost disfunctional for several days.I am in the middle of a call and need to check a setting and discover that I can't because I haven't re-set-up the app I need. Eg can't check a pdf because I haven't re-entered my registration for docs to go, haven't agreed to the terms, and haven't re-established its link to the desktop. Isn't there a way to upgrade the OS without losing everything else in the process?
I just ordered an G920i which I will be getting tomorrow. Is it like the Galaxy S5 with lollipop when it comes to the scrolling? I absolutely hate it its hard to explain but example: Scrolling up and down through settings or a website, its not lag its when you scroll really fast it has a jumpy affect or effect where it will scroll the opposite direction. It does not happen on other phones running lollipop except the Xperia Z2 I had.
I want to change my lockscreen effect,so i changed the lock type to swipe so the lock screen effect appears but it appeared to be locked (shaded in grey).. so what should i do to unlock it?

All my pictures I have taken recently have some sort of glow around objects and it looks really bad when there is sunlight. How do I remove this setting. Couldn't find anything for it.
Since I bought the phone I have had power saving mode enabled. When it comes to paying games like need for speed, what am I missing out on with power saving mode enabled? It seems to be running fine with it enabled.
