Nokia Nseries :: N8 - Ovi Maps & Routing Speech Through Bluetooth
Nov 13, 2010
Is there any way to route the voice directions from Ovi Maps to bluetooth headphones?
I tried the other day, with music playing from my N8 through my bluetooth headphones the voice directions were still only coming out of the handset itself!
Not much use if I'm using the satnav whilst riding a bicycle! That was one really useful thing I found about my HTC Desire - it would send the directions via the bluetooth headphones if connected, even if music was playing! It would pause the music, say the directions, then start playing again! Sadly then the battery would die before I reached my destination
There is only one Language/voice file available in my Nokia E7. I want to have a female voice and there is no download available for E7 (on download language and voide webpage).
how can i change duration of speech turn for push to talk . phone specs shows to contact service provider. but also i could not get information from them. is it a PoC server property? or client setting ? or can be changed by OTA settings ? what sets this duration property?
The bluetooth handling on the Atrix is clumsy! It seems to make some silly assumptions. Assumptions like, if there is a Bluetooth (bt) earpiece connected, the bt earpiece must be in the person's ear -- it couldn't possibly be in a pocket, or sitting on the desk. Also it assumes that if there are multiple bt devices around You must only want to be able to use one at a time. I have three bt earpieces, and a moto roadster handsfree. I hope in the car with my earpiece in my pocket and expect to be able to press the button on the roadster to connect it/use it... Atrix assumes I should only be connected to the bt in my pocket. I have never had a more hands-free experience on any other phone ever.
On my Sony Erisson (se) phone, it seemed to very intelligently handle Becky Tripp switching/routing/preference. E.g. a phone call comes in on the se, and all I have to do is press the answer button on any of the nearby devices, and the audio is automatically router to the device I pressed the button on.... Moto? No way! You have to play the "dig around in the menus game" - ridiculous. Again, do the people who write this code, actually use it? Or are they only interested in making it "just good enough to satisfy the board members"? Stop trying to play "keep up with everyone else after the fact", and start putting effort into getting ahead of the game.
Also, on the SE, when a call comes in, there's a menu that puts every possible audio routing option on screen -- it puts the selection instantly and intelligently within reach... it asks, "Sound: Phone, Speaker, Jabra 8040, Moto Roadster, Jabra SP200, BlueAnt S4 ?" I've missed calls numerous times, because the methodology, the paradigm behind achieving user preference is so cumbersome. I cannot silence the ringer by pressing a volume key? The lack of hardware buttons needs to be addressed...
With the old version of maps I believe that when you chose "Walk" it would provide a path though streets and footpaths from Origin to Destination.Today, in central London I wanted to walk just over 1/2 mile (1km) and asked Maps for a route. It provided one - a straight line between start and destination and not suggesting which streets to use &c.What is teh point of a function if it does not calculate the route?
I have nokia E63. Ovi Maps is installed. Have map version v3.01 09wk44 b01MW map version 0.1.26.113. I just bought bluetooth GPS receiver and have question. Can I use bluetooth GPS receiver with Ovi maps? How could I pair it and use with Ovi maps?
In Ovi Maps software the voice instrucions no longer get played over the FM transmitter. What happens is, the music goes silent on the FM, the voice instruction and the music is played on the phone speakers (or Bluetooth device, if connected), then at the completion of the instruction the music goes back through the FM transmitter again.
i downloaded the free nokia maps app and i cant use it as i used to ... last time i was able to use it was 3 months ago. i am used to using it as a GPS but since the last update i cant now .... my Nokia is N97 mini and i am verry fond of it
The voice guidance on my wife's 5800 and my E71 does not work when the phone is connected to the cars bluetooth system, I think it is supposed to come through the cars speaker system, does anyone know what to do to get this working.
I don't know if this topic was already discussed here. I didn't find it.If I have activate the fm-transmitter in my car and nokia maps is running as well, the output of the music comes over the radio, but the output voice of nokia maps comes over the phone. If any advise comes from nokia maps, the connections interrupt via fm-transmitter completly.During the time of the nokia maps advise both, music and nokia maps, sending the sound via phone. Is there any possibility to avoid that problem?
On my 701, having 111.020.307 firmware, after updating maps from 3.06 to 3.08, i am still getting notification to update to a lower version , and wheneva i try to update it, its update application works but nothing works and when i relaunch my store app , the update notification is still there. Anyone can kindly help me with this? oh and my maps app works perfectly normal and flawlessly. or is this a bug that i cannot help fix it?
