N80 Bluetooth GPS Problems ???

Navicore have a Symbian series 3 version of their navigation software available unfotunately they do NOT support the N80, their official reply to me :
'It has been unfortunately identified that there are some problems in the Bluetooth connection between N80 and a GPS receiver. Therefore an application like Navicore using a Bluetooth GPS connection does not work in a reliable way. The problem is under further investigation and we shall add N80 to the list of compatible phones as soon as there is a solution available.'
is there an official reeponse from Nokia to this ????Message Edited by energylevel on 19-Jul-2006

I have the same problem with Nokia N80 (firmware V 3.0617.0.6). You can take a look at this thread:
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=2715&...
So far I haven't received Nokia feedback and looks like no newer firmware exists at the moment.

N80 Bluetooth connection problems

Hi, i really am hoping someone can help i have been a big Nokia fan for a long time but have lately owned Motorola and sony ericson, but i have just bought the Nokia N80, which i have to say is the best phone i have owned yet, but i have a big problem i have an Audi sat nav system, which i also purchased the Bluetooth hands free module which allows me too connect a bluetooth phone to my audi sat nav display and use it as a handsfree, my motorola v3 and SE k750i both connected no problem at all, but my Nokia N80 connects and then 5 minutes later disconnects then 1 min later re connects this happens many times over a period of the day the longest its stayed connected is 1 hour, also i cant read my phone book or missed calls in my audi sat nav screen which it should read from the phone via bluetooth. i have the latest firmware on the N80 so should i go back to a known make that works or could someone offer some help
thanks

Hi Karim/everyone. Been on to Orange again today cos my N80 is still intermittently not working on Bluetooth.When connected to my headset (I've tried 2 different ones now)I get one way transmission; also the headset icon doesn't always disappear when I switch the headset off. Orange are gonna send me a 3rd handset, if this doesn't fix it they want me to cancel my contract and go to another network. Defeatist or what? I'm really surprised Nokia haven't sorted all the issues with this phone, I've always had Nokias but I think it's time to start looking at ericcson P990i or similar when it's released

N80 bluetooth disconnecting issue

I am unable to use my bluetooth gps with N80. It disconnects the bt connection about once in 5 minutes.
I've read some forums and it seems that others are also experiencing similar bug in N80 (bt headsets and gps's)
My firmware is 3.0617.0.6
I'm using Navicore software and disconnecting happens both with location api and direct bluetooth connections. This (using location api) makes me believe, it is operating system issue and not Navicore.
I'm waiting for an upgraded firmware. When will it be released and is this bug known/fixed?

Hi there, I had problems with the bluetooth too. I have the same firmware as you and was having problems with a headset. I took it to Phoneland and although there is no new firmware at the moment there is a service upgrade (Bluetoothe, Wi-Fi etc)which fixed the problem with the headset. Maybe you need to get yours done too. Just tell them your having trouble with bluetooth and they will have a look. It's free too as long as it's still under warranty. Hope this helps.
Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
Life's too important to take seriously.
Nokias I've owned 3210, 3310, 6100, 7650, 6600, 6680, 6630, N80, N95
I'm a 26 year old boy BTW

N80 Bluetooth Fix Yet?

Anybody have any news from Nokia about the long awaited fix for the N80 bluetooth problems?

Patc, I'm with you, and understand your frustration. I'm sure that the tech boffins in Nokia are beavouring away trying to sort the problems out, but suspect that the vast majority of resources are allocated to new phone development not fixing existing phones.
Sister bliss - You are quite right we should give Nokia every chance to sort it out, but they should at least let us know that they accept that there is a problem and are working on a fix, rather than the sloping shoulder syndrome we are all experiencing. If you have a look at some of the older threads here and on other GSM / 3G forums these issues are not days, but months old. This is not acceptable.
In pure legal terms there is a strong case for legal action. I presume that you have heard of the Trade Descriptions Act and the Sale of Goods and Services Act. They both relate to goods being fit for purpose and being accuurately described. In the case of the N80 Blutooth does not work as per the official bluetooth standard specification and the battery life is not even close to the advertised figures. Of course this is not practical and fortunately the UK does not, yet, operate under the same litigious culture that has thrived in the US, so it is unlikley that any case would make it to court, but as patc pointed out it might encourage Nokia senior managment to reallocate resources to resolve problems with existing phones more quickly. I believe this was the point of patc comment.
Rufao - have you checked this particular forum or done a google search for either "N80 GPS" or "N80 bluetooth", your eyes may be opened. Route 66 works on Symbian S60 v3, and it works on the N80. It is not useable on the N80 because the N80 is prone to disconnect from the GPS reciever every few minutes. This afflicts the Navicore software as well. It is a Nokia problem not a route 66 or any other 3rd party developer problem. In actual fact, due to the lack of apparent action from Nokia, it is our problem.
I'm prepared to wait as long as I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
ps Apologies for my spelling, but boiling blood (at Nokia) and writing forum posts whilst at work don't contribute to great grammar !!!!

