Navigation inaccuracy on N97 Mini

I used Maps 3 on my old N82 with no problem. Now I have an N97 Mini and I have a problem when navigating. The navigation follows the route accurately but marker on the map and the voice instructions are about 100 metres behind my actual position.  This is consistent over several journeys and is a problem during city driving when turns are close together. 
When I am not using navigation, Maps shows my position accurately, so the problem seems to be in navigation.
Does anyone have ideas what I could do? 

I have started having exactly the same issue starting yesterday. Ended up taking some wrong exits!! Any ideas??

    As the N97mini is an older model, its software development and maintenance cycle has ended a number of years ago. There will be no more firmware updates for this device, and every other Symbian device produced in the last few years.....as Symbian is now in maintenance mode and the focus is on the Asha line and the Windows Phone platform of which Lumia is part of.
    Nokia should have brought the same improvements to N97 mini which were included in the 41.x.xxx and 42.x.xxx software versions for the C6-00. After all, apart from the camera the C6-00 is the same device as the N97 mini, so it should have been fairly trivial. They are not major changes by no means, but useful.
    Unfortunately there is at least one major bug left even in the latest C6-00 firmware: http://www.developer.nokia.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153
    It also affects N97 mini with 30.0.004, but it appears Nokia is not going to fix it on either device.

  • Software Update for Nokia N97 Mini

    Hello, 
    I'm curious when will there be a new software update for Nokia N97 mini.
    The latest update was on June or July last year v30.0.004 
    Would be cool to update it, don't you agree? Almost a year now....

  • Street maps - can't add street maps n97 mini

    Hi , I recently downloaded the new ovi maps free navigation on my n97 mini and installed fine but now ii am stuck, it wont let me add the street maps, l have tried getting them via wi-if but  after checking for updates on the server for 5mins it says  could not find any or something along those line  and l have tried for day.
    Then l tried using the ovi suite but went l go to maps after it has asked me which memory l want to use and l chose phone memory 7gb free, then it say error has occurred please restart your laptop or re-install the PC suite and l have done all that and still says the same thing . Please help!!

    @Jesusislord
    Haven't got a Windows laptop around to try as primarily a Mac user, but if both WiFi and Ovi Suite methods won't work it's more likely to be your set up on N97Mini!
    You are ensuring that both Ovi Maps application upon N97 Mini and Ovi Suite have been set to look for either E:\ mass memory or F:\ memory card? For Ovi Maps on N97 Mini you have to exit application and start again for any changes to be recorded.

  • N97 Mini navigation stopped working

    I have N97 Mini (firmware 12.0.110.C01.01), and the navigation used to work very nicely, until recently.
    Funny thing is that it really gets the GPS lock. The voice guidance gives you the exact instructions where to turn and one of the screens work ok (the one, which shows the next action in symbols and writing). But the other screens are not updated. E.g. the speed indicator may freeze to some fixed value (today I was frightened when it showed 89 km/h in 50 km/h limit zone, while the voice guidance was still working, in reality it was below 50. It stayed 89 for as long as I was in the same screen).
    If I remember correctly, the background of the areas outside the map were black, when it worked. Now the background is grey.
    I have the Ovi -account active in the phone, internet APN is available and working. GPS gets the signal locked. But my location is not updated on the map.

    Your problems sound indicative of poor GPS reception. Have you considered an external bluetooth GPS receiver?
    Users should be aware that although it may still appear to function the use of "Bluetooth GPS' as a "Positioning method" is no longer officially supported by Nokia since OVI Maps v3.03

  • N97 mini - blank/unresponsive home screen & nokia ...

    I have been having problems with my Nokia N97 mini.  It froze yesterday, and I removed and re-installed the battery to restart the phone.  When the phone came back on, the email widget had changed from Nokia email to the messaging email option (the one that you get under the messaging icon - it doesn't download in real time and rarely downloads the full message).
    It froze again and I had to re-start it again, and this time, the home screen went completely blank.  It either shows the little boxes for the various widgets (they're empty), or the screen is completely blank.  Occasionally the screensaver (slideshow of images) comes on.  The home screen is completely unresponsive, and the only way I can get the phone to function is by pressing the menu button and navigating from there.
    I have tried to re-load my nokia email so as to fix the email problem, but whenever I go to the "Email setup" or "Sett. Wizard/Email" options (under applications) the phone freezes.
    I should point out that my phone downloaded Nokia Messaging 10.2 today, and the update history section says that the update was successful, but I'm still having serious difficulties.
    I have tried restoring factory settings, but that didn't help.  I'm seriously considering trying a  hard reset of my phone but am unable to back up my information using Nokia Ovi Suite.
    Does anyone have any suggestions re how I can start enjoying my beautiful phone again?

    I would recommend trying the hard reset. If you can't backup using Ovi Suite you could trying either synching your phone with Ovi Suite or MS outlook or backing up to a memory card. Better still do all the above to be sure. 

  • N97 mini: a few questions (touchscreen, battery, k...

    Hi all,
    I have a few questions on the N97 mini I was hoping you guys could help me with:
    touchscreen and navigation arrows: if I choose to, can I avoid to use the touchscreen and resort to the arrows in the keyboard? For example, to navigate in a web page
    battery life: what's your experience so far?
    keyboard: I understand this is very subjective, but how are you finding it? I hate to type on touchscreens. Do you find it convenient or is it annoying to open the sliding keyboard every single time?
    I am considering moving from the E71 to the N97 mini, because an operator has a pretty good deal on it, and because I'd like a bigger keyboard and bigger screen, even though I understand this comes at the price of reduced battery life.

