N97 Photo GPS Issue

I've been taking a lot of photos recently using the N97 and have also installed Nokia Image Space. However, photos i've taken are miles out when reviewing the map on Flickr - literally miles out and bear no resemblace to the position the original photo was taken.
I also use both Nokia Maps and Google Maps - the GPS functions perfectly when using these two apps - I even used Nokia Maps to drive round Portugal.
Has anyone experienced similar issues when taking photos and found them to be out of position?
Regards

Hi, have not had this issue, but add location on Nokia communities app is quite accurate, so maybe its the fault of the app adding the location to the photos !
Good Luck

N97 Photo browser issues

Hi guys,
I have copied a load of photos to my N97. They are all neatly organised into folders. I copied these folders into the Images folder on the Mass Storage, and they now all appear in the Downloads section of the Photo Album.
But... they are all in there. There are no folders, just a thousand or so pictures which now take years to scroll through to find the one i want. Why is this? I've organised them into folders with no more than 100 pictures in each folder to make navigation easier. Why has it ignored these folders and simply lumped them all in together?
Thanks!

It's a bit of a pain but au97's advice is correct and to be fair it doesn't take that long, particularly as any folders you may install on the phone will tend to appear in 'groups anyway amongst all the photos in 'downloads'. Just select the tick, centre , bottom of screen, tap the photos you want to select and a tick appears on each one, then select options-add to album-new album-name it-OK
Do this to all the photo's you have and then when you open photos in future the home screen will have a section called albums, select the one you want to view and only they will appear.Once you've done this for the first time, the next time you add a group of pictures it will only take a couple of minutes to create a new album. Also I reccommend Nokia Photo Browser from Nokia Beta Labs or Ovi Store, it's really 'cool' and can also be set to view in folser order or date, well worth a try'
Good Luck

N97 Camera scratch and weak GPS issues

I visited Nokia Care Alexandria, Egypt to fix my N97 issues but they totally denied recieving any information about Camera scratch and GPS issues, and advised to send an email to Nokia main website
I have visited Nokia care after reading this article
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/10588_Getting_the_Service_Centre_low.php

Hi,
In Spain its kind of the same thing. In the official Nokia Line they wont admit the problems. I found a couple of Nokia Care Centers (which are contractors to Nokia), who will openly admit the problem and the official internal service bulletin. They have ordered some replacements for me.
For the GPS I got the shield sticker replaced with no success. After 2 weeks of use the GPS has degraded again...
Good Luck! This phone is **bleep**.

N86 GPS issues

Hi,
Posted this seperately from the N97 GPS issues but I'm having similar issues with my N86, namely speed regularly drops to 0, the route is repeatedly recalculated for no obvious reason, the map constantly rotates its orientation (just like being on a waltzer) and my location shifts off road by "some considerable margin" before settling down.
I've also noticed that I often can't get a GPS lock without switching the phone off and back on again after a few seconds. I always gets a fix within 5-10 seconds after a reboot.
I always have the e-mail client in the background but no other apps running.
Has anyone else, apart from the N97 owners (you know who you are) experienced these issues.
I'm running N86-1 on Orange with 10.086 with Maps v3.0.09wk18b01 and map version 0.1.22.103
Alun.
N8-00 (Product Code: 059C5Q8 (UK Generic)) FW Belle (111.030.0609.377.01)
Orange 5.1, NK702, 7110, 8310, 7250, 6230, N70, N95-1, N86 8MP, N8-00

I have the same problem, the phone is now on it's second trip for repair. I "upgraded" from a N82, with a working GPS.
When I compare my old N82 with the N86, I can se that the N86 drops all connection to the GPS satellites every second minute. (I use the built in program GPS data, looking at satellite data on both devices at the same time, my old N82 stays connected, but the N86 has to recalculate after it has lost the connection every second minute)
This is a real problem for me, I use Nokia Sportstracker to record all my training, and with the N86 I get some rather odd recordings, due to this constant recalculating of the current position. A training (verified) trip for 5 kilometers on N82 can be more than 6 km on N86. This of course gives me a good average speed, but I prefer to record the correct one...
I am now waiting for the return after the second repair period of 4 weeks, maybe they can fix it, otherwise I'll have to buy something that works.