P.s. I have attached sum screenshots of the process that i do.
I can edit and add names to the sites and places in the Nokia Maps. For example, in the theater of my province listed as "City Theatre", but actually called "Gran Teatro de la Ciudad". I want to edit, add and edit the names as many are wrongly written and other misplaced.
For the past few weeks the Maps program will not connect to the internet. It will bring up the local wifi that is available and say that the connection has failed. But all other uses of the internet are perfectly fine. Tried restarting. Firgured next step is to reinstall the whole thing but wanted to see if there was a solution that comes before that whole bit.
My nokia maps app is not working on my nokia 603 but the nokia drive app is working well This has happened during a failed update to latest nokia maps... .. How to get nokia maps working again?
Restoring the functionality of Maps Check-in. Tried to reflash my N8 with v25.007 with Maps 3.08. After installing Symbian Anna updates, tried to access the Nokia Map's check in settings but resulted to "system error!" Since then the said error is always displayed.
Since updating to Belle FP2 yesterday on my 808 Pureview, Maps and all map related apps won't open, they simply close straight away. Tried resetting the settingso n the phone and updating the maps on the Nokia Store. Now I'm stuck. Nokia drive was my second reason for buying the phone after the camera, so I'm a bit distraught lol. I've been making fun of my iOS6 friends the last couple of weeks about their maps and now I feel a bit foolish.
My phone has all of the settings sent by the phone company. It will access the internet no problem by going through the browser. However attempting to click on the preinstalled 'store' and 'maps' button starts the programs which then error 'connection failed' connection unavailable'. Clicking on SW updates gives the same error plus "unable to check for updates. Please try later". I haven't updated my phone - not sure how to now the SW updates won't work. Is it just a case of updating the preinstalled software?
Whenever I run Ovi maps it keep showing me messages saying Memory full close some applications. I cleared history from the browser, moved messages location to mass memory. I checked if I have space on c drive from my laptop I can see that I have 150 MB free out of 276 MB. How I can get rid of this annoying memory full messages?
The latest Nokia Maps update refuses to install either via Nokia Suite or OTA (version 3.8.105) but simply says that something went wrong/isntall failed and doesn't even report an error code. I installed another update for the phone 1 week or so ago and Maps wouldn't connect to a GPS-satellite and thus was unable to navigate but this seems to have corrected itself with the reset. I've tried soft resetting and returning the phone to factory settings but the update still refuses to download and install.
I came to know that we can use OVI Maps in Offline in N900 from the below url http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/tips/maps/. But it asks a connection to proceed and search in OVI Maps doesn't work well. As well the locations are not auto populated. guide me to use OVI Maps effectively in offline in N900.
FYI, I downloaded the required maps in to my N900 using Nokia OVI Suite
How do I remove/uninstall Public Transport and/or Maps Suite from my N8/Belle? Public transport is useless unless you are traveling to those cities - it should be optional to load as are the maps.When I check via Nokia Suite on my PC I can see those apps listed as installed (see pics.). But I CAN NOT see ANY of those in Settings -> Installations -> Already Installed. Is there any other way to remove besides from resetting the phone?
I have aN79 and use the fm transmitter to play mp3's loaded on it via my car radio system.When using nokia maps at the same time the transmitter is turned off when a voice comand comes from Nokia maps then when it is finnished it comes back on again.
Why can't/arn't the comands transmitted to the car system the same as the mp3's as they continue to play from the phone as the comands are deliveried.
Is this as good as it gets or can you get it to work with the transmitter?
I was deleting some apps from app manager and I accidentally had to delete something important because from that moment my Maps aren't working. I got System error second after loading starts. I upgrades my soft - didn't work. I deleted the maps and install it again - didn't work. I soft resetted my phone - didn't work. I formatted memory card - didn't work, I always get this System Error.
I wanted to download the maps. But the PC Ovi Suite is just busy forever, without downloading anything (I used Performance Monitor to find out it was doing nothing for hours).As I have unlimited data plan from my phone, I decided to try updating directly from the phone instead. It successfully downloaded the list of maps, but when I selected one of them"No Wi-Fi network available. Please configure a WiFi access point in the phone Internet destination settings."Why should I do that? -- I have a working connection on that phone (as evidenced by the successful download of the list of maps). So now, I am stuck. How can I download the maps?
