Nokia 6110 and GPS function

I am new to the concept of GPS, and i assumed when i bought this phone that using the GPS was as simple as turning it on and requesting the location you want.
How do I get the GPS to work? I go into the GPS menu and it starts "Getting position...", but i wait and nothing happens. It can never find my position. And I live in Sydney, so it cant be bad reception. Are there any settings I need to instal or download?
Also, what is the Route 66 CD for? I tried to use that and it couldnt detect my phone?

first of all, lets begin with the basics. GPS is a signal that is send by many satellites to locate you. so if you are in a building, you will probably not get any satellite signal. so go outside and wait a few minutes. usually satellites send their position-signal each 30seconds to a few minutes, and your mobile phone has to calculate its place after it got those signals. the update about your position is then easier, it doesnt take 30 seconds to update your position, but it is contionuously.
sometimes it may be possible, that you got problems in cities with huge skyscrapers, that you dont get a signal or just sometimes in those places. that is normal (also no fault of the nokia 6110 navigator). the satellite signals simply dont get through the skyscrapers (you need a last 3 satellites with a good signal to get your GPS working).
the nokia 6110 navigator therefore got A-GPS (that you can also disable). Advantages: the location of yor place is easier and much faster as it gets the information at the beginning from the mobile phone antennas. however it needs therefore a short GPRS-connection (about 5 kb transfer), that might cost depending on your mobile phone provider.
so if you want to try that, enable it in your mobile phone settings (read the manual therefore, network based location method!), and enable it in nokia navigator-program. or disable it in both.
second, about your other problem. route 66 sync software detects your mobile phone, if you use the nokia usb cable provided with the mobile phone (even if other cables also fit, it doesnt work). also you have to install nokia pc suite and isntall the needed usb drivers. and last of all, you have to set your mobile phone to data transfer mode, and not to pc sync mode, to connect it in route 66 sync software!

Nokia 6110 and downloading log data to PC

I want to access the phones log data from my PC. eg Menu-
>Log->Recent Calls->Dialled Numbers.
However I cannot work out how to do this using the Nokia PC Suite.
My carrier does not provide me with real time info about how much credit I have used each month. If I had access to this information then I would be able to calculate it.
Anyone got any ideas?
Regards

Hey there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
Next time, make sure to try and backup your library somewhere where you will know it will be safe. Hope this helps.
Also, remember to authorize your new computer.

AT305 and GPS function

Ok...so no JB planned or announced from Toshiba. Now I tried to use the GPS in the car and error says "needs data connection". My Nexus7 did not do that. I thought this thing has GPS HW built in. Read somewhere that I need to download maps into it...OKKK..then what? how will it know where the heck I am. This is not looking good unfortunately. I love the size and feel of this tablet and want to keep it.
(+) size, weigth, screen, slots, SD up to 128G, speed, functionalities...
(-) power connection, cord, GPS?, slippery backcover
Beats iPad hands-over-feet for me.

The issue you are having is not a lack of GPS in the AT305. (Assuming you haven't turned off the GPS.) It's that the map data necessary to show where the GPS fix would be on a map has to get into the thing somehow.
See http://www.androidcentral.com/google-maps-updated-offline-caching for some more information about how you can cache the map data when you are online for use when you are offline.

Nokia 5800 and GPS and standby

How do you prevent the 5800 phone going into to standby while using the GPS maps?
While driving it a pain to constently bring out of standby - not worryed about going flat as it is on charge ... Help where are the settings?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, I should have been clearer when i said in your maps application...
I didn't mean the main menu's settings, I meant when you launch the maps application itself, there are settings IN the application.
Please go to Maps > Options > Tools > Settings > Navigation > Backlight...
Hope that clears it up for you.