GPS issue please help me please

Hi guys,
Well i know there are several forms for GPS issue but i cant find the right one for me...Please guys help me if u can.
I have N95 8 GB with GPS activated for Middle East Dubai....
Now the issue is this that before i was used to connect very quickly say about 10 minutes but right now i mean as of last couple of weeks its taking hell of time indeed not connecting at all...I place my mobile and my frnds mobile at same place but mine is not connecting at all...his mobile connects like in minute or so....please can u guys help me...my mobile is rarely used for 3 months...
Do i need to change some settings....If satellite is not available it sudnt connect to my frnds same mobile v20....but it connects to him not to mine....

First thing you do is to run GPS Data in connectivity and see if the phone achieves GPS lock any faster than now.
Secondly, run Nokia Maps, Goto Options>About and tell us the version you have. It should be accross the top of the screen.

Photo viewer issue in N8

when i opened the photo viewer to view photos, it takes more time to load (the loading symbol is rotating for more than minute).This was not the actual opening time before.If i try to exit the viewer, i couldn't,the display is switched off for a while,then i pressed menu key to minimise the application and closed it.
Also i locked the screen using the slider key.but i couldn't unlock the screen using slider key.
does anyone experience the same issue?

GPS issues on CDMA iPhone?

i'm getting pretty frustrated with the GPS issues with the CDMA iPhone.
i cannot maintain a consistent lock with GPS for more than a few minutes.
on Navigon: GPS looses every 4 minutes or so, and the speed indicator never shows a consistent speed, it'll show 60, 60, 0, 58, 58, 0, etc... then it will loose lock and take quite some time to get it back.
on GPS Drive (motion GPS): it will drive for a few more minutes, but then loose lock for minutes at a time.
on the GSM iPhone, i never had these problems.
anyone have any suggestions or fixes for the problem?

I feel your pain. I have the same issue with my CDMA iPhone and there have been numerous threads in regards to it and there has never been any acknowledgement from Apple that an issue even exists. Some people have noted that doing a hard reset of the phone, or restoring your phone from a backup have lessened the issue, but to my knowledge nobody has posted a guaranteed cure. One thing that I have noticed that if you're using bluetooth in your car, turn it completely off (under settings/general/bluetooth) as a test and then try your GPS apps again. The problem seemed to occur significantly less. Another noteworthy point is that the Maps app that comes with the phone doesn't seem to have this problem. Please comment back in regards to bluetooth and Maps with your results. Also for all it's worth, you can send feedback to Apple in regards to this. I did so, but never heard a response, but none the less that's the place to also post issues such as this. Here's the link...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
One think of interest is that it is an assisted GPS. It uses WIFI, cell towers, GPS and who knows what else to pinpoint your position. And there has been some privacy concerns (a little overblown if you ask me though) over the data collected by Apple to pinpoint your position. Apple has admitted to discovering bugs in iOS 4 in regards to this and has indicated that an update is forthcoming to address this. So maybe our problems are related. Keep your fingers crossed!

I need some help with my GPS issue

I'm writing to ask you if You could somehow help me solve my GPS issue. I own Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. I've recently updated it's software and installed the new OVI Maps. I know that there is an option to use it offline which means without an Internet connection. When I start the Maps application and choose the offline mode, the only thing that appears at the top of the screen is "Searching position". The map is available but my position can't be specified without Internet on. When I turn my wireless router on, even though my maps are set in offline mode, it automatically connects to the Internet and spends something like 5KB download. If I keep navigating it spends even more. I've left my mobile phone offline to search for my position for an about half an hour but nothing happened. So, my question is, could you tell me what to do and how to use OVI Maps offline?

Assuming you are useing Maps 3.06 from beta labs and the map data is the latest compatible maps installed through ovi suite, then all should work well provided you followed the installation instructions correctly. If you don't use assisted gps or any other method of positioning except integrated Gps then you need to be in an open space with clear view of the sky to allow the GPS antenna to get a lock, this can take 10 to 30 minutes (the first time you try for a lock, shouldn't take that long again) and once you have a lock the location should work fine. The reason the other methods are available is thet they speed up the whole process and also work when in built up areas where buildings can block thre satelite view from the gps antenna. The amount of data used to lock your position is minimal and unless you have zero data allowance I suggest using all the positioning methods. If using the navigation abroad, you can disable evrything and simply use integrated GPS as long as you've loaded the local map data to your phone previously.
Good Luck

