GPS broken - 5800 upgraded to 50.005

Hello. I have just updated my 5800 to 50.005 (from 40.005). All went well, but unfortunately the GPS now barely works. I can see the maps and all that, but getting a GPS signal is impossible to start with, though it will suddenly kick in after about 30 minutes usually. This is in areas where I have always had a signal before (such as cycling around London) so it isn’t that.
I did a hard reset (green+red+camera) and updated Ovi Maps, but still no good. I also tried Trimble Outdoor (or whatever it is called) but that struggles to get a signal in exactly the same way, which makes me think that this is a problem with a setting or the firmware.
Can anybody suggest anything to try, other than going to a Nokia Care centre and trying to get a downgrade to 40.005? GPS is one of the best things about this phone now, so I am gutted to have lost it.
Thank you.

Thank you all. Resolved this one at last. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future:
It was, indeed, to do with the positioning server options. I fiddled with the "positioning server use" option, so that next time I started Maps it asked which server to use. From then on, it has worked perfectly. Must have been set to automatically use the wrong thing, somehow.
I can tell you that sitting in my house, it finds my position in a few seconds provided that I have "network" enabled. A-GPS can be disabled and it still works. No little green bars though, just a picture of a pylon (?). Not sure what that means, and indeed I am not sure what will happen when I am outside (will check tomorow), when unassisted GPS has a fighting chance of working.
Thanks again for the help. Very glad to have my GPS back!

  • E72 upgrade to 054.005 Error message 12014

    Hi Folks
    I am trying to upgrade from 052.005 to 054.005.
    There is a problem with installing the software to your device .... Error 12014.
    Nokias online support only seems to tell me what I already did...
    I note that some people say you shouldn't use Ovi Suite to upgrade.
    The upgrade IS available for my region and Ovi Suite has downloaded it.
    Is a separate uploader tool still available?
    Ideas please!

  • No more fast GPS fix with 5800 XM v40.0.005 using ...

    Hi to all,
    I'm so diappointed to have losen one of the best strength of my nokia 5800 XM (fast GPS fix thanks to A-GPS function).
    Indeed, it's now inconceivable to hope a GPS fix before 5 or 10 minutes while staying at the same place. Thus, we lose all the interest of the GPS driving through a city !!!!
    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    Unfortunately the new Ovi Maps version didn't either solve the problem...
    Could you give your feedbacks on the problem or explain me how the problem might be resolved ?
    Thanks to all

    I tried soft and hard reset but nothing seems to be helpful, i'm now convinced the problem is due to the firmware (v40.0.005 but I already had this problem in v31.0.101).
    As you already had the problem best guess
    would be a hardware problem  rather than  firmware .
    Take phone to a Nokia Care Centre   or you could try wiping the phone and memory card and starting from a clean install .

  • ActiveX broken during upgrade ?

    Hi there,
    Labview's ActiveX server seems to have broken in some way after upgrading from v.1 to 8.0.1
    I had LV6.1 installed and the activeX server seemed to work ok, allowing me to browse LV from Origin.
    I installed LV8.0 and upgraded to 8.0.1, whilst still leaving LV6.1 installed and the functionality to browse LV from origin disappeared when I was using LV8, if I opened LV6.1 then the activeX server functions seemed to work.
    I uninstalled LV6.1, LV8.0 and the re-installed LV8.0.1 but the activeX functionality has not been fixed. Origin won't browse labview VIs.
    I tried running the example "labview/examples/comm/freqresp.xls" and this fails when I try to run the VI from the excel macro - I get an "Compile error: Can't find project or library" with the line in the code "Dim lvapp as Labview.Application" highlighted as the source of the error.
    Under tools|Options|Vi Server: Configuration, I have the ActiveX protocol checked and all the accessible server resources checked.
    Any ideas on how I can debug this one and get windows to recognise LV8.0.1 as my activeX server ? Has the LV6.1 installation left something behind which is preventing LV8 taking over ?
    regards
    dave Langstaff

    Hi Dave,
    Sorry to hear you are having trouble with LV 8.0.1, the first suggestion I would give you is have you Mass Compiled your LabVIEW directory.
    Tools >> Advanced >> Mass Compile
    Once you have done that I would then look at your other VI Server settings.
    Tools >> Options >> VI Server: Machine Access
    Make sure you are allowing access to your local machine or all machines, so put in either your IP address or a * to allow all access.
    Then please check VI Server: Exported VIs
    and make sure you have a * to allow all access.
    Please note that if you allow a IP or a VI in these lists (so they have a Green Tick) and then further down the list you deny all IPs or VIs (Red cross) then the deny will take precedence as it the last setting enabled.

