Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
11.0.026
17-04-07
RM-159
Nokia N95(05.01)
When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

Nokia N95 GPS Navigation

Dear All,
I am James and recently bought a Nokia N95. It comes with GPS Navigation but not sure how it works. Looked in the user manual but still not idea of how to work it. I have played around with it and downloaded Google Maps but find it difficult to get a reception.
I want to know how to download maps onto it, what connection is needed and how it actually works?
Any ideas?
regards
James

Hi,
I'm just back from the US were i used the GPS a good bit. like most GPS's, Navigation on the N95 told me to turn right then left on on straight roads with intersections (watch out for this, always look at the map before turning as you'll see that the route line is straight on screen), sent me down bizarre side roads, never went the same route to a place as it did going back (very strange), but other that that was very handy.
The one major bug I'd like to report is in v20 of the firmware (can't say for others versions), despite disabling network communication in the settings, the phone would still startup my GPRS data pack connection while roaming. Even when I set it to use Wi-Fi, it still made a connection over GPRS. I work out it cost me about a €10 in unnecessary data charges. Easy test to see if you get the same problem: Startup Maps and say no to data usage, exit or Press Menu, Tools, Log. You should see that a Data pack connection was initiated at the same time you started the Maps App. The only way around this I found was to set the phone to offline mode. But you might as well buy a proper GPS if this is the only solution.
Good luck!
I had exactly the same problem. Once activated, network mode could not be turned off and it cost me around $50 in a day and a half.
As soon as I tried to shut it down in Maps>Options, it either shut down maps or rebooted my phone.
Keep network support off, is my recommendation.
To cure the problem, I had to reload my firmware and software...everything but settings. If you reload settings, you reload the problem.
I spend hours today doing just that. Settings are probably the least important part of my phone history so it wasn't too big of a deal and the effort was totally worth it to save me mega cash while using maps.

Nokia N95 8gb problems - freezing, fuzzy screen et...

Ok so been using the Nokia N95 8gb phone for about a week now and noticed that there is a tendency for the phone to freeze for up to 10 seconds like when opening other things such as Inbox etc. The problems mainly occur when the phone is slid shut, then when resliding the phone open the phone freezes or sometimes screen stays black until battery is taken out!
When the phone is slid shut sometimes the screen goes fuzzy in places aswell like a TV with no reception. The text and theme on the phone sometimes goes a dodgy colour aswell like a negative photo and sometimes even goes back to front and the wrong way round?? Anyone else had similar problems or knows what this is??

Its unlikely to have the same issue after doing a software upgrade, it could be some application on your memory card or the simcard .
You may try the steps below
- A soft reset by keying in *#7780# when on standby - This will not delete any data but will restore all the settings back to default.
If that does not help then you may wanna try doing a hard reset by keying in *#7370# when on standby - This will reformat the phone. DO NOT FORGET TO DO A BACK UP AS THIS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE PHONE MEMORY.
The security code by default is 12345
Also would be best to reformat your memory card and sim cards well as there might be some applications in there which is causing your phone to lag.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Nokia n95 8gb problem

HI i have a nokia n95 8gb and it enters in the gallery without me pressing any button.As soon as i unlock it it enters in the gallery.I can't even take a picture or enter the contacts because it kepps entering in the gallery at images and videoes.I tried updating the soft and resetting the phone but the problem persisted.What should i do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The only thing I could think of is that the Key that's next to the shutter key, the one that has what looks like a Play key is pressed in.
This key causes the Gallery to start and show the last picture taken. It may have malfunctioned.
You would need to take it to a service point or repair technician to take a look at it.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Hi Purravida,
You might want to delete the old maps and folders from your memory card - the location of the maps has changed. Nokia Map Loader 1.2.1 seems to be downloading the maps to the old directory system if it exists but your software on the phone will be looking at the new directory and will try to load the maps over the data connection.
I had to delete the hidden Private directory and all of its contents to get the Nokia Map Loader to recognise that there is a new directory structure on my memory card. It could have been something else, but that fixed my problem of the new Nokia Maps not finding the downloaded maps (and trying to download them over the data connection.) Be sure to make a backup that you don't delete anything you would need...
Cheers,

