GPS
Software that I think needed for me to download: Speedview, Gps test (to check out the GPS if NO WIFI connection), if WIFI is connected, to verify GPS working, just click the Maps or Latitude icon and I can see my house on Google map. Speedview actually shows the errors of our speedometer while driving, it’s about 2 miles difference.
With GPS installed, I want my device to be a navigator for my car when I travel. I have not tried any paid software like many forum members suggested, I just use Navigation built in software from Google and it seems to work great. I need to get the current GPS location and the Google map for the destination, it will calculate the driving direction and starts to navigate even when we leave the WIFI area.
I typed Frys and all Fry’s electronics stores came up (amazing Google)
Now, we’ve verified that the GPS is functional. Next we want to test all the physical ports.

I own a Toshiba Thrive Tablet, 10 in. Model AT100, I bought it new 3 years ago, I had it for about 9 months and it was working great! Then all of a sudden 1 day it just stopped, “Black Screen”, I did the factory reset on it finally, you know, Power Button + Volume Button and all that and wiped all data, now for the past 2 years it does power on (When Fully Charged) but it seems to be within a Loop and COMPLETELY Stuck In Boot Mode! it will not boot all the way up, I can’t even see any interface or settings at all for that matter! I have left it plugged into the power and turned on for no less than 3-4 days at a time! Nothing! Just keeps a blue, ring going around and around on the screen! I have heard before something about the firmware needing to be upgraded, but how am I supposed to do anything to it without being able to fully boot-up or find the correct build numbers and all the other info I need from going into the settings to retrieve such info? Please! Help! Iam at the end of my rope with this, but I cannot just let it go, because when I bought it I had to lease to own and I have sunk around $900.00 into it to pay it off, Plus I just Freaking Loved the Damn Thing! Please e-mail me if you can provide me with any information or idea what steps I can take. Thank You So Much For Your Time, ~marilyncovert~
Dear Marilyn,
I’ve had that kind of problem before, or until now, I don’t really know how to help you with this one. You can try to Google Thrive forum and ask the experts there. My son still has the Thrive, but he seldom uses it. It’s been so reliable. //www.thriveforums.org