    I have N97 and fully drain it before the end of the day and so have a spare battery, this is not because the phone or battery are bad ! It's because I am constantly using it, I have apps running all the time, watch video every lunch time, browse the web whenever I get a spare 5 minutes, txt and e-mail and even make the occasional call !! Lol
    I have never used a phone as much as this one and was very 'anti touchscreen' before I got it, and only took the chance brcause of physical keypad, but I wouldn't go back, not saying E-series aren't good phones but 'fun factor' on a larger touch screen is massively more. Plus it will still do all the 'normal 'stuff fine. Give it a go

  • N97 mini cutting out

    N97 Mini cuts out when using GPS. Phone gets quite hot & has happened twice since the recent upgrade to Ovi maps. This happened once before the upgrade but never since I started using a genuine Nokia car charger. All software is up to date, charger & cradle genuine Nokia. Anyone else suffering this problem?

    All my phones get hot when using navigation, it's a very processor hungry application, also I've had crashing with N97, best to close all possible applications before using to leave maximum RAM whilst using the Navigation on the phone !

  • N97 Mini data sync - Ovi maps

    Having had to reset my N97 mini I no longer have the map sync profile for data connection. Does anyone know of a download link or could list the settings?
    Thanks in anticipation

    So did I. Have tried reinstall but still can't get past sign in. Maps doesn't seem to pick up either my account details or the server path but no error or failed log in is reported.
    FYI I posted the same thread on the navigation forum

  • N97 mini battery getting hot without any usage

    I have been using N97 mini since more than a year now. Till yesterday it was functioning OK but today after full recharge it battery got drained in 5 hours without any usage !! I noticed the phone is getting too hot without any usage. I recharged it againg and same thing happened again. I tried to switch if off for few hours and took out the battery from phone but it didn't help. I am using latest firmware. Did someone had similar issue ? How it got resolved ? Any other ideas ? Please help.

    It's unlikely the phone would heat up with 'nothing ' running, usually they get warm with processor hungry apps like Video, music player or Navigation running ! If you haven't installed anything new lately, that may be running in the background, try the demo version of RamBlow, it will show whatever is running on the phone and 'kill' everything if required. If nothing is running, try another battery, or visit a Nokia Care point .
    Good Luck

  • Questions on N97 Mini's GPS

    I was wondering if there was a dedicated GPS on the Nokia n97 mini?
    because i don't have an unlimited data plan and I was wondering if you could just use a GPS onboard instead of the aGPS
    and when I am connected to a wi-fi network, the GPS still won't lock on... any solutions to that? 

    load the required maps via nokia map loader and on ur n97 mini  settings>phone>app sett>positioning methods to and Integrated GPS (dnt select Bluetooth GPS Assisted GPS & Network based) and ur done but offcorse it depends on ur GPS fix (Ovi Maps 3.x is now giving free navigation) dnt forget to hit Kudos!

  • N97 Mini can no longer be found on iPhoto.

    hey, will some one kind enough to sort me out this ' dreadful problem , my N97 mini has been working fine with iPhoto, getting images/ videos off my phone, now when i plug it in, i click Mass storage and nothing on iPhoto changes, everything else works like finder, because the folders on the desktop, but i dont no what's happened, the only thing changed from other times is i have recently upgraded to snow leapard but i dont see how that could be the problem.  

    If you had iTunes set not to copy added recordings into its own library, then the files might be anywhere and justreferenced in iTunes. Only you could know where you put the originals, but if careful searching doesn't find them that suggests they've been deleted.
    If it did copy the files but you have deleted the library from your 'Music/iTunes' folder then the songs are gone. Again, if searching produces no results then the songs would appear to be missing from your computer.
    With no backups, and the songs deleted, they are lost. 'iTunes in the Cloud' might enable you to re-download songs you had purchased, but I doubt this works on Leopard, which your signature says you have.

  • Data recovery from N97 mini

    Hei all,
    I’m using Nokia N97 mini.
    Along with Phone memory and Mass memory, I inserted one 1GB memory card also.
    Yesterday, I was trying to copy some files in ‘mass storage’ mode via cable into that 1GB card. While copying, some files could not be copied and I got error message.
    So, I aborted the whole operation. From then, I couldn’t find my personal data from the Mass memory.
    Along with some system folders on the mass memory, I have one folder ‘My data’ in which I save all my data.
    I’m unable to see the ‘My data’ folder.
    It shows that ~2GB memory is being used on mass memory. If I check the size of all folders that i can see, its only 45MB.
    So, my folder is occupying space. But, i’m unable to see that.
    Please help me in recovering my data.
    -Babloo

    Download and install an app from www.ovi.com called y-browser and see if that allows you to see your folder.

  • How to install Python 2.0 on N97 mini?

    My Nokia N97 mini offers me to install Python for S60 2.0 . But the installation with  "Softwareaktualisierung"  fails .
    Unfortunately there's no information why the installation failed . Is there a log anywhere where I can get some more
    information?
    Or can I download Python 2.0 somewhere and install it manually?
    Note that I installed Python 1.9.7 manually on the phone - but the installations also fails after manually removing
    Python 1.9.7
    regards
    Bernd

    The later versions of Python have had issues installing. I'm using 1.4.5 without any problems.
