N95 8Gb - using the internatl GPS dicsonnects Blue...

Hi,
I've got a current version N95 8Hb with all the updates etc. I want to use a bluetooth headset for voice navigation with the internal GPS with Garmin Mobile XT software.
As soon as I activate any software that uses the internal GPS the bluetooth headset is disconnected. Turn off the GPS and the headset reconnects.
How can I stop this happening so I can use the headset. 
Cheers 

Ok,
First things. How are you sure that MAPS was the application responsible for the data usage?
MMS, email, SMS, browser, etc. etc. many applications can access the data line and you specify this in each application. I don't know of any way to turn it off completely without using OFFLINE mode. The settings you described basically allow any application to use data "when needed" and use ANY access point and use HSDPA if available.
About GPS methods:
Network based: In some networks it uses triangulation from the base stations to get a positional fix, This has to be supported by the network, but this doesn't (or shouldn't) use "internet data" so it shouldn't count towards your data plan.
Bluetooth: This option is to use an external GPS module like the LD-4W or others. This is great for car usage as the reception from these modules is better than the phone antenna. If there's not BT GPS device leaving it on doesn't really affect anything.
Assisted: this is AGPS and uses a combination of the stand alone GPS module and the network to get a faster location fix. THis is the best option, I'm not 100% sure if this uses network data channel, mmm need to confirm.
Integrated: It ONLY uses the GPS receiver inside the Phone, It's much slower to get the first fix and you are more likely to lose the signal if you are in an urban environment.
If you select Integrated and/or Bluetooth and turn off Network and AGPS, then you will get GPS fix totally independent of your operator. You can use MAPS without a SIM card if I'm not mistaken...

  • Transfer of Birthdays to N95 8GB using Phone Switc...

    I transferred my Birthdays from a 6230i to a N95 8GB using the Phone Swith facility and infrared and they have transferred to the N95 as Meetings rather than Anniversaries.
    The Meetings are on the N95 with a Yearly repeat but are not Anniversaries. The age is not displayed on the calendar entry whereas it was on the 6230i. The reminder alarm has not transferred either and there is no way of viewing these birthdays separately from other calendar entries.
    Have I done something wrong with the transfer? Can this be corrected? Does the N95 not have the same calendar facilities as the 6230i?! Please advise. Thanks in advance!

    Yeah this is really annoying - I've done the same thing in upgrading from my 6233, and I'm still trying to find a solution other than manually editing every single entry.
    Actually there are tons of things, basic functionalities, which were present in the 6233 but which are missing or not as good in the so called 'smart phone'!
    I really wish Nokia would keep things consistent between models, as we all spend a long time getting used to a particular model and developing habits and ways of doing things - then we upgrade, sticking with Nokia so we don't have to change the way we do things, only to find out that Nokia have removed/changed/buggered up a perfectly good function.
    Anyway, if I find a solution I'll post it here - and if you could do the same that'd be great! :-)
    I didn't get where I am today.

  • HT4623 Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
    I could not connect to my home network.  What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen.  Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto".  Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank. 
    This should not work.  However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not.

    Best of luck.

  • If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS

    If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

    Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

    All existing ephemeris GPS data would be lost by software re-installation so as farby points out initial positional fix may take up to 30 minutes.
    Also check to see whether device has Ovi Maps v3.01 now installed as not part of firmware:

  • How can I use the embeded GPS in my Sprint MiFi Hotspot for  my location on my iPad4 wifi only device

    The iPad uses the wifi network to determine the location  My default connection is through my Sprint MiFi, but it does not use its location gps eventhough it is active for Maps. It did use a local tower in a wisconsin town yesterday and no it thinks I'm there and I cannot refresh it. I am brand new to apple IOS as I won the device last Thursday. I'm  trying to upgrade the OS to 7 as it has 6 installed. I need to find a faster connection to do it though.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

  • How can I use the iPhone GPS without a contract?

    Is there any way? Call me crazy, but I want GPS and I already have a cellphone that I'm not interested in replacing. Would it be possible to go and get an iPhone and use the GPS without paying for a plan? I already use AT&T, but what don't want is to pay for the data plan. Does the GPS system use the AT&T service to function at all?
    Thanks!

    The iPhone 3G will be sold at at&t and Apple brick and mortar stores only - at least initially, and activation and signing a two year contract will be required at the store when the iPhone is purchased. The unlimited data plan is not an option and is required.
    The iPhone includes what is called A-GPS or assisted GPS.
    The iPhone Maps application downloads selected maps from Google, which is downloaded to the iPhone via wi-fi or at&t's cellular network. GPS without having access to maps won't be much good. Some 3rd parties may provide select maps that can be purchased and downloaded to the iPhone via the iTunes App Store for access via GPS if there is no cell phone reception, but this is unknown.

  • Why won't my N95 8Gb display the phone number in t...