Reading bluetooth GPS data from a Nokia phone

I have a problem reading data from a MTK bluetooth GPS device from a Nokia phone (7610, Symbian S60).
I wrote a midlet (my phone supports CLDC 1.0/MIDP 2.0) that create a thread to read data
from the device (using RFCOMM protocol), the code is:
package gpsreader.bluetooth;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BTrxtx implements Runnable {
private String url = ""; // Connection string to the bluetooth device.
private boolean canRead; // True if possible to read from device.

The problem is on method "run" at line:
i = inputstream.read(); // read one byte at the time.
after reading some data (usually one NMEA string) read method returns -1,
and even if I try to close the connection and re-open it, after some other data is read,
the midlet is terminated by the phone with an error (something like "jes-13c-java-comms@1441adE32USER-CBase 40").
The GPS receiver is working, since from my PC I am able to connect with a bluetooth USB dongle and read outputs using RFCOMM.
Thx for any suggestions,
LB.

Work around.
I can not say I solved it, but I managed to get a work around:
I read in another post that there are some problems in thread handling on Nokia phones, so I rewrote the class so that it runs on the main thread and now it seems to work (I can not update the screen while reading from the device, but this isn't a big issue for me).
Just in case anyone is interested here is the final code:
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import java.io.*;
public class BTBrxtx {
private String url = ""; // Connection string to the bluetooth device.
private boolean canRead; // True if possible to read from device.
private String btstr = ""; // Last received string.
private int strCounter;
private int byteCounter;
private StreamConnection conn = null;
private InputStream inputstream = null;
private boolean newStr;
private String s = "";
private static final char[] EOL_BYTES = {'\015','\012'};
public BTBrxtx(String u) {
url = u;
canRead = false;
canWrite = false;
strCounter = 0;
byteCounter = 0;
newStr = false;
openConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
private void openInput() {
canRead = false;
try {
inputstream = conn.openInputStream();
canRead = true;
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oin");
System.out.println(e);
private void openConn() {
try {
conn = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(url);
openInput();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("oconn");
System.out.println("Failed to open connection: " + e);
private void closeInput() {
try {
if(inputstream!=null) {
inputstream.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cin");
System.out.println(e);
private void closeConn() {
try {
closeInput();
if(conn!=null) {
conn.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
setBtstr("cconn");
System.out.println(e);
public void readInput() {
try {
int i = 0;
char c;
// Start reading the data from the GPS
while(canRead==true) {
i = inputstream.read(); // read one byte at the time.
if(i==-1) {
closeConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
openConn();
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
}catch(Exception e) {
continue;
byteCounter++;
// Every sentence starts with a '$'
if(i==36){
if(s.length()>0) {
strCounter++;
setBtstr(s);
s = "";
c = (char) i;
s += c;
return;
c = (char) i;
s += c;
System.out.println("GPS return no data");
setBtstr("BTend");
}catch(Exception e){
setBtstr("BTrun");
System.out.println(e);
private String byte2hex(byte b) {
char[] alphaHex = {'0', '1', '2', '3',
'4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', 'A', 'B',
'C', 'D', 'E', 'F',
int low = (int) b & 0x0f;
int hi = (int) (b & 0xf0) >> 4;
String res = String.valueOf(alphaHex[hi]) + String.valueOf(alphaHex[low]);
return res;
public int getStrCounter() {
return strCounter;
public int getByteCounter() {
return byteCounter;
public String getBtstr() {
newStr = false;
return btstr;
private void setBtstr(String s) {
newStr = true;
btstr = s;
public boolean receivedData() {
return newStr;
Now I call method readInput in the main thread and than use getBtstr to retrieve data.
I'm still interested to know if someone had similar problems and how they have been solved.
Thx

N97 GPS problem!