  • Attachments broken after upgrade

    Hi All,
    We had a rough upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Most things are running now but there are still some issues. One that I can't figure out is attachments on our wiki pages. Some of the attachments look fine and download fine. Some are missing the icon with the name of the attachment but they have the quick look icon and quicklook is working. When you try to dl the attchment, however you get a error 500.
    I've checked the owner & group of the files. Stopped and started the service repeatedly, both on the command line and in the GUI. We've deleted the GlobalIndex.db a couple of times. Tried deleting the broken attachment and uploading it again.
    Here is the wiki access log when I click on a bad attachment:

    I found the problem, at least in mine.
    When I copied the Group folder, the local admin permissions didn't propagate down through all the sub folders (even though I used the "enclosed items" in Get Info).
    I deleted the folder from the target, cleared the dataVersion.plist, globalIndex.db, and directoryIndex.db, then stopped teams. I fixed the permissions on the source to local admin (and drilled down through all the folders to MAKE SURE!) and copied it over again. Then I started teams up, which rebuilt the above 3 files. I was then able to log into the wiki and set its permissions.
    Yay!

  • AirPlay broken after upgrade to iTunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3

    Hi,
    Upgraded to itunes 12 and iOS 8.1.3 and AirPlay has now broken. I have never had any issues before with AirPlay (in nearly two years.)
    i can only get the AirPlay icon to appear in iphone 6 control centre if I reset my router (HH3). Icon disappears overnight however.
    Icon is also missing completely from iTunes. This is permanent.
    I have tried everything. factory reset my router, powered down all devices inc iPhone 6 (and reset all network settings) and repaired my power line adapters but I can't get AirPlay to work at all using my Pc.
    Help!
    THanks!

    Ps I should clarify that I updated to iTunes 12.1

  • GPS Problem 5800

    I bought nokia 5800 xm 10 days ago , GPA was working fine and I get good signal indoor and outdoor
    Then it stop working !
    I need to restart the phone, the GPS works fine for one day and then I need to restart again.
    Nothing change but I downloaded a lot of applications from ovi store.
    How can I fix that?

    I think that isn't good for mobile to install lots of apps.Uninstall some of them.
    Also, isn't good to install more than 5 apps at one day (i think).

  • GPS nokia 5800 Xpressmusic

    Hi, I'm from Romania and I want to use GPS for free but i can't.I don't lnow how work.Where is the download for Gps for my Nokia,how to install?Thanks! I have already installed Maps but don't work,i can't see the maps.

    Hi AdyTza
    Latest version of OVI Maps available here:http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/f​ree-downloads#/nokia-5800-xpressmusic/
    You need to download regional maps to your device with OVI Suite, microSD needed in 5800 and OVI Maps run once with memory card in place.
    You don't need a network connection for OVI Maps application to work but the Assisted GPS feature does require network connection for rapid positional acquisition, found in "Location" application.

  • GPS ON 5800

    I have a new 5800 with O2 pay and go - i cannot pinpoint my current location using the nokia maps - is the GPS function available with pay and go?
    Solved!

    You should be able to use the GPS even without a sim card. The only feature you won;t be able to use is Assisted GPS, which only speeds up the satellite fix. Ensure that you already have map data preloaded on your phone.

  • Pages Fonts Broken After Upgrade (10.5.7)

    Not sure what happened, but the spacing of the default font hints at a broken font.
    And when Opening up documents sent to me (.doc, .docx etc.) font style and spacing is broken and not like before the upgrade.
    See this .doc file opened in Pages:  http://bit.ly/UI1Seb
    This was sent to me by a third party.
    Here's a document I created a few weeks ago in Pages prior to the upgrade: http://bit.ly/PdO7Qp
    Here's what it looks like when I open in Pages after the upgrade: http://bit.ly/Qt9PTb
    This is weird, but i have a feeling it's beyond Pages, but I don't have issue in email, and other apps I'm working with at this point. It's only revealing itself in Pages and Numbers in iWork?
    Any thoughts on why or what's causing this?

