Hey all. So I live in Milford CT, yet no matter what I do, the location features of this phone continue to put me in Mastic, NY. When I use my GPS on Maps, everything is fine. But all of the apps and websites (Google, Facebook, Beautiful Widgets, etc...) keep determining my location incorrectly. I searched on Google and out here, but not having any luck. Any thoughts? Anyone else found a fix for this, outside of manually setting location?

Lots of posts with people on different ROMs having same problem. It is probably a Sprint network error. Try updating PRL and Profile and try again. Make sure you are getting 3G or 4G at the time.
Definitely have network 3g/4g showing will try the prl and profile. Thanks

Prl and profile take forever and don't do anything when trying to update.

Still sounds like some network issue if the prl or profile update won't go through. Did prl and profile update work before?
Before flashing this rom and modem they were able to check and update if needed

I had this problem yesterday. All of a sudden I lost 3G and it kept dropping in and out. I couldn't update profile or prl. Then it started working again in the evening. Perhaps it will clear up tonight or tomorrow. I will look around and see if anyone else has found a fix or it just cleared up by itself.
Thanks for the help, it's appreciated. I don't have access to Internet in home, so I use my phone and its hard to search through a lot of posts

No problem. Found a few people still having mms problems off and on. It would work for a day, not work, then work, then someone had it out again yesterday. Definitely looks like Sprint. Keep trying to load the errored pix and see if they start to come through.

However XDA will open up, so as my browser but Words with friends won't work and the market of course isn't working I'm running SetDNS.
I tried disabling JD didn't do any good, tried disabling SetDNS no luck either. My phone has encountered this before.
I'm on CM7 with Seppuku 17.5 this just started happening during playing Words with friends mid game. And trust me its not a kernel issue it will happen on stock CM7 too.
Is this happening to any one you guys? TIA for help
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Nope same setup and I'm not having any issues with the market? clear data and cache and retry it as well as with words... yes I know stupid suggestion but hey go for it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
clear data on download manager
Once in awhile I will get a connection error on CM7 but toggling Aitplane mode fixes it for me.

Didn't work for me I kept doing that and even uninstalled market updates, Nothing. I don't use download manager. And
Have toggled airplane mode on and off. Like I said its only the market. I'm still using wifi right now on XDA postin this.
Edit: Just cleared data from download manager still isn't working I tried rebooting, turning off and on. Also My date got reverted to jan. 1 2005?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Try turning off wifi, with 3G on, clear data in gmail, log in, sync, then clear data in the market and go to it. Hopefully that will refresh your market connection.

That means your in sync with google network you didn't happen to close out google services in running services? Cuz that would cause the green to go away

Network is not required to use GPS. It is just one of your app using GPS to determine ur position such as weather app, map etc

Can I get GPS navigiiation without any data on S3? Like how a GPS works! Can I download maps for North America on the SD card and use it as GPS when I am travelling out of my area? Thanks
If you purchase a third party GPS app. I know Google maps allows downloading of small areas
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
If you're planning travel the same areas over and over you can always save the maps on Google maps. You can even save multiple maps like the entire route for a trip. It won't be able to tell you traffic though, that requires data. Easiest is to get a 3rd party navigation app that has preloaded maps.

Have you tried this clearing the cache from Pandora? - (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Pandora > Clear cache).
Sent from my SPH-D710BST using xda premium
Yes, I have actually multiple times. But it never works. Would a proxy work.

Hmmm, I'm not sure. Have you tried downloading a previous version of Pandora? Maybe it updated and is conflicting now.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've tried the latest doesn't work. And a version 1.7.1 neither work. But if I load it on 3g and switch over to WiFi. Then it will go for maybe 15 minutes and won't load up again.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Does Pandora work with other devices on same network? Maybe the port is blocked on the network? That's where I would start if it's at work especially
Edit: reread original post disregard
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yes it works on every other device. Even iPhones

I have the same issue where I work. I was able to get Pandora running by using a proxy address under my WiFi settings. After the proxy and port info was entered, everything worked fine. Hope this info can help you.

Thanks. Now I know I'm not the only one. If you wouldn't mind telling me where you got the proxy address or website you got it from.

The proxy address was from the tech guys at the business I work for.
