5800 and GPS

I thought it would be possible to get a GPS fix without incurring network charges. Thus in the MAPS network option I selected the device to not go online at start up. But from my Pay as you go charges I see it is contacting the network. So I switched to offline profile but that prevents any sattelites being recognised.
I would like to be able to make the choice between paying for a fix in under a minute and waiting a few minutes for a free fix.
Is this normal behaviour or something my network provider T-Mobile Pay as go has cooked up to make money.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

  • Nokia 5800 and GPS and standby

    How do you prevent the 5800 phone going into to standby while using the GPS maps?
    While driving it a pain to constently bring out of standby - not worryed about going flat as it is on charge ... Help where are the settings?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry, I should have been clearer when i said in your maps application...
    I didn't mean the main menu's settings, I meant when you launch the maps application itself, there are settings IN the application.
    Please go to Maps > Options > Tools > Settings > Navigation > Backlight...
    Hope that clears it up for you.

  • LG Ally text message and gps problems

    hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
    i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
    gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
    anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

    I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.

  • Still ashamed of using 5800, and being the butt o...

    Just before posting this message, I saw a few comments about N97, and I can understand exactly the disappointment and frustration these users are, because for the past 4 months, these are the agonies I experienced.
    Want to reiterate, over the past 9 years, I only use Nokia phones, impressed with each phone that I change, the functionality, the speed, their thoughtfulness for users, reliability. All until I made the ultimate mistake of changing to a 5800XM
    Just want to ask, how did the development of the S60 5th edition go about. Because I still feel that each screen, each module is designed by a seperate person.  What do I mean?
    For example, Writing a SMS has a different layout for different language. Writing in English and other language for example, different screen [of course I notice there is only left and right button for English and 'Up down left right' buttons for other languages.  The Green Tick placement is different.
    I don't know how other Nokia users feel, but being in an area whereby we do use multiple language to write and reply SMS, this is terribly irritating.
    Why am I irritated? Simple reason being, in the other phones [eg 6280], simple, phones give better User Interface [UI], consistent, functional, well thought out. And here suppose to be a new phone, and the functionality has gone back equivalent of 5 years ago.
    Guess these modules are written by 2 different person, and they both have never shared on how to improve the module together. Plus I guess the author of these modules come from an area whereby they will only write SMS in one language only and never experience how users need to switch between languages, or even multiple languages within 1 SMS.
    I can expect people helping Nokia to explain.. oh.. it's a new software on S60 5 EDITION. Things are new, lots of development needed, untested. What I cannot understand is, even if they just had followed their previous successful formula of UI, what could be wrong? Just because it is a new software, functionality has to suffer a total loss?
    Also the excuse of 'oh, you must understand, this is touch based, and it is different'. I find it one of the worst excuse. Touch based means more intuitive. So Why can't it just be the same level of functionality, with only having to touch. Instead, they come up with new formats which they try to be creative with their UI and failed miserably.
    Challenge for the dear people at Nokia who did the UI for 5800 [and now N97 I guess since they use the same software].
    1) Select a user in your phonebook and prepare to send him/her a SMS.
    2) Write a SMS in English, but suddenly you need to key in 10 characters in Chinese.
    3) Click on the Green Tick.
    4) Stare hard at the USER name, and can you tell me the mobile number you are sending out to? Do you know you are sending out to the correct number if the user had 2 mobile numbers, one landline number, one office number, one fax number in the phone book. Stare hard and tell me it has never occured to you , you may just need to see the number beside the USER name, just to make sure it is the correct number. 
    Challenge 2
    1) Key in your best friend number to send him/her a SMS.
    2) Send out the SMS.
    3) Look at the Sent box.
    4) See your best friend's name? NO!!!!!... you see your best friend's number only? BUt hey, wait a minute.. I also have his number in the PhoneBook. Why do I see the number here?
    5) Oh, of course if I wanted to see the name displayed out, I will have to select his name from the phonebook, select send SMS to him, only then will I see the name displayed in the SENT box.
    6) Yes yes, I can see this is a new feature, because in the other phones, with actual keypads, this has never been seen before. Numbers keyed in are recogznised by the names if they are in the PHONEBOOK list.
    Challenge 3
    1) Select Adaptive Search functionality.
    2) Select on your PhoneBook
    3) Select on the bar to search for Steven [or anyone that starts with a S]
    4) Wow, all the letters pop up for you to select the key. Yes, it is a fantastic idea.
    5) Ok, you found your friend's name and called him.
    6) Ok.. Now go to SMS, and you can't remember his number. Select the search bar.
    7) Please don't tell me you don't see the difference in the screen. Coz most likely you will see that the alphabet ends with R, and you will have to switch to the 2nd page to find the S.
    8) Please be honest to us, and to yourself. Do you find that intuitive? Do you enjoy going to the second page in the SMS mode, but you get the full list for the phonebook.
    9) Or is it because it is possible that different modules are done by different person who don't bother to review and see if they could have programmed it consistently?