There has been already some discussion about GPS but I want to start new one topic-
I would like to know is there any N97 or anybody which N97 GPS is working fine without any problems?
Today I made my first real navigation trip and I saw that my N97 with newest maps and phone sw was useless.
GPS signal is going to lost very often and my position arrow is coming too late for corners and turns. Also speed shows very often 0km/h and sometimes it goes totally grazy when poistion is lost and it's starting to calculate route again and again and it never ends without starting whole navigation from the beginning.
Well when I was returning back to my home today i decided to use my Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS receiver and when I used that and also phone's A-GPS then MAPS worked very well. None of problems.....
I truly hope that this GPS problem exists on every released N97 at this time because then it would be most propably SW related problem, not HW problem. Of course it can be also HW problem but I do not belive that.
Also some other Nokia phone models have had almost similar problems (with early sw versions) but those has been fixed by phone sw later on. But I must to admit that not so bad that I faced with N97 today.....

I believe it is a hardware problem. I use GPS Data all the time and it never fails that my N95-3 and E71-2 both get a good GPS signal that doesn't fluctuate constantly or randomly go in and out. It doesn't matter what application I'm in either, whether that be Google Maps, or Nokia Maps. The N97 has a diffiicult time finding and keeping hold of a GPS signal. Both of my N97's (first and second) are exactly the same.
The antenna is the problem. There is no doubt in my mind. All the software in the world can't make up for an antenna that can't keep a signal. It can mask the problem to a certain extent, which supposedly Nokia Maps 3.1 does, but it doesn't solve the real issue here which is **bleep** hardware.
Even on days and nights where there are not clouds in the sky, I get the "GPS does not work well indoors" error message while driving around in my car, trying to use the "GPS Data" application. My N95-3 and E71 never tell me that.
Nokia, as much as I like them, screwed this phone up hard, and to be honest, they've been doing it for some time.

E52 and LD-4W Bluetooth GPS module ?

Does the Nokia E52 support the LD-4W Bluetooth GPS module ?
I'm aware of the builtin A-GPS in the E52, however, it seems using the LD-4W for GPS has benefits in terms of GPS accuracy as well as conseving the phones battery.
Reinhard

On the E71 i use the LD-4W.... and i can confirm that accuracy is much better... and time to first fix is much lower. Only few problems with sometimes unstable Bluetooth connection... but this is an issue i have with all bluetooth connections, so it seems to be the phone......

Non support of external Bluetooth GPS--- WHY???

I have an iPad2 wifi I want to use as a moving map system for flying. Apple does not support external Bluetooth GPS units, .... WHY????
I don't want to have to buy another BT GPS, as I already have 4 that SHOULD work. Short of Hacking the iPad, there is only one BT GPS that works.
I'm dissapointed, and may have to return this iPad if I can't get it to work with what I already have.
Any ideas??
Thanks.
Dave

Chris, None of my BT GPS units below will link to the iPad. I have had no problems at all with linking them to any other PDA, Laptop, or Computer that I've tried. (OK, all PC's)
The GNS 5870 will connect to Apple only.
The Dual XGPS 150 has a switch to change from Apple to all others.
I don't want to have to buy another BT GPS just for this iPad.

N86 GPS problem

I have a problem with GPS on Nokia N86:
It has a huge problem to get a connection with sattelities. It is not a Ovi Maps fault because I have checked it with other applications. Even if it connect with sattelites, it works inaccurately and keeps breaking the conection. The software is up to date. It made a test with Nokia LD-3W via bluetooth and it works perfect. Is it possible that integrated GPS is broken? Does anybody knows the solution?

Hi Folks,
I also got a N86 a few days ago and well, I also have that GPS problem.
The strange thing is, I installed Sygic 7.x and he navigation was working without problems, 3 times no problem to get a quick gps fix.
But as for me Sygic is **bleep** I decided to switch over to Garmin Mobile XT which I liked on the 5800.
From that time I experiance problems with a gps fiy, sometimes it works within a minute, sometimes I wait 30 minutes without any fix.
During that time I'm outside and A-GPS is switched on.
It's the same if I just try the Nokia tools like OVI-Maps, or just GPS informations.....no fix, so it's not a Garmin problem.
I'm not sure if that is an issue which will be fixed with a firmware update, but I hope so very much!
I'm thinking of getting it to a Nokia Service point to complain about it....will see...
As far it does not look like anybody has a solution for that problem....damnit

GPS Problems after update to 50.0.005

Hi,
after having updated to 50.0.005 I have problems using Ovi Maps and other GPS related apps. It takes a very long time for my Nokia 5800 XM to log into the satellites.
Having opened the satellite status, I can see up to 9 satellites but the mobile won't log them. Sometimes it needs up to 30 minutes, sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Before that my mobile needed approx. 30 sec. to get the signal and start working.
Anybody else having the same probs?
Thanks.
Sapere aude!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