Nokia 6301 and Nokia LD-3W Wireless GPS Module

Hi all!
I have the Nokia 6301.
From what I read on this page (http://www.nokia.ca/A4488459), the Nokia 6301 supports the Nokia LD-3W GPS Module. Correct me if I'm wrong but the phone doesn't supports the Nokia Maps.
What would be the best application for using the GPS module with this phone? I'd like an application that already includes the maps and don't required much "air time". ;-)
Regards,
Jean

Hi kaad
The LD-3W is a SIRF Star III chipset so TTFF=Time to First Fix will always be a lot more rapid, certainly if you are not going to utilize A-GPS feature in v12.0.013
I first used one with Route66 on a N70 and was very handy as it used same battery as N70. If you are using TomTom6 with it on a N80 you get a battery indication of power remaining in LD-3W in application screen. It is expensive but more resistant to dropping than quite a few of the cheaper receivers.
There is an option in Nokia Maps settings on N95 to use "external GPS" which needs to be enabled.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Nokia 6110 Navigator 5.11 Buglist

Nokia, after a year of no support for the Nokia 6110 Navigator despite many bugs, please readd firmware-update-support in Nokia software updater, and fix those bugs remaining in the firmware 5.11 installed by most Nokia service centers since July 2008:
1- when alarm is set to workdays "monday-to-friday" (or whatever 5 day-period) the date on the phone doesn't change on saturday night. On sundays it still shows saturday although the time is correct, and the alarm doesn't work till the date is reset and then everything goes normal till the next sunday when the problem happens again.
2- No matter if you use the original Nokia Sound recorder or third party software, all the recordings have a loud crack sound in the beginning.
3-Volume +/- does not function while playing games.
4- Dual line 32kb sim cards fail to switch to the second line and resets the phone when switched to the second line.
5-Line 1 ringtone and Line 2 ringtone options in profiles disappear for no reason although using a dual line.
6-Deleted numbers in Logs->Recent Calls-> missed/received/dialled logs still remain in the log list view which shows coloured arrows.
7-Even if the sent message history is turned off, the numbers which were sent messages are still shown in the log list shown with arrows.
8- Numbers dialed/received calls list occasionally clears if phone turned off
9- If the phone gets connected to computer over usb cable, and used once on pc suite mode and then once in the data transfer mode, then the vibration is disabled until you reboot the phone. (Settings suggest the vibration is on, but in fact it is simply turned off)
10- On the internet bookmarks view, (accessed through the web icon) if a bookmark is deleted or moved to a different folder they are still shown in the root until the application is closed and re-opened. And if tried to open them by mistake the phone responds "it doesn' exist".
11- If you conect the phone to Nokia software updater by usb cable in pc sync mode, then connect it by data-transfer-mode, all your own created folders including moved icons will be lost and reset to default.
12-It's not possible to use voice dial with voice synthesis turned on.
13- No flash lite 3.0 support
14- If a memo is set or synchronised from outlook the memo still shows on the screen even if the date has been passed.
15- If we try to change the date of a past memo by changing both the start and end date to a future date the phone gives an odd error message that says: "Alarm time already passed" What alarm time? There's no alarm option or alarm time field in memos.
16- The phone occasionally shuts down completely (turns itself off) without any warning for some users.
17- Nokia CK 7W bluetooth carkit and other carkits from other companies (for example Funkwerk-Dabendorf Audio2000 with Bluetooth Adapter version 2) have an echo problem where the remote person hears its own voice and a terrible echo. This seems to be due to the fact, that inbuild microphone on the phone is not turned of completely.
18- While entering a new phone number after typing the number a phone type is selected such as telephone, mobile, work mobile etc.If selected the wrong type there is no way to change tis type unless the number is deleted and re-entered which is a hassle.
19- If there are more than one mobile numbers assigned for a contact as "mobile" type (like mentioned above) set default option does not work.
20- The bluetooth A2DP quality has gone worse. It is skip-happy, and degrading of audio quality is very obvious.
21- If any mp3s have embedded images in the id3 tag, which are not quite square (e.g. 194pxls by 197pxls in one of my files), the music will play, but the phone will almost totally lock up if you try to use another application, and the album art won't show at all.
22- Notes in the organiser on the phone cannot be synchronised with the PC via Nokia PC Suite(Outlook 2003).
23- Music Player on the phone finds "zero" audio files when connected to Nokia Suite via USB.
24- If a call is made while connected to a bluetooth carkit (CK 7W in my case) the latest number dialed won't appear in the logs.
25- When navigating in the standard "Nokia Navigator" Route66 application, if the display mode with all info at the bottom (the only mode that display ETA) is set the phone normally remembers this mode between sessions. When signal is lost (typically after a tunnel), the display mode is reset back to default. Please add the newest Route66 updates! As easy as that! Route66 already released 3 new official updates during this time.
26- If an internet connection is established via the browser and closed, the internet connection stays on constantly until the battery is very hot and voltage is drained only if the e-mail update (push e-mail) is set to "ON".
27-The streaming mode is problematic. An H.264 video encoded in 320x240 resolution could be watched full screen in the streaming mode in the previous firmware however the phone will freeze within 1 or 2 seconds after switching from the standard window size to full screen size after 4.22 if watched during streaming.
28- Real Player(Or music player) doesn't update the playlist unless the phone is not restarted.
29- For some of the users some videos start with the first frame and then shows a black screen for a while and then the video plays normally. (DivX Avi files?)
30- System startup dramatically slows up if using a HCSD memory card.
31- Sound cracks occur in high bit rate mp3's if using an HCSD memory card.
32- The flash provides such an artificial colour tone to the picture which makes the picture looks almost blue or green in all cases.
33- If a user decides to use an alternative navigation software he/she should be able to remap the dedicated navigator button to the executeable of the 3rd party software.
34- Sometimes Nokia Navigator-Program is unable to get a satfix, even if satellite-signal is good enough (3 satellites and more above 70% signal-strength). You have to restat the program to get a satfix. Also new Nokia Navigator/Route66-mobile8-version would fix this problem.
35- When you receive via bluetooth a file with an "unknown extension", there is no way to open the message that contains the attached file and, therefore, there is no way to save the file itself.
There are certainly more bugs, those ones are the ones found by a few customers, the most obvious ones, that keep us nagging since a year now. It seems, you are not testing your phones, as bug #1 (alarm-clock) for example is obvious and was not fixed since the release of the phone.