CS5 HDR pro two photos alignment issue

Although I really enjoy the new tool, I'm having trouble aligning two photograph when I open then through the HDR pro tool.
Why is alignment of two photos so bad in HDR pro and perfect if you align the two same photos as two layers? I've even tried reopening the same files over and over and get different results each time in HDR pro.
In view of this, shouldn't there be a realign button in the slider adjustment screen, or options for alignment, such as Use the regular auto-align?
Since alignment works fine with layers, is it possible to have an option to use layers as a starting point for HDR pro instead of opening saved photos only? I realize this probably might not give perfect results as just fixing the automatic alignment issue...
But hey, I'm just trying to find a workflow around this if I didn't have my tripod with me at time of shoot... and I shot only two photos to composite.

Hi Chris,
thanks for looking into this matter. Where do you want me to send the files (over 50 megs zipped).. they're CR2 files...

Don't know what could be going wrong. Can we get the files so we can try to reproduce the problem here at Adobe?

GPS Issues with Ellipsis 7

I am getting inaccurate and sometimes slow to respond GPS issues with my Ellipsis 7. it seems that the refresh rate for the GPS is extremely slow so when i'm looking at the maps while driving the dot moves every 1-2 seconds as opposed to moving with me. even after doing several factory resets the issue still doesn't go away. It makes Ingress very frustrating when you keep jumping around unable to get a fix on a portal.
is anyone else having this or similar issues?
Also my tablet suffers from the 1GB App Space issue.
any resolutions on the above issue too?

clearly you are misinformed SarahO_VZW. according to the Important Note: Memory Management i dont have the latest software. Plus I already called into support and they sent me a box. I am really getting sick and tired of the lack of consistent knowledge btwn Support Reps. and this extends beyond just this Ellipsis 7 Device it also includes the Lumia Cyan Update that was supposed to be pushed to all Windows 8 Phones this year but hasn't. I get one answer from one technician and a completely contradictory answer from another agent.
I used to work for Verizon in TechSupport for Verizon FiOS. and we all had our facts straight as to what was what. but the Wireless Division is all screwed up.
My advise to you Sarah from one Tech Support Rep to another. Please read all responses in the forum and do more research before you answer a question and don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions of your superiors before answering.

Droid 3 GPS issues

Over the past month or so, the GPS on my Droid 3 has been acting funny. Examples: using Google Maps, it will sometimes not find the GPS signal (yes, I'm outside). In other times, like yesterday, it worked fine but about 35 minutes into the drive, the GPS signal was lost. I tried turnign the GPS on and off but I eventually had to re-start the phone. It happened again on the drive home. Using Foursquare, sometimes the GPs will not respond when I hit the "check-in" button. Yes the GPS is on.
Because the GPS works some of the time and after re-starting the phone, that it is likely a software issue. It seems othere have had this issue. Is there a solution?
Thanks

Hi FBrown,
I see how a failing GPS feature can be frustrating when relying on it to get to a specific place. By reading your post I see that this GPS failure can be attributed to a loss of data signal somewhere along your trip. Additionally, when checking in with the FourSquare application (or any similar application) GPS may fail particularly indoors as some structural properties may greatly impact wireless signal. The GPS behavior described in your post may be normal depending on location and wireless signal strength.
I checked my resources and I was not able to locate any similar issues reported. However, I would recommend running your Droid 3 in Safe Mode next time you use your Google Maps navigation application and/or your FourSquare application. Running your phone in Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is causing the GPS feature to fail.
If the GPS issue is resolved while in Safe Mode, you must identify the conflicting 3rd application and remove it. You may need to remove all 3rd applications and re-install one by one in order to identify the application causing the issue.

Did they bother to fix the GPS issues in new update 3.1.3?

Just wondering if they have bothered to fix the gps issues that countless people seen to have with the 3gs, me included. We shouldn't have to mess around putting phone into airplane mode, turning location settings on and off and resetting network settings to get googlemaps to pick up the bloody gps, only to then have it not work again as soon as you exit maps and having to repeat the process. With the amount of people suffering the same issues it leads me to believe the reason it hasn't been addressed is because apple don't know how to fix if. Although not documented as one of the fixes I was just wondering if it's performing any better. Any info is appreciated, cheers.

