E52 internal GPS fix problem only with OVI Maps

Hi all,
I read many many E52 phones suffer Internal GPS fix problems.
I don't beleve this is an hardware problem, but only a software bug.
My experiments say this:
1) Start phone, start Ovi Maps -> No lock at all. (only 1 blinking line in bottom left corner)
2) Start phone, start McGuider (Sygic) navigator -> E52 locks quite immedeately. (in the same place!!)
3) After GPS is locked, start Ovi Maps again. Now also Maps works great!
4) Also the gps built-in application under Menu->Applications->GPS->GPS Data has the same behaviour as Ovi Maps.
Anyone can try and report this or similar experience?
Thank you!

Thank you for the response.
I'm sure the fix is faster if i use A-GPS, but i i have to pay for data connection.
And, above all, Sygic works perfectly WITHOUT A-GPS, so why Ovi Maps does not?
Yes, you have to pay, but the connection takes about 20sec. About Sygic you're right I noticed that too. It locks pretty fast.

N86 GPS won;t turn off with Ovi Maps 3.04

Ovi Maps 3.04 seems to have introduced a serious bug on the N86, in that after Maps has been run twice, the only way to turn off the GPS receiver and get rid of the GP icon is to switch off the phone.
Plenty of reports of same on the Nokia Ovi Maps Beta forums, see
https://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-beta-for-mobile/bugreport/gps-receiver-not-turning-off-on-e...
Please can we have a fix for this urgently as it kills the phone's battery life - which is bad enough as it is.

I am experiencing this same problem with the GPS icon showing after exiting Ovi Maps 3.04 on my Nokia N86 8MP NAM version running the latest firmware 30.009. .
This problem doesn't happen on my daughter's 5230. So I know it is certainly a problem localized to the N86 8MP.

Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

Problem Installing/Running Ovi Maps Plugin

Hi everyone,
I seem to be having a small problem with Ovi Maps 3.0 which I'm hoping somoene can help with. Probably an obvious solution to my problem but I can't seem to get the Ovi Maps plugin to install/run.
When I try to install nothing happens. I make sure to select accept the terms of reference but when I click the (green) Install the Free Plugin nothing happens.
Would anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You are using IE 8 ?
Same here... and there are messages about that somewhere in an OVI-forum....Plugin can not install on IE8.
There are workarrounds described.. one is to deinstall IE8 (so you will fall back to IE7), then install with IE7 and then reinstall IE8 again..... the other workarround is to modify registry and implement plugin manually.
I decided to wait until there is a fix..... i'm not sure what the plugin will give to me..... i am a little bit disappointed about how OVI maps work on PC compared with other products......

Mistakes with Ovi Maps - how often are they update...

I've noticed a few subtle mistakes with Ovi Maps driving around - for instance a street near me is actually blocked off at one end but the navigator tries to get you to turn into it, and another where it directs you to turn right but no right turn is allowed at that intersection.
Anyone know if these kind of things are corrected?

They are updated about 3 times a year if memory serves me right. Anyway, you can report errors like these to Nokia so they can fix it.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

C5: How to enable loudspeaker with ovi maps?

C5:
Loudspeaker is en/disabled with the #-button. With ovi-maps I see, e.g. when driving home, in the upper right corner, that the loudspeaker is disabled. # changes the size of the map, so how do I enable the loudspeaker?

yes you have to download walk guidance
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Getting a Spanish survey from an English website is of course silly and I'm sure the Ovi Support team will look into that.

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...

"@font-face" problem only with firefox. I have attached a style sheet while i was embedding my personal fonts into a website, but Firefox won't load them. Why?

I was hand coding my new website. This time i was trying to embed some personal fonts into my website, so i used a style sheet to embed which is coded like
"@font-face {
font-family:Sofia;
src:url(../fonts/Sofia-Regular.otf);
All the font work fine in the root folder of my site. But whenever i am creating dreamweaver templates and using them on pages which are in different folders but in the same root directory, the fonts are set back to default font. This problem is only with Firefox. Chrome, IE, Opera etc. works fine. Please Help!

i run into the same problem the last days.
using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
[14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
first load after login is => everything ok!
after following an internal link => no webfonts!
after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
but that can only be a workaround!
why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

Install failure due to "faulty DVD" problem: only with Family Pack?

After going through a few threads on the subject of installation failure due to tbe pseudo-faulty DVD, I have the impression that many users mention that they were using a Family Pack install DVD or in one case a "drop in". The former is my case. Please post if you have had this problem with Leopard install, and whether you were using a single licence, family pack or drop in. It's just a hunch, but perhaps this problem only affects a specific set of disks.

