5800 GPS, clarify online usage?

I tried searching around existing topics, but was a little confused at the replies I found, so to clarify:
So I was testing out the GPS, had Bluetooth and A-GPS disabled, network and integrated enabled, and it still connected to GRPS and cost me. I didn't have it before, but I've turned the prompt to go online on now, and if on that prompt I select not to go online, will it still cost me? And if I don't use online, I would assume the GPS wouldn't function as well/quickly, but it will still work right?
I tested it just now, by selecting to not go online in just one location. It didn't send or retrieve any data from the network, but it still shows in my log that there was an outgoing connection to GPRS. Is this normal, even though I've told it not to go into online mode? 
Thanks for answering.

It will go online to load the maps, if you haven't used a PC and MapLoader to predownload the maps to the phone first.
Also, it will want to go online for searches, if an offline search doesn't produce results.
So, start by installing MapLoader - you also get it if you install the latest PC Suite from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite - and then use it to download the maps for the countries you wish.

  • Some of my text messages do not show up on Verizon online usage

    My husband received a text last night from a friend.  Then 2 minutes later that same friend texted me.  It shows this friends text on my online usage, but no his.  It has since shown messages that we've sent to each other so I know it's updated.  Why does this happen?

    We both have the same exact phone.  Droid Razr M.  Thanks though!

  • Faults on BT's online usage meter page

    Assuming that it is July 1st today, surely my online usage meter at bt.com should have reset to zero. It still shows 30GB used out of 40GB (Option 2) as if it were still June.
    What's more, clicking the Help with BB Usage links merely replicates the same page.
    Something is not right. Woe betide BT if I get charged for exceeding my limit.

    Mine's been reset in the last few hours between about 0200 hrs and 0830 hrs on the 2 July, with a new date on the left - 1 July 23:59. The previous datestamp on the "incorrect" meter page was 30 June 23:59.
    But here's a strange thing: this morning at about 01:30 my Home Hub page was registering a reboot 3 days 12 hrs ago, and an incredibly wild usage figure of 45GB download, 7 hrs later it reads 2 days 22 hrs with the same d/l record

  • Online Usage anomally

    Here is an interesting one. I had a faster broadband update email :-
    http://view.btemailsonline.com/2010/04/14/cell_1_migration_advice.html
    and my date was 18-Feb-2011.
    I'm not really sure if it has completed, though the hub shows a connection time of 1day 11hrs at the moment (it's usually very stable in my case). The modulation is ITU-T G.992.1
    I just looked at my online usage, and I have kept a small spreadsheet and up to 14th Feb it was 6.61GB usage - matching all my computer checkers.
    Here's the latest figure - so I'm not sure if the update has caused this anomally or if there is something else wrong :-

    Hi Andy,
    Sure looks like it doesn't it , a bit like my problem here, except that mine jumped forward by about 9 gb over 13 days , but it was just after they did some work at my exchange.
    Strange 'cos I had a lift & shift and a card reset yesterday but the usage monitor agrees with my own checkers, well so far anyway.
    Del.
    It's a weird one, and if I was on option 1 and hadn't made a note of my usage, I would be slightly concerned whether the actual usage was the chart figure alone, or in addition to a hidden figure before this strange reset.

  • Online Usage Meter?

    Years ago I was able to get a report from the My Account section of the website to see my monthly usage. I can't find any clear links to such a tool anymore, and when the search results for this site come up with a link to the "Online Usage Tool", the link just takes me back to My Account. Am I missing something?

    I do recall seeing that link way back when. I think it was used more for those who still used Dial-up from Verizon, and not DSL (FiOS wasn't well known at the time of that link being around), but as far as I know it was always a broken function. It was probably removed because Verizon doesn't employ Data limits on their Wireline services (thankfully) and Dial-up has pretty much passed us.

  • Online Usage Statistics

    This post is about online usage statistics
    Why are they not provided, when BT clearly has the information (it's provided in the "over the limit") e-mails that BT send?
    Why does BT continue to ignore (for at least the last 2 years) the several e-mails / complaints every day on the subject to the (Indian) Customer Service Centre?
    The standard answer is "download tracking software", but that's fairly useless and impractical for multi-computer users
    The next common answer is "check the Hub statistics", but that's also unreliable due to periodic resets
    The real answer is for BT to provide this information from the point of collection - i.e. their servers and via a web gateway
    So come on BT, provide the information
    TIA
    Martin

    So I got another warning today about exceeding the limit
    Same story, no definate data, no knowledge when online data would be provided
    Except that the man said "it used to be provided online, when usage limits were less"
    If it was provided - why is now witheld ?

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    The online usage meter is a day in arrears (as shown on the left hand side given the date/time of the uodate). The update always shows the usage for the month so far up to midnight the day before. On 1st of the month it will show the total usage for the previous month. From 7am or soon after on the 2nd, it will start again.
    For non unlimted packages, it does seem a little strange, but the relevant date is the one on the left for which the usage figure applies.
    The online usage meter is not real time as can bee seen by that date on the left.