Nokia N95 USB Problem

I have a problem with my Nokia N95-1 considering the USB transfer to my Memory Card.
I have a 1GB Kingston MicroSD, the latest software (V 20.0.015, 13-11-07, RM-159, Balkans Pack, updated from V13); PC Suite v6.85.14.1 on Windows XP Professional.
While I was transfering some 300MB of music to the MicroSD, Explorer crashed and reported that data might have
been lost during the transfer. I checked my phone and noticed "ghost" files on the memory card (free memory was reduced by 300MB, but the phone couldn't register new files). I retransfered the files, disconnected the phone and started the Music Player.
Music Player said "Repairing corrupted database", hanged for a while and then added newly transfered files to the track list. But, when I tried to play a file, it refused to do it and said "Generalystem error". Phone became slow and impossible to operate, so I had to restart it. Same problem occured again, and similar things happened in File Explorer (shows nothing on the card), LCG Jukebox and LCG Xplore (get stucked when they access it or refuse to start files).
After this, I removed the MicroSD - after this, everything on my N95 returned to normal.
Since then, I've tried to change the USB Cable, USB Port, USB Transfer mode; tried to reformat my MicroSD many times with many formatting tools - Phone Memory Card Manager, Windows Formatter, KillDisk, Panasonic SDFormatter - but the result always remained the same: after I retransfer the files to the card, it becomes useless until I reformat it again.
These programs didn't register any corruptions, but Windows Formatter and Panasonic SDFormatter would sometimes report that they were unable to reformat the card.
I tried to insert the MicroSD into my MSI Mega538 MP3 player, reformat, and then transfer files to it. Again,
transfer itself worked okay, but when I inserted the card into my N95, same problem occured. I tried to transfer
some files to the Phone Memory via PC Suite - it worked great.
I tried to insert my friend's 1GB Kingston MicroSD into the phone. It registered it perfectly - Music Player has
refreshed the database, registered new files and played them without any problem. Same goes for the Gallery - some
400 images and videos were recognized right away, and the phone itself worked fast and stable.
When I bought my phone, I had no problems at all - files could be transfered normally, Music Player would simply
refresh the database, and I could use the files easily - no problems, system errors, system hangs or restarts. But after that Explorer crash, I simply can't use the memory card any more.
Sorry for long post, but I really need your help. Is the memory card corrupted, is it a hardware or software problem
with my N95, or is it a Windows glitch?

Hi ivanik,
I strongly believe this is an issue with the card. Seeing that the phone works fine without it and works with a different card perfectly...
Perhaps it is an issue with the data that your transfering to the card. It may not be compatible to the phone. Thus the phone lags and doesnt play the files.
Try loading different data... perhaps one from a source...
Try this once you have formatted your card...

Nokia N95 backlight problem...

My Nokia N95 backlight has stopped working recently for no reason at all. The phone turned itself off and when i tried to turn back on i had to remove the battery to do so. ever since then the backlight has not worked. Has anybody had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it..?? I have already tried re formatting and that didn't work etc.

Take it to a nokia care point because it has suffered a hardware failure. Failures like this usually happen after the phone has been dropped or bumped hard but it can just happen.

It isn't possible for you to roll back the firmware update. You could try asking your local Nokia Care Point if they will do it for you.
Have you tried the 3 finger hard reset?