    Challenge 6
    1) Has anyone notice how big and friend the alphanumeric keypad for SMS is? [admist all the inconsistency of different language]
    2) Big nice buttons for us to press. Nice
    3) Think the developer just like nice big buttons to press on the screen. But wait a minute, I need to SMS, and I'm in the SMS mode.
    4) Look at the display of SMS. 4 lines [use small fonts and you get 5 or 6]. Wonderful, I get to see 6 lines maximum, and but WOW!!! I get BIG NICE numeric keypad to press - something that took up 3 QUARTERS of my wonderful huge over 3" display screen.
    5) Maybe the developers felt, why would you want to key in so many lines of text. All you need is nice big buttons to press.
    6) Maybe some will argue, this is to make it friendly, nice  and easy to key in. Or, there's limitations to how big or small the buttons can be.
    7) True, but hey.. look at the calculator layout. Yah I agree, there are some buttons which are different from the alphanumeric keypad for SMS, but look the layout and size. And look at the number of lines of display.. Don't you think that you would like to see that much of your text [if you had key in 160 characters?]
    8) Or would you rather write your message, missed out something in the front of your message , press the NICE GREEN TICK BUTTON, see it displayed on a full page, select the area, then go into the TINY TEENY WEENY space, position the cursor with those NICE HUGE LEFT RIGHT [UP DOWN buttons also if you hare in different language mode} to that area which you need to change on that tiny text area.
    9) Doesn't it feel good?
    8) If you tell me the calculator is functional at that sizing using the keypad, what is so different from SMS texting?
    9) If I know better, the keypad layouts and sizing should be interchanged between the functionality.
    I guess, no one at Nokia will ever bother to read these. , or even admit to seeing all these comments.
    Some can brush these comments aside.. "We can't please everyone", or "These are just wishlist. We have to look at the big picture", or "Customers will never be satisfied" or "Don't worry, they COULD be included in the next FIRMWARE update". 
    Or all they need to do is to believe once again  that " we design phones to be used and enjoyed by everyone" and not "my developers has to do this this way , so be it"
    I was curious about other touch phones, so I took a look at the various SamSang a song that was LeallyGood.  First time user of their phone, and I was enjoying the intiutiveness. Guess that is what our dear Nokia developers lack, the "Human Touch". After all , they are the largest phone company in the world. Maybe they will bother about their customers and supporters, fans when they drop to being the 2nd, 3rd ,4th or last
    But at least I must still admit, speed wise, 5800XM is still quite acceptable [when compared to the N96 which I made the mistake of buying in replacement to my 5800XM]. Imagine how I feel, to get 2 phones that gives nothing but headaches, heartaches, being rediculed when people see you using a Nokia phone. Double regret within 6 months. Have you waited 3 secs to respond to your selection. And the number of reboots, hanged up application, unresponsiveness..
    Anyway, I'll leave my gripe about N96 till a later stage.  It' s not a problem with symbian S60 V5 or V3 or whatever programs.  It is a lack of "HUMAN" in the company that is causing all the problems.
    Why am I frustrated. All I see solutions around is " Oh!!! Have you upgraded to the latest firmware", "Do a *#7780*, do a *#7470*, if you can't solve it, send it to CUstomer Care. Same solution to different problems? Ever think about the root of the problem?
    Firmwares frequency. Too much and nothing gets changed except "stability issues, better camera quality".  What a joke, you get a phone with 3.2megapixel inbuilt... and the first pictures you take is horrible. Then with updates in firmware, the pictures gets better. Why on earth was it first released with horrible quality pictures and improved with updates? Is camera function something new for the company? Or no one bothered to test the product before launch?
    Or wait for 6 months for a huge update [to clear 4 dozen faults, problems,]. In the meantime, the company is trying to say "Oh well, too bad you bought a reduced function phone. If you want the phone to work like a real phone, please wait till we accumulated enough problems from feedbacks, my developers has time to rectify the problems and we will release the updates when the time is right. If you cannot wait, please buy our latest phone [for eg. N97], which solves some of the problems you are facing right now, but has 3 dozen of new problems"
    By the way, I've been to Nokia Customer Care since the 1st week of buying the phone. I've already visited Nokia Customer Care 6 times over 6 months. Not too much, about once a month. I guess that's quite acceptable to most people? Or is it?
    I really wonder, what phones do the developers at Nokia use if they need to purchase a phone. And I mean purchase like everyone else. And I'm really interested to know what phone does the boss of Nokia uses. If he had seen all these problems, would he use it still.