    Well in the image i share here, it's Myriad Pro; others are helvetica. I had some errors with some fonts and delted them in Font Book, but not helvetica nor Myriad.
    Looking deeper said Myriad had duplicates. Couldn't find them myself. When I resolved automatically it simply turned the fonts off, nothing changed in the document which I'm sharing here.
    Thing is, this just started happening since the upgrade. So while digging into fonts is certainly prudent and perhaps the point 7 upgrade might have addresed fonts, I'm not so sure or willing to accept that notion.
    Seems deeper and boy this is annoying. I so used to love pages and now all my docuemtns I open are corrupted. Waste.
    ps. the scribbles on the image are not the result of Pages nor the font issue, just obscuring the doucemtn for those inclined to decode.

  • Serious Problem after update my 5800 with 40.0.005...

    Yesterday,I updated my 5800 with FW 40.0.005. I really impressed with the new easy way of move in touch screen but this version has a big problem that I considered.
    First,you have to set as a ring an .mp4 file or any video file and then lock your mobile 5800.
    When you have an incomming call the screen isn't working normally and it stops for miliseconds and starts again!
    When it happens the power of mobile increasing sharply and I am upset what it could happen if the call continue too much.
    Please somebody check it as soon as possible because it may do harm to our mobile by any explosion from this problem!
    For temporary solution a suggest not to set video files as a ringtone and if you want to do this don't lock your mobile which helps the video file to work normally.
    With regards,

  • 5800 xm v40.0.005 WLAN bug

    Hi,
    Ever since I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 on 5800 XM, my phone automatically connects to the WiFi working in my home. Even after I have turned off all the settings to autodetect WiFi network.. It automatically connects to WiFi network as soon as I disconnect it manually. Earlier(v30 firmware), it used to connect only when I was using some application with WLan usage..
    Its annoying and also draining battery.. I can't switch WiFi router as other devices(laptops, PC) are using it..
    P.S. I installed Image Exchange software in new firmware?
    Kudos, If I Helped !!!

    Your last statement may have provided the answer. Is Image Exchange set to look for a data connection? I have this problem initially with Nimbuzz and a couple of other apps.

  • Mail broken after upgrade to Leopard

    After upgrading my G5 from 10.4 to Leopard, everything works fine except Apple Mail is completely broken. All of my folders were transferred, but they are empty and can not be rebuilt. My old folders are intact and located in the User/Library/Mail folder. All of my accounts (2) transferred correctly, but I can not send or receive mail. Most of the menu items are grayed out, and the application will not quit–except by using force quit. Connection Doctor shows all servers as green. I have completely run out of ideas.

    Had the same problem. There is an apple support note with another simple solution: TS2537.
    Resolution
    1) Force quit Mail if necessary: From the Apple menu, choose Force Quit, select Mail in the Force Quit window's list of applications, then click "Force Quit".
    2) If the issue persists after relaunching Mail, follow these steps while Mail is not running:
    3) From the Finder's Go menu choose Go to Folder. Go to this location (type or paste the following, then click Go): ~/Library/Mail
    4) Move the items named "MessageRules.plist" and "MessageRules.plist.backup" to another location, such as your desktop.
    5) Open Mail. Note: At this point you can either set your Junk Mail settings and re-create your Mail rules manually in Mail preferences, or follow the next two steps (if you re-create rules and Junk settings, do not perform the following steps).
    6 ) Quit Mail.
    7) Place the items named "MessageRules.plist" and "MessageRules.plist.backup" back in the ~/Library/Mail folder (replace any copies that were added to ~/Library/Mail when you opened Mail).
    Second issue
    I had another problem in addition. My mail came back up by using the individual remove commands listed above, but they buttons in my new mail application still reflected the old 2.x layout and not the new mail 3.x layout. Only clearing all the settings by running
    defaults remove com.apple.mail
    solved the issue for me.
    Thanks everyone for their help!!
    in a terminal window cleared everything. Now the buttons are in the right spot.
