C7 Assisted GPS issue.

Hi all
I have a nokia C7 which is giving me problems in the positioning department. I only want to use intergrated GPS so have set the phone accordingly by unchecking everyting but intergrated in the positioning methods window. Simple!!
The problem is Assitsted GPS seems to turn itself on again and again. This is most annoying. Its already caused some very huge date use biils.
Is this normal for Assisted GPS to turn itself on once set to off? How can I stop it turning on by itself and why does it do this. ???
I know getting a data plan would solve this issue, however I'm not in a possition to get one,
and i believe I shouldnt be foreced to do so .
Can anyone help ?
much appreciated.

@jaycc
This behaviour is certainly not normal!
Try going to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning server > supl.nokia.com > longpress > Disable or Delete - see what happens now.

Does the iphone 4s have voice assisted gps navigation system when ion is downloaded to the phone?

does the iphone 4s have a voice assisted gps system when io6 is downloaded onto the phone?

The iPhone has NEVER had an International Warranty. The warranty terms state, quite clearly, that Apple "may" restrict warranty & support to the country of original purchase. The only exception, are iPhones purchased in the EU, where the iPhone warranty is EU wide.
You purchase an iPhone in Singapore, & you will have to return it to Singapore for all warranty & support issues.
For iPhones out of warranty, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program.

GPS issues on CDMA iPhone?

i'm getting pretty frustrated with the GPS issues with the CDMA iPhone.
i cannot maintain a consistent lock with GPS for more than a few minutes.
on Navigon: GPS looses every 4 minutes or so, and the speed indicator never shows a consistent speed, it'll show 60, 60, 0, 58, 58, 0, etc... then it will loose lock and take quite some time to get it back.
on GPS Drive (motion GPS): it will drive for a few more minutes, but then loose lock for minutes at a time.
on the GSM iPhone, i never had these problems.
anyone have any suggestions or fixes for the problem?

I feel your pain. I have the same issue with my CDMA iPhone and there have been numerous threads in regards to it and there has never been any acknowledgement from Apple that an issue even exists. Some people have noted that doing a hard reset of the phone, or restoring your phone from a backup have lessened the issue, but to my knowledge nobody has posted a guaranteed cure. One thing that I have noticed that if you're using bluetooth in your car, turn it completely off (under settings/general/bluetooth) as a test and then try your GPS apps again. The problem seemed to occur significantly less. Another noteworthy point is that the Maps app that comes with the phone doesn't seem to have this problem. Please comment back in regards to bluetooth and Maps with your results. Also for all it's worth, you can send feedback to Apple in regards to this. I did so, but never heard a response, but none the less that's the place to also post issues such as this. Here's the link...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
One think of interest is that it is an assisted GPS. It uses WIFI, cell towers, GPS and who knows what else to pinpoint your position. And there has been some privacy concerns (a little overblown if you ask me though) over the data collected by Apple to pinpoint your position. Apple has admitted to discovering bugs in iOS 4 in regards to this and has indicated that an update is forthcoming to address this. So maybe our problems are related. Keep your fingers crossed!

I need some help with my GPS issue

I'm writing to ask you if You could somehow help me solve my GPS issue. I own Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. I've recently updated it's software and installed the new OVI Maps. I know that there is an option to use it offline which means without an Internet connection. When I start the Maps application and choose the offline mode, the only thing that appears at the top of the screen is "Searching position". The map is available but my position can't be specified without Internet on. When I turn my wireless router on, even though my maps are set in offline mode, it automatically connects to the Internet and spends something like 5KB download. If I keep navigating it spends even more. I've left my mobile phone offline to search for my position for an about half an hour but nothing happened. So, my question is, could you tell me what to do and how to use OVI Maps offline?

Assuming you are useing Maps 3.06 from beta labs and the map data is the latest compatible maps installed through ovi suite, then all should work well provided you followed the installation instructions correctly. If you don't use assisted gps or any other method of positioning except integrated Gps then you need to be in an open space with clear view of the sky to allow the GPS antenna to get a lock, this can take 10 to 30 minutes (the first time you try for a lock, shouldn't take that long again) and once you have a lock the location should work fine. The reason the other methods are available is thet they speed up the whole process and also work when in built up areas where buildings can block thre satelite view from the gps antenna. The amount of data used to lock your position is minimal and unless you have zero data allowance I suggest using all the positioning methods. If using the navigation abroad, you can disable evrything and simply use integrated GPS as long as you've loaded the local map data to your phone previously.
Good Luck

GPS Issues - Accuracy/Inaccuracy

I've been using my S3 for about a month now and I'm experiencing issues with the GPS' accuracy when using Google Maps/Navigation - it says I'm anywhere from 50-500ft+ away from where I'm actually located. This has become a big issue when trying to use my phone for navigation.
Anyone else having this same issue? If so, is there a fix for this?