  • Nokia Cancelled updates for X6, 5800 and 5530

    Hi,
    Nokia  X6, 5800 and 5530  users please Stop dreaming about Updates, Nokia was not updating these devices
    Please Check the below Site (Original Blog with nokia anouncement and is edited on 25-Aug-11)
    http://www.conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/29/updates-to-symbian-3-2-and-5-0/
    Shiva

    i think some confusion is there & i request dont jump directly to the conclusion that nokia wont release the update for these models...by striking off these models from the list it means that these models wont receive that particular update which they have mentioned in the blogpost...
    Maybe they are going to release a bigger & major firmware for these models...so dont jump the gun & wait for their response....i think Nokia will release the updates as promised cos models like 5230,5233,etc have got the updates then 5530,5800& x6 are more successful models..so i think nokia wont disappoint its large no. of users....
    I request Nokia to please come forward & clear the air..

  • IOS4 and GPS Errors

    I live on the Mississippi and for the last week the GPS function on my iPhone 3G - upgraded to iOS4 - and my new iPhone 4 puts my location in Fort Walton Beach, FL instead of Diamondhead, MS. The same error occurs when I'm at work at Stennis Space Center.
    Interestingly, my bosses iPhone 3GS that hasn't been upgraded to iOS4, and my iPad, both properly indicate my location. Friends and colleagues with phones upgraded to iOS4 are all in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
    What gives? I know the GPS is assisted in determining location by local cell towers, but it seems that iOS4 is not verifying the location using the GPS chip.
    This really ***, as all location-aware applications are now hosed.
    Mike

    Quick update for everyone. I got fed up with the no gps issue and ended up going to the apple store. The genius gave me a replacement phone and gps seemed to work fine on the replacement, but the touchscreen had issues. I then returned that replacement and got a second replacement which is having the same GPS inaccuracy as my original phone. This is obviously a software bug with ios4 that apple has yet to address. Frankly I am tired of apples lack of quality control in their recent products and will be looking for an alternative as soon as my contract with AT&T expires. What a shame.

  • Time and GPS data windows

    Hello all
    I was presented this sample 1080 frame and was asked if I can do this if time and GPS metadata were part of the video recording. In other words, how do you burn in this data in the video itself. I have P Pro CS 6 @ home and am a complete novice to video editing. Final product may or may not need this, more curious as to how its done - special camera system or in post processing?
    Thanks!

    If whoever shot the video recorded time of day timecode synced from a GPS receiver that was close to the camera (in your case that looks like it would mean mounted in the helicopter), you can use the time code data to match your GPS metadata to the video. I use an automated process to incorporate the the metadata into the video, but the process is all done with custom software that the CEO of our company wrote. The other people I've seen incorporating GPS metadata into video are also using customized, proprietary processes. If you're adding the data in post, you will have to translate the data into Premiere titles or After Effects text keyframes or something else that you can overlay on the video.
    You can also use hardware during your shoot to overlay the GPS data onto the video. I don't use any products that do this, and I don't know how easy they are to find for purchase, but there definitely are people in the geospatial sector who feed video through a GPS-aware piece of video processing hardware that overlays time and position data in real time. In this case you would feed video (most likely through HD-SDI) from your camera to the GPS overlay hardware and then to a recorder.
    There certainly aren't any GPS features built into Premiere Pro. If you want to add titles manually, you'll have to match the time code with your GPS data and make a new title each time the GPS info is supposed to update. GPS data is usually some form of table or spreadsheet with time, coordinates, and other positional data, so you can find the correct time in the video and make a title that includes the corresponding coordinates for that time. If you're doing this for more than a few seconds of video, it will be an unreasonably long and tedious process, but it is possible.

  • Video and GPS data from iPhone movie?

    Hi, I have following problem/ idea for a solution: I lost the canopy of by model airplane during a flight in a wheat field. Now I am looking for a solution to find it: what about a video camera and a GPS device, flying over the field, recording video and GPS data, play back video and (hopefully) find the canopy at frame xyz. Then read out the GPS position at this frame and go back in the field to the GPS coordinates and find what I lost.
    So the questions are:
    1. are the Video recordings stamped (?) with a continuous GPS position
    2. can this data be read out
    3. is there an app that can do this
    4. is this the correct forum for this question?
    Thanks for any ideas
    BTW: I already tried to order a new canopy, no luck...

