Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: GPS Navigation Won't Work - Cannot Find My Location
Nov 12, 2011
I have a problem with the gps navigation software that came with the phone. It used to be working, but now it seems that it can't find my location, although I have the gps signal activated.
if I start Navigation, it says: "Checking the availability of the navigation-function." Nothing more. Navigation wont let me in the Program. The message could be written different in english, because i have got it in german: "Verfügbarkeit der Navigationsfunktion wir überprüft".So, what is the matter? Why it's only checking? I went out for it, had free view to the sky, didn't put my fingers on the GPS reciever.....It checked for about 30 mins now, and nothing happens.
I got a problem with my Z2 gps system. A few app's say that my GPs is turned off when its not and the weather widget can't find my location, and whem i'm lucky it does but gets it completly wrong, usealy about 15km in the wrong direction. Strangely a lot of GPS requierd app's work fine. Rebooting the phone hasn't worked and re-instal the non working app's neither. At first i thought the problems where in the app's but I find it hard to belive that that many app's have the same problem and also the weather widget that was factory installed doesn't work properly.
Navigation used to work fine on my X6, but since having to do a hard reset of the phone (due to other problems!) I cannot use the Navigation.
Everytime I get the error 'navigation cannot start at this location' and it doesn't seem like the phone can ever pick up my location.I have tried un-installing and re-installing the application but to no-avail!I haven't even wasted my time calling Nokia Support, as they are totally useless!
If set up my house as a safe location so I wouldn't have to unlock with code when I'm at home, but it doesn't work. How can I get it to work? It is set up at the right address, are there any other settings I should look in to?
I want to know can I change the application location from phone to SD card cuz my phone keeps notifying me that the phone storage is getting low,and I don't want to remove the installed applications on my phome
I have a brand new SK17i and it seem great ... everything is workig as it should! I have a problem with data usage of a process named "network location" and I have GPS, and location via WiFi turned off from day one.Is there any way to turn this process off since it's using around 15% of my rather small data package?
Encounter error with the xperia z3 weather widget ?
The auto detection of location does not work. I have set the update interval to every 2 hours.
Before i left for work the location on the weather widget is "Kampong San Teng"
When i reach office and after 2 hours the location is still "Kampong San Teng" only when i manually go to weather widget and tap on use my location then it will change to "Buona Vista".
sent an off market file to my phone via bluetooth which did not install because i had not unchecked the 'install off market' applications.after that i now cant find the files location to install it.
I have a Nokia N8 and my maps app always has me between 'within 400m-3km of my location' (also happens with Google Maps). I've taken this back to the shop twice who assured me they fixed it but I'm still not getting an exact location.
I'm using Xperia mini Pro. Android 2.1. I see my wifi scanning but it never finds a network. Also the battery is been used by wifi. But I cannot find any network.
To find the real SI number, first, you download to your phone the application "function tester" by sony,then you open it and you go to "phone facts" you will see the "application software ID" there is your SI number. Mine is1249-7702.
I used to take pictures with the front camera of my xperia mini pro! But now the icon has disappeared and I don't know where is it! So I can't take front pictures anymore! I would like to know if I deleted the icon, or if it's anywhere else!
I have downloaded pc companion, the usb connection is fine (phone is visible) but I cannot find a connection to go online via pc. Have I got to create a connection??
So yesterday i could text fine until suddenly it came up with an error every time i tried to text someone "unable to send" or something, so i looked on here and tried the *#*# thing, and i need a smsc number, but i dont know how i find out what my smsc number is?
When using check-in you get a list of nearby places to select from. There is a small icon on the upper right corner that seems to be an "add location" feature if your current location is not listed. However that button is always greyed out.
I am using 3.06on and E6 and am logged in properly to maps and have no problems checking in and using existing locations.
My Nokia history:2110 => 6110 => 8110 => 6310 => 2300 => 2600 => 6070 => E71 => N97 Mini => E72 => C7 => E7 => E6 => 700
I'm using N8, firmware : Belle, Map just updated to version 3.09.When checking in through Map app, the add place button in check in app is in grey color and unable to add new place if no suitable place found in the list.
I installed maps 3.0.8 a while ago and was working fine. I used weather widget frequently. Was in the USA last week, Belle came out for my N8 and I upgraded. Used weather widget there, and it showed me USA local weather for Wayne, near Philadelphia.I am home now in Novi Sad and weather widget still shows "Weather for Wayne'' and the temperatures and forecast are for Novi Sad. I tried to go put get GPS lock on Novi Sad in Drive. No change. I can not remove ''Wayne'' in any way I tried. I am having correct forecast and current temperature but I can not remove name of the location.
GPS is not working in N8-00 after Symbian Anna software update. Previous it is working, when I will open the Map, it is not locating the point where we stand, only it is searching, their is no result at all.
I just uploaded a movie (*.m4v) to my phone in a directory I made called movies on my SD and the video player can't find it. It only says 'No Videos' How come? I even tried to move the movie to the / but that didn't help.When I use a file explorer there is no problem finding the movies and playing them, but the phones movie player can't find them. how I can get the movie player to list my movies so I can play them without using a file explorer to find the movies first?
I couldn't find the Image stabilizer option in menu in my xperia mini pro after upgrading to 4.0.4 /.587 build. Does any know where can i find it and how to turn it On.
I have a xperia mini, have had it for 2 months.First I had no problem getting on the internet with wifi. But now the phone can't find any wifi connections, not in my home not anywhere. I also noticed that the wifi deactivates on the phone a while after I've tried to activate. At home all other devices and phones can use my wifi, it's only this phone
I recently bought Nokia Lumia 920 in UAE. It came pre-installed with all Nokia location service apps - Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive+, Nokia City Lens, Nokia Transit. By default, a lot of stuff, directions, routes, info comes in Arabic language. Now, i am an expat living in UAE (like the other 90% of the population) and i do not read or understand Arabic. How can i make all these apps show me info in English? Its bugging me a lot cause am unable to use any of these apps properly.
If you have a Defect Tracking System, I can seriously take up the job of Ad-Hoc tester.The first time I tried the Backup, I was connected to PC companion ( I was going to perform a repair, I wanted to back up first)Turns out that Backup doesn't see the memory card if the phone is connected through USB.
1- It should at least improve the error message and indicate that Backup operation can't be performed while connected via USB.
2- Why can't it perform the backup while connected via USB in the first place? In fact it would be great to allow the back up to store the data in a directory in the PC via PC COMPANION.
im using xperia mini pro with ics updated yesterday. everything works fine but when im using the camera,i cant find any button to switch between the two camera.
