GPS positioning failure [nokia 5800XM]

Hi all
i need some help
my nokia 5800 xm gps isn't working properly
i get the signal but it always show my location is >850m from the place i stand
pleasse help
what should i do to fix it?
i use FW v52.0.7 and ovi maps 3.6 beta

Just to elaborate on post by farby which is advocating use of Integrated GPS positioning method only, whilst this will work eventually it can take quite a while to establish very first positional lock and you probably need to be outdoors; this method is targetted at users whom don't have a generous data download and don't want to run up bill especially when roaming.
An discrepancy of this much in position usually indicative of a location determined by cell tower triangulation, before device has accurately locked on to satellites.
You might like to look in Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning server > Podsitioning server use - check if correct network access point is defined 3G/GPRS
The WiFi/Network positioning method added from OVI Maps v3.04 on is similar to Maps Booster application which uses Skyhook, where the location of WiFi access points and cellular towers is logged on database; the more users whom participate means the system grows in accuracy.

Nokia 5800XM Camera

Please improve the nokia 5800xm camera picture quality.

And so taking photos on the device. As you might expect, my tips are largely as they'd be for any other camera-toting smartphone, with just a few tweaks:
The easiest way to start the Camera application is to press and hold the camera shutter key. Because Camera is kept loaded in memory on the 5800, it should appear almost instantaneously, ready for action. (Note that if you haven't used your 5800 for a minute or so previously, you may need to flick the keylock switch first)
Don't worry too much about dust on the camera lens, a brief wipe on a soft cloth is all that's needed to get rid of any finger grease - if you get too zealous about cleaning the glass, you'll end up with hundreds of micro-scratches. These won't affect photos too much, but they will look ugly.
Don't worry about changing 'scene mode' or other settings, most of them don't make any difference.
As mentioned above, know that the 5800 XpressMusic's camera is on the small side, physically, so you'll need to have lots of light around to register on the small sensor. Sunlight is best, of course, but there are still wide variations in light levels on overcast days. Low light means potentially 'noisy' photos. And focussing won't be as accurate. Shooting snaps indoors will often produce disappointing results, but you may be able to help by hitting that big, thumb-friendly flash icon and setting flash to 'on'. This is called fill-in flash and for subjects a metre or so away in indistinct indoor lighting, can make a difference.
The usual photo-taking tips apply, as with any camera phone: try to brace yourself when taking a photo, so that the device doesn't shake; wait a fraction of a second after the shutter sound before moving the phone down; think about the source of light and try to have it in the arc behind you if possible; for important static shots, take more than one, just in case - one may be sharper, better focussed or more shake-free.
By default, geotagging of your photos is turned OFF. If you think you'll be wanting to place your photos on a map later on (e.g. on Flickr or Share on Ovi) then go into 'Options - Settings' and turn 'Show GPS info' on. As usual with GPS, be aware that getting a position fix may take a minute or so if you've moved a long way from the last time you used the phone's GPS. And it won't work indoors unless you're close to a big window and feely lucky... The geotagging algorithms do allow a certain time leeway, i.e. they'll accept a previous position fix provided it wasn't too long ago.
Tapping on the envelope icon is the shortcut to use to fire your photo up to the world immediately - but that's another tutorial for another day!

Using the GPS with a Nokia e75

I want to use the GPS with my Nokia E75 without connectig the Internet. Is it possible??

Hi,
YES! it is possible. You simply neeed to enable GPS and disable the other Positioning method. Please check your userguide to see how to change positioning settings.
Hope this helps.
Your Nokia Angel in disguise

Is your GPS position 50-100 meters off center?

For some reason, my GPS position is always 100 meters too far East. Anyone else have this problem?
Can I calibrate it so I can shift the GPS position West 100 meters?
Would the "Altitude Calibration" option in the GPS Data->Options help?
The GPS position on the Map is constantly jumping off the road and thinking I am on a side road or driving through houses or bush.
I am in Sydney Australian and downloaded the Eastern AUS maps through Map Loader, I was told we use WG584 or AUS66 or AUS84 GPS tracking in Sydney. Where can I set this up?

It seems that us in AUS/NZ need to configure the GPS so it uses AUS66 or AUS84 Datum, which I think is what our local Maps use. Since the N95 uses the new WG584 Datum, it does not align us properly to our older AUS66 or AUS84 based maps, causing our maps to be about 100m-200m too far East
"If you intend to use this technique ensure that your GPS is set to the global WGS84 datum, not one of the older local Australian datum's such as AUS66 or AUS84 upon which many existing maps are based. WGS84 is the standard for GPS and if you select another datum, the GPS does the conversion internally."
http://www.cavedivers.com.au/articles/mapping.htm
More info - Google Search:
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=AUS66+AUS84&btnG=Search&hl=en
Now the question is, can we set our N95 to use AUS66 or AUS84 ?
Or do Nokia need to update our Maps to align with WGS84?

