Hello everyone,
I am new on this area. But I have a Lumia 925 for just a little bit more than 2 years.
It is working ok most of the time, but in the end is just a phone, you cannot expect to work perfectly.
Anyway, for a few days I noted that Here Maps and Here Drive+ do not work properly. It takes a lot longer to open than before (I would say 2 to 3 times longer). When I open the apps it locates me correctly, it finds the location I want (although a bit slower than before). Sometimes does not find the route if does not have internet connection even if the destination is a simple, populare address. It calculates a route (although slower than before). But when start moving does not make tracking.
In Here Maps, the dot does not start to move while I am moving, no matter if I have set the destination or not.
Here Drive+, the arrow does not move as I am driving, no matter if set the destination or not. Also, no voice indications and no graphic indications/directions on the screen, no speed no nothing.
Also, the phone gets extremely hot and very quickly after launching the applications.
I did the next things with no results:
- restart the phone
- reboot the phone: down volume + on/off button for about 10-15sec
- reinstall Here Maps and Here Drive + delete maps + download new maps + reboot phone
Somehow it looks like the GPS is working because it locates me, but the apps are not working as they are not tracking me as I am moving/driving.
The main reason of buying this phone is because I can use the GPS offline. Now, without being able to use this feature the phone is useless.
So, any ideas what to do before throwing it to garbage bin?