And I'd like to add these remaining ones from our other threads..
36- When listening to music on the handset and a call comes through, the sound switches to Mono after you hang up and the music resumes playing. And the only way to restore stereo sound is to restart the phone.
37-6110 keeps showing alot of devices in the "send to" bluetooth menu that was paired with and deleted long ago.
38-Joystick press can be used for accepting commands at all areas except for messaging. When message is ready to be sent you cannot click joystick and send message. You need to select options and send and then choose select from the menu.

Nokia 6110 Navigator - software update to be suppo...

Hello.
I have a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
Is the operating system to be supported by the software update system at any time soon?
Do any people knows when this phone will be commercially available?
Thanks!

Just one question for you guys, why do you prefer 6110 over N95?
N95 has a better camera, and it has WiFi as well. All at a considerably higher price (+ $300).
Apart from that, 6110 offers mostly the same features. The battery lasts longer, and the use of GPS is much faster. No extra costs for downloading of maps or subscription for the use of GPS.
Try to check out the difference between 6110 which uses Route 66 maps, and N95 which uses Nokia Maps.
I also highly recommend you to read phone reviews on the internet, e.g. by entering "Nokia N95"+review (or test) in a search engine.

Nokia 6110 Navigator - Search Landmarks

Hi,
I am really puzzled by this simple yet complex problem.
When I launch the "Landmark" application on it's own on my phone, I have about 20+ landmarks which I've stored there. On the same screen at the bottom, the cursor is in the search window. So what I do is to press say "M" and logically it should filter all my landmarks starting with "M". However, it always display no results.
Now comes the strange part. when I launch the Navigator system and I chose a landmark to navigate to, similar screen appears and pressing "M" will filter out all my landmarks starting with M... correctly.
Could someone help to confirm this is a software bug or am I doing something wrong here.
Thanks