Here's what's reported... http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2010/02/02/apple-releases-iphone-313-iphone-ipod-to uch-devices/

N97 v21 IMAP Issues

First of all - anyone who is going to tell me to use the "Nokia Messaging" stop reading now - that program goes through Nokia servers and generally sucks all round.
I use the Email Component of the Default Messaging built into the phone, I've been struggling to figure out what happened to it since v20, but have only recently bothered to try and figure out what the issue was.
- I noticed my mail on my N97 would stop on a certain date (email date) and no longer retrieve messages past that certain date.
- That lead me to figure out that there was a bad message that was causing the mail app to basically disconnect from the server and not retrieve mail. When i say bad message - I mean one that the N97 cannot understand, all other mail clients work fine.
- I found this to be a particular mail, once deleted the IMAP client on the phone work fine again.
- I monitored the situation, and found that every few days an offending mail would come in - and deleting the mail in Outlook was always the solution.
- The POP3 client on the phone does not have this issue and processes all messages, POP is not going to work for me as I work out of one IMAP box - and that wont change to accommodate my **bleep** phone.
So in short, if i am out of the house and one of these mails comes in my mail on my phone stops working which sucks. I have looked at the headers of these offending mails and the content body and I cannot see anything that would lead me see why the N97 has an issue with them.
Also the phone when hooked up to the computer is a sure way to have the 'message store' revert back to C: from mass storage which is SUPER ANNOYING. I would rather just get an error message than having the change back 10x per day - and seeing my home screen widget display "set-up email" - i've done that a million times.
So in short mail for me is unusable much like everything else on this **bleep** called the N97.
I would like to see Nokia fix this issue - i believe it may have only appeared in v20 although i cannot be sure of that - could also be i just never noticed this. I think the scheduled email retrieval is broken too - I know this was working perfectly before.
It would be really nice to see Nokia fix this and add HTML support as well why they are at it - although I am not holding my breath, it is likely easier to go buy a new non-Nokia phone.
The N95 Mail client seems to work fine and can retrieve all messages from this same account, someone is working backwards, go figure.
I love my purple screen, 1/2 day battery, sketchy touch screen and $800 price tag - I call it my Lumia 900

Hey
Here's a business card I picked up at CTIA last fall at the Nokia booth. I spent a half hour going through with him all the things that bugged me abut my N97 email experience.
Kirk Stromberg - Senior Product Marketing Manager, Nokia Messaging. [email protected] Mountain View, California .
To give Kirk a little break I won't publish his mobile number here. I'm guessing he's responsible for the US market - but at least he's in the right organization.
I spent 5 or more hours over the weekend trying to deal with the limited configuration options of the new email set up wizard and now have 4 email accounts - Roadsync (after using MfE for 8 months), default messaging client for POP3, Nokia messaging for my IMAP4 personal account and my Yahoo account.
It all works, and works better than last June - but why oh why do I have to have 2 email clients to check 4 accounts, no push on my POP3 account because Nokia Messaging won't let me configure detailed server settings, no HTML email on the Exchange 2003 or POP3 accounts and the email widget will only show Exchange email on the home screen, not on the others. Nokia messaging sometimes takes a long time to push out emails, like an hour.
Because not all the clients support Destinations I am running Birdstep SmartConnect to handle moving in and out of WiFi (free and works fine on 5th ed even though not officially supported).
Now with v21 I am loving my N97 again, but all this is a good example of why Blackberry is king of email. Its taken months of experience followed by hours of research, downloading and configuration to get something that on a Blackberry just works out of the box.

N97 v.21.0.045 GPS issue

After updating to v.21.0.045 and hard reset , my device finds the GPS Satellite but with ZERO signal strength
before update, i was able to detect my position in 10 seconds or 20 at most
after update, i waited for 5 minnutes without a response
what can I do ?
-you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled
-if my answer was the solution , so click accept as solution button
Started From Nokia 3310 , Now with Nokia N97 v.22.0.110 + N900 PR1.2

Be aware that those are not the codes for the standard (most popular) UK models. The update for these two codes has been available for over a week.
They are for the "comes with music" version of the N97 that very few people have, in fact i've not seen it on sale anywhere on the high street yet.
Most people in the UK (with unbranded phones) either have the 0585162 (black UK CV), the 0587240 (white UK CV) or the 0587691 (CPW UK GB Black) codes.
What is more annoying is that this firmware is no different from the standard UK CV firmware.
Any UK users that are unhappy about this please post on this thread:
