Nokia 5230 Gps problem

Hello guys, I've brought my Nokia 5230 recently and I've soon discovered a problem with the gps function. The problem is every time I tried to see where I'm or the gps function it takes ages and it still can't detect any gps signal, I've been to many places, home, library, in my car moving through town and really it don't pick up any signals. Does it matter if I don't use internet at all? And are there settings that I have to follow? Thanks in advance.

Hi rexlee123
Sounds as if you are not utilizing the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network access point. Whereas you can set OVI Maps to "Offline" if regional maps downloaded, if you just rely on Integrated GPS reception will be quite poor. You need to check in Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning server > Access point and also in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations - that WAP access point has not ended up in "Uncategorized" folder where not utilized.

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 ]

5230 GPS fix problem (have gps signal but no gps f...

hi
i have a nokia 5230
software version V20.0.005 / 23-03-2010
custom version 20.0.005.315.02 / 29-04-2010
type RM-588
not updated
CODE 0597862 - Latest available software for your device Version 20.0.005
GPS positioning methods:
A-GPS = OFF (I dont have/dont want data traffic charge)
IntGPS = ON
BlueGPS = OFF
Network Based = ON
Positioning server use = disable
Software used:
Default nokia gps applications - GPS positioning (not the ovi map)
Nokia sports tracker v3.50(0) (S60 3.1) 2-08-2010 (mostly for GPS logging)
Garmin XT
The problem - GPS fix is taking (sometimes) very long periods from 1 - 5 hours or in same cases it does not make a GPS fix. Other times (about 25% of tries) it calculates GPS fix in a few minutes (1-15min).
I use the GPS only outdoors within open sky and hill/forest (not in urban, tall buildings). Usualy is clear sky or clouds, but not storms.
The Satellite info page displays me the satelite signals, and usually I have about 6-11 satelites bars and from them about 4-7 with more then 75% signal.It is very frustrating to have gps satelite signal and not have a gps fix. This is obvios a software related problem not a weak gps signal.
DOES anybody had this issue and know how to solve it? I suspect a firmware bug... but I dont really know.
Thank you.

My new 5230 takes ages to get a GPS fix. Nokia suggested the following. It seems to have given me route not found errors but I'm still testing. I reproduce Nokia's suggestion here it case it helps you...

Image open problem in nokia 5230

Dear All,
I have nokia 5230 mobile & i am using from last 10 months but from past few days i am facing problem regarding image/songs open problem. whenever i trying to open image my phone gets hang & it shows nothing in it but i have 100 pics in memory card, same problem is with songs whenever i put some songs in memry card but songs gallery after refreshing shows nothing.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Vipul

im not sure what to do about the images but the same happened with the songs. here is waht i did:
1. make sure you have the latest firmware installed (fw. 50).
2. when it is installed copy all tracks to pc and install nokia ovi music.
3. delete the folder called 'music' on your memory card.
4. open ovi music and add songs to playlists and copy to device. this will create a new folfre called 'music' and the error should be fixed
if that fails you should try a program called lcg jukebox as this is a much better music player

Hi, i have purchased nokia 5230 one month before. After one week i have notied that my phone network has some trouble in automatically accessing the network. I am using airtel network and then i contacted the shop and they said it may be sim problem so they said to take duplicate of the sim. After taking the duplicate sim then also the problem existed. Again i contacted them. This they said to update the software, so i gone to nokia care and updated the software and they said the problem will be solved. Then after a day when ichecked again the problem exists. So again i contacted the nokia care this time they took the phone and said they send the phone to nokia for company service and said to come back after 15 days. Yesterday they called me the phone is ok and ready to collect. So got the phone and when i checked again this problem exists. This time i tried using another network Aircel and it shows no problem. Now it clear it has some problem with airtel network. Please can any one help me to sort this problem. I am using software v20.0.005.

Is your 5230 set to dual mode (GSM + UMTS) in the network settings? Switch to GSM only and observe the difference.

Nokia 5230 v 21.0.004 phone lock problem

hi, I've recently updated my nokia 5230 to v. 21.0.004 software/firmware. After I turn off and turn it on back again, It asks for phone lock code, I entered standard code 12345, its says code error, but still I can use my phone. The phone management setting for phone lock is off, I tried to change the phone lock code, but after I re-enter the new code, it says "you've entered the wrong code five times, you can unlock in five minutes" or something like that. Is anyone have the same problem with me or have a solution for it. Thanks

if you can still access full function of your phone, reset your phone to factory setting. It is also recommended to do factory reset before formating(soft rest/hard reset) phone or firmware update. And disable phone lock. Some users reported that same code(used earlier) is not recognise by the phone after soft reset and firmware update

Marking unmarking problem with nokia 5230.

Recently most of the college studends having Nokia 5230 or 5233 mobiles.
In this mobile, while marking unmarking, all time we have to go to option and select mark unmark. so please update software for this issue.

That one of few things I hate on my 5800, it is a real pain on the neck when you have many items to mark. That was never given any attention by Nokia and I doubt an update would be released to make it better.

Nokia 5230 - problem: SILENT while calling!!

Hi!
I've been using my nokia 5230 about a month. Recently i'm faced with a very annoying problem:
When i call somebody or receive a call the phone gets SILENT. That means i don't hear the voice whom i'm calling (or who is calling me). But the person whom i'm calling (or who calls me) hears my voice. This problem doesn't appear every time but occasionally. I've the latest firmware on my phone.
I'm really frustrating about it. Imagine you get an very important call and your phone doesn't work properly.
I'm very thankful if somebody can help me!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
I had the exact same problem.
I did a full backup using the updated OVI suite, and then followed your directions:
back up all your data first type in *#7370# security code is 12345
It performed the reset, but I could still not hear callers using the handset; my volume is turned all the way UP.
The speaker phone works fine, and music plays fine, the only problem being I am unable to hear a caller through the phone unless I turn it on speaker.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Just an FYI for others; after the reset all text messages were wiped out. When using the RESTORE function on the updated OVI suite, NOT all of the text messages that were backed up were restored.
Thank you.

Strange Problem Nokia 5230.. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!...

This is my think the most difficult problem till now in techie things. Now the problem is :- I have Nokia 5230. I was using Tata Docomo since the day it was launched, i used it in my Motorola L9 and it was working all good. Now i got Nokia 5230 and was using Docomo in 5230. After some days i updated my phone firmware to v20 and since that day i was having problems called Connection Error when i tried to call. So from that day,people can't call me/message me/ or vice versa. Now the strange thing is GPRS works 24/7 but i can't call or vice versa things. So i did 2 things :- Interchanged Sim Cards, i put Docomo in Motorola and Reliance in Nokia now the thing is BOTH ARE WORKING FINE!!!!! IDK why, but Docomo works fine in MOTOROLA, and RELIANCE works fine in NOKIA but DOCOMO DOES NOT WORK IN NOKIA (except GPRS). I can't interchange sim cards to repective phones, because i got 5230 only for GPRS and i use GPRS whole day and i need Docomo to work.
