Nokia C7 with no GPS after Nokia Belle refresh (11...

Hi all,
Before install this last firmware, my C7 GPS was working perfectly. With Nokia maps 3.09, LeGPSData2 or GPSInfoQt.
The phone was updated through FOTA. Now, the GPS antenna doesn’t capture any signal, even after leaving the phone for a long time outside with a clear sky.
I tried to install again Nokia maps, installed nokia maps suite 2.0, updated to the latest Nokia PC suite and installed again the same firmware using an usb cable, but nothing could solve my problem.
Activating or deactivating the assisted GPS didn’t help.
When running the LeGPSData2 app, it keeps searching for a signal, but it never finds one. Even with A-GPS and mobile data on, small red bars appear, saying that have several (11) satellites in view, but it can’t fix even one.
There is any diagnostic tool I can run to check if this is a SW or HW problem?
Please help me!
*note; removed mention of software not publically available.

I seem to have developed this issue also. As a Nokia owner and 'fanboy' since about 1998 I'm most disappointed.
My GPS was last working definately in October as I used it to log participation at an event with Sports Tracker.
I know I applied an update since then (I believe I was on the original Belle in Oct, but I seem to remember applying an update since then which was probably the 'refresh').
Interestingly, if I have network on, the phone in Nokia or Google Maps will get a position, but will not connect to any satellites. Attached is screenshots showing results in Nokia Maps, Google Maps, LEGPSData2 AND Garmin XT. In LEGPSData2 and Garmin it appears that it can see some satellites as there are some shown, but it is not determinig a position for some reason.
Garmin and Sports Tracker will not get GPS data. Just says trying to connect to satellite.
Google appears to cycle between the following three statuses over and over in the top right with GPS enabled:
Initialising GPS...
Seeking GPS Satellites (0)...
GPS active (0)...
I've tried a reinstall with Nokia Suite and reset with *#7370#. Nothing seems to allow it to get a working connection. What more can I do? I wanted to try a downgrade, but believe this will brick the phone, and I don't want to do that and I don't want to have to replace my phone as I'm happy with my C7 and if it's going to cost me money, I may as well just go with a new phone which will likely not be another Nokia in that case.
It's most disappointing not to be able to use Sports Tracker and my Heart Rate Monitor that I invested in now that I have found the time to get back into cycling again...
Help appreciated.

  • Cannot pair Nokia E62 with Address Book

    I could not pair my Nokia E62 with Address Book after updating to 10.4.9 and decided, along with other reasons, to erase and install my OS. After all the updates were finished, I ended up with the same result. iSync recognizes my phone and works properly, however, Address Book will not pair no matter what I do. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Rybo

    It appears that Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.9 does not currently support receiving SMS messages through AddressBook, at least with the Nokia E62.

  • N86 problem with gps after firmware update

    J2ME-apps crashes or hangs with external gps after upgrade to firmware 30.009. This worked before the update.
    The phone is a N86 RM484 and external GPS is a Globalsat 359.
    The apps in question are GC LIve (http://live.geocaching.com/dl) and a homebrewn app.
    When using external gps I only have "external gps" activated in "positioning methods". When using internal gps all options EXCEPT external gps are activated.
    "OVI Maps", "Google maps" and "GPS status" all work fine with external GPS.
    I've tried to reset the phone with three different methods but none fixes the problem. Methods I've tried: *#7780#, *#7370# and the acrobatic 4-button combo.
    I'm all out of ideas, and hope someone has a solution. / Richard

    Hi again!
    I've used ovi suite to reinstall prior to a reset, and also after a reset. It makes no difference to the problem
    What would happen if I wiped the entire built in mass storage (E? There's lots of folders and files there that seems to be untouched regardless of reset method. Could it make things worse?
    Other ideas very welcome!
    I'm not at all interested in demo versions of games that come bundled with this phone and all private stuff is backed up.

  • Massive power drain after Belle Refresh update on ...

    Hello
    From being a minor annoyance the massive power drain from my N8 after Belle Refresh update is now a big problem!
    The battery does not even last a full day now
    No apps running - power save on, but to no avail.
    After advice from Nokia Support I've tried to reinstall Belle Refresh again from Nokia Suite, but it didn't make a difference.
    What else can be done? Is it possible to uninstall Belle Refresh completely?
    Some have suggested it is because of the weather widget. Any confirmation from Nokia on that issue?

    I have Belle refresh for over a month now and I keep running the weather widget permanently on first screen. Overall the power consumption is the same as before on Anna (I skipped the first Belle incarnation).
    The only particular thing here is that I flashed clean the full 111.40.1511 version for my phone language. All I can tell is that in the first days after flashing the power drain was significant, merely because of intense phone usage, part of various customizations or just by curiosity. Since then the power consumption has slowly came back to "normal" for my daily usage habits.
    Currently running widgets: clock, profile, weather, next coming event, BBC feed, WiFi, 3G, data usage counter, Nokia Battery Monitor, locations near me. Also Nokia Sleeping Screen is active. I gave up in using email widgets because I only use IMAP manual fetch mode and in this mode they are completely useless.

  • Any more update for Nokia N8 after belle refresh??...

    Hello guys...great work on your part for providing new updates for nokia n8.... Its really great on your part...now my phone is fantastic...
    Just wanted to know if Nokia is planning to release new updates for the N8, after Belle Refresh??
    If new updates are coming in the near future,please do let us know sir.
    From- Nokia N8 lover.

