N95 GPS Problem

1)When I Start the 'Maps' application the phone just restarts..
2)When I Connect the phone with the USB , set it in the mode for external memory and start the maploader the maploader says that there is error and it is : "The map data on your device is not compartible with the map data available through Nokia Map Loader"
What should I do ??Message Edited by sosko on 06-Aug-200706:10 PM

MapLoader doesn't work unless you've successfully started the Maps app at least once on the phone, and you also need to connect the phone to the PC in USB mass storage mode (not PC Suite mode or anything else).
I'm afraid I don't know why the Maps app doesn't start properly on your phone. If it happened on mine, I'd first try to reformat the memory card (back up any data first).
If that's not enough, I might reformat the phone first (see the "sticky" topic on this discussion area).
If even that is not enough, for some strange reason or another, I'd try to see if reinstalling the firmware helps: http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • GPS problem with 3GS

    Dont know what's wrong with my GPS service. I can use the "map" app. But when i use "Navigon", it shows that "no GPS service found". I used Navigon before, and it worked perfectly. My friend also has 3GS and the same app. No any GPS problem. I tried to download and install again, but it still doesnt work. Also tried restarting iphone. >.<
    Can someone help me? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    Apple announced no such problem because there was and is no such problem. This would mean every single 3GS has a GPS problem or failure. Hogwash.
    The GPS receiver on your 3GS may have a problem. Hardware can and does fail.

  • Nokia N95 USB Problem

    I have a problem with my Nokia N95-1 considering the USB transfer to my Memory Card.
    I have a 1GB Kingston MicroSD, the latest software (V 20.0.015, 13-11-07, RM-159, Balkans Pack, updated from V13); PC Suite v6.85.14.1 on Windows XP Professional.
    While I was transfering some 300MB of music to the MicroSD, Explorer crashed and reported that data might have
    been lost during the transfer. I checked my phone and noticed "ghost" files on the memory card (free memory was reduced by 300MB, but the phone couldn't register new files). I retransfered the files, disconnected the phone and started the Music Player.
    Music Player said "Repairing corrupted database", hanged for a while and then added newly transfered files to the track list. But, when I tried to play a file, it refused to do it and said "Generalystem error". Phone became slow and impossible to operate, so I had to restart it. Same problem occured again, and similar things happened in File Explorer (shows nothing on the card), LCG Jukebox and LCG Xplore (get stucked when they access it or refuse to start files).
    After this, I removed the MicroSD - after this, everything on my N95 returned to normal.
    Since then, I've tried to change the USB Cable, USB Port, USB Transfer mode; tried to reformat my MicroSD many times with many formatting tools - Phone Memory Card Manager, Windows Formatter, KillDisk, Panasonic SDFormatter - but the result always remained the same: after I retransfer the files to the card, it becomes useless until I reformat it again.
    These programs didn't register any corruptions, but Windows Formatter and Panasonic SDFormatter would sometimes report that they were unable to reformat the card.
    I tried to insert the MicroSD into my MSI Mega538 MP3 player, reformat, and then transfer files to it. Again,
    transfer itself worked okay, but when I inserted the card into my N95, same problem occured. I tried to transfer
    some files to the Phone Memory via PC Suite - it worked great.
    I tried to insert my friend's 1GB Kingston MicroSD into the phone. It registered it perfectly - Music Player has
    refreshed the database, registered new files and played them without any problem. Same goes for the Gallery - some
    400 images and videos were recognized right away, and the phone itself worked fast and stable.
    When I bought my phone, I had no problems at all - files could be transfered normally, Music Player would simply
    refresh the database, and I could use the files easily - no problems, system errors, system hangs or restarts. But after that Explorer crash, I simply can't use the memory card any more.
    Sorry for long post, but I really need your help. Is the memory card corrupted, is it a hardware or software problem
    with my N95, or is it a Windows glitch?

    Hi ivanik,
    I strongly believe this is an issue with the card. Seeing that the phone works fine without it and works with a different card perfectly...
    Perhaps it is an issue with the data that your transfering to the card. It may not be compatible to the phone. Thus the phone lags and doesnt play the files.
    Try loading different data... perhaps one from a source...
    Try this once you have formatted your card...

  • N97 GPS Problems - Hardware or Software?