Nokia N95 GPS

Hi people....I bought a brand new N95...and the first thing i did was GPS thing....
Here's the problem....i guess many of us have the same problem...
I'm running everything as i should...i got 4 Empty bars of satellites...i'm waiting for them to turn Black and full for 30 min...but no success...
I'm opening "Maps" and there's a red cross on the satellite...when i move the cursor it says gps positioning or smth like that...when i press it it goes to some city in germany i think....
So could someone PLEASE tell me how to make this thing work....because i want that most of all...and now it's getting me mad...
P.S.I downloaded all the maps required for my country Macedonia...When i'm looking for navigation on the streets it's ok...BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CURRENT LOCATION ?!?!?!I'm not in berlin for sure
Thanks in advance

I'm reffering to v20.0.015
The traffic lights of the sattelite keep moving n' stuff... and after a long time it stays still (ie gets connected..)
Some settings I have in the Positioning are..
Positioning Methods:
Not Selected - Bluetooth GPS
Selected - Assisted GPS
Integrated GPS
Network Based
Positioning Server:
Access Point - Must Be Defined

Nokia N95 GPS - 616 Car Kits

When i use the GPS on my N95 - if it connnectd to the car kit the voice navigation does not come on - i have to diconnect from the kit to use GPS properly. If i use the remote sim option it mute the radio at all times until i close the nagivation application. Any suggestions

Looks to be a problem with a lot of car kits... many don't do the bluetooth audio thing - tho they do phone calls fine (different profiles I guess...)
So when you pair the phone to the car you loose the Nav voice because the phone is trying to pass all things audio over the bluetooth link - even if the car doesn't know what to do with it..
Leaving you in the position where calls work fine but voice nav is lost...
It'd be nice if we could leave the nav using the phone speakers and the calls using the bluetooth car kit... it might be a bit of a compromise but at least it would keep us legal whilst driving and still allow the use of the maps.. after all where better to use a nav app than in a car???
Pity Nokia seemed to have missed this one....

Nokia 5800 GPS Problem

Hello,
i have an Nokia 5800, and i can´t use the gps with a satellite signal, only with the GPRS.
someone can helpme.
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi i was facing similar problem here in bangalore(India)
All you Need to Do is to stay in some open area(Outside your house or anywhere)
1.Open Maps
2.click on My location
and Keep the device searching for satellites (there are 6 of them) .
it would take at max 45 minutes
3.Be patient for 45minutes
4.Dont forget to load MAps for your country
5.Nokia GPS works without any need of Wifi or Telecom operator for
Nokia Maps
6.If you have google maps installed ,
GPS will work too ,but it will ask for WIfi connection or network operator to download maps
7.Nokia location application is awesome
you can see you speed,navigate and do lots of things
but google Maps is no less
[just it needs some connection to download maps from internet ]

Nokia 5230 Gps problem

Hello guys, I've brought my Nokia 5230 recently and I've soon discovered a problem with the gps function. The problem is every time I tried to see where I'm or the gps function it takes ages and it still can't detect any gps signal, I've been to many places, home, library, in my car moving through town and really it don't pick up any signals. Does it matter if I don't use internet at all? And are there settings that I have to follow? Thanks in advance.

Hi rexlee123
Sounds as if you are not utilizing the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network access point. Whereas you can set OVI Maps to "Offline" if regional maps downloaded, if you just rely on Integrated GPS reception will be quite poor. You need to check in Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning server > Access point and also in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations - that WAP access point has not ended up in "Uncategorized" folder where not utilized.

Nokia N95 GPS showing different locations and inac...

First of all, I did all of the following while I am standing stationary under the sky. Okay, so I first went to tools-conect.-landmarks. There i made a new landmark using my current location. Then I went to Nokia Maps but the 'My Position' location(the red dot) and the landmark I made previously was not the same place(it was maybe around 30-40m apart). The thing is every time I made a new land mark with the Landmark option, it gives the same location and every time i open Maps, I gives me the other same location. Why??
Another thing is while driving using Maps, it seems that in the map I appear to be driving off the road. The satellite shows three-quarter full. Why is it still inaccurate?
Please help! I have never had any experience with GPS!
N8-00
RM-596
V 011.012

I finally solved mine! Turns out I was using the phone in offline mode. The problem just disappears when I went online, It was like the Maps software needed to synchronize itself by using the network connection. The 'Maps' is much more accurate now. It seems the coordinate using the 'Landmarks' was correct but the 'Maps' was a bit off
