N95 and using A-GPS

Hi, i have a Nokia N95 with the v12 firmware installed, i have heard that this firmware should enable A-GPS and the GPS should lock on in a few seconds. but for me it takes about 5 minutes and in the gps data application i usually see 4 or 5 sattelites with full signals, but none of them gets colored black for a long time.
yesterday i was trying to get a lock while walking outside. would i get better chances of locking on if i stood still? and once i get a lock does the phone stay connected to the satellites or is it possible that the link gets broken and i have to wait another 5 minutes for it to lock on again?
About A-GPS: as i understand it works by using the data about which signal stations are around it. is it possible that in slovenia the application hasn't got the information about which station is at which coordinates and so A-GPS is useless?

From my understanding from a cold start, GPS searches for the sats in the following order.
1
1 then 2
1 then 2 then 3
1 then 2 then 3 then 4
But if it doesn't get a lock on, say the fourth, then it starts from 1 again.
Thats why they can take ages to get a good lock.

    How often do you use GPS?
    The first Fix can take up to 45 minutes if you don't have or use A-GPS.
    Try to leave the phone somewhere outside and wait for connection or buy an external BT GPS receiver which usually connects in a few seconds.
    Why don't you as suggested just download the map data to your SD card? It is anyway for free.
    Google Maps normally tries to use network positioning, which also works for Maps. Please check your setting in the GPS tab. If you need help please reply ;-)

  • 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...

  • If i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display

    because when i use the gps app in my iphone 4s in the car my iphone gets overheat so
    if i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display
    will that help?

    When you use your GPS does your iPhone get hot enough to shutdown?  The reason I ask is that I have run my GPS app with the screen brightness set to near max connected to power for hours.  My iPhone got hot, but didn't shutdown.

  • 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. 
    *shrug*
    Best of luck.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • Is there an app that can read the adresse in calender and use it in a gps app so you dont have to right it 2 times.

    Is there an app that can read the adresse in calender and use it in a gps app so you dont have to right it 2 times.

    If it is a complete address, and is formated properly, it should appear as a link. Tap on it and it will open the Maps App.

  • I have a new i phone and pay for gps---it will show directions but does not use a voice - how do i get it to use the voice?

    Just got an iphone and pay for gps---how do i get the voice to work--it shows the directions but doesn't say it.

    If you did not buy one that specifically states it does voice directions-there is nothing you can do.
    Check the app settings, check the app website.

    Hi,
    I am new n95 user in new zealand. I have a red cross on the satellite when i got into the maps. Any ideas? Thanks.
    Hi seawolf
    If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
    This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle - signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid black bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
    In Maps application it zooms in to last recorded position on starting. At first satellite icon bottom right corner has RED CROSS - this disappears once signal acquired.

  • Using some GPS apps kills my cellphone provider's signal?

    Hello Guys,
    I bought a brand new iphone 4s 16gb and recently I have a problem that has turned very annoying. Let me give you a background story:
    I downloaded "Waze" app and worked fine for over a week. After that it suddenly started to tell me that, it couldn't find my location and that the GPS was not working. When I looked up to the status of my provider's signal (top left corner) I realized that it was being reseted every 20 seconds or so, making me unable to have a solid connection with my provider. This meant that I was either unable to use internet or making phone calls. I call my service provider to check if the issue was on their part, but they told me my iphone was forcing a connection because the GPS signal was not found. I isolate the issue and realize that Waze is the one breaking my signal and making the gps go crazy. I even try using the MAPS app and it doesn't happen, if of course, I don't use Waze first. So my question is: "Is there a work around for this issue? or is some issue with GPS over IOS 5?"
    Thanks in advance

    Hey,
    Thanks for the quick answer. I checked the option on my phone but it is off. I also have to mention that once I use Waze, and try to use Maps the behaviour continues. Nevertheless if I turn on Airplane mode, in order to kill the signals completly, and then turning it back to off it starts working again with Maps. I suspect its an icompatibility with Waze and Iphone 4s.

  • How to generate a gps signal using the PXI-5671 after generating a gps binary file using the gps toolkit

    Hi,
    I am trying to test a GPS receiver and would like to use the PXI-5671 to stream a GPS binary data file which was generated using the GPS toolkit. I tried using the RFSG Arbitrary Waveform Generation.vi but it doesn't work.  Is there a sample code that will allow me to do this?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    The NI-RFSG driver certainly allows you to stream waveform files to signal generators without the use of the GPS Toolkit, as shown here. However, the NI-RFSG driver does not provide the user with out-of-box applications that can stream GPS waveforms with Almanac and Ephemeris information to various signal generators. For this reason, the NI GPS toolkit will be needed. 
    The only alternative is that you will gather your own Almanac and Ephemeris files and implement your own functionality using the base RFSG driver to generate and stream the GPS signals. This is something that you would need to do on your own, which could prove to be difficult, thus making the GPS toolkit the best option.
    I hope this information helps.
