Nokia 800 GPS not working

Hello all. I have a NOKIA 800 with the latest updates (Windows 7.8) that has problems with the GPS. It was all working fine until about three weeks ago. I had the handset replaced under warranty (through Vodafone) as it looked like a hardware problem but the same problem exists in the new one. Nokia Drive can't get a proper fix of where I am so the directions don't work. I then tried Navigon Europe and this can't find a GPS signal either although if I go into 'GPS info' it does show coordinates and I've also left it outside in line of the open sky for an hour to see if it could get a fix that way (without success). As I say, it all worked fine a few weeks ago so I'm a bit stumped as to what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas ?

omg.. thank you.. i thought im the only one who face the same problem..
nokia~ please fix this problem fast. i really need gps funtions~

Nokia E71 & GPS Not Working

Dear All,
I have purchsed two E71s; one for my wife & one for myself.
I loaded Nokia Maps & could not get the GPS to connect to my position.
I went to the Nokia Store in Regent STreet London & they stated that it could take up to 30 minutes initially to find a signal.
A week later I am in the same situation.
I have reset the phone to factory settings & reloaded the maps & still nothing.
Is this a fault on the phone, if so I will return the device & notify you guys if faulty.
In the meantime, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not working with E75 either. It just keeps telling me GPS signals are weak indoors (or whatever) and I'm standing outside - on a damn airport..!!! What on earth could be wrong this time with this Nokia..?
I'm not familiar with the E75, but do you have Assisted GPS turned on? If not, it can take quite a long time to find the satellites if you've significantly changed your location since the last time you used the GPS function - sometimes up to half an hour. With Assisted GPS switched on it should only take a couple of minutes.
Large buildings, high mountains and other obstacles can interfere with getting a GPS lock, and can be quite a problem depending on exactly what angles the satellites are to your position. Electronic interference from radar could also be a factor at airports.

Nokia C7 GPS not working after belle update!

Hi everyone, i had a C7, working great till i updated it with symbian belle.
okay here is what i did.
-my GPS was working on symbian anna with maps version 3.06beta
-i updated the phone to symbian belle from symbian anna.
-installed nokia maps 3.06 beta, and replaced the one that came with the update because it had the option of route planning which the installed map did not.
-this was the first time i checked to see if the GPS was working after the update, and it did not work even after i stood in an open field for half an hour.
-i learned that the latest update of nokia maps in fact had route planning, so i used the nokia PC suite to reset the phone software, and then later updated everything that was listed in the software update app.
-my GPS could still not work after i stood in the same damn field for another half an hour.
-now it will just give approximate positions based on the wireless networks, and not give any accurate position, so i cant use it for navigation anymore.
-i tried running the gpsinfoqt app, and it keeps saying searching for a signal, but it never finds one!
Please help me!! if there is any way i could flash the C7 or run a diagnostic or something so atleast i figure what is wrong!

Hi akkudub,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
Have you used Nokia Suite for the update?
I advise you to follow the steps below in order to get your GPS fully working again:
1) Uninstall the current version of Nokia Suite that you have.
2) Clean the registry with a registry cleaner.
3) On your PC, go to Start > Run and type %temp% and click on "Run". Delete all Nokia folders from the folder that opens.
4) Download the newest Beta version of Nokia Suite from this link:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-beta
You will need to sign in to your Nokia account - the same credentials used to log into this forum.
We will appreciate your feedback once you have tried this program!
Once Nokia Suite is installed, please connect your device to it and perform the available updates if any is available. Alternatively please reinstall the current software. Also, click on the Maps tab and download the relevant maps files (Europe, UK etc...)
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Lumia 800 GPS not working

Have tried unsuccesfully since February to get the GPS to work in Nokia drive. Was hoping the new update would fix it. Have updated the new software, updated to Nokia Drive 2.0 and done a factory reset - still have the same result sometimes get a fix and then it says GPS lost and counts the time since signal lost. Diagnostic feature does not include a GPS test.
Have downloaded many GPS programs, always the same - 1 fix and then no further running fixes to give speed etc
Anyway of clearing this problem.

