Nokia :: Why POI Database So Limited?
Jan 26, 2010
I have tested Magellan and Tom-tom but always Garmin is my personal favorite. I have Garmin Ique 3600, Nuvi (350, 200, 780) and XT, which is also on N85. So now I am testing Nokia Maps.First of all, do we call Nokia maps or Ovi maps? Second I tried to search Staples, Office depot, Home depot and found NONE, and when searched Macy'S found many (all searches off-line). So is Nokia maps designed for Women. On the other hand Garmin XT bit slower search but found all.So my question is can we download PIO databases, not one or two PIO but tons of them from somewhere. Also is there a way so that Guidance will say 200 FEET instead of 365 YARDS.

I am running Maps 3.03 on an E71. While this version provides free turn-by-turn navigation, which is great, I find that providing the destination address is much less convenient than it was in the previous, non-free version. Before, you'd enter a city from a menu and having done that, you got a menu of valid streets within that city and so on. Now you just get a single text-input box into which you have to type the address (and deal with the system's invariably wrong attempts to complete things).
This step backward provides an additional incentive to want to be able to choose the destination address by indicating an entry in your contacts database. Navigate me to THIS restaurant, or the home address of THIS person, etc. There appears to be no way to do this, unless I'm missing something. And, inexplicably, there also appears to be no way to copy-paste an address from the contacts app to the Maps app. I've attempted to check the documentation, which in Nokia E71 tradition, is useless.
If I'm missing something here, I'd appreciate being enlightened by someone. If I'm right about this, this is another example of why Nokia's market share in the US is miniscule and why their share worldwide is dropping. Smartphones cram a lot of capability into a very small package, which places a huge premium on user-interface design. This is a major factor, perhaps THE major factor, in the iPhone's success, despite the fact that it's not so great for making calls (unlike Nokia phones, which excel in that department).

I recently moved all of my Ovi Music wma files from my c: drive to a networked location.
Unfortunately, now Ovi Music has two entries for each track in its database which I don't want to manually go through to delete each item.
Is there a way to clear the database and start again? Or have Ovi delete "orphaned" records?

Just because I want to, I'd like to be able to download the entire Ovi maps database - every detail of every corner of the Earth, not just all the cities/countries available in Nokia Software Updater, which I've already gotten. I figure that if all the roadways of every country in the world only occupy about 7-8GB on my 32GB drive, adding the terrain of the remaining unpaved/uninhabited regions of the world shouldn't add that much more.Or, at least less than I have available room on my drive.

I noticed a weird bug or limitation in my E72s PDF reader. When I open a large PDF file, I can't seem to browse past page 151. Manually nor using 'go to'. My firmware is 22.007, latest for my region (Netherlands). Can anyone confirm this? Trying to read any PDF eBook should do it.

I am looking to get an e72 for work and wanted some help re the voice recorder function. I do a lot of interviews in the course of my work and find it handy to use my mobile as a backup voice recorder in case my dictaphone fails (which does happen every now and again). My current phone is OK for this as the voice recording is in mp3 format and is decent quality with no restriction on length of recording. My previous phone had a 2 minute time limit which made it useless.
None of the reviews or tech specs that I have found detail the voice recording on the e72. Could someone who has the phone do me a huge favour and check this for me. What format does it record in? What is the quality like if the phone is on a conference table, could I realistically expect it to record a few voices at up to 2m away? Is there any time limit? Is it easy to transfer to PC and play in windows media player if necessary?

I was given a brand new Tour 9630 (sprint device) from a friend at R.I.M.When I tried to swap over from nextel, I currently have the 8350i, They told me that the IMEI# or the ESN #? was not in their database and the phone could not be provisioned. I was told that someone from sprint, like an engineer would half to put this in for me to get it up and running. Its a new device made for sprint, however its directly from Blackberry to me. I complained to Sprint that I was ending my account after the hours of passing me around to someone else. Then and only then they pulled a ticket for me and said they are addressing this issue

Some sort of database with SBSettings icons? Ive been using "Modern Simple" I think it is only because if an icon hasn't been made, it just solid red or green and still looks good. However, with a theme like this So, does anyone know where I can find a bunch of SBSettings icons for themes?

Since short I have this new S6.I love the fingerprint authentication option.Every now and then though I get this message that an error has occurred in the fingerprint database. After this no fingerprints are recognized anymore and I'm forced to log in with the Backup password. After a reboot the issue seems gone, but then it returns after a while (period between seems to vary). I have four fingers entered in the database, that normally all four work correct.

I got a problem before using Backup/Restore... I notice that everytime I restore my contact, the "STARRED IN ANDROID" check box accumulates (see pix below).. Those unchecked box represents the number of times I restore my contact.After further investigation, I tried to restore different backup data and found out that the number or "STARRED IN ANDROID" represents the number I backed up my data.

I tried to unlock my iphone 4 on the Vodafone's website. But if I follow the instructions it tells me that my IMEI is not in their database and they will contact me in 10 business days. I'm going overseas in 10 days and I wanted to make sure my phone was unlocked by then so I'm trying to understand what is going on before it's too late.My boyfriend and I got an iphone each with Vodafone, he just tried to follow the instructions and all went well for him. The only difference I can think about is that a few months ago my iphone was exchanged for a new one at the genius bar because they couldn't fix the problem I was having. Could that be the reason why Vodafone can't find my IMEI? Is my phone actually locked if it's not the same one anymore? Will Vodafone be able to fix the problem or do I need to do it through Apple?
Info:
iPhone 4

Unfortunatley I have just had to pick up a replacement Z3. Â
Â
With this one, I am having issues with the WIFI range. Â Where with my old one I could get WIFI in the garden (Router is in the living room on the first floor) and at work I sit the furthest away from the router, but again on my old Z3 I had no issues. Â This new one, as soon as I leave the living room the signal drops and disconnects, and at work the WIFI only connects as I walk past the router.