    Let me get this straight... You lost the canopy for your model airplane... Now you want to strap your iPhone to another model airplane and fly it all over in the area where you lost the canopy.
    Piece of advice: Make sure you set up find my iPhone on it before you send it out on its mission. you may need it, in combination with its ability to emit an alarm when triggered remotely, to find the iPhone after it falls off the search plane.
    With luck, the fallen iPhone will land near the canopy you seek.
    To try and answer the questions:
    1. I believe the entire recording gets 1 location coded in the metadata. It is not a continuous stream of location data.
    2. Not relevant based on the answer to 1.
    3. I seriously doubt it, but I won't be shocked if someone has come up with something among the half million or so apps out there.
    4. I don't think there is a correct forum for this, but this works as well as any.

  • No or bad Bluetooth and GPS with my iPhone 3GS.

    Hi all,
    I have serious Problems using either GPS and Bluetooth with my iPhone 3GS. First I recognized that my Bluetooth headset was not working as before. For example the connection is dropped quite often and The quality is really bad.
    Second I found that the GPS signal is such Bad that no APP like runkeeper or Nike+ can work with it.
    Strange is that everything is working well after a reset to factory defaults using iTunes. But both BT and GPS are only working As designed for about 12 to 18 houers. After that timeframe The Device has to Be reseted with iTunes again :-(
    Snce everything was working fine a few weeks ago, I guess it has to do somezhing with the latest firmeware.
    BTW: The headset IS working fine with other devices and the googlemaps app, included in the iOS is showing a GPS signal (20 to 50 m radius)
    Any help is welcome. Please respond to [email protected], thanks!

  • Sony A6000 and GPS

    Will Sony release a new model from A6000 with GPS !?  I really would like to have this feature in the camera directly instead of using the mobile phones to sync the  GPS coordinations.  Zein

    I would agree David.  While I am sure that the GPS function is a "must have" feature for some, it is not of importance for others.  Sony likely had to make a decision on which feature they felt would be more important to the greater number of buyers.  In todays cell phone era of photography, with instant sharing to social media being all the rage, I am sure Sony felt that WiFi and NFC would be a hotter feature than GPS. I have an older Sony Cybershot model with GPS, and frankly never used it.  It is a drain on the cameras battery. I found that there are better alternative for tagging photos in Lightroom. Some smart phone based such as GeoTag Photos and gps4cam, others hardware based. Lightroom has the ability to read .gpx tracks from handheld GPS units and gps loggers.  These will last all day without draining the cameras battery. I am sure the lack of GPS is a deal breaker for some, others will appreciate the WiFi and NFC and work around the GPS. It is all in what compromises you can best live with.

  • Nokia 5800 and older Symbian applications

    I've recently bought a 5800, and installed some freeware applications on it, allegedly compatible for this phone. After loading them, a "Soft-keypad" appears, which emulates the joystick + 2 main buttons of the older. There are other 4 buttons on the bottom, "A", "B", "C" and "D", which I've found emulating the "7", "9", "*" and "#". 
    Do you know of any other ways to emulate the remaining 8 digits "1", "2", etc.?
    I believe that the aim of this soft-keypad was to ensure compatibility with the older non-touchpad softwares, but at the least possible cost, and so its development has not been actually completed... :-(
    Thanks in advance for your replies...

  • BB Bold9700 on OS6 and GPS

    Hello all,
    So I updated my BB9700 to OS6 and noticed that GPS will not work on any apps.  So I investigated and GPS is turned ON, but the info hasn't been updated since 3/7/2011.  I turned the server back off and on and still nothing on the screen changes and GPS still doesn't seem to be working.
    Any ideas?

  • Nokia 5800 and Ovi Suite Contacts Sync Changes Pic...

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia 5800 and just installed the latest Nokia Ovi Suite (2.0).
    It is a good tool, but I have a problem with the synching my contacts.
    Befor Ovi sync, I use to associate pictures from my gallery with contacts. When I dial the contacts the picture of the contact took up most of the screen (until the contact answers the call - then it makes the picture small and puts it in the speech bubble)
    After I sync'ed with Ovi Suite, the contact picture now shows up as a small - very small - thumbnail image during the call on the phone.
    Is there something that can be done to protect this from happening, or a setting that can be changed in Ovi to use a large picture instead of a thumbnail?
    My 5800 has the latest firmware installed (available to me in my country) - which is 31.0.101.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

      one more bump and then I give up on Ovi suite. Once again
