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!

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

  • I have 3 PC's.  Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months a year.  So, if I have Icloud for my calendar, and turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all the old information on that computer to go Icloud?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    Cannot recall the full line-up of Effects in Pr 6.5, but you should have the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, which will allow you to resize the Clip. You might need to use Motion>Position in addition. Basically, you will doing a PiP (Picture in Picture), with no Clip below, just the black showing.

  • Can anyone explain why iPhone/iPad show one location and MacBook another?

    Hi.  When I'm sitting at home with my three Apple devices I've noticed that my MacBook shows my correct location (or at least within about 10 metres) on Google Maps and Find my Iphone.  My iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (wifi-only model) both show exactly the same location as each other but about 1km west of the MacBook.  If I step outside my phone picks up a GPS signal and immediately switches to the correct location.  All three devices are only using wifi to locate themselves (I've tried with Airplane mode ON, wifi ON and cycled location services OFF and then ON after a minute on my iPhone to ensure this) and all three are connected through my wifi router.  Does anyone else see anything similar?   Does iOS use a different location database to OS X?

    They won't appear if they aren't "universal" apps (i.e., if they don't work on both iPhones and iPads).  Of course, you also have to have Apps set to On under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, and be using the same Apple ID for purchasing on both devices.

  • Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

    Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

  • 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.

    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...

    Thanks...
    Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

    New versions fixes problems with earlier versions (and probably adds new issues that weren't in the previous one).
    Main benefit is more free (available) run-time memory (RAM) for applications.

  • Can I show different fonts and colors text on 1 multi-line text fields?

    I want to format different messages on 1 mutli-line field with different fonts and colors for the heading lines. Can I do that in Forms 6i ?

    You must use in trigger Post-query the sentence:
    Example:
    DECLARE
    cur_itm VARCHAR2(80);
    cur_block VARCHAR2(80) := :System.Cursor_Block;
    BEGIN
    cur_itm := Get_Block_Property( cur_block, FIRST_ITEM );
    WHILE ( cur_itm IS NOT NULL ) LOOP
    cur_itm := cur_block||'.'||cur_itm;
    Set_Item_Instance_Property( cur_itm, CURRENT_RECORD,
    VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'My_Favorite_Named_Attribute');
    cur_itm := Get_Item_Property( cur_itm, NEXTITEM );
    END LOOP;
    END;

  • Why do some websites only show the headings and not the rest of the page? I was on the same website at a different location and it had discriptions for the words.

    When in ma-vitalrecords.org, I put in the county and town and then went to the names. It pulls up the last name, but the rest of the information does not show, such as the child's name, date of birth, and parents. When I am at the library or other's homes, this information shows. This is not the only website that this does this. Sometimes if I hover the arrow over where the words should be, I can see the information down in the status bar. On the above website it did not.

    Hi,
    I have the same experience. I've been narrowing down causes, but it's NOT because you're not connected to Wifi. It seems to be intermittent. For expample, I'm connected to WIFI right now. Some messages or pix that were viewable yesterday are not viewable now and others aren't. All of the messages and their attachments are available from my laptop. If I try again later, I'll be able to see different downloads than what I can see now. What's odd is all of them worked just right a few weeks ago

  • 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 Maps Navigation now free?

    After using Nokia Maploader to get the maps onto my phone, its letting me use the voice navigation for free without buying a subcription. Why?

    I think I have worked out what is going on here...
    I hard reset my N95, installed the maps fresh (which took a very long time, but that is a different subject, so I won't get going on that)
    I then checked if I could do full 7 digit postcode search while at home and still no, with "Network Use" set to "Never"
    However, I have now come into the office, defined the wlan acess point (mine is broken at home) and set "Network Use" to "when needed" and I can do full 7 digit postcode search. If I then change that setting to "never" it reversts back to truncating the postcode.
    I would appreciate if other N95 owners could confirm that this happens on their N95 too, and if so, it looks like maps is pulling additional info from somewhere to enchance the downloaded map.
    You seem to be right. I cleared all the maps, then downloaded the maps for England using maploader and tested it. With network connection you can do full postcode search, but as soon as the internet connection is lost or turned off the system reverts back to truncating the postcode.
    If you use the route planner while you have the network connection you can use the full postcode to set the destination point while having the GPS position as your starting point and the destination point gets stored as your destination.

  • 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....