Never can obtain GPS Position

I just got my Nokia 6700 Classic and I wanted for an hour and the phone is still waiting for GPS Position! I used to have Eten X500 Windows Mobile PDA phone with 10 to 30 sec I am able to obtain the GPS Position even in my home. Is there any solution for my Nokia 6700 Classic GPS capability? Nokia pls help!

Thank you aspergerguy for the link. My issue unfortunately is not with disabling the A-GPS, but how to get a location after.
I've disabled a-gps and any network access, but cannot get a GPS location using the Ovi Maps software. I only get the message "waiting for GPS position" but even after an hour I don't get a lock on my position. I've tried all the usual:
- placing the phone in the open
- not touching the phone while searching as not to disrupt the GPS tracker
but no matter what I do, the phone can't find my possition.
I am using the latest version available on Nokia Ovi Suite software and have the corresponding maps installed for my region.
Unfortunately there aren't a lot of options left, except that the internal GPS is not functioning. I was hoping there was something else I could try...

Vlingo Plus for Nokia 5800xm

I installed Vlingo Plus from OVI Store on my Nokia 5800xm.. When I say call xyz.. It starts dialing to xyz.. but immediately (fraction of a second) 'Call Disconnected' is shown and 'No answer' message is displayed on the screen.. This happens while I try ANY number from my contacts..
Contacted the Vlingo support and was told to remove the battery for a few minutes insert and re-boot.. but the problem is still there.. Have given my feedback to Vlingo but in the mean time.. can someone suggest the solution ??
Thanx in advance..
P.S. No problem with calls made thru' normal dialling..

Thanx jimmyireland.. but I have already done that and also written a Private message to one of the mods.. The one thru' the 'Contact Us' seems already closed with the STANDARD reply...

The one thru' the mods is still open but not so prompt it seems...a reply last received on 3rd Nov., 2010 with some comments of "sent higher up" .. but no progress since then...

Nokia 5800XM v 52.0.007 Updated but ....! HELP

Hi ,
i have updated my nokia 5800XM to v52.0.007 but i have a problem. i have many applications installed on the previous version. they still work on this firmware version but how do i remove or update them because most of them are not showing in the application manager, as like before in the previous version.
Any help would b appreciated.
THANKS

I'm afraid you're dealing with memory card corruption... If you can't access the App Manager under Settings, after you start the phone without the memory card, then the issue is more serious and quite likelly you'll have to hard reset the phone.... if possible save and backup messages, contacts, notes and bookmarks to your PC using Ovi Suite...
Also you should save everything you can and know on your memory card (photos, music, videos, etc) and format it... You should lose the maps previously installed and have to install them again.
Most often this type of corruption occurs with Widget Installer application that, on phone start-up, scans the contents of phone and card memory for install files for widgets... also themes on memory card don't do anything good to avoid corruption of it.
You can try PC suite to manually remove applications that might be causing issues, but my experience with it tells me that it will fail to adquire app list when phone is misbehaving like that....
Memory card corruption happenned me about two or three times, I formatted the card and everything worked after that... The biggest pain for me was to download the maps again.... nokia needs a offline installer of the maps.... downloading 3Gb at 40Kb/s everytime memory card gets corrupted it's not good...
5800xm on a blender ... will happen sooner than expected.... v51 is a failure as an update .... v52 just postponed its fate....

Nokia 5800xm LEFT OUT but its not worth it !!

Thnx Rocky(alias)
Why Nokia 5800xm is not getting any updates, i think its left out , We spent Rs 20000(arnd) for this phone and we are no where in the competition , no processor tweaks, no os tweaks by means of software updates and most importantly the basic software updates like Flash Lite 4 for S60 5th edition phones as Nokia 5800 supports it . Any replies positive /negative will be appreciated. Just ma view , thnx a lot NOKIA and BETA LABS , you people are doing a great job !!

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

Nokia 5800XM - Live Mail Not Working in Nokia Mess...

Hello There,
It has been a long time since I have been using the Nokia Messaging Email to receive emails from my different email accounts includinga couple of Windows Live Mail accounts to my Nokia 5800XM and it was working like a charm till a couple of weeks age.
Since last couple of weeks I am not receiving email from my Windows Live Mail accounts, other account POP/IMAP are working fine but Windows Live Mail account are not working at all, none of them. I haven't changed any password or something, I don't know what is wrong but I am unable to receive email from WLM, even if I open mail app and manually do a Send/ Receive, it doesn't update my emails from my WLM accounts. I have even tried resetting the data from Nokia Messaging Email settings but for no avail.
Can someone help or update me in this regard, what's going on, is it just me or . ...

Although Internet works, Nokia Mail uses another configuration account. Therefore, please, double-check Nokia » Menu » Configuration » Active. Which network operator do you use, in which country?

Is there an App for the iPad that will show my GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?

Is there and App for the iPad that will show mu GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?
Thanks,

There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
copied from NAVIGON app:
...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
•     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
      always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
      to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
•     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
       phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
       an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
       by cable or Bluetooth.
•     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
      the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

Hello
I am not expert for Xbox but if you Google around you will find many articles and comments about that. Before you wait here and hope that someone has the same unit and Xbox check a little bit what other forums offer as solution.
