Nokia Applications :: N8 How To Get Foursquare To Use Positioning
Aug 13, 2012
I'm using Foursquare on a Nokia N8-00.I notice that the built-in GPS is always being used by Foursquare even if it's already connected to the internet anyway. Naturally, this takes up more battery power because 2 connection types are being used at the same time.Now, I know that this can also be changed by unchecking the "integrated GPS" in Positioning, under the Application Settings.What I'd like to know is if there is a way to unable it but only for Foursquare so that I do not need to go to my settings to turn it on every time I want to use my GPS apps such as Garmin Mobile XT or Nokia Maps.
It turns that a new version of foursquare is available - running on Qt and requiring Nokia's "smart" installer to install it. However, when the installer gets to "Installing 2 of 6" it fails and gives the message "Installation Failed" followed by "To continue this installation later, select this icon in your application menu".
I have Googled and Googled and haven't managed to find a solution that doesn't require me to install a modified version of Symbian. Nothing else, including uninstalling and reinstalling the installer has worked.
I would like to request Foursquare integration into the Ovi Maps application. There is currently no working nativeFoursquare app for Symbian. Nokia would do very well to integrate it cleverly into Maps.
When go to positioning methods settings in my E72, there are only Bluetooth GPS and Network Based.Is that normal? Shouldn't there be A-GPS and Integrated GPS as well?How do I activate them?
I have installed the latest firmware on my E52 (v031.012) and the latest Ovi maps v3.03. Since, I haven't managed to find my position by using either A-GPS or by the cell that I was in.With the Ovi maps that I had before, the phone was able to position me on the map, based on the gsm/3g cell that I was in in a matter of seconds. Also, it was able to get a GPS fix in a few tens of seconds, probably based on A-GPS.Now the GPS positioning is very slow and working only in open air. Does anybody have a solution to this problem?
After I updated my 700 to FP1 it has some serious problems. At first the maps won't open and after I fixed that it doesn't locate me even outside my house.. How to fix that?
How do I allow a website to use the phones gps to locate me on a map. Can I allow specific websites or the browser in general to use the gps positioning.
I've downloaded the new free Ovi maps, but my friend played with my 5800XM and he deleted me the server of GPS positioning. Can someone please post me here the original erver of GPS positioning ?
From the manual: When the GPS connection is active, marks your current or last known location on the map. If the icon's colours are faint,no GPS signal is available.If only cell ID based positioning is available, a red halo around the positioning icon indicates the general area you might be in. The accuracy of the estimate increases in densely populated areas.Im using newest firmware and newest Ovi Maps (free always) 3.03 and have downloaded the maps to my device (5800ME). Setting Maps only to go online on my acceptance.No problems so far.But when starting Ovi Maps the cell ID based positioning is using up mobile data traffic. I dont want that. Wait for an update or is there a setting?I guess AGPS always tries via mobil data - but in my country free GPS is perfectly enough.
On my Nokia N97 mini the positioning methods are not stored.NO positioning method at all is by default stored in my N97 mini.
Therefore i have to select a positioning method first each time before I can use GPS with the new Ovi Maps. This is really annoying.Is this a known bug and is there a solution for this?
I keep getting the following message when using the new Ovi Maps Navigation - Connection to network positioning server required. Costs may be incurred. If I say no then I can continue and get the free navigation as advertised, but is there any way of stopping this message coming up?
I have a question concerning the different positioning methods that are offered by Nokia Belle and which can be selected in settings>application settings>positioning>positioning methods.So far I have only used "Integrated GPS", because I am frequently travelling abroad and would like to avoid using a mobile data connection. However, I still wonder if all the other options actually require a connection to the internet. I know that A-GPS needs a connection, but what about the WLAN/Network option? Does the device really connect to an available WLAN network, or does it only search for Networks without a connection? And what does the last option on the list, "Network-based" mean (I am not sure if this is the proper English translation)? I tried to choose only this method and disabled all the other ones (also integrated GPS), but then the device couldn't find the position.
In the menu of Nokia 800, it stated that A-GPS can be stitched off in your phone positioning settings. But I cannot find the "positioning settings" on the phone.
i have a nokia x6 with maps 3.04 installed. i have been messing with the positioning methods settings, and i forgot what the defaults were. can someone tell me what the default settings were for the positioning methods?
i have reinstalled the maps, but i still get the same settings i have after i messed with them.Do you want to get all the firmware updates for your phone? Get a SIM-free one!
After upgrading my phone to Anna, I am no longer getting GPS locks under AGPS at all. Previously, I had no trouble acquiring these locks.I did look at positioning methods and chose the right home network settings (set to NO) and I have created new server supl.google.com in addition to supl.nokia.com but to no avail... There is no choice for selecting an access point for these positioning servers, so I'm not sure if the data requests for positions are getting through at all...I installed LeGPSData and can see that there are 10-12 satellites in view but none in use.. The GPS locking problem seems to affect Ovi Maps, Google Maps or Viewranger... basically any tool that depends on Nokia's AGPS implementation......
Foursquare version 5.5 does not work,i can't check in and send message "error invalid geocordinates 0.0000000, 0.0000000" Can I downgrade to version 5?
siri is not identifying when I arrive home but foursquare does. I checked my address book address and also checked siri has location on. is there a check list of things to check before thinking that siri is just plain broken?
I found some applications, such as foursquare and Dropian, cannot be installed on my E7. Other applications, such as Gravity and Y-Browser, were installed without a problem though. I tried both of Ovi Store on the device itself and Ovi Store on PC, but both failed. I am not sure, but I guess it might be related to a Qt issue because Dropian is a Qt-based application. For your reference, my device firmware is up-to-date.
I have nokia E5, and i was forced to format phone usig *#7370#, memory card was also formated. So the problem is - how can i re-install previously purchased applications in ovi store?I thought it will be easy way, however it doesn't. Despite the fact that all of my previously purchased apps appeared in "My Stuff" section in Ovi Store applications, i cant download it, they only offer me to buy it again, I tried to solve this problem using pc, i wanted to download apps to pc from ovi store website and then move to phone. But all i can do - send a link to phone, and there i was offered to buy app again. It's just shocking omission of Ovi Store, that repels future purchases.
I just reset my N8, and when trying to reinstall all applications through nokia store some of them now cost, and when i download them were free, is there any way to recover, those were themes, i made a backup of the internal memory and c drive, the other missing application is the game galaxy on fire, i cant download it from nokia store because it is not available for my phone (N8 Belle) how can i recover those applications?
Some applications are not compatable with nokia c5-03 like a talking tom and other fun applications.always this phone hanging and restarting wen i am browsing and then ,touch screen performance is too bad...
Is there any widgets/applications that are bigger than one "row" on the screen like the one (newspaper widget on N900) in the pic attached to this post?