Not an expert here, but generally, your accuracy is going to be a function of how many satellites your phone sees.
My phone reports an accuracy of about 12ft or so. Even in doors it will see 8 or more sats.
First thing you probably want to check is if your phone's time is close to network time, because I think the data pulled from the network (this is Assisted GPS, or AGPS) is accurate. Make sure your phone is set to the proper time zone.
Next, download a program like GPS Status and Toolbox, and GPS Test (I recommend the one by Mike Lockwood). Use the second program to Inject the Time and the Xtra Data used for establishing the first fix. In the former program, its the first number that indicates the sats it sees. In the latter program, I believe it is the lines with "U" on the status line for "used".
When I use Maps or GNav, or GPS Test, and I'm lookng at a map, I'm merely a few feet typically from where the cursor is located, and you should really expect the same.
Although it might result in some configuration loss, it really might be worth your while backing up your important information, writing down your email server settings, etc, and doing a Factory Data Reset (FDR). 50ft error is I think unacceptable because in CONUS you should be within 10s of feet of your actual location, 500feet means there are other issues.

GPS issue please help me please

Hi guys,
Well i know there are several forms for GPS issue but i cant find the right one for me...Please guys help me if u can.
I have N95 8 GB with GPS activated for Middle East Dubai....
Now the issue is this that before i was used to connect very quickly say about 10 minutes but right now i mean as of last couple of weeks its taking hell of time indeed not connecting at all...I place my mobile and my frnds mobile at same place but mine is not connecting at all...his mobile connects like in minute or so....please can u guys help me...my mobile is rarely used for 3 months...
Do i need to change some settings....If satellite is not available it sudnt connect to my frnds same mobile v20....but it connects to him not to mine....

First thing you do is to run GPS Data in connectivity and see if the phone achieves GPS lock any faster than now.
Secondly, run Nokia Maps, Goto Options>About and tell us the version you have. It should be accross the top of the screen.

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

I purchased the iPad mini Wi-Fi & Cell because it has GPS. OK, it is assisted GPS but the GPS works very well as stand alone. I got the iPad mini for use in flight, so I dont even have a sim card in it. The GPS works perfectly in flight under all conditions. I have cross checked it against typical approved aircraft installations and it is very accurate at all times. I use it in Wi-Fi mode on the ground when updating my aviation database, when planning a flight, or similar circumstances. The primary advantage of A-GPS is quick location reading when first turned on, when on the ground where the GPS satellites signal may be of reduced quality. At 10,000 feet plus, it is a stand alone GPS. I have frequently turned the iPad off in flight for periods of time and when powering up, it gave me accurate positioning in a few seconds, never exceeded 10 seconds. I have also tested my iPad on the ground, using the aviation maps, and the GPS works perfectly also.
It remains possible that there is some feature that enhances the GPS when on the ground, even if there is no sim card in the iPad. But I doubt that any of these would work in an aircraft at high altutide. Nonetheless, I would appreciate knowing more about this.

Using iPhone's assisted GPS equals high data roaming fees?

Consider the following setup:
I buy an simlock-free iPhone 3G S in Brussels, Belgium for €512. I purchase the TomTom navigational iPhone application on the App Store so that I don't have to rely on an expensive Belgian mobile provider to get continuous access to Google Maps. I use this iPhone with a standard voice+data plan.
Suppose I drive a 300 km south to Paris, France. I use my iPhone with the TomTom app to negotiate the Parisian roads.
Question: will the GPS unit of my (future) iPhone 3G S be able to find its position on its own without relying on a paid data connection? (even if it takes a while)

To answer your question, yes it will work. (Just may take more time to acquire sats, like a normal GPS.) Also, I just tried it by removing my SIM and turning off Wifi.
What Ian said is not quite correct. Assisted GPS does use the network connection and uses either the cell towers or wifi access points (Skyhook.com has more info) to locate you. It uses the SSID of these wifi networks whether or not they are password protected, but needs to exchange this data with Apple/skyhook to figure out where you are, and it does this over a network connection (or wifi, I believe.)

Can anyone explain Assisted GPS vs Network based f...

I just got a new E5 and was playing with some settings as well as Ovi maps. On ovi maps, I can see two figures on the bottom right corner, one is a counter for data usage and one looks like a phone signal with green and red bars. Now, I have it in offline mode so the data usage is at 0.0kb.
I wanted to know what the difference between the Assisted GPS and Network based positioning methods are. If I turn on Assisted GPS, the data counter still stays at 0.0kb, so I'm not sure if A-GPS uses data or not. Is there a way to know if A-GPS is working like the network based data counter?