I bought a Nokia 6110 Navigator a month ago. I was waiting for this phone for more than six month in South Africa. A sales rep in Vodacom told that there was software problem that was cause of the delay.
I upgraded all the feature of the phone using Nokia PC Suite. The phone has now the Software Version04.22. The new phone works well. I went through the guidebook tested everything is perfect.
When come to the Navigation segment, I have a small conflict. I tested Navigation by walking and driving to destination all worked well.
The problem I found when tries to use the ‘Landmark’ in the ‘Application’ section.
Most of the Landmarks are saved as GPS Position using the Navigation button. These saved positions are reflected inside the Navigation Option of Search (1) and in ‘My landmarks’. I do not have any problem by using the ’My landmarks’ to plan the trip or go to destination or see them in the map.
The same Landmarks are also routinely reflected in the ‘Application’ section of ‘Landmark’. By using, the option when I try to open the destinations or ‘show on Map’ or ‘show route’ the cursor always points the middle of the LCD screen and there is a Permanent Red Notice board Pin pointing the same position for all the landmarks.
Could somebody help me to fix the problem, or if it the software problem and return the phone to Vodacom to fix it.
Is that the similar to the software problem happened in U.K and results end by recalling 3000 phones by Nokia?
“A Vodafone technician revealed: “We received lots of calls about this complaint. Customers are telling us once a map of the UK and Ireland loads a padlock appears on the screen and the handset freezes. We’re now in the process of replacing the handsets”

New firmware Nokia 6110 Navigator version 6.01 soo...

Hello,
I have found on a few different nokia-related-pages that is a new firmware for nokia 6110 navigator (version 6.01). no information about bugfixes, nokia service centers seem to already have it. more to come.

Ok here comes the first news and bugfix list from 5.11 (and i add 4.22 infos) (i use the numbers from here: /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=40488&query.id=554906#M40488 )
a nokia service center did update my phone to version 6.01.
firs of all: seems to be a again just a mini-upfate as 5.11 was.
- Nokia 6110 Navigator gets firmware 6.01 (02-09-08)
- Nokia Navigator-Program is still version 8.0.12274 (11422) as it was in 5.11, no updates, no routing towards coordinates as in newer route66mobile8 available.
- New firmware seems to get better satellite-signal (not faster, but better signal and therefore more satellites that are actually used)
- No flash lite 3.0, still 2.0
- Maybe sound quality improved in carkit-mode for the one using the phone, was not yet able to try to talk with another person
- Battery bug fixed (as in 5.11)
now concearning the other bugs:
1- could not yet try that alarm-bug
2- fixed, i hear no sound-crack
3- not fixed, volume +/- still not activated in games
4- i have no dual-sim, can not try this
5- idem
6- not fixed, deleted numbers still in protocol
7- didnt try yet
8- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
9- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
10- could not reproduce the problem
11- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
12- didnt try yet
13- flash lite 3.0 missing
14- didnt try yet
15- fixed
16- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
17- in funkwerdabendorf-carkit with bluetooth soundquality seems to be improved, but didnt yet talk with someone else on phone
18- not fixed
19- fixed
20- maybe improved now
21- didnt try yet
22- didnt try yet
23- not fixed, but might be due to the fact, that pc suite has full access during that time to the memroy, therefore musicplayer not
24- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
25- not fixed, old nokia navigator-oem/route66mobile8
26- fixed
27- no changes
28- didnt try yet
29- didnt notice that
30- no change, still rather slow
31- not yet noticed, maybe fixed
32- not fixed, flash still very greenish/blue
33- no change, button still linked to nokia navigator
34- not yet noticed, but due to the fact that it is the same version as in 5.11 and i have had the problem there too, the problem might still be there
35- didnt try yet
so here we go. you might find out too, what they fixed and what they havent fixed yet.

Nokia Map and Drive+ Beta on Lumina 920 Feedback

So I took my new phone down to MD/DC area in the last few days and here are a few things that I would like to post as my feedback on what would be nice to have, fixes, etc. [I used both my new Lumia 920 and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as comparsion).
1. Highest priority for me is that the routes from Here.net need to be able to sync down to the phone. Nothing more is more important then this because when you have a custom route that you want to use (for example, to route around high traffic or potential high traffic areas).
2. Extremely disappointed that a new road in MD (MD 200) was not used by the Drive+ and didn't even show up on the map on my Lumia 920 while it was used and did show up on Google map. This road is a toll road and is over a year old already. [And yes, I have enabled toll road in the navigation as well as selected 'faster route' as the routing to use under smart routing]. I cannot stressed how disappointed I am to not see Nokia Map have this route at all.
3. Allow route changes on the Nokia Drive+ app. As good as pre-planned trip and using Here.net, there are just tmes that it's much better to allow us to change the route based on latest condition.
4. Never once did I see ANY traffic updates at all on both the Map and Drive+ Beta. When it does shows on my wife's Google's Map/Navigation.
5. I love that under Drive+, it tells you which lane to get into ahead of when you need to make a turn or merge onto another way. However, the flip side of that is that there's no way to know which road you're currently on. This is probably more important for when you're in an area with a lot of highway/local way intersections. Also, it would be great if it also will display the next major 'road' that you will be getting onto.
So far I'm happy with some of the functionality and disappointed in some of Nokia Map and Drive+ and I have about a week left to decide to either stay with WP9 and Nokia or do I want to switch back to Android and Google Map.