<Do you have 3.03 installed on v40? Check your installed apps if the 3.03 Ovi maps is still installed. If it is, remove it. Ovi 3.03 is integrated in the firmware of v50, and if it is still installed on your C drive, then you have a double installation of 3.03 which is probably causing the problem>
i do agree with chanchan statement..at 1st place i did install ovi maps 3.03 in my nokia 5800 v50..yes it caused problem to gps positioning..i've tried to reset my phone n my gps positioning back to work..but unfortunately after sometime my ovi maps doesn't work at all after gained liittle hope of reseting my phone..it fails to detect satellite again..it always ask for connection..as i know, the new version of ovi maps navigation is free of charge..
my positioning method are:
Assisted GPS (ticked)
integrated GPS (ticked)
bluetooth GPS (unticked)
Network based (unticked)
can someone help me with this god damn bug..im so frustrated..

I bought this Data Logger for a specific purpuse to help out with my Search and Rescue volunteer activities, and I really need help with this!!! I am hoping apple will help me!!!

I looked at the same sight for that and it does not say that. This is the first time I have posted a question, you don't have to be mean about it. I am trying to get this to work for a good cause.
It may be the best source of assistance is the manufacturer of the device. I suspect you will need a specific app for the iPhone to get it to work, but the site is rather ambiguous about that.

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.
Master Reset/Soft Reset:
Factory Reset option 1
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch Privacy
Touch Factory Data reset
Touch Reset Phone
Warning: This will erase all data from your phone, including:
Your Google account
System and application data and settings
Downloaded Applications
It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos
Factory Reset option 2 - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
Turn off the phone
Press and hold "home" + "end" + "volume up or down" keys together for a few seconds when the device is power off
Once device displays boot information, release keys.
Soft Reset
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
or
Remove battery cover, remove battery and reinstall.Also there is a new update for LG Ally it will be the Froyo 2.2 but there is not release date available at this time it will post on your device when available. Hope this Helps. Leslie

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

Mac Mini Bluetooth hardware problems ?

I own a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 1Gb bought last October, an Apple wireless keyboard and an Apple wireless mouse, both I formerly use without any problems with my old Powerbook G4. By now, I used them with my Mac Mini it worked perfectly fine. But since two or three weeks, I’ve got big Bluetooth connection problem. Randomly, after one or two hours of use, both keyboard and mouse loose connection and the Bluetooth symbol change itself into a strange one. I had a look on your site to learn the meaning of it and the symbol is see which is a Bluetooth symbol with a horizontal zebra means that no Bluetooth hardware can be found! Does my Mac Mini built-in Bluetooth card have problems?
Since I haven’t got any wired USB keyboard or mouse I have to reboot my Mac Mini quite roughly. Sometimes one reboot is enough to make the Bluetooth of Mac Mini to work again, sometimes not and I have to wait a little bit more (more than ten minutes). I can see it works again as the Bluetooth symbol is the right one again (the one with the dots).
It is very annoying. And I am a bit sad to have such problems with Apple stuff. Is there something I could do to avoid such a waste of time? Or shall I call Apple Care for fear it should be a hardware problem.
Of course, I use brand new batteries for both of them.

My mini is doing it as well. Just started doing 2-3 weeks ago. Logitech Denovo or Apple Bluetooth. Doesn't matter which. Loses it in about an hour or so. Al Keyboards and mice were purchased at about the same time as the core 2 duo mini, ~ last October.
Must power cycle the machine to get it back and it must be paired again. Very annoying. Can't remember if it coincides with an Apple update.
This mini has had the superdrive replaced twice, once within 6 weeks of purchase. Ever since Leopard, it's been close to the best media head. now this...
Sigh.
(What makes it not the best? Frontrow doesn't sort titles correctly [1, 10, 2, 3 - wrong!], doesn't force mount aliases in the movies directory, doesn't put out 1080p without hacking. And I'd so love eyeTV integration with Frontrow. It'd be perfect then.)

GPS problem (?) in new iPad wifi?

If I open Map app, iPad can show me my location... but it seems that the gps won't refresh itself. When I am moving around by car.... the gps will only show me the location where i open the map app and stays there and wont follow my moving car, until I re-launch the map app.
Is it a gps problem or does it the way wifi iPad work? Because I used to have an iPad (1st gen) wifi+3g and the map+gps worked fine.

Ouch....
It explains the "problem".
Thanks stedman1.
