Positioning Server on 5800 Ovi Maps

Question

I keep getting the following message when using the new Ovi Maps Navigation - Connection to network positioning server required.  Costs may be incurred.  If I say no then I can continue and get the free navigation as advertised, but is there any way of stopping this message coming up?
Solved!

Answer 1

MENU -> Apps -> Location -> Positioning Server (turn to DISABLED)
Settings -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->
1. Remove the STREAMING profile permanently by deleting the setting from telco.
2. In the INTERNET section remove all the telco settings.
3. In the MULTIMEDIA section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G MMS only and delete permanently the rest of it.
4. In the WAP SERVICES section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G WAP only and delete permanently the rest of it.
Note: screenshot settings may vary from service providers, above is applicable for one of the Malaysian telco
The reason you are deleting the unwanted settings is a special cause which you will overcome the credit drain issue.

1. Setup your WiFi setting.
2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page).
3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting.
4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet).
5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting).
6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES.
7. Load up the maps loader.
8. Click on the delete maps from storage.
9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected).
10. Load as well the voice guidance file.
11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished.
12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting.
13. Run the OVI maps.
14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting).
15. Go to setting and change the internet to online.
16. Select appropiate voice guidance file.
17. Go outside where more satelite can be search.
18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps)
19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA".
20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working).
21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view.
22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable:
1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges).
2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.
Below is a screenshot shows, full OFFLINE guide, see the GPS INTERNET connection is striked out:

The method / settings above uses device to GPS satellite connection directyl, therefore please go outdoor for better coordinate locks.
