I'm using an Android phone, with the GPS locator turned on.HuntStand says it can't find this device's location. What next?

SOURCE: My phone wont locate my LG bluetooth.

Just because your phones Bluetooth option is turned to on doesn't mean it's searching. I would try going in to your device history and clicking on new device while your Bluetooth is in pairing mode.

SOURCE: HTC P3300 GPS not showing correct location

Most GPS systems have some inaccuracies.
The accuracy of you GPS system depends on your location, the number of satellites available on your location, if you are inside a building or in open field. Also standing between buildings increases inaccuracy.
So most of the time there is a deviation from your location. An inaccuracy of 30-50 meters is not xtremely bad for a GPS receiver in your phone.
Try to go to a place without buildings, trees close around you, best is to do this with a clear sky, and give the GPS receiver some time to find satellites and calculate it's position. Now the inaccuracy should be no more than about 20 meters.
I don't know the quality of the receiver in your HTC, but I think a accuracy of 20 meters should be possible.

Please post some feedback: where are you when you get inaccuracy of 50 meters? what's the inaccuracy when you are in open field?

Good luck

Hi,

Sometimes it can take a TomTom many minutes to obtain satellites. To give it a chance and to test it make sure you have a clear 180 degree view to the south ( that's if you are in the northern hemisphere ) . Its to the north if you are in the southern hemisphere.
So, put the TomTom with it's back facing the equator ( all the GPS satellites are above the equator in an arc ) it's almost straight up in fact but towards the equator.
If you switch on , let it boot up , then tap the screen near the bottom right where you see a bar graph . ( see photo's and finger indicates where to tap position )
The screen will change to another screen and again you should have the bar graph on right hand side with a battery symbol either below or above. once again tap the bar graph and a larger STATUS screen should appear. You should be able to see the TomTom scanning for satellites . Any it receives will be GREY but grey ones are not yet locked on. If any of the bars on the TomTom get a fix or lock on they will turn BLUE . Only when the TomTom has 3 or more BLUE satellites can it present a fix on your location. If none of the bars on the graph ever turn BLUE then you have a faulty TomTom or possibly corrupted data on the SD card. If you get ANY of the bars turn BLUE then it's likely your TomTom is working OK but is just having difficulty locking onto any satellites. You might have to wait a while or move location.
Once the TomTom gets a fix , even if you turn it off then on again it will remember what satellites it was locked onto before so it should not need to scan again and should find the satellites real quick or at least quicker. See photographs below for the 3 stages to go through to check status.
( NOTE : The photograph shows a TomTom ONE v2 but almost all models of TomTom show similar screens ) See last photo where one of the bars is GREY , this shows it's receiving that satellite but it's not strong enough to get a fix from it. The last bar shows the TomTom knows there is a satellite there but currently has no signal from it. The BLUE bars show good reception and fixes on those satellites.
I do hope this helps solve your problem but if not then please revisit this forum and post any questions again and i'll see if I can help.

SOURCE: Garmin Nuvi GPS won't acquire satellites

There is a known hardware bug in the Garmin 600 series relating to the detection of the connection of an external antenna. The GPS is supposed to do this automatically and when it detects an external antenna plugged in it switches out the internal antenna. Unfortunately, this circuitry doesn't work correctly in some versions of the unit and sometimes it get's comfused and thinks there is an external antenna connected when there is not. This causes the behavior you describe because, for all practical purposes, there is no antenna connected.

Garmin can fix this and they've been known to fix it even on units that are out of warranty. There is a fix that can be done by someone with the right equipment and know-how which requires disassembling the unit and bypassing the antenna switch. Not to be attempted by anyone not experienced in micro surface mount PCB re-work.

You need to charge your gps from any external charger and check whether screen is working properly .

Also do firmware update for your gps .

By updating firmware your problem can be fixed .
