FabSwingers.com forum: Who's near not working

By (user no longer on site) OP

Hi all, I know this has been brought up numerous times the last few months but who's near still won't work for me. It does work with other sites so I know it's not a problem with my phone. Anyone with any help to rectify this would be much appreciated.

Make sure settings on phone are your location and switched on. Then turn it on on fab and should work

"Make sure settings on phone are your location and switched on. Then turn it on on fab and should work"

Also try clearing the location access on your phone.

And it can help others give precise instructions if you state your device details.

Have you tried a differentl web browser, such as chrome?

I've tried all of thee above already but still no joy. My phone is a Nokia 6 and the location is working on that and on other sites I've even tried an old phone to make sure it isn't a phone problem but had the same issues.

"I've tried all of thee above already but still no joy. My phone is a Nokia 6 and the location is working on that and on other sites I've even tried an old phone to make sure it isn't a phone problem but had the same issues."

It's tough - the Fab location functionality appears tougher to get working right than in other sites. Some sites have, for examples, a button that you can press, that re-activates your location info into their site: maybe fab could have this. The issue appears to cross phone manufacturer and operating system - it used to work with my Nokia, when first purchased but doesn't now. Whether a phone reset would get it working again, I don't know - but this would then entail multiple software updates, to bring it up to date.

The general advice, which appears you've followed - deactivating phone location in settings then deleting all location info from phone memory, re-activating location service in settings - potentially re-booting your phone and trying a different web browser, is I think about the standard help here.

Most posts here are about phone location not working