Could certainly be a faulty GPS Antenna, however the initial lock for gps can often take a while, depending on location and surrounding terrain. Just try standing in an open space for up to 20 minutes to get a good lock, once phone has all data stored from satellites, the next time you use it , you should find it locks on quickly. If this doesn't work then I suggest using your warranty and get the handset repaired at a Nokia Care Point.
Good Luck

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

My nokia store is not working

my nokia store is not working

Assuming you have a Symbian device you can download the Store QML Client from HERE. Just log in with your Nokia account credentials, download the installer and transfer it to your phone. Then just tap on the file to initiate the installation wizard.
This will replace the Store Client that is on your phone and also installs the correct QT dependancies.

Nokia n95 maps licence problem and gps not working

and when i use pc suite to downlad maps like before it don't work it send me to lumia here maps that it dont on my n95 8gb because nokia abandoned the best symbian and used the bad lumia, so they delete symbian so users change to lumia, and i say no
help me get maps back and preload maps without internet
i formated my phone manytimes and i used nokia software update and still no solution for me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Now, you have old cities/qf on your phone because you started with Maps 2.0 which used incompatible map data. Please, on your phone delete the folder cities and the file qf. These are in the at the start (root directory) of your storage. Then on your phone, open Maps and browse a bit around. That re-creates cities/qf. Now try the Nokia Suite again. Does it show the countries? Good. Now it should work. If not, please, report.

I had the previous PC Suite.
Now that webpage make sense. The button in the PC Suite links to the Nokia Map Loader. Anyway, nowadays one should use the Map Loader of the Nokia Suite because it supports very large maps.

GPS not working on Nokia C7 since Belle Update

GPS IS NOT WORKING SINCE NOKIA C7 IS UPDATED FROM ANNA TO BELLE.
ON ANNA IT WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE..
PLEASE GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION.

Hi matemale,
If you are using just Internal GPS, could be that the location information got wiped when you did the update. In this case give the device some time to get the location, this can take relatively long time (the first time), so little patience is needed.
If you are using AGPS and Network based navigation, then do the following actions and in between them test if the device works.
Make sure the internet is on in Maps > Options (3 lines) > Settings > General > Connection > Online. Also check that the network destination is correct.
Make a back up with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# = soft reset, no data lost.
You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
If it's still the same, type in *#7370# = hard reset, phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up.
Hope you get the navigation working again!

ok, so i got my n97 back a few days ago, turned out the place wasn't actually a nokia data centre they just hadn't changed the sign outside yet, but they still fix nokia's. gave it to them and got it back and still no working gps!
now im stuck with a €500 n97 that has no gps on it, which was one of the big selling points for me. going to wait for v2.0 firmware before i go any further with it.
So they didn't have the new parts. It seems that some places have them already and some don't. Fw20 will improve the gps a little bit but probably not so much (? People who have tested it say so) but the big fix are the new parts.

GPS Not working for E72

My GPS is not working for E72. I can get my position but I think that is because of A-GPS enabled.
I talked to customer care and they are saying "you must be in open space, no tall buildings etc" which is not practical.
I tried for hours, it always says "waiting for GPS" but never gets any thing.
It used to work earlier but then there was p problem [ no breathing light ] and I had to take it to serivce center, after that it never worked.
My E72 software version date is 031.023
custom version 031.023.c00.01
ovi maps v3.04
Please help!

N8 integrated GPS not working ANNA

Hi,
Integrated GPS is not working on my New N8 with anna. I tried Hard rest and even Google maps. OVI works with A-gps but position is highly inaccurate. I can see a notification which says GPS available but no satellites are locked. Confirmed this with Google maps. Is this a hardware issue?