Nokia 6205 and PC Suite

I can get my phone to connect and be recognized by PC Suite but, it will not authenticate. Does anyone know if there is a solution for this? I contacted Nokia tech support and they said my service provider (Verizon) was not allowing this functonality. However, PC Suite worked fine on my previous Verizon Nokia phone and when I contacted Verizon - they said there was no reason it should not work. Verizon has not done anything to limit such functionality in the phone.

Have you tried another USB port in your PC ?
or
PC - desktop - my computer -right click with mouse - manage - device managre - see how th ephone is visible in list. If question marks etc. highlight- right click- uninstall
Boot PC and try again.
You should have the USB mode question popiing up in phone screen everytime you connect. Select dafault

Nokia E90 and Linux... how compatible are they?

I am hoping to soon upgrade my current mobile phone (Nokia 6822) and separate PDA (a Palm Tungsten T3) to a Nokia E90. However, I have reservations...
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience about how the Nokia E90 syncs with Linux Ubuntu? I know it doesn't come "out the box" with Linux support, unfortunately, but what about after-market solutions and work-arounds?
I don't mind if I sync through a USB cable or Bluetooth, as long as it works. (I really want to avoid running WINE or something similar though...)
Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated...!
(And the day Nokia issues Linux support I, for one, will be a happy bunny!)
Message Edited by prodromoi on 11-Jan-2008 02:30 PM

Before you get your E90 you MUST think about support , I got 2 BRAND NEW and I have been a NOKIA costumer for more than 10 years (yes , I own 2 communicators of each model ever built and A LOT of accessories and other models as well...) The paint job started peeling off in about 2 weeks , wrote NOT COMPLAINING but looking for any advise , they replied that there is no support for E90 in Taiwan... but they still working good and I decided to cover them with plastic skin , later on they released an "upgrade" that does NOTHING and I did not check asuming that NOKIA of course will do things always thinking in functionality... to make it short ... 2000USD turned into garbage ...
After the upgrade none of them would recognize the backups I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS LITERALLY JOBLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote to "costumer care" that really doesn't care and they tried to convince me that a hardware reset will fix it , of course using NOKIAs for more than 10 years I KNOW THIS BUT IT JUST DOESNT WORKED.
So finally they say that I had to ship my units to Finland for them to check...
THEY DID NOT NEED MY PHONES TO BE SHIPPED TO FINLAND TO BE SPOILED RIGHT?
THEY SPOILED ONLINE , SO SAME AS THE "UPGRADE" WAS SENT , I SEE NO REASON TO SEND THEM BECAUSE A BIT OF LOGIC THEY JUST NEED TO RELEASE THE DOWNGRADE ...
After the OS "Upgrade"
-Not recognizing backups
-Browser not working or poorly performing and phone OVERHEATS to the point of hurt your hand
-takes about 22 minutes to reboot
-A brand new NOKIA battery will last for about 4 hours if you don't use the device (20 minutes in use)
-It turns EXTREMELY SLOW
-Battery meter shows full everytime , but after reboot it shows empty.
So ... just for you to know and consider , I do not know the new communicator N** might be good but for now I just don't feel like risking my money on them , and due to this I am probably getting another two smartphones from a brand that AT LEAST CARE A BIT FOR THE COSTUMER.
Wrote this because someone said there is no UBUNTU support ... the truth is that there is no support at all.
Sorry to step on your excitement about the E90
You can have the one that I still have if you want.
