E71 - No GPS Signal / Re-installing Software

Hi,
I recently changed provider from Orange to Three. I had to get the E71 'unlocked'. For a couple of weeks after getting it unlocked my GPS / Nokia Maps (I paid a subscription) worked fine. However, now I no longer can receive a GPS signal... The position on the GPS is stuck at the town where I last used Nokia Maps, and does not update...
Also, the phone still has Orange software in it.
How do I install a new operating system? can I download it somewhere? I have the CD which came with the phone, but this CD is at least 2 years old, and I'd prefer a newer OS if possible.
The lack of Maps / GPS is very frustrating as I got rid of my Iphone because the GPS was bad, and went back to the E71 because it's always been good!
Thanks in advance.

Hi jdg1000
Unfortunately as your E71 has Orange branded firmware despite now being unlocked, the latest OVI Maps with free navigation is probably not an available option for you; you can check using OVI Suite or Nokia Software Updater on your PC whether any later firmware has been released.
As GPS signal relying on Integrated GPS of E71 is quite poor you might want to check whether the Assisted GPS feature has a correctly defined Network access point in Positioning > Positioning server.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

I have bought an iPod touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe app. How do I get a decent GPS signal, since the TomTom carkit doesn't do the job?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
Also see:
Recover Older Versions of iPhone Apps After Updating — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
The bakup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
If you still have the one 2G with the Netflix app, delete the new NetFlix app from her computer anf then transfer iTunes purchased to the iTunes library by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Then sync to her iPod. You may have to sign the iPod into the account that purchased it to sync it.

Can a stolen French release iPhone be tracked by its GPS signal? Even if the thief unlocks it?

Can a stolen French release iPhone be tracked by its GPS signal? Even if the thief unlocks it?

Of course, if the theif has the passcode to unlock it, he/she can simply disable mobile me or any other tracking app installed.
Bottom line is, that unless you:
a) had mobileme's find-my-iPhone (or other tracking software) installed and activated before the theft,
b) had a passcodee on the phone so the theif cannot simple go in and change anything they want
c) the theif keeps the phone turned on and is somewhere with a data connection active
there is no way to track it.

My iPhone 5 does not get GPS signal

Good day,
I noticed with my iPhone 5 that the map directions never seem to work. Then I noticed my Nike+ app GPS signal always shows as weak and it doesn't work. I never had the problem with my iPhone 4S so I thought maybe the new iOS. I took my old 4S in it's case (now my wifes phone) and started the Nike+ on it and on my iPhone 5 (no case) sitting next to each other. The 4S got a strong GPS signal. The 5 got nothing...
Has anyone out there experienced the same thing? I'm trying to determine if this a global 5 thing or just my phone.
Thanks all for your replies.

For the record - After calling support and running some diags I took the iPhone 5 into an Apple store. The phone was replaced and all is good. So this turns out to be a hardware issue, not an app or software issue.
Thank you,
Bud

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.

N85 GPS Signal

Good day,
I have installed Garmin Mobile Xt 5.00.10.
Now both Nokia Maps and Garmin Mobile don't receive GPS Signal.
How can I do?
thank you

I sent it to the repair facility since it was past 30 days (bought near end of june). Replacement phone gets some reception where I didn't get any before but reception is still worse than the 2610. Either Nokia's build quality is worse for smartphones or the N85 has a design flaw (or Palco/Nokia Repair Center didn't send me a "replacement" and this phone is my original with a new IMEI)
People having reception problems with the N97 worry me. It looks like the N-series is getting weaker reception: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=155723&query.id=458011#M155723
One thing is it might be because my SIM card isn't seated correctly. I looked up "gophone weak signal" and saw stuff about the iPhone getting weak signal because the SIM card wasn't seated correctly. This makes sense since the 2610 uses a sort of latch to hold the SIM down while the N85 only slides in. Some iPhone users report better signal by attaching some tape to the top of the SIM card to hold it tighter in the slot. I'm thinking about trying something similar to see if it will help any, but that could void my warranty
I tried sliding out my SIM card a little until it was up against the battery to see if that would seat it better. I tested internet on EDGE and seemed to work faster/better but not sure. Is there a "field test mode" that I can go into with the N85 to see if anything I try is helping?

Navigation that works for a8-5500 and how to fix GPS signal

Found out that these navigation systems works fine with at 5500-f tablet:
Navigon.
Route 66.
Sygic.
iGO Primo.
If you now of others that works (TomTom, Navfree etc), please let us know
However, the A8 5500f and other tablets from lenovo seems to have a problem with the GPS fix. It takes forever to acuire a decent signal. There is a soloution to this problem:
A) Have WI-FI ON, if possible.
B) Launch the navigation, eg Route 66.
C) After some seconds, turn off WI-FI.
D): Ready!
This procedure will allow the navigation to download the assisted GFS. But it seems like the WI-FI, when ON, is making it difficult to reciewe a clear gps signal. If no WI-FI, it will take a minute or so to reciewe a clear GPS signal without A-GPS.
There is also a third solution. Download a app that is keeping GPS alive all the time. Like ActiveGPS - GPS booster or so. This will allow you to keep WI-FI ON all the time. How much batteri that will eat up, i dont know.

Hi,
When you stram from a bin file repeatedly, it will run first time but will lose lock because when it comes tothe beginning of the file, its time suddenly jumps and the receiver does not accept this. For example, lets say your bin file is from GPS time t1=0 to GPS time t2=30000s. When you loop back around the file, the time increases from 0 to 30000 and then jumps back to 0 and that is not acceptable by receiver. You will need a direct streaming from 5671.
I can put that up for you soon if you want.

