I keep having problems "check-in" on Facebook using mobile data, but no such problem when i am connected to WIFI. The app kept proposing me to on my GPS after searching for some time.
Same problem when using a bus arrival timing app which can locate nearby bus stations.
I remember i was able to locate myself easily without the need of GPS. Can anyone advise any settings that i check or turn on/off?
I'm using unroot D802 G2, locations turn on (including the one on Chrome/ Google location). Mobile network: tried both 3.5G and 4G, no avail.
Appreciate any help / advice.

Hi guys,
in the building where I work, the signal doesn't reach inside, but I do have the possibility to connect the HD2 to the internet using Wi-Fi.
I can go on any web page using any browser, but my HD2 won't never update the Meteo or the Stock Action screen unless I get a 3G connection, which by way costs me heaps of money.
I would like to know if there is any way to sincronyze the Data Services also with the Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks,
Alberto.
mmmm strange... it seems to work for me fine... let me check my settings

Alberto,
I can reproduce the problem. With the phone off and Wi-Fi enabled, no update is received for stock and weather.

My HD2 updates only using the phone line (instead of the free Wi-Fi), and as in my work place my operator doesn't reach directly, I wasted a day worth of salary in less than a week!
Any help on HOW TO FORCE the HD2 to USE FIRST Wi-Fi connection, or ONLY Wi-Fi connection to update will be really appreciated!
Been looking and still couldn't find any clue.
Same problem here and by the way, try turning off the phone connection and downloading an email attachment using wifi only, download speeds are REALLY slow - I suspect it is still using the cellular connection even though the phone says it is off
i'm not sure if this is the same problem as you, but my phone always updated using data connection instead of wi-fi, you had to turn off the automatic updates for weather, email etc. But sometimes it wont update my weather using wi-fi it just says unable?
..got the same problem, cant update the weather with the wifi only..i disabled the automatically update and then turned on the wifi but still nothing..
No problems here updating weather or stocks by wifi...

What settings do you need?
Your meteo update settings for ie., and also your operator name and connection settings
Hey..i found an alternative way to update the weather in my city through wifi and it finally works!
Go to weather app and just add your city as a new location..after that go to your home screen and tap on the world clock where you 'll see: ''my location'' and your city recently added..just tap it to your city and thats it.
That works for me.
Thanks!
Let me try this and I'll tell you if it works also for me.
Hi there.
You should check on the "Configure Wireless Network" page if the combo " Connects to:" is set to "The internet" instead of some other network
is there a app that turns off/disables the wifi when you leave the range? blackberry had an app for this and am hopeful android does too but i cant seem to find any so was wondering if anyone knows of one.
I'm going to bump this because i've been looking for this same program.
i think juicedefender (the payed ultimatejuice actually) claims to do this? it never worked for me though, but apparently it does for other people. give it a shot
i found 1 that sounds like it would of worked but cant find...
Sanga Wifi Enabler will automatically enable your wifi adapter only on those
locations where you actually use it.
When you are at a place where you don't regularly use your wifi adapter, Sanga Wifi Enabler
will turn off your adapter, thus greatly improving battery life.
Includes also bluetooth management.
also found and tried this BUT i didnt see it turn off my wifi when i went in town and noticed my GPS never stopped so i had to turn it off because i felt that along with my unused wifi being on i was using gps non stop...
Wifi Auto Enabler
Active or desactive automaticly Wifi in one or many zones saved . This soft not use Gps for save battery but use Gsm location .
(CELLULAR ( GSM ) LOCALISATION MUST BE ACTIVED ON PHONE PARAMETERS )
I use one called Y5 it turns off and on my wifi based on my location. It seems to work well.

now this looks like it might work! many thanks.
i figure the best way to make a working app is to save my location via cell towers around me like how phones without gps can guess your location within a area by triangulating the location. saving that specific location on an app just monitoring not using gps sounds like it might do better on battery with check ever so often (30min,1hr,...). once my location saved and i am in it the app triggers on the wifi. if im out of the area it truns the wifi off. im just sayin heh.
I have a fascinate which i bought outright for use as a GPS / media player / itouch replacment and im having issues with the app marketplace...
Every time i try to set up the account using wifi it says could not establish a reliable data connection.
how can i get past this? is there some way i can trick the phone into thinking its running on a data network when its really going through wifi?
Also, every time i turn on the phone its asking me to unlock / set up the phone. i get out of this by using *#83786633 but its a bit annoying, is there anything else i can do? Its a verizon phone and im in canada, so no luck going to V. and asking them to fix it...
would putting a custom firmware on the device be of any use? i have rooted the phone, just cant download any apps through the marketplace. Is there a way to manually install apps through rooting?
My bet would be that you're not fully connected to wifi, to be getting that message. I've been using mine on wifi since I got it, and have set everything up fine. The only time I ran into that problem is when my router went out, it said I was connected but there really was no connection.
As far as the activation screen issue, no there really isn't any way around that. Its there because the phone really should be connected to a network. (And I'm not 100% sure if its going to connect to GPS without being connected to a data network? I've never tried.)
Well if I use airplane mode it turns my gps receiver off however if I use the code above it lets me use gps and wifi no problem. Hell I'm on wifi now on the phone but it won't connect the phone to my google account tho if I go to google.com it works fine.
Any ideas?
oops double post, mods plz delete this
The same happened on my Eris. Best bet is to use data to activate. Turn of syncs and then use wifi to sync. It cant be all that much data. Once your active you wont have a problem using the market and stuff over wifi. Thats what I had to do on the eris to use it as a wifi toy when i got my fas.

Hello,
I bought a Nexus S and use it in France. I get a 3G signal, but whenever an app tries to access the localization info, the 3G signals disappear and my phone gets disconnected from the internet.
I tried with Maps, Foursquare : each time the app requests localization, 3G goes away.
When WiFi is enabled and if I'm connected to a network : no problem.
Could this is because I did not configure well the Orange (FR) APN ? I don't think so since this is pretty well documented.
Thank you
Hi to all
I have gen1 blade with tpt for gen2. Currently it is with cyanogen-mod 7 ROM. I'm pleased with this phone but it does have one problem. GPS is not working!! To be exact device fails to "see" any satellites. With WIFI I get lock but only because of WIFI and trace of IP address. I heave used modified gps config file but that got my AGPS working, not regular GPS.
I have tried to find service manual on internet and failed....
Any ideas on how to solve this? I did check antenna connections that i could see and all seams to be fine.
No one?
I have tried Swedish snow rom but had same problem. replaced original gps.conf file;e with modified one and still had problem.
I guess u have not switched on the location services.
Go to settings location services then tick mark all and in GPS source select internal

AGPS works. I do get position according to WiFi but as i leave WiFi covered area I don't get tracking. No updated GPS position, according to software there is no visible satellites.
I have given up on getting this fixed. I have tried different ROMS and programs. Only when i get location from WiFi using ether Google maps or Locus I have position. Using GPS Test app i never get position. Same goes for other apps. I do have old (5 years old) BT GPS dongle and he finds position and satellites within 1minute using this mobile.
I have tried to find service manual or some sort of technical info about GPS in this mobile but found nothing.