    Sorry to start yet another thread on the N97 GPS problems, but reading through all the threads there seems not to be any clear conclusion as to whether or not the issue is a software/firmware one, in which case potentially fixable, or a hardware one, in which case the phones have to be sent back and replaced.
    My personally feeling is that it's hardware.  Some people have no issue but many have a problem.   I have the same issues with losing the satellites, poor GPS accuracy, etc. both with Ovi Maps 3.01 and with Google Maps, which again to me points to a hardware fault.  Updating firmware from v10 to v11 made no difference to GPS performance.
    So, I wonder if people agree with me that it is a hardware issue and the phones have to go back, or if there is some hope of it being a software issue and thus being fixed?
    Anyone had any success in sending back an N97 for replacement because if the GPS issue? Mine is a UK 3 branded N97 black, free as part of a contract, and I have a feeling that 3 are likely to resist replacing the phone if they can.
    Mark

      I believe that the GPS problem in N97 not a hardware problem but a software problem with the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.
    Below explanation why:
    I have been using Nokia Maps 2.0 on my previous phone – E71 for more than one year. It worked pretty well and stable. One important remark – it is important to configure the server for AGPS under Settings well...
    About one and half month ago I decided to install on my E71 the newest Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.0. And ... immediately my problems started. The GPS performance worsened – I was continuously getting messages about GPS lost, recalculating and usually concluding that I am on a parallel road to the road which I was actually driving – horrible...
    Also my colleague with N82 made the same mistake (installed Maps 3.0) and got the same problems.
    Because of this problems I have removed this new version on my E71 and went back to Nokia Maps 2.0. And guess what? - The problems were gone!
    Two weeks ago I bought my N97. It comes only with Maps 3.1 so I was expecting problems. And ... indeed I have them all. Bad thing is however that I cannot go back to Maps 2.0 on N97...
    I tested GPS accuracy with three different phones (N97, E71, E75) and two versions of Nokia Maps. What I can see is that its normal to be about 80-100 meters on average. This is not a specific N97 issue! And apparently should not be a problem because Nokia Maps 2.0 works great even if this application shows accuracy of 100 m. Probably thanks to the Assisted GPS.
    So my conclusion is that it is not a hardware problem but a problem with (a part of) the software of the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.x ! Maybe with a GPS Driver? Or the functionality of the assisted GPS?

  • Constant GPS problems

    Hello,
    I am having problems with gps on my phone. I am on my first replacement from Verizon and am having the same issues as the original. 
    I will eventually get a lock, but will get a notification saying GPS signal lost in the middle of navigating with Google Maps. I have also noticed that it has trouble figuring out which way I am heading. Lets say my google maps has me going north, my arrow might be going north but it pointed West. Seems all screwed up.
    Read somewhere that Verizon got a bad first batch of phones in regards to the gps chip,  anyone know if that's true?

    Thanks for attempting the hard reset to resolve your issues takesone1221. Let's try safe mode because there may be an app on your device that could be causing issues with the GPS. I recommend enabling the safe mode and adding each application one at a time to test each application for GPS problems. Here are the steps http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87334/ . Please keep us posted. Once you're done, you can disable the Safe mode function.
    I also would like to apologize about the previous message that was incomplete.

  • 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

  • When will Verizon have a fix for the LG G2 GPS Problems?

    I am on my 3rd LG G2 and all of them have had the same GPS problem. No one can help me, went to a Verizon store and they advised that I would have to speak with Verizon on the phone. but I did after 2 replacement phones have been sent out to me. I went back to the store and they advised that Verizon is suppose to send me a different model or what ever the upgrade to that phone is. Where is the disconnect? I just need a Phone that works! Now I sent my phone off to LG this is crazy. I have not had to phone a year and I travel for business 2 to 3 times a week and need my phones GPS to work. Please Help

    I read the entire thread, and you didn't mention that you had done all these things. Please understand, at least I'm trying to help you. I understand you are frustrated. I'm an end user like you.
    I've had a few Android phones over the years, and if this is the behavior even after you've done what I've suggested, then it seems as though you have a HW problem. The GPS in my LG G2 works very very very well, so it seems like you got another bad one. From your post, you imply this is something you've also experienced on 2 other LG G2s. Wow - that's horrible.
    It's appropriate to take it up with LG then.

  • N95 GPS CONNECTION PROBLEM

    I've just got my N95 & have been checking out the GPS function. I can't seem to get any satellites to connect to the phone. When I tried it at home, the phone was connected to the net via my wifi connection. Does the N95 need to connect via GPRS / WAP / HSDPA etc or should it find the satellites without needing a connection to the above.
    Thanks

    Hi clemo71
    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 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 disappeears once signal acquired.