Sounds like a dud antenna but...
If it was working before Anna then check your Positioning Settings under Settings/Application Settings/Positioning especially check that the Positioning server is set to supl.nokia.com
Have you tried the Battery Out Reset (Power off the hold power button for about 8 seconds until you feel three vibrations)
Try re-installing Anna using Ovi Suite or Nokia Software Updater.
Note: if your in an area with no Internet connection it may take 20 minutes or more to get an initial fix and it's best to be stationary while its doing it.
Good Luck.

Nokia 5800XM Homescreen not Working!!!

I have recently updated my Nokia 5800 XM as follows:
Software version:
V31.0.101
Software version date:
16-09-2009
Custom version:
31.0.101.001.01
Custom version date:
16-09-2009
Language set:
11
Model:
5800 XpressMusic
Type:
RM-356
Latest update:
11/11/2009
After the update the phone was working fine for almost a week, the problem appeared when the battery went out and the phone subsequently turned off, when I plugged it to charge,I have got only the Nokia Logo white screen and the phone did not boot to the homescreen! After several trials of removing the battery which did not work, I tried removing the Memory Card which worked out but my problem now is that the Home screen shortcuts are not working as follows:
Dialler: Not working
Contacts: Not working
Calendar: Not working
Shortcuts: Not working, not appearing
Green button: Not working (does not get the dialler)
The tooltip that shows when I keep pressing on each of the above items does not read what it is (it seems it is missing the name and shortcut of the program running it). Only the Time and date, alerts links are working.
Also another note is that the dialler and contacts are working only whenI go to the Menu by clicking the green button or selecting the contacts.
Conclusion: it seems to me that the problem is only in the Home screen, also another note is that after the software update I am noticing that the battery is going out faster than before with the normal use of the phone, nothing intensive e.g. WiFi or bluetooth or GPS.
What I have done trying to resolve this issue unsuccessfully:
1- Restore Factory settings.
2- Format the Memory Card
I hope there is a solution for this! Also I would appreciate to know if there is a software that allows to re-install older versions of firmwares.

do a hard reset for the phone the memory card
(((dont forget to backup all your things on the computer)))
i had the same problem and fixed it by a hard reset for the phone
and then a soft reset
and a hard reset for the memory card((using my computer))
and then a soft reset in the phone
this solved the problem for me

Lumia 800 touch not working and battery question m...

I have been quite happy with my two months old Lumia 800 until recently when I accidentally dropped it on cobblestone and damaged the glass. Although the phone still worked I ordered a new combined glass, digitizer and screen from an internet supplier. The spare part was OEM and it was relatively painless to replace the old screen with the new screen. However, after replacing the screen, touch did not work and a question mark appeared over the battery icon. I searched the forum and other places on the internet and found out that this type of issue had been seen before and that it in some cases could be fixed by an upgrade of the firmware and a hard reset.
Now a few frustrated days later I am starting to think that possibly the replacement part is faulty as I have tried various firmwares, various ways to charge the battery with various types of USB chargers, but still no success. The phone simply won't respond to touch. Currently I am on firmware 1750.805.8773.12220.
Would any of you in the forum have any ideas what could possibly be wrong? Could it be a broken cable to the screen? I had similar issues with an iPhone 3GS which turned out to have a dodgy ribbon cable connecting the phone and the digitizer, but I cannot seem to find anything on the net mentioning this as a potential problem and I am wondering just how likely it is that the part is faulty, when the screen works fine and only the touch functionality is not working.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. It is very difficult to get in touch with Nokia in Denmark as their support phone is not working and the websites chat functionality seems to be off line all the time.
Best regards,
Anders

You shouldn't have used the phone at all after it dropped in Water.
Only Nokia Care can assess the extent of damage and tell you the repair cost. First, they should accept the device for repairs..and Second, this is certainly not covered under Warranty ..
Even if the phone is repaired with replacing a few components, not sure about the effect of the seepage on other parts which may start acting in a short span ...