    @GEN82012, this is probably the wrong thread for enquiring on updates but...
    No you can't download directly from Nokia if the update hasn't been released for your product code.
    Updates are by Product Code, type *#0000# on the Call screen. For example mine is 059C7R0.
    These codes are country and operator specific.
    Be aware there is a difference between a "Vanilla" handset brought directly from Nokia and an "Unlocked" one.
    If a carrier "Unlocks" the handset it means you can use it on other networks but the Product Code will remain the original one and can't be changed.
    If the phone has been repaired at some stage it may have a non standard board in it as well and I think those can only be updated at Nokia Care.
    If you take the phone to Nokia Care with proof that it is legally unlocked they may be willing to load the local "Vanilla" variant for you.
    Note; mine has recently updated to  111.040.1511.
    N95 (RM159) V31.0.017, N8 (RM596) Belle 111.040.1511

  • N8 Belle refresh: Nokia Suite Backup has problems ...

    Since I installed the Belle refresh on my N8 the backup of Nokia Suite 3.5.34 has difficulties to safe Documents.
    Only after restarting the N8, the backup works.I assume some documents are locked. This was never a problem before.
    What are these documents and where are they located in the N8. I have not created any documents myself.

    Having sold my Lumia I bought 808 PureView, owned previously N8. In my view, Symbian Belle is a great system, much better than Windows Phone and you do not need to sacrifice your privacy as much as with WP. The only one thing I wish Nokia could improve, is the speed of reading emails, web browsing and installation of apps from Ovi Store. I do not know why it still so slow as 808 PureView has double fast processor clock compared to N8?
    And unfortunately 808 PureView still has a bug they introduced with Symbian Belle - bluetooth connection with some hands-free car devices do not work correctly, eg. with Bury CC9045 V04. You do not hear the first incoming call, need to drop it and wait for a second call.
    Apart from above, it is a great phone!

  • Nokia N8 Belle Refresh

    Here in New Zealand I upgraded my Nokia N8 to from Belle to  Belle Refresh today (Product Code 0598797 - Chinese).
    1) Nokia Suite was full of information about what the upgrade would do.
    2) Nokia Suite also told me what I could lose, and suggested that some Apps may be lost.
    3) The upgrade proceeded smoothly, well within the 30 minutes or so it suggested it may take, and restarted the phone.
    4) It came up with the default colours and default number of home screens, and in Chinese. A quick couple of taps to put it back into English, and then around ten minutes to re-instate my home screens, shortcuts, and widgets, and voila, an upgraded phone.
    5) It seems smoother, snappier in the Browser, and an improved set of features within the music player.
    6) the Space on C: has improved by around 28MB.
    Well done Nokia. This is so appreciated for a phone that had the first generation of Symbian ^3.
    I travel a lot with my business, and nowadays take just the N8, as I find it's camera sufficient for my needs. When I go somewhere exotic I take my HD VideoCam of course, and my SLR, but in general the N8 does what I want. Coming back home, it's simply plugin via HDMI and show my family the pics. On my Travel, the GPS, both Drive and Walk is a God-send, and very reliable.
    Having watched the saga of Nokia mishandle the Symbian "burning platform" intentions, by prematurely announcing it's death, and then killing off Meego just as it started to show some ability in at least shoring up the share price and retaining Nokia market share for another twelve months, I started to become doubtful about Nokia's ability to survive.
    I nearly bought a Pureview 808 but decided to wait, and being in the IT industry, I knew it would be crazy to go for a Win 7 Lumia product. Having seen the specs on the Lumia 920, I am confident that if I wait for a succesor to the Lumia 920, there might be a phone worth having.
    I love HDMI, I love the removable micro SD-Card, and I use both a lot. Any phone without these N8 features would be retro-grade!
    So Nokia, when you bring out a Lumia with all the hardware features you have taught me to love on my Symbian, then I will upgrade. But in the meantime, you did such a good job with the N8, and Nokia Belle, that I am confident it will last until you do bring out a phone that really is an upgrade.
    Kudos for Nokia Belle Refresh in the meantime - you have bought some brand loyalty for the Interim.

    Having sold my Lumia I bought 808 PureView, owned previously N8. In my view, Symbian Belle is a great system, much better than Windows Phone and you do not need to sacrifice your privacy as much as with WP.

    Hi 7absinth49,
    You mentioned that you already performed an update with the phone, have you tried doing a reset on the phone itself? If not yet, you can do this one, but make sure that you created first a back up for every files that you have on the phone.

    Hi all,
    I have updated my N8-00 from Nokia Belle to Nokia Belle Refresh via Nokia Suite and the file was 306MB in size and after the update I did not get Microsoft Apps but received Nokia Maps though I had Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 installed before the Nokia Belle Refresh update and also I did not get the Colorize IT application also and I heard that Social was also updated to version1.5.234 but mine is still at 1.5.216.
    Overall, my Nokia N8-00 has become more stable and performance in speed has increased with this update. I am from Kenya and received Nokia Belle Refresh shortly after Skyee announced that it is being rolled out on 27th August 2012.
    Can anyone from Nokia or who has installed Nokia Belle Refresh confirm if Social was updated to version 1.5.234 or is it still at version 1.5.216 and also if Microsoft Apps were included in the Nokia Belle Refresh update after installation via Nokia Suite. Here is the Official Changelog from Nokia.
    Thanks.