N86 GPS issues

Hi,
Posted this seperately from the N97 GPS issues but I'm having similar issues with my N86, namely speed regularly drops to 0, the route is repeatedly recalculated for no obvious reason, the map constantly rotates its orientation (just like being on a waltzer) and my location shifts off road by "some considerable margin" before settling down.
I've also noticed that I often can't get a GPS lock without switching the phone off and back on again after a few seconds. I always gets a fix within 5-10 seconds after a reboot.
I always have the e-mail client in the background but no other apps running.
Has anyone else, apart from the N97 owners (you know who you are) experienced these issues.
I'm running N86-1 on Orange with 10.086 with Maps v3.0.09wk18b01 and map version 0.1.22.103
Alun.
N8-00 (Product Code: 059C5Q8 (UK Generic)) FW Belle (111.030.0609.377.01)
Orange 5.1, NK702, 7110, 8310, 7250, 6230, N70, N95-1, N86 8MP, N8-00

I have the same problem, the phone is now on it's second trip for repair. I "upgraded" from a N82, with a working GPS.
When I compare my old N82 with the N86, I can se that the N86 drops all connection to the GPS satellites every second minute. (I use the built in program GPS data, looking at satellite data on both devices at the same time, my old N82 stays connected, but the N86 has to recalculate after it has lost the connection every second minute)
This is a real problem for me, I use Nokia Sportstracker to record all my training, and with the N86 I get some rather odd recordings, due to this constant recalculating of the current position. A training (verified) trip for 5 kilometers on N82 can be more than 6 km on N86. This of course gives me a good average speed, but I prefer to record the correct one...
I am now waiting for the return after the second repair period of 4 weeks, maybe they can fix it, otherwise I'll have to buy something that works.

HT4972 what does assisted gps mean?

Hi
I have an ipad and am now thinking of purchasing an iphone 3GS.
Looking at the specification it says "assisted GPS". Does anyone know what this means and how, say, it differs from my normal Garmin GPS device?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
From reading a related topic I think if you are used to a normal hiking GPS you will find the iPhone doesn't perform in the same fashion unless you can run an app that uses the GPS facility in this manner. For example, you have to constantly press a button to update your location, so if you're used to using a GPS like that you may have to make sure there's software that does that for you.

What exactly is assisted GPS?

I can find out all the devices that have 'Assisted GPS', but what I can't find is an explanation of 'Assisted GPS' and how does it compare to GPS with no help.

Thanks Meg St._Clair , anyway i've read some articles says, the only A-GPS device is using either mobile network or Wi-Fi for location service, so i believe if using it while flying, it couldn't detect the location, but with GLONASS, it will, because it is an alternative GPS System. I dont know, maybe im wrong.
A-GPS is real GPS. It stands for Assiseted GPS. The iPads with cellular have a GPS. They use WiFi and cellular to assist the GPS in locking on more quickly. The GPS is assisted by the WiFi and cellular. It will work just fine while flying.
WiFi ony iPads rely on WiFi for location services. They will not work while flying.

GPS Issues with Ellipsis 7

I am getting inaccurate and sometimes slow to respond GPS issues with my Ellipsis 7. it seems that the refresh rate for the GPS is extremely slow so when i'm looking at the maps while driving the dot moves every 1-2 seconds as opposed to moving with me. even after doing several factory resets the issue still doesn't go away. It makes Ingress very frustrating when you keep jumping around unable to get a fix on a portal.
is anyone else having this or similar issues?
Also my tablet suffers from the 1GB App Space issue.
any resolutions on the above issue too?

clearly you are misinformed SarahO_VZW. according to the Important Note: Memory Management i dont have the latest software. Plus I already called into support and they sent me a box. I am really getting sick and tired of the lack of consistent knowledge btwn Support Reps. and this extends beyond just this Ellipsis 7 Device it also includes the Lumia Cyan Update that was supposed to be pushed to all Windows 8 Phones this year but hasn't. I get one answer from one technician and a completely contradictory answer from another agent.
I used to work for Verizon in TechSupport for Verizon FiOS. and we all had our facts straight as to what was what. but the Wireless Division is all screwed up.
My advise to you Sarah from one Tech Support Rep to another. Please read all responses in the forum and do more research before you answer a question and don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions of your superiors before answering.

Droid 3 GPS issues

Over the past month or so, the GPS on my Droid 3 has been acting funny. Examples: using Google Maps, it will sometimes not find the GPS signal (yes, I'm outside). In other times, like yesterday, it worked fine but about 35 minutes into the drive, the GPS signal was lost. I tried turnign the GPS on and off but I eventually had to re-start the phone. It happened again on the drive home. Using Foursquare, sometimes the GPs will not respond when I hit the "check-in" button. Yes the GPS is on.
Because the GPS works some of the time and after re-starting the phone, that it is likely a software issue. It seems othere have had this issue. Is there a solution?
Thanks

Hi FBrown,
I see how a failing GPS feature can be frustrating when relying on it to get to a specific place. By reading your post I see that this GPS failure can be attributed to a loss of data signal somewhere along your trip. Additionally, when checking in with the FourSquare application (or any similar application) GPS may fail particularly indoors as some structural properties may greatly impact wireless signal. The GPS behavior described in your post may be normal depending on location and wireless signal strength.
I checked my resources and I was not able to locate any similar issues reported. However, I would recommend running your Droid 3 in Safe Mode next time you use your Google Maps navigation application and/or your FourSquare application. Running your phone in Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is causing the GPS feature to fail.
If the GPS issue is resolved while in Safe Mode, you must identify the conflicting 3rd application and remove it. You may need to remove all 3rd applications and re-install one by one in order to identify the application causing the issue.
