I got a LG Optimus 7, Location services is turned on but in bing maps it doesn't find my location, in fact it doesn't find my location in an app. Anyone else experienced this?
I have heard of something like this, but only when the Instant-Resume hack is in use. If you did that, revert back and try again.
I've been experiencing this also. I have a LG Quantum. I didn't care that much, at first. But it's been eating away at me to the point of irritation. I don't know if I should wait for a MSFT fix or to just get a new LG Quantum at my local AT&T Store...
Personally i would hard reset it and if it still happens then i'd get it exchanged.

I'm having issues with Google Navigation and I'm wondering if someone can help.
Let's get this out of the way first. I'm running the CM7 Nightlies, but this isn't a GPS issue. I've done the GPS fix. GPS is working fine. I can see myself in Maps to a 20m accuracy even when I'm in my concrete bunker of an office building. Google Maps sees me just fine.
I can scan around in Maps and I'm getting the satellite layer updates. I know where I am and I can see where I'd like to go. I can click on the location and the Places update comes up. I can surf around in there, read reviews and do all that that app offers. So far, so good.
If I click on the Get Directions it will provide me with a list of directions. Awesome. I know where I am, I know where I'd like to be and now I know how to get there. Great!
If I click on the Navigation button Google Navigation comes up. It goes to "Getting Directions" and will just sit there... forever...
I've cleared the app data. I've even reinstalled Maps. It still will not work. Is anyone else having this issue?
Just another piece of information, if I install Waze and all of this works fine. I can even see other Waze users driving around town live. It's not a GPS tracking issue then either. Should I just switch to Waze?
Wow... I can't believe nobody else has this issue. Has anyone else tried this?
Because I really hate it when someone has an issue, fixes it themselves and never lets anyone know how, I bumped this thread to post what the problem was and how I fixed it. That way, if anyone does a search for this problem, they have both a reference and a resolution.
I believe the problem was my overzealousness in deleting apps that I didn't use or didn't believe I used. When flashing a new ROM, the first thing I always do is go through the /system/app folder and delete the crap I didn't want on my phone. One of the things I always deleted was the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. I never use the quick search widget because I always pull up the browser for Google searches.
I updated to CM7 Nightly Build 39 yesterday and, instead of pulling that APK I decided to test the GPS, Maps, Places and Navigation interaction. I was able to get an almost instant GPS lock. I could scan around Maps and get the layer updates. I could find the places I wanted in Places. Then, for the real test, I attempted to get driving directions to a local restaurant. It came up in a couple seconds.
So, the morals of the story are to not delete things when you aren't completely sure of everything they are tied to and don't give up solving problems on your own when nobody else is able to help you. I hope this helps someone.
no problems here. i think u deleted something.
Hi,
Recently my Lumia 900 is not finding it's location when I use apps like Bing Search or Yelp. When using the built in Bing search it finds my search request but when I click on the directions icon it is unable to find my location and gives me a No Location Information error.
The only app that consistently gets my location is Nokia Drive. I'm getting frustrated that many of the apps that use location are not working. I've enabled location sharing for the phone and all the apps to no avail.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions?
TIA!

Mine is doing the same thing. It used to work fine. Over the last several weeks it has been getting worse. I've uninstalled most of the apps that have access to location to see if they were causing some interference with something but nothing is working. Local Scout fails to load anything half the time now, too. Nothing has changed with my phone. Never dropped, never abused, and used to work like a charm.

To be honest I can't tell if Local Scout works well or not. It never has what I want (like an option to search) so I just use better apps like Yapf or Yelp. I do know that it took a while for my location to be correctly determined when I was in NYC this past weekend. Today on a drive from southern Vermont to northern New Hampshire, my Nokia Drive lost GPS a few times. It took 5 or so minutes before it was back on track.
Do you guys also have issues with losing/having an incorrect GPS location while using Maps or Nokia Drive?
Hey all,
Verizon LG G3, just purchased a couple of days ago. I'm beginning to notice some apps that simply aren't available on the App store. Most notably, ESPN Sportscenter. Anyone know why, and how to fix? I read somewhere that it could potentially be because the app isn't compatible with the Quad HD screen?
The app itself is highly likely to work fine, the issue will be that the Play Store entry will need to be updated by the dev effectively ticking a new box to say that it works on the resolution of the G3.
That is all they need to do.
Best way to do this is to email to ask them to do it, although you might find that larger companies just ignore you, but we have to try.
I had the same problem with MS Office so I looked on the internet for the apk and it installed works fine.
Same thing happened with the DNA, but much more apps. It'll take a few months for some.
My GS6 grew into this error about 6 months ago so I stopped using the phone. It is showing up in all apps, on WiFi and cell service, not just chrome from the screenshots. Ie a lot of apps have problems because they always thing that I have an unsecured connection. If I refresh, I can usually get in to work, but it takes time on each website I visit. I am confident it's the phone, but have no idea beyond that.
Since the error has started, I have hard reset, re-rooted and re-flashed and gone back to stock again. Nothing seems to fix it. I've even followed a few websites which seem to try and fix this.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea for a fix? I'm willing to re-root and flash, but that might have been what got me into this mess in the first place. I am really out of ideas and am about to sell for parts because it's been so frustrating to deal with.
Thanks in advance!
There are several possible solutions, all listed here: https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/fix-ssl-connection-errors-android-phones/
The easiest is to check that the date/time is correct on your phone. If that is out of sync, it can cause these problems.
One other possible cause is to check the accounts on your phone. Maybe an old work account of something that is no longer active? Even if you only have one account on your phone, delete it and then add it back.
It was suggested I come over here and see what's going on. I've got a 5t with Oxygen.
I've never been able to get Android Auto to load, once. It always says "Something went wrong - Google Play services doesn't' seem to be working right now."
I can't Force Stop the Google Play services, or deactivate it. I've cleared my cache. I don't have a Android Device Management App installed either.
I enrolled and updated to the Google Play services Beta, but haven't still can't force stop it either.
Where do I go from here?
I don't know about this issue.
But I can say I use Android auto daily in my car and have no issues.
I have a Volkswagen caddy 2017 and use ob3
I sideloaded the app because it is not officially released in my country. I use version 3.0.
@dashbarron,
I have the exact same problem . I've also gone the play services beta route with no joy. I've tried literally every possible solution I've come across on the web, still no joy. I can't get past this.
Did you ever get AA to work? How?
Thanks!

I don't know if you have used Android auto before, so maybe you really like it and my advise maybe of no use to you. But while it is good to use, I soon reverted back to using split screen, top half for nav and bottom half to easily switch between music or radio or whatever else you want, even set up a YouTube video before you get going if it's something that doesn't require your focus on it, with gestures it's safer than messing around with the complicated controls in my car! And I have the plug in version of Android auto built into the car, I literally only plug it in when I have my daughter's on board so they can call out ok Google for whatever tune they want on. Anyway that's how I roll when driving and I'm driving all day everyday, hope maybe I saved u some time getting it working