How to generate GPS signal continuous

Hi,
I encountered a problem recently and I need your help. A customer used a PXI-5671 to generate GPS signals to test a receiver. The problem was like this:
1) When we used actual GPS signals instead of simulated signals generated from the PXI-5671, the receiver functioned normally.
2) When we streamed bin file to generate signals repeatedly using the PXI-5671, the receiver could receive correctly for the first time, while at the rest of it the receiver couldn't receive the signals nor display how many satellites there were and what the signal strengths were.
I supposed, that this was due to the reason that the timestamp for the second time was earlier than that at previous time. How do we generate GPS signals continuously with the timestamps updated?

Using copilot uk, no GPS signal if active on screen!

Hi,
Had a Ipod touch with copilot on it for last severl months been great with no problems.
However recently been having problems where, start up fine put in a destination start to drive then comes up with no GPS signal, and gives me no directions!
Go back to main screen go back into copilot and it works for a few secounds before going back to No GPS Signal.
However if I just go back to the main screen and leave it there, I get voice instructions even when the touch has gone in to sleep mode!
Really confused, not sure if this is a hardware error or a software prob!
Any ideas?
thanks
Mark

My screen was professionally replaced due to a crack; am wondering if this is it?
Could be, or whatever accidental damage caused your screen to break and be replaced may have caused additional hardware damage.
If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

I've had a network extender for 2 years and since August I can't get a GPS signal

I have had a network extender for over 2 years and have had no problems with it. Since August, I have had nothing but trouble. The GPS signal went out and I went through all of the Verizon troubleshooting tips and nothing worked. They sent me a new one and it has worked for about 2 weeks however now I have the same exact problem, the GPS is red and I haven't had a GPS signal for 2 weeks now. What is going on? How is it possible that after over 2 years of having no issues, we can't get a GPS signal?

I spoke with another Verizon tech rep and he was going to open a network trouble ticket however first he needed to gather some information. He directed me to this site http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx
to get info on the speak of my computer and IP connection however when I began the test, there was an error and it couldn't measure my VOIP connection. The Verizon rep said that there isn't software in the network extender and that it's based off the VOIP. So he suggested I call my internet provider and tell them that I'm trying to use a VOIP and for some reason it's not working. He suggested I tell them I'm trying to use Vonage and not Verizon though. Anyway, I'm going to call Comcast tomorrow and provide them the information that I got off the http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx site. Not sure if that will help you but I will keep you posted as to what Comcast tells me.

Too many cards warnings & weak GPS signal

I keep having problems more & more often with my Pre (I'm on the Sprint network, if it matters). At least once a day, I get the 'too many cards' warning, even if I just have one page open. It's especially frustrating when I'm looking at a website (with nothing else opened/running) & want to click on a link but it can't open up because I supposedly have too many cards! The only thing I can do is restart the phone, which takes forever, & then try to get back to whatever website I was on to start over.
The other problem that keeps happening is that the GPS signal is weak when I'm in Sprint Nav & trying to drive somewhere. Having to restart the phone makes navigating somewhere I don't know next to impossible (not to mention unsafe/illegal to operate while driving). And because of problem #1, I have to restart my phone frequently, so I don't understand what's going on. Before the TMC problem, I would just restart my phone when the GPS signal wasn't working & that would solve it, but since I restart it all the time as it is, this is just crazy.
I know that these issues have been addressed before, but I wanted to add another request for Palm to fix these problems (& while you're at it, please add a way to sync tasks & memos with a computer, & add categories to the calendar like in PalmOS!). Has anyone come up with a realistic solution (one that does not involve having to restart ad nauseum)? The only apps I have on my phone are from the app catalog & I don't even have that many of those so memory should not be the issue. Help!

Please search for "iPhone GPS problem - SOLVED".
It's not solved for everyone; I have a problem on a 2G that never got fixed, but the way I read the posts there and my problem there are a number of different causes for this, some of which are software; mine -might' be hardware.
Look over there and try the various proposed solutions and see if any works for more than a small amount of time.
Since you posted back in June you might have found a solution to this, but you're still "unanswered" as of today Sept 25.
I'm noe on Firmware 3.1. Which firmware were you n when you posted, if you can remember? Some people got problems after a firmware update - mine -could- be due to updating from iPhone 2.2.1 to iPhone 3.0.

I have a Droid Razr that loses it's GPS signal. I am unable to navigate using Google Maps. It is almost like I am missing a file. How can I fix this?

Please tell me how to get my GPS signal back on my phone. Thanks.

And they do offer a compatible version. As I am running running Netflix on my first generation iPad just fine.
You'll need to first "purchase" the non compatible version either on a newer device that can run it or on a computer running iTunes using the Apple ID that is on the first Gen iPad.
After that is done, you should be able to go into the App Store App, and find Netflix under the Purchased Tab. Tap on it to download it and you should be warned its not compatible, but will be offered the compatible version.

Eclipse loses installed software after update. How to manage?

Whenever eclipse gets updated with `pacman -Syu` I lose all my installed software. As you can imagine, this is really annoying because when I start eclipse there are zombie buttons in the UI that no longer do anything because those plugins aren't installed anymore (at least not from eclipse's point of view). I'm assuming those buttons appear in the UI due to some eclipse-auto-generated configs that remain in my workspace. Is there a way to upgrade and *not* lose installed software? (I'm talking about software installed using update sites within eclipse)
EDIT: The only way that I know how to solve the problem is to remove the .metadata folder from my workspace then recreate my perspective layout from scratch, redo all my settings in preferences, and reinstall all the plugins I want. That's obviously not something I want to keep doing every time eclipse gets updated.
EDIT: After reinstalling Spring MVC plugins eclipse crashes after startup. I tried downgrading to the previous version of eclipse from pacman's cache, reinstalled Spring MVC, and now it's still crashing.
