Nokia :: Map Mode Panning Is Not Smooth Or Accurate
Feb 17, 2010
With the free Nav and great Nav screen, I am enjoying Ovi Maps. My only gripe with the software is that in Map mode (not in navagation mode), panning is not smooth or accurate. It seems to be delayed and it also pans in the opposite direction once your finger is lifted. It's not much of an issue since I use Google Maps for map purposed, but it would be nice is panning where smoother on Ovi Maps. Are others experiencing this as well? Is there a way to make it smoother?

Anyway, my 5800 had an infamous vertical stripes issue. I sent it to one of my local Nokia service centers. They replaced the screen. The new screen-while doesn't have the vertical stripes-looks worse than the old one (minus the vertical stripes issue that kept coming and going on the old screen). The new screen has a yellow tint to it; it becomes much more apparent when not viewing the screen from a direct angle. (In other words, white appears somewhat yellow.) Also, the new screen is somewhat blotchy (kind of like bruises); the color is uneven -- this becomes very apparent when viewing a solid colour image file. (The worse part is the top portion of the screen-about 0.8 cm in length-which appears noticeably darker than the rest.)There was also a tiny crack (about 0.2 cm in length) on the bottom of the frame surrounding the screen.OK, so I didn't complain about the yellow screen and that tiny crack when I received my 5800 back from the service center. My bad. (I was in a rush to go to a movie.) Those imperfections bugged me somewhath, but I can live with them. What I'm really upset about is that I think the GPS does not perform as well as before I sent it to the repair center.
So here's the question: How accurate is your GPS?Before my 5800 went to the service center, I'm pretty sure its GPS was pretty much spot on. But after it came back, the best it can get in term of accuracy is around 10m on a very very very very very rare occasion and 15m on very very very rare occasions. Most of the times it showed that I was about 100-150m from where I actually was. This is all when the 5800 is not moving.When I used it inside a moving car, before it went to the service center, the GPS was spot on - even without A-GPS. Now even with A-GPS and edge on, it can barely keeps up; it's like it's lagging 500 m behind and sometimes showed that the car was on the side of the road that the car was not. Sometimes, it even showed that the car was somewhere that was actually quite far from the actual position. I went back to the technician; he said that it's not hardware-related. He said it's software, because my phone still detects the satellites. So he basically flashed the firmware again-according to what he told me. He also told me to reinstall the (ovi) maps, which I did. I don't think these really fix the issue. So before I went back to the repair center, I want to know how accurate are your GPSs?

I installed the new Maps 3.03 and when I go to My Position it shows my current position but not accurate. I tried to search for my exact location, but no results found. I am not able to understand if GPS is working. Guide talks about some red indicator I do see one with halo red but I don't what to do with that ? Additionally when I go to Menu of the maps I see Please sign in at the top but its not clickable. How to sign in ?

Basically I had a previous iPhone 4. The GPS on it was really accurate and always managed to pinpoint my location to within 5 metres. It was also extremely responsive and would update my position the moment I started moving. However it had a dot on the screen so I had it exchanged.On my new iPhone 4 the tracking is still accurate, but just not as good as before. It often shows me quite a bit further away than I really am. On top of that, my position will keep moving even when I'm standing perfectly still, whereas my previous iPhone 4 would just stay locked on to me completely. Furthermore it has a lag issue. Whenever I start moving, it takes about 10 - 15 seconds before it starts updating my position again. Whenever I stop, it takes awhile for it to realize that I have stopped moving as well, and my position on screen will fly further ahead than my actual position. After that it will slowly move back towards me and start jumping a bit again.
Lastly, whenever my previous iPhone 4 managed to lock onto a GPS signal, it would pretty much almost have no blue-circle unless I zoomed in really close. However with my newer iPhone 4, it constantly appears and disappears again. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any solutions? Should I get it changed, again?

I don't know if I'm the only one but for some reason my s6 is lagging like crazy when scrolling down emoji it's not smooth at all and I don't remember how it was when I got it but I know that it stays the same no matter what rom or kernel. Otherwise the phone is very smooth and fast especially on custom kernels and Roms even the benchmark shows nothing unusual.