  • Some questions on the 5800 GPS

    Hi folks
    i am debating at the moment whether to upgrade from my N95 to a N95 8GB or the lovely 5800, i prefer the symbian OS so im glad to stay with these two phones. now i had tomtom 6 working fine on my N95 and i know it will work ok on the N95 8GB but the verdict i find on the interwebs is a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work on the 5800. however i am more interested in the Nokia Maps
    now as i understand this program is included and you can use the A-GPS built in GPS but can you use an external source? i have a BT GPS antenna and would be happy to use this to avoid paying A-GPS charges is this feature still ok with nokia maps? also is it possible to just run the nokia maps through the built in GPS and not using the A-GPS.
    i also just want to clarify something about the maps too, as i understand it comes with the function built in to navigate you point to point but doesnt include voice instruction. you pay extra for that functionaility?
    thanks very much folks id love to give the 5800 a twirl as much as i love the N95 i love to try new stuff

    Thanks! I'm planning to head to the shops tomorrow to get 5800 XM.
    I never actually tried seeing if there was a visual turn by turn navigation on my friends' phones before because I thought there wasn't one. Hmm. Do you mean the "tracking" option? The very early version of Nokia Maps on N95 had that tracking option (Maps 1.x?), but the new ones don't (Maps 2.0).
    Paying for navigation is a bit steep for me after I convert the price to my currency. So I totally understand! I might try monthly though for special events.
    Thanks for the kudos. Do skim through the rest of this board section. You might find your answer since 5800 XM uses Maps 2.0 which is available in other phones too. I learnt a lot of info from here.

  • 5800 GPS Not receving anymore

    The gps on my 5800 started to connect to my telephone operator to receive his location (over the internet) and after this he couldn't connect connect to the satellite any suggestions to solve this problem?
    What are the consequences of a reset

    First of all.. do you want the GPS thru' internet or not ?
    You may have to wait for some time for the GPS Lock... Even though I select A-GPS and Network assisted , I never get it working inside my Home. Normally when in open space or in my car, I use Integrated GPS only ( no network usage)..It used to take anything between 5 to 20 minutes to get the GPS Lock depending on which location I am... I have upgraded to Maps v 3.06 beta and now max it takes is 5 minutes.. mostly less than 30 secs..

  • Help! I can't use my 5800 GPS

    Keep in mind that I am a female ( I dont get GPS at ALL ), and I have been having a lot of trouble with the GPS.
    I just can't figure out how to use it. I have read the FAQ on Nokia's website which tell me NOTHING.
    I open the GPS, and it shows my current location. I press Options > Search > Addresses
    And I put in the address that I want to go to, and it says not found.
    I then put in another address. Not found.
    I tried 5 address in 5 different ways and every time it says it isn't found.
    I have full reception on my handset and the latest Firmware.
    How do I go from one address to another?
    Please help :/

    I typed into my ovi.com account on my computer, the following:
    Alpha Street, Blacktown, New South Wales, Australia
    I found Alpha Park near Westpoint Blacktown Shopping Center between Patrick and Balmoral streets. If that is what you are looking for, I can only recommend as a minor fix to your issue to add a bunch of your favorites on your Ovi online account and sync them to Maps on your 5800.
    That is what I did for about a dozen places I go to a lot and it was much easier on my computer and easy to sync. 

  • Using Nokia 5800 GPS and accepting a call

    Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to answer calls while the GPS is on on my Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition.  Currently, when I use the GPS and someone calls, I tap the answer button, but I get a message that says not allowed.  I was looking around in the settings, but can't find anything.  I was hoping there would be a way to answer the call and turn on the speakerphone so I can drive and talk at the same time.  Anyway know if this is possible?
    Thanks!

     Getting my first call during active turn-by-turn navigation, I wondered about this strange behaviour too. As it is I dont see any green phone icon on the navigation screen. With the terminal placed in the included windscreen fixture, it is hardly traffic safe to have to press many buttons to get the handsfree activated! Nokia could consider another option on the main screen when a call is waiting to be accepted, for going directly to speakerphone-mode, or at least a configurable option within the maps application. As of now it jumps back to the maps app, which induces the added (two) press of the application switch button. I suppose buying a separate handsfree kit might 'solve' this basic issue, but that should really not be needed out-of-the-box with a dedicated navigation edition. If someone figures a setting that I have overlooked, I would be pleased to get a hint, thx.

  • Nokia 5800 GPS Problem

    Hello, 
    i have an Nokia 5800, and i can´t use the gps with a satellite signal, only with the GPRS.
    someone can helpme.
    thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Hi i was facing similar problem here in bangalore(India)
     All you Need to Do is to stay in some open area(Outside your house or anywhere)
    1.Open Maps 
    2.click on My location
    and Keep the device searching for satellites (there are 6 of them) .
    it would take at max 45 minutes
    3.Be patient  for 45minutes
    4.Dont forget to load MAps for your country
    5.Nokia GPS works without any need of Wifi or Telecom operator for
    Nokia Maps
    6.If you have google maps installed ,
    GPS will work too ,but it will ask for WIfi connection or network operator to download maps
     7.Nokia location application is awesome
    you can see you speed,navigate and do lots of things
    but google Maps is no less
    [just it needs some connection to download maps from internet ] 

  • 5800 gps not working..

    the standard gps features have been disabled in accordance with market regulations.

    Perhaps your phone was intended for sale in another country?  Did you buy the phone online or locally?
    You cannot activate the GPS yourself.  Only a firmware upgrade from Nokia can do this.  You must contact Nokia (you can use the "Contact us" button at the top of this page) and figure out with them what the problem is.

  • 5800 GPS issues

    Hello,
    I have bought my Nokia 5800 about a month ago, and since then I have used "Maps" quite extensively.
    Sometime last week I found out that GPS does not work anymore, as if it cannot process the signal.
    It shows that GPS is available but does nothing (positioning does not work).
    I have upgraded my "Maps" software just today, but it still does not work, either indoors nor outdoors.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    aGPS will give you a sat lock fairly quickly. Using only integrated GPS could take hours and then only lock on 2-3 sats. I think it is because the integrated GPS antenna is exceptionally weak. I have seen the same complaint is other forums, including the GPS forums. The only solution I have seen so far is to buy and attach somethng called a reradiating antenna. However, I don't see that being of much help except for use while driving.
    If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.
