Nokia :: GPS Working / Satellite Or GPS Server
Feb 19, 2010
I am a little bit confused about the working of GPS enabled phones like how they work and get your exact location. I use E71 phone which has integrated phone and I have downloaded nokia maps to my phone.
My question is: My phone is directly communicating to satelite to get my location or is it going to some other GPS server or Nokia GPS server. I am very much sure that if you want to know your exact location then GPS has to contacted your device directly. But still have some confusions.
In-case of my phone is directly communicating to satelite then it should work without GPRS or internet connection on phone. But the interesting part is it doesn't.Can anyone please put some light on this and my request is do not put your thinking only reply for which you are sure and can provide some material if you have.

I have a simple problem with the GPS navigation on my E71: it's not working.When I start the application I only see a red dot and nothing more. I checked the satellite connection and I always get the same message: no connection.First I thought that the GPS only works when there is an internet connection, although this would be very stupid. But I get the same message: no satellite connection.I actually want to use the GPS when I'm not connected to the internet. Is there a setting I missed or is this a general issue with the GPS for E71?

To continue the above header, that's basically what's happening. I got the phone last Thursday, started futzing around with it on Friday, and set up the stock Sense 5 TV App. I put in my postal code (Canadian), picked my provider (Bell East) and set up my TV and surround receiver. Everything works manually by physically punching in the three digit number to change channels but the "auto channel selector" seems to zip along a little to fast for my receiver to recognize any more than a number or two.
For example channel 600 is HGTV and all I see is a "0" pop up after a second or two. What I'm looking for is an easy to use "wife friendly" app that has a Canadian guide that is push-button friendly and that I can input a delay into to actually be able to use the IR blaster as a remote...
So far I've tried the native TV App and Dijit. I don't mind paying for apps but my two minimum requirements are a guide feature and capability of delay..

Can anyone give me some advice about the Satellite view (and even terrain view) of ovi maps. I've put version 3.03 (but the problem existed in the previous 3.01) on today - which currently looks nice and works better, but when I select satellite view (map displayed -> press Cogs -> press Satellite View) the map view is replaced block by block by a repeated patteren of green stripes.Is this the expected behaviour, or should I be seeing a satellite image? I have left the phone (N97) displaying the map for about an hour hoping that perhaps the map would get updated, but so far only 16kb has been downloaded.
The map was loaded onto the phone by Nokia Map Loader.The green stripes result is the same regardless of whether drive mode or walk mode is used.Am I doing anything wrong?

I've a Nokia E55 with Maps 3.04. Up until a few days ago, when I used Maps I had a nice small bar in the lower right corner showing satellite reception, and also a small bar showing data transfer. Now I just have the data transfer bar and the satellite status bar is gone.

What should I do if my n97 could not receive satellites signal? When I check satellite status, appear this message: " no satellite data available" My friend is standing right beside me and his Samsung is connecting to the satellites in a few second.

Whenever I snap a picture or record a video and exit the camera application, the satellite icon remains on. I have to switch the mobile on/off for it to disappear. What's weird in that is, when i use the front camera, it appears again. Do you think the GPS remains on even when exiting the camera?

I am facing problem with the navigator on my new E6 nokia. it takes too long time to connect to connect to satellite! Before i was using E72 it was taking around 1-2 min to connect,, but with my new E6 it takes more than 15 to 20 minutes to connect! Is it normal to take this long time? Can I do something to speed it up?

I am using a nokia 5230 with maps 3.03.When i click on my position inside the app it doesn't locate any satellites, the bottom where the bars are there is only one yellow flashing light.When i click a location and select drive to, it just gets stuck on waiting for GPS and the yellow light for satellites keeps blinking and im outside without any cloud cover!.
Also one more thing, i downloaded the male_us voice pack, what folder do i put it in for it to show up? i tried putting it in E:citiesmale_us and in E:citiesdiskcachemale_us and E:citiesdiskcacheviocesmale_us and none of them show up in the options where you slect them.it still prompts me to download them.i don't have a data plan and this phone doesn't support WIFI.

I've bought a new 5800 Xpress music recently and have three questions with Ovi maps:
1. I don't see any satellite (photo) maps when selecting the satellite mode in the display options; instead, the map is just filled with a pattern of alternating dark green and light green linear areas. How do I enable real satellite data, as shown in the attached picture?
2. The update speed of the map when navigating on foot or by car seems very slow. Is there some way to increase / improve this?
3. The phone doesn't seem to recognize really well if I hold it vertically or horizontally. Can I improve that behavior, or switch between manually?

I can confirm my 4S and all my other devices are not able to activate iMessage after it is toggled off and back on. It simply stays stuck on "Waiting for activation" and eventually goes to "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on imessage to try again". All with no avail. get your engineers on this ASAP apple. More and more people are facing this issue. Devices that are already receiving and sending imessages are unaffected. However when you toggle imessage off and then back on, it does not reactivate. This must clearly be a ongoing issue with your icloud server from yesterdays outages.

My phone is a 9900 unlocked from Rogers. My phone is absolutely working fine EXCEPT for the GPS. I can get the GPS to see any satellite. I tried running self test from the option menu and always the same result. Since it is a Roger phone, the warranty is with them and I don't think they will service it b/c I am on a telus plan. I know I can get a temporary Roger plan but I rather not. I tried the phone in a lot of locations but still the same result.

I am interested to know, how to use my BB 9630 for Satellite navigation (Turn by turn Instruction). As of now it only displays the coordinate os of the location. Is there by any chance this can be used with the network from service provider as in case of Nokia navigation.

What does the satellite use to get your location from elm phone? I haven't set a tracking device in my stolen elm J10i2 and am looking for a way I can use built in GPS to track it.

I've only noticed this since my KitKat installation-
It seems that when I do something that uses the radio (refresh my Yahoo email, check/send a text message), the little satellite icon pops and flashes (im guessing its a satellite).
This always happened before, but it would eventually just go away.
Now mine just blinks for hours on end and my concern is that its draining the battery.