I believe that they are holding back on sending a new DVD until they know why there were defective ones. I read somewhere that they require a new SKU so that they will actually be a separate batch.
Can you borrow a DVD from anyone to install Leopard? You certainly would be allowed to legally do that. I am surmising that Apple is overloaded with requests for a replacement DVD and really want to make sure it works. You know that old thing about "fool me once..."
Stuff happens - but with Leopard, a lot of stuff sure happened at once. They sold 2 million DVDs. If only 5% have problems, that's a lot of problems to deal with, one at a time.
In time it will sort itself out, but in the meantime the rooms are full of smoke

Problems with OVI Maps 3.4 for 5800 XpressMusic

I downloaded Ovi Maps 3.4 on my 5800 and now every time I try to start using maps, the screen goes dim and the phone restarts itself. What I have to do to solve this problem?
I was using the version 3.3 and the navigation was working perfect.

Hi c_dzeprailidis
When you upgrade to OVI Maps v3.04 it adds an additional positioning method "Wi-Fi/Network which can cause issues for some users, so try disabling it. Go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Problems only with Adobe ImageReady Animated GIF

Anyone encounter a problem and solution for getting ImageReady animated GIF working properly in a java app? Developer placed 2 animated gifs in the app which caused the CPU system resources to spike to 100%.
We then tested animated GIFs made from Macromedia Flash and also a freeware animated GIF editor, and both work out fine in the same java app.
It's odd, but we think there's a problem specifically with animated GIFs produced by Adobe's Image Ready in the Creative Suite 1 package.
Anyone have more insight?

Its been a long time since I have used ImageReady, and then it was for about year when CS3 came out. So my memory if very rusty with that program. (In other words I am hoping that I am not too far off base, lol.)
Check and make sure there are the same number of layers as there are frames. I believe there is an option in the animation palette for sending the frames to layers. Once you know that the frames and layers match (plus any additional layers you create), you can clear out the animation and reapply the layers to frames.
You should find a small icon in the upper right hand corner of the animation palette and the layers palette. Clicking them will bring up a menu that will do what you need.

Premiere Pro CC import problem only with last .VOB file

When I import .VOB files from any DVD into Premiere Pro CC, the last .VOB always cut picture from both sides. When I click to see properties of the file (in Bin panel) it shows me that image size is 540 x 576 instead of 720 x 576. The video isn't shrunken but cut off. I got two black bars on both sides of the screen (in Premiere Pro CC). That wasn't happened with CS6 and now it happens always and only with last .VOB file. All other files from same VIDEO_TS folder are imported correctly. When I convert that last .VOB to .avi or any other format everything is OK. Any suggestions?

Yes it works, but I have no time to convert file every time I need something archived that way. I used that method years ago, and if I'm not wrong we are progressing a little Most of today options you have in Premiere 5 (maybe even in earlier versions; I'm using it from version 5.1) and it worked. So if you think like that, why we need version 7.2.1 ? Actually this is 14.2.1 version if you count from version 1 back in 1991.
It's not about to manage, it's about to have what you pay for, it's about to speed up the process.
Thank you anyway for your comment

Airplay iphone problem only with music player

I have seen many discussions relaiting to airplay problems and now that I own both an iPhone 5s and a Bose Soundlink Air. I have discoverd there is possible a problem with Apples' software with the music player.
I have sucsessfully played music from itunes from three Macs in my house to the Bose SoundLink Air via wi-fi. All worked perfectly. I also used Remote from three iPhones, 3G, 3GS and 5S and again all worked fine. I have also used a radio app on each of the three phones and airplayed the radio direct to the Bose Soundlink Air and it all works perfectly.
However, when ever I play music (on the phone) direct to the Bose Soundlink Air, I get the usual complaining from other users of the sound plays for 20 seconds or so then cuts out etc. etc.
As mentioned above, if I play radio direct it works so why can't music (as its now called) on the iPhone. Seams to me the bug is in the music player that Apple has on the iPhone.
I might try another player (like VLC) and let you know if that works then we will know for sure the bug is with Apple.

Okay, Spoke to Bose and explained the problem. He said that because the air play was dropping out with multiple iPhones then the problem was with the unit. He told me to return the speaker system, which I did.
So here's the interesting part...
I then purchased a set of Bose Computer speakers (cheap one's) and a new AirPort Express and found the same thing was happening, 'Airport drop outs'. So I swopped over the new AirPort for my old Airport Express and that has worked perfectly for the past half week.
So my conclusion which I have yet to discuss with my local Apple Store is the new AirPort products are not totally compatible with the old Airport products.
BTW I am using a 2nd gen Time Capsule to send out my wi-fi signal (may be time for an upgrade) but it works perfectly with all the rest of my old Apple stuff (and so far our new iPhone 5s's).