    Symbian can be rather stupid and annoying. If you have a contact with multiple numbers in it. Symbian will not show you which number you're calling or receiving, you would have to dig into the details submenus to find out. This is real annoying as a friend called me with his office number the other day. So when I tried to call back later in the evening by selecting his name from the call records, no one answered because I didn't know that he used his office number to call. The little graphic icon next to the caller's name is also pretty much useless and erratic because it will resort to always display the mobile phone icon (in the call history) regardless of the type of number I saved it in the phone book. Also I don't have any caller ID software installed right now so this is pretty annoying.

    Agree - the Log screen really should be Green-button-enabled... Still, it does show the number, though the graphic number always tends to be for the Home phone...

  • Stopping my n95 8gb using data packets?

    Hi just got the phone and am worried that i could end up with a huge bill for the phone when its accessing data. Is there a way to stop it completly or making it ask every time?

    Would be nice to see a STOP ALL DATA CONNECTIONS button available in Standby mode like what is available in Windows Mobile. Also, what would be cooler is if it could tell you which program is asking to connect to the Internet and if you would allow it. This way you can determine which program is malconfigured.

    try to delete all the BT pairings in the phone, and try to reset the BT Headset, then pair again with the phone 1st, if this is your priority...
    remember your headset can accept up to 8 pairings, and the 1st pairing is always the number one priority, hence it will look for that device 1st...

  • I like to know how to User a Nokia N95 8GB, as GPS...

    Hiya Everyone,
    I had download a great app called KISMAC Trunk for MAC OS X 10.5, within the app it has a GPS map, but i cannot work out how, by using my Nokia N95 8GB phone, as a GPS receiver, i can see that the N95 is getting singles from the satellites, but i would like to know if there is or is not, away for the GPS data to be able to be used by KISMAC software?
    I have tried loads of thing, but i cannot get the Phone and the MAC to used the GPS data
    Please can anyone shed any light how i could get a fix from my problem?
    Thanks

    i haven't used it in a while now, but if i recall correctly i used this app on my N95-1, and something like gpsX on my Powerbook to receive the gps data.
    at the time i found these apps by searching for info on using my N95 as a GPS for google earth.  i'd bet searching for info re: google earth will turn up more results than searching for info re: kismac (one is a bit more socially acceptable than the other).

  • Connecting to the internet via PC Suite / N95 8GB ...

    I'm struggling to connect to the internet via PC Suite (v7.1.30.9), using Vista Ultimate SP2, repeatedly getting the error "Failed to connect to the network! One touch access could not connect to the selected device". I've tried different cables, checked for PC Suite updates, updated the phone's software, etc, but all to no avail. (I am able to connect immediately using my N80, so the problem seems to be on the N95 8GB). The rest of the PC Suite connection seems fine. Can anyone help me? 

    I found a situation where your error message appears. It is the case when the nokia is connected using the data transfer mode and simultaneously the OneTouch Application is started. Then the device is not recognized by the modem software. The PC Suite mode is required for the OneTouch Application.
    In my situation I think I already saw all of the possible error messages described in the documentation during the various experiments.
    For example I tried to uninstall and reinstall the cable drivers. Unfortunately the driver page of N95 8GB does not include them only the page of N95. This was a step towards success - what concerns the OneTouch Application.
    Sometimes it is useful to switch off and on the phone, specially when it is not possible to connect with the modem driver.
    In my opinion the possibility of completly uninstalling the Nokia Suite is missing. You can uninstall all parts but after reinstallation the Nokia Phone Browser is no more available, the icon is not displayed. All the software packages are working fine even the modem drivers but not the Phone Browser.

  • Some questions on the 5800 GPS

    Hi folks
    i am debating at the moment whether to upgrade from my N95 to a N95 8GB or the lovely 5800, i prefer the symbian OS so im glad to stay with these two phones. now i had tomtom 6 working fine on my N95 and i know it will work ok on the N95 8GB but the verdict i find on the interwebs is a bit hit and miss as to whether it will work on the 5800. however i am more interested in the Nokia Maps
    now as i understand this program is included and you can use the A-GPS built in GPS but can you use an external source? i have a BT GPS antenna and would be happy to use this to avoid paying A-GPS charges is this feature still ok with nokia maps? also is it possible to just run the nokia maps through the built in GPS and not using the A-GPS.
    i also just want to clarify something about the maps too, as i understand it comes with the function built in to navigate you point to point but doesnt include voice instruction. you pay extra for that functionaility?
    thanks very much folks id love to give the 5800 a twirl as much as i love the N95 i love to try new stuff

    Thanks! I'm planning to head to the shops tomorrow to get 5800 XM.
    I never actually tried seeing if there was a visual turn by turn navigation on my friends' phones before because I thought there wasn't one. Hmm. Do you mean the "tracking" option? The very early version of Nokia Maps on N95 had that tracking option (Maps 1.x?), but the new ones don't (Maps 2.0).
    Paying for navigation is a bit steep for me after I convert the price to my currency. So I totally understand! I might try monthly though for special events.
    Thanks for the kudos. Do skim through the rest of this board section. You might find your answer since 5800 XM uses Maps 2.0 which is available in other phones too. I learnt a lot of info from here.