I recently (an hour ago) had my iPhone stolen, so I went to MobileMe and tracked it. It said it is about 26 KM away. My question is, how accurate is MobileMe?

But Ive just started using an app to track my bike rides. I just start the app, throw my phone in my bag and forget about it till I get home. I've been turning off 3g as the gps alone is a battery hog, however does the 3g signal aid the gps using triangulation or something?

Have had my 3G for almost 2 years now and it seems the GPS is not as accurate as it once was. I find that many times when driving, the blue dot in google maps will be up to 3-4 streets off. My girl friend's GPS on her 3G is even worse. Her's will sometimes take up to 45 seconds longer than mine to zero in on our location. Fresh OS install doesn't appear to make a difference. I feel like the GPS wasn't this bad when I first bought the phone.Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Please state your phone provider and what app your are using to determine your current location.For me IP4, O2, Google maps, I'm about 1.5 miles away from myself in London.Personally I think it makes a mockery of the find my iPhone/iPad app.I guess with a TomTom app it's using satellites so would be more accurate?

It seems most of the mods are 1.6. I was wondering if there are any Android 2.x ROMs that run at least as fast as 1.6. I don't want a ROM at the expense of the phone running noticeably slower.

I have been using the smooth calendar widget on my Electrify for a few months. I love how easy it used to sync with my online Google Calendar. Now I notice that when I look at the monthly view of the calendar, it shows no appointments/tasks beyond mid-May. If I click on any date on the calendar, it will go to my agenda and show the appointments. The appointments/tasks do appear online on my Google calendar.
I want to be able to see that I have appointments on specific dates on the monthly calendar at a quick glance. I don't want to have to scroll through the agenda to view them. I don't know what happened to change my view.
I don't know if I need to change a setting on my Electrify or if I need to change a setting online on my Google calendar.

I have one of the original iPhones. It has been working great, despite having taken a dip in the toilet. However, for the past week, randomly, it will display the wrong time. For instance, right now, it's 12:19 pm. My phone says 11:42 am. It's always pretty close to the actual time, so it's not a time zone issue. It is sometimes right, too. It's not a big deal, of course, but I was used to relying on my iPhone for an accurate time unlike my watch, which has a battery that can die without me knowing it. I use it as an alarm clock, but I've learned not to trust the time when I wake up.
Just wondering what the heck is going on with it? Anyone have a similar experience? I've noticed other odd things, like voice mails not showing up for a good amount of time after the phone call is received, text messages seeming to be delayed, and difficulty finding wifi connections.

I noticed the geo-location tag for my photos are quite a bit off from where my actual location is. Even though the pin is properly positioned on the actual location, the street name and house number are quite a bit off. Did they do this on purpose? The actual street that shows up on the detailed information for the picture is about 2 blocks from my house.

After I updated my phone to the latest firmware 4.0.4, I realised that video taking is no longer as smooth as before. Does anyone face the same problem? Can anyone provide solution to revert back to original firmware 2.3? ?

My first question is how often should you reboot your Razr to keep it running smoothly? Also, do you even have to reboot the phone at all, like you do a computer?

Since the ICS upgrade everything is smoother but I recently noticed that the only thing that remains the same is "pinch to zoom" in images. It feels like is not using hardware acceleration or something, for example when I pinch to zoom in chrome or the stock ics browser it feels really smooth, but when I do the same from the gallery app, or camera app, it is totally slow.

Is this an issue or a feature? Since I started using the S6 I noticed that the scrolling down on big webpages feels stuck and laggy, it's not smooth as it was in the G2.

I got phone calls today and every phone call had the contact name "Stephanie -insert her phone #-" the strange part was that it wasn't Stephanie calling, it was one of my other contacts. Every time I got a phone call, it would always say it was Stephanie, but it wasn't. Then, when I'd go into my call logs, it'd show the accurate names of the people who called me.
